GREATEST HORROR--BRUTE BEAST “NATIONALIZATION” OF WOMEN Peggy Hull Finds the Infamous Decree and Its Tragedy in . a Tiny Siberian Town Murder, Too, a Bolshevist Art Here BY PEGGY HULL. N. E. A's Woman War Correspond- ent Covering Siberian Operations. With. the Allied Armies in North- ern: Siberia—Pigs squealed, a hen cackled, a baby was crying. I turn- ed over in my sleeping bag and open- ed my. eyes trying to remember where I was. It requires a lot of mental gymnastics to jump from a farm in Kansas to a village in Siberia which has just been besieged by the Bol- sheviks.. I accomplished it gradually as [took in my surroundings. The room fairly clean for a Russian housewife. The floor was bare’ but showed the satisfying re- sults of many scrubbings.

AND PERHAPS, you have heard these decrees denounced as “for- geries” gotten up by the allied gov- ernments to discredit the Lenine- Trotzky. Bolshevik government. WELL, PEGGY HULL, American girl reported and most noted of women war-correspondents, found the same decree enforced in a tiny Siberian villago which had passed into con- trol of the Bolsheviks, and she sent. to The Tribune an exact copy of the decree signed by the council of anarchists” whi has previously: appeared in these col- umns, and which, no matter by whom it was issued, has been used by the Bolsheviks to force women into unwilling “free-love.” and embroidered pieces were tacked here and there, and a couple of col- ored pictures represented Russian fes- tivals. An icon hung in the corner at the foot of my sleeping bag. It was smaller and less elaborate thar the ones I had seen in the homes of wealthy Russians in Vladivostok.

There was a round table covered with a gay cotton cloth of red, green and yellow and a few trinkets of cheap china. I came to the conclusion that this peasant home was somewhat better of than the majority. The beds alone were almost a sign of plutocracy.

Then a familiar voice said something in French and I knew Major G. P. Morton had’ come for me. I scrambled out of my bag, pulled on my boots and hustled into my tunic and I was dressed.

With the Russian officer acting as an interpreter, madame told us her story. which equaled in tyranny any- thing. that ever occurred under the monarchy, X At the first uprising of the .Bol- sheviks her husband had been, visit- ed by a committee and told to’ take up arms against the “bourgeousie” or die. He. refused to fight against the people who ‘had done nothing to’ in- cur his enmity. The committee went away and three days later madame, who had frantically searched for him through- out the village, found his body, face downwards in a little forest ,at’ the edge of town. ‘There’ was a* bullet wound in his back. Three sons had died on the eastern front during the first year of the war. ‘The only one left had been on:a:trap- ping expedition when his father was visited.

That these conditions not only af- fect the sprinter, is evidenced by the statement made recently by Earl’ Crad- dock, the champion wrestler, who was a sergeant in the. American, Expedi- tionary Force and who recently re- turned to this Country. Craddock said -he was overweight and slow and unless he found ‘he could regain his old time form, would retire from the mat. Those who have seen William John: ston, former national singles tennis champion, on the courts recently say that he will have to do much work be- fore he regains the form which made him famous ‘on the courts. Johnston served. as an ensign during the war and had little or no opportunity to get any practice on the courts.
