BL JUUSBURO TETLBGTVAPH
JOIN RED ARMY
AS ONLY HOPE
Russian Prisoners From Ger
many Sec Their Onlp
Chance in Ranks
Vladivostok. April 17.—X Russian
aviator who deserted the Red Guard
army in January and flew into the
lines of the All-Russian forces has
described the conditions then pre
vailing in Soviet Russia to a member
of ho British Mission here as fol
lows :
The Soviet authority had national
ized all supplies Including warm
clothing which was being furnished
only to the Red Army. The Bol
sheviki were carrying on agitation in
all countries as Lenine's only hope
for perpetuation of his control and
of Bolshevism. Lenlne and Trotzky
were not In complete accord. Trot
zky wished to restore much of the
old military regime, including salut
ing and measure of discipline. Many
Russian prisoners returning from
Germany had joined the Red Army
as their only chance to live.
The nationalization of women, he
said was untrue. Some churches had
been converted into theaters. Only
the "intelligentzia" went to church.
There were no private stores or
shops; all were under the control
of the Soviets and purchasers had to
show cards authorizing them to buy.
Army officers had no distinguishing
uniform but wore a star on the cap.
Officers of the old regime were com
pelled to act as instructors in mili
tary schools, their work being strict
ly watched by "commissars" and
their families held as hostages to
guarantee satisfactory conduct.
Power of the railway "commissars '
was unlimited. Railways were bad
ly operated. Employes spent much
time holding meetings. There was
no coal and little wood. Workmen
drink all sorts of substitutes for
vodka.
Moscow was well lighted but most
cities and towns were Inadequately
lighted.
Bolsheviki never entered villages
or towns except in parties because
of danger of attack upon them by
peasants. They had a very active
secret police organization.
In Moscow bread cost 100 rubles
a pound. Two hundred rubles was
an average charge for cab fare.
The peasants would only accept i
the old issue of currency and would
not have Kerensky or Kolchnk bills.
