HORRORS OF BOLSHEVISM
REIGN OF FORTURE AT ODESSA..
The Rev. R. Courtier-Forster late British Chaplain at Odessa, and the Ras
sian Porte of the Black Son, writes in the
Times:-
Do English people really imagine that the published accounts of the appalling strosities and brutal tyranny of the Bol shevist rule in Russia are an exaggera= tion 1 Before Ged. I wish I could believo
are not trae to the actual facts Could I but find them untrue, I would speak for the Bolsheviats from end to end of England, for I have always done what lay in my power to alleviate the condi tions of life of the manual workers and to raise the standard of living and the opportunities for personal development under which they live.
While I was still British chaplain of Odessa, the city was deluged, with blood. When the Bolshevist elementa, grafting on to their main support the 4,000 criminals released from the city gaols. attempted to seize the town people of Aeducation, regardless of social position, offered what armed resistance was in their power. The Bolshevista were victorious. Da capturing Odessa Railway Station, which had been defended by a few officers rad a number of anti-Bolshevist soldiers,
Bolshevista bayoneted to death the wounded and helpless men laid on the uiting-room floor to await Red Cross
Sepres of other men who fell wounded in the streets also became victims to the triumphant Bolshevist criminals. The majority of these wretched and unhappy sufferers completely disappeared. A fort- night
later there was a terrible storm on the Black Sea, and the bodies of the miss ing men were washed up on the rocks of Odessa breakwater and, along the shore; they had been taken out to sea in smell boats, stones tied to their feet, and then been dropped over alive into deep water
VICTIMS ROASTED ALIVE.
On the Sinope General Chormicheff and some other personal friends of my own were fastened one by one with iron chains to planks of wood and pushed slowly, inch by inch, into the ships furnaces and roasted alive. Others were tied to winches, turned until the men were torn in two alive.. Others were taken to the boilers and scalded with boiling steam;

TREATMENT OF WOMEN,
Week by week the newspapers published articles for and against the nationalize tion of women. In South Russia the pro- posal did not become a legal measure, but in Odessa, bands of Bolshevista seized women and girls and carried them off to the Port, the timber yards, and the Alexandrovaky Park for their own par- poses. Women used in this Way were found in the mornings either dead or mad or in a dying condition. Those found still alive were shot One of the most awful of my own personal experiences of the New Civilization was hearing at night my bed-room windows the frantic

So many hundreds of people were treated in this manner under the Soviet gule, that the satirical paper of Bouth Russia, the Scourge, brought out a full-page cartoon, representing one of the chief streets of the city, with a naked man and woman departing hand in hand up the road while a group of unkempt Bolshevists with men'a trousers and wo- men's underclothes futtering on their arms were seen running in the opposite direction. Beneath was observation. In Odessa, ther World finds Paradise anew. For this reflection on the glorious, new civilization of the Soviets, the windows of the Scourge offices vere sunabed and the paper fined.
