PAGE THREE BOLSHEVIK ATROGITIES DESCRIBED BY PROMINENT RUSS NOBLEWOMAN Hundreds of Persons Tortured in the Most Inhuman Fashion Before Being Put to Death and Their Estates Pillaged and Mansions Razed—Thousands Die From Hunger All Over Country.

Her castles and estates plundered or razed, her fortune vanished and her friends und family wurdered, this titled woman is moved fo remark that “three ycars «]'agy, my second daughter and her hus- hand died, he having caught cold In the trenches.

Both the noblewoman who wrote the letter and the woman who received it are well known.. The danger involved fer the former makes it'advisable that not only the names of the persons but the names of the localities mentioned be withheld from publication. The let- ter in full reads as follows: “My very, very dear Mrs. 1-—: “At last 1 am able to write to you and to hope to hear from you. “I will endeavor to tell you briefly the personal events of these terrible last years. But how to begin? How to give you the faintest ldea of the unimaginable atrocities committed by the bolsneviki? Speaking of our- selves, I will tell you that we have lost everything. The bolshevikl have stolen all our fortune, boxes of silver- ware, precious objects, personal re- membrances which undoubtedly are now destroyed. Fraed to Flee Fron Home. “I'hree years ago my second daugh- ter and her husband died, he having caught cold in the trenches. Then 1 was in despnir, now 1 envy them. The year 1917 in autumn, we had to flee from M——, and come to the city, where we lived under the reds’ regime until the arrival of the Germauns, “You have probably read in the pa- pers that the reds had sent to Siberia 300 Russian barons, and also some bourgeoisie; some died and the others returned two months after. “Although under our roof lived a military guard of bolshevikl or reds, good luck kept us from sharing their lot. 1 cannot describe the last days. After the arrival of the Germans a list was found of about a thousand persons, in which we were, who were to be shot the very next day. “The reign of the Germans lasted exactly seven months; they annihi- lated all our hopes, they accumulated taxes upon taxes; carrylng away all the food to Germany, leaving the peo- ple®of our cities to starve. “No discipline, corruption every- where, no administration. Only those who deliberately closed their eyes to evidence failed to see that a country thus plundered and so badly treated was not to remain long under their rule. But, alas! How many were blind ! “Then came the great catastrophe; the German troops fraternizing with the bolsheviki at W—-—; surrendering to them cannon, war ammunition, and refusing to fight. The Germans even damaged the cannon they left to the Esthes troops, which had been formed hastily and ere incapable of defend- ing themselves, having nothing, abso- lutely nothing! Reds’ Rule Was Worse. “Then, for another year the country was at the mercy of the reds, and it was worse than the first time. “The Bolsheviki had with them Chi- nese and Red Lettes, who were ter- ribly cruel, and those forméd the guard of the unfortunate emperor and his family. “On the 28th of November we learned that W—— had fallen; that the Germans were leaving us in haste; and, as the German general command- ing at R——, had, at the request of the Lettes, refused the formution of troops with the men of the country, vie were left without any defense. “The lights of the electric projectors of the enemy's ships already illuminat- ed our shores; from the castle’'s tower we could see everything; -there was not a minute (o be lost. The trains were running only, for the Germun troops; it was then necessary to risk traveling by the inland ways, through dreadful roads and in a country in revolution, for when the Germans took posses- S Home of Good Hardware e 1 + | + | _— C.

We were able to stly four weeks at our home, then In gro-t haste we had to embark on the boat sent to Finland for the fugitives and we arrived at Helslngfors, Lassitudé, troubles, and emotions of all thess' weeks overwhelmed at last my poor husband.

However, we re- celved, on account of my husband’'s bad condition, permission to stay untll he would get better. “Going hack was an-impossibility, the situation being still very grave; a second expedition was no longer pos- sible for the strength of my poor hus- band; moreover, we had nothing left: Our large city house was taken and turned into a hospital by a Russian volontaire. corps.

Kirst by the bolshe- viki, then by the Ksths, whom the Germaris left unpunished ; then by the white troops and the Finns, who were' fighting the reds, German properties: beéing left unmolested. Family Lost Everything. “Last year our estate had suffered, but our magnificent castle with all its dependencies had been respected. Now all have pillaged it. The Finns being more civilized stole the most beautiful things—-paintings, bronzes, antiquen, ete. Finally the 36 masters’ rooms and the 11 servanls’ rooms were plundered. What they could not take away they smashed or burned. We lost every- thing. Not a sheet, not a plate or & glass exist, and. when our intendant complained to the minister of state (a Thesthe), he answered him that nat- urally in war time everybody wanted to have some souvenirs. The whites pillaged, as I hear, RO estates, and they were supposed to he our defenders! “Friends here obtained for us :the permission to come to K——, where we found two rooms In a family. We hope soon 1o find some occupation, and sell some furs that I could take with me, for unfortunately wmy beautiful laces are also In Petrograd. “I do not kuow whether you have an idea of what the bolsheviki have done everywhere whenever they had to re- tire. At W—— they killed 82 people; we have lost friends, acqualintances and our excellent and noble doctor. Al- most all were tortured before being put to death. Before shooting Doctor L——o they broke his two legs. To the old Raroness H., seventy-lwo years old, after having opened her stomach, snatched out her intestines while alive. They killed priests, doctors, nobles,| merchants, women, children and peas- ants. They made several persons dig their own graves, foreing them to un- dress; n earriage was walting to take away their clothes. Then they tor- tured every one, breaking arms and legs. crushing the limbs, snatching the intestines, gougiug out the eyes, scar- ring the cheeks, and they even burned two persons alive. “There were three large pits; they tos«ed pell mell in one of them the living and the dead, and then these monsters jumped into the pit and trampled under foot the unfortunates until they were lifeless. “I'welve persons were so crushed and disfigured that they could not be recognized. And all that is true! “After the corpses had been ex- humed the doctors and the officers of the state took photographs of each, af- ter having examined everyone of them. Russia Awaiting the Allies. “At D——, at W——, etc., whenever the Reds were repulsed—note, | pray you, that 1 say ‘everywhere'—the same tortures were Inflicted to the unfortu- nate ones. I shall not try to describe the herrors of other places, for it has been the same everywhere. “At D——, hundreds have been thrown under the ice of the river, yet a element death compared with the others. “Thousands die from hunger in all Russtia ; bolshevism reigns everywhere.
