BOLSHEVISTS WATCH ALLIES’ DEPARTURE Mamontoll Sags Reds Will Seize Foodstufs as Soon as Possible London, Dec. 12.—A distressing picture of the fate awaiting the popu- lation of northern Prussia at the hands of the Bolsheviki, once all allied troops | are withdrawn, is painted by the dele- | gation from the municipal and zem-' stovo organizations of the Archangel district now in England. “The northern territory has done all it can,” said P. Mamontoff, who heads the delegation, “‘to form its own arm but in spite of straining every nerve, we have not the mili force to en- sure our safelv. To leave the terri- tory at such a time, without assistance, means that the Allies would be giving over the defenders of ' the territory, ! together with all its democracy, to fire and sword. As soon as we lose the allied support, the Bolsheviki will bring up reinforcements for a strong ! offensive and we shall be crushed. *"Phe Bolsheviki are well aware thai we have supplies of foodstuffs which they are vitally in need of. We have had a good harvest for the peasants starved themselves to sow their fields, using garden grain for seed that they needed for food. They will not sur- render their dearly-won harvest with- out a struggle and that means a mas- sacre of the resisting peasants by the Bolshevik “Doubtless half of the peasantry will be wiped out. All of the political opponents of Bolshevism will he de- stroyed, along with their women and children. That is why we have come to England to make this last appeal to | the people of this country and to those of our other allies not to desert us in this hour of our desperate need.” One effect of the withdrawal will be, according, to the delegation, the total alienation of the northern Rus- sians from the allles.
