By Lieut. BORIS SrIUMANSKY:
The BoUhevlkl are doomed. Of that
I am aa certain aa that I see a pen In
my fingers this moment. My obseiva
llona in the new Russia, experiences and
ltudles I have set forth In preceding
articles, convince ma. that an end will
come soon to this orgy of anarchy and
misrule.
In this final survey I shall descrlhe
the cauees which will presently' mske the
Bolshevlkl un evil memory in a resur
rected Rurala. 1 shall answer certain
i . . . ... ' . , . . , . ,
M-fuon.wnicn mm arise constantly m
every Assrlcan mind
These questions are. naturally : Where
do the Jews stand? Why are the Cos-eacks.-those
fine soldiers, helpless to end
the Bolshevik regime? What Is the
feeling toward the Bolshevlkl among the
swarming peasants? Why, If Russia's
heart Is right and only her head Is
wrong, does she tolerate these evil
masters?
The Jews In Russia were overjoyed at
the fall of the Romanoffs and the whole
fabric of their despotism. Well they
might have been. The best known
torles that ever disgraced Russian
repute were the tales of the bloody per
secution ot this people. The endurance
of Csardom meant for them only end
less persecution and extortion. Under
Csardom the Jews were living still In
the Dark Ages.
Scarcely a day passed without new
repressive and punitive orders being di
rected sgalnst the Jews, regulations
stifling their trade or efforts at culture.
Within an hour's journey from Petro
grad were thousands of aged Jews who
had never seen the capital because no
Jew enjoyed the right to venture from
his psle of settlement unless especially
privileged.
tiet Full' lltlaenahln nights.
The first order of the new regime gave
them complete civil and political rights.
For the first time In Russian history
Jews were sccepted In the military
academies. For the flrst time they were
free to travel where they cared to gov
Naturally they were for the new regime
whole hearted!). They gave to Kereii'Uy
their unfaltering support. Great Jewish
Jurists, Vlnaver and arusenberg among
them, were appointed by the Kerensky
Government to. help frame the new code
of laws. JewUh financiers placed their
millions at the disposal of the Russian
Government and had almost succeeded
In restoring the Russian treasury to
stability.
But their pride and Joy was or bit
terly short duration. When The Bolxhe
vlkl arose and gathered strength and
when schism appeared In the revolution
iteremwy ana tne moderate: on one
side, Lenlne and the radicala on the
other, the Jewish population became
divided also in its sympathies, Some
of the extremists went or promptly
to the side or Lenlne and Trotsky.
Many others remained loyal to moderate
aspirations. The result here as else
where was chaos Moderate Jews
founc" themselves prisoners in the for
tresses, reviled by the Bolshevlkl Red
Guard, as they had been by the gen
darmes of tho Czar.
The Bolshevlkl. in short, dealt fiercely
with all Jews that refused to how the
knee, and the policy was a shock to
the .Tews that had aligned themselves
nlth the Bolshevik leaderu. They too
began to see where the revolution was
drifting. They began to realise that
hopes of Jewish emancipation were shat
tering aialnst the rocks. Therefore
the majority of Jews now hste the Bol
shevlkl. They recall too late that the
KerciiHky Government brought liberty
and full rlvll rights to them. They
soe now that the Bolshevik rule has
cursed them with pogroms surpassing
In fury the persecutions ordered by the
old regime. These are reasons, why
th majority of Jews turned acalnst tho
BoUhevlkl.
Jrvea Oppressed Atala,
Not so long ago a committee of Jews
representing the most prominent of tho
race In Petrograd called on Trotsky to
appeal to lilm as a Jew tn refrain from
the course that were punishing his own
people. Trotzky dismissed them with a
sentence : t
"I am not s Jew. I am an Interna
tionalist 1"
The Jews to-day are longlrK for the
good, short months of Kerensky rule,
the honeymoon of Russian liberty. Then
In uussln. Jew nnd gentile met on terms
of equal cltlzcnahlp, bound together
by the Joy of new liberty snd by s
patriotic zeal to defeat the national
entny In the cause of their own new
democrarcy. Hut conditions have changi'M
savagely. The Bolshevlkl, deliberately
or by the run of circumstances, oppress
the Jew more fiercely than lie was ever
stamped upon In the old day.
He is mostly a trader. Therefore he
1 ai-cuscd of hoarding his food. When
the- usual and normal supply of food Is
found In a grocery maintained by a Jew
au accusation of hoarding Is made and
the food Is confiscated. When he de
dines to accept the paper money lisued
by tho Bolshevlkl he is declared to be a
traitor and an enemy to the revolution.
He explains with tho patience of centu
ries that he is no traitor mat ne cannot
buv supplies from the peasants with this
paper money, which is utterly worthless.
The peasants will not let him have
hcat, oats, nay or any or meir prooucts

