If the answer Is satisfactory the visi

arrested, taken to the commissariat and
tlu-nce to the fortress of Peter and
Paul, where generally they are shot
without question. The recent execu
tions carried out at Peter and Paul are
no longer In ones and twos, but in
whole grroups by a special machine
STua detachment. The bodies are
mostly thrown into the Neva. Some
times they are fished out by mllitia
ruen. The militia now is armed with
old-fashioned carbines. All rifles sent
to the front also are reduced In nuin
I hers.
Passes Needed After II.
After 11 o'clock none may leave the
house without a pass signed by I'eters,
and only given to conclliar workers on
night business and agents of the ex
traordinary commission, who form the
night traffic In motorlorries eon
ducting perquisitions. These are so
thorough that if arms, even in a hol
ster, are found concealed in garret or
court, the president of the house com
mittee Is shot. The informant knows
a case where a whqle family was shot
because a field glass case was found
In a flat. The universal terror makes
the people repulse visitors even when
bearlnjj fielp or letter, fearing to be
compromised on counter-revolutionary
denunciations. Jakovelva. the notori
ous murderess, chief of the extraor
dinary commission, has gone to Mos
cow and has been replaced by an In
dividual bearing the alias "the bear."
In the army all officers without fami
lies are dismissed from the higher com
mands and sent to the rear. They are
replaced by men whose families have
been taken hostages. The wives and
families of officers are kept In special
concentration camps near Moscow,
whither they were dispatched last
week.
Many women have been shot when
their husbands were suspected of coun
ter-revolution. The officers are all dis
armed except those known to be com
munist party workers. Soldiers have
the right to shoot officers on the bare
suspicion of counter-revolution.
The Immediate cause for the In
crease In terror Is the abortive move
ment at Kraspavagora, enraging bol
shevlsts and inspiring them to devote
all their efforts to outroot the White
organizations In Petrograd.
Among officers and workmen the bol
shevists are taking the opportunity to
arrest all foreigners remaining In
Petrograd, including women.
Allies Seem Powerleaa.
There Is terrible disillusion In Petro
grad with the allies, who seem only to
threaten and unable to deal a serious
stroke, thus allowing the thousands of
patriots to be slaughtered and Inflict
ing mental torture. A month ago the
universal question in Petrograd was:
"Will the allies give food If they take
the city?" Now the question of food
has ceased to interest, though starva
tion Is at hand. The only question Is:
"Will the allies come quickly? If not.
then let them give over altogether. The
present state is unbearable. It is bet
ter to die quietly of starvation than
thus be hounded to death."
Owing to similar cause peasant rls
lugs, common as winter throughout the
country, now are seldom- Owing to
the frequency with which the peas
ants joined the Whites, who afterward
retreated, all the peasant families were
slaughtered simultaneously.
Following the feverish efforts on the
part of the bolshevlstff to prepare
against the surrender of Petrograd on
the eleventh, as previously telegraphed,
the civil evacuation was completed by
the twenty-second. All received ma
terial at the factories and military
stores of secondary importance were
evacuated and all telephone commuta
tors dispatched to Moscow, but on the
nineteenth an order came from Mos
cow to evacuate only parts of the ma
chinery, not the benches and perma
nent fittings, reducing the extent of the
work of the chief commissary.
of trains Is read^ instantly to flee to
the Volga towns.
A phalanx of picked agitators haa
been brought to Petrograd for secret
propaganda against the patriotic Rus
sian government If the capital Is aban
doned. Meanwhile the position of the
civil inhabitants is desperate.
The Nicholas railway has been en
tirely taken over for evacuation and
other military purposes. Passenger
traffic has been sbolished therefore

scanty but essential contraband fo^

Now this last Action of cultured life

As a result of bolshevlst tyranny la
the country an entirely new banditti
have appeared. The bolshevlsts mobi
lized all the young peasants, but a
large number deserting have formed
A line1 roving bands inhabiting the woods,
living by robbery and falling on par

Under an elected "Robin Hood" these
bands are taking the place of the for
mer peasant revolts and are known as
the green army. They are a veritable
thorn in the side of the bolshevlsts and
are reminiscent of the activities of the
little Russian guldemakl, with whom
they have a similarity In that they kill
all communists mercilessly.
The bolshevlsts still rely largely on
sailors to restore the weak places in

will again undoubtedly reject, but the
Russian peasants tortured under the
bolshevlst heel may be unable to con

cry is "Save us or let another save us.*