Pogroms Incited,

from Petrograd against the Jewish pop

attacks agal&st Jewish communities, and

stories testify to the outrages that have
been committed against this people under

One asks now. Where do the peasants
Stand?
The rule of the Bolshevlkl lias upset
the friendly relations that once existed
between villagers on the one hand and
the city dwellers on the other. Russia Is
a country largly made up of peasants.
No less thnn 0 per cent, of the popula
ttor. are tillers of thesoll. Their sole
occupation Is agriculture. AgrlcuHure
occupies the first place In Runla's trade.
The principal customers of the peanU
were the dwellers In the cities. The In
starit the once pleasant and profitable
relations were destroyed the Industrial
system of Russia went to pieces and
misery rode over the land.
Formerly the peasants sold their prod
ucts In the open market In the cities.
They spent In the cities the money they
kyecelved for their products. But since
the war everything has mounted to a
price so high that peasants can afford
to buy scarcely anything for the money
(hey realise from thlr products shoes
for example, which command fabulous
prices. 30 and HO a pair. For a brief
time the scarcity of grain gave the peas
ant) their opportunity to raise grain
prices, but the BolshevfM Interfered and
et definite fixed prices for grain, flour,
butter, eggs, milk and other farm prod
ucts. This made the peasants use their
brains. They saw the Bolshevlkl In' a
new light. They said lo one another :
"How can these fellows call them
selves the party of the people when they
permit the rich city tradesmen to rhargo
a any price they please for what they
have to sell nd force us poor farmers
to sell at whatever price the rich 'city
tradesmen want to pay? There Is some-
thing very wrong In this, my comrade."
Peasants Alienated,
, To this argument and complaint the
Bolshevlkl make answer :
"Whoever wants luxuries must pay the
price asked, but bread and other neces
saries must be kept within the reach ot
the poor, and no high prices will .be
tolerated."
What has happened Is that the Bol
shevlkl have alienated the peasants
without helping tne poor or the cities.
The rigid policies of price fixing have
pleased nobody snd no class In the long
run. The peasants, seeing that they
could not get sufficient money for their
products, stopped delivering to the cities.
Millions of tons of foodstuffs piled up In
the countrysides. The cities began to
suffer from the shortage of necessary
foods. The pinch became increasingly
severe. City dwellers began to complain
against the price fixing methods. They
too began to use their brains. Com
plaints ugrJnst the Bolshevlkl have in
creased daily In the cities.
Once at least the Bolshevlkl tried to
cut through the economic knot by trying
to force tho peasants to sell grain at a
fixed price. This was attempted nt tho
village of Oblowska In the Government
of Klcff. But the peasants rang the bells
of the village church when they saw the
Bilshevlk officials approachlru "'.

Csasaeka the Oaly Loyal Kleaaeat.
Ho far as the Cossacks were concerned
they constituted ths one loyal element
In Russia, They were and are the finest
soldiers. They live mostly In the regions
of the Don and In the Ukraine. They
II, M. ...1 r.li.a n,,,1 at...u
because of their prowess and loyalty
they have enjoyed special privileges
They were always the trusted servants
of the Czars and for that reason the
people of Russia hated them. They
pictured a Cossack as a young brute
a-horsn who tortured peasants and
women and children with a knout.
The Cossacks have crushed many
revolutionary uprisings In Itussla nnd
were regarded Instinctively ns enemies
of the peoplo and supporters of reac
tlonlsm. The revolution proved that
they were willing to be loyal to a prop
erly constituted government of the peo
ple. They were lo)al to the Government of
Kerensky until they penetrated Keren
sky's weaktumes and suiperted hlm of
downright treachery to their own lead
ers Kornlloff in particular.
When Kerensky fell and Russia fell
Into the hands of the Bolshevlkl; when
It was seen that the people no longer
cared to fight; when it was aupnrent
that patriotism had broken down, the
Cossacks, disgusted, declined to serve
Russia under such masters and In such
circumstances, "went home to their Don
and to their Ukraine and created their
own republic. The Bolshevlkl disputed
their authority, but In the end the Bol
shevlkl had to submit to their independ
ence because there Is no better organ
ized, no braver force In the world than
these Cossack'1. They are the best ot
horsemen. ' They saved the Rueslan
armies time after time. No Cuesack
was ever accused or cowaidlce.
Alan Antagonised Others.
The Bolshevlkl have estranged the
Tews, the peasants, the 'Cossacks and a
greit many of the worklngmen aIo. I

many revolutionary parties, among them
the I'nlted Social Democrats and the
