RUSS PEASANTS
ARE FIGHTING
BOLSHEVISTS
WITH THE AMERICANS ON
NORTH RUSSIAN FRONT, April 8
(Correspondence of the Associated
Press).—In this international army
which Is fighting numerically superior
Bolshevik forces in North Russia
there are, mingled with the half dozen
or so varieties of uniforms, men who
wear no uniforms at all. They fight,
as did the francs-tlreurs in the
Franco-Prussian war and the first
minute men of the American revolu
tion, for the protection of their fire
sides.
They are peasants, bearded or
beardless, with nothing to distinguish
them from the thousands of other
peasants living around them but their
guns and cartridge belts. They are
the irregular or “partisan” troops and
the sentiments they are showing and
fighting for in this wilderness of snow
and pine trees loom up so patriotical
ly that the government of Northern
Russia is'beginning to look upon them
as the keystone on which to build a
Russian state that will be free from
Bolshevism.
These peasants have known the
ravages of Bolshevik troops in their
villages. They have seen friends exe
cuted for anti-Bolshevik activities.
They hail the allies as rescuers. In
nearly every attack the regular troops
make against the enemy one finds
these armed partisans, crack shots,
going ahead of or along the flanks of
the Americans, British, French and
trained, uniformed Russians to scout
a path or take a pot shot at the
enemy.
The point of view of these peasants
is this: "The army has not yet been
organized; we are robbed and ill
treated by the Bolsheviki; therefore
we have to defend ourselves.” The
peasants in the Kholmogory districts,
along the Dwina river, have been
fighting for four months. Military
authorities say they do their work as
cheerfully and efficient as regular
soldiers. The Red Guards are helpless
against the revolted population.
The appearance of peasants fight
ing voluntarily against Trotzky’s
forces bas a demoralizing * effect upon
"the Bolsheviki as it disabuses* ’"cbe
minds of some of them of the theory
that they are being opposed only by
“imperialists.”
The partisans know that if they
are captured they will be shot. But,
knowing the forest country as city
dwellers know their own streets, they
are seldom captured. In scouting they
are as tireless as wild animals.
The government of the north for a
long time did nothing to help the
partisans, but, now that their useful
ness is recognized, they and their
families are provisioned as if they
were regular soldiers. In December a
big delegation of partisans went to
Archangel and, according to the local
newspapers, “this new apparition
stirred up all the classes of popula
tion of the town.”
It became clear that a sound evolu
tion from anarchy toward patriotism
had taken place among the people,
that the efforts of the partisans,
though of a local character, must be
Supported, and that it was absolutely
necesary to create a suitable atmos
phere for further organization of
partisan detachments. 4. big commu
tes including all political parties has
been formed in Archangel to aid in
this plan and a new partisan news
paper is to be published for the bene
fit of the fighting peasants.
GOOD EYESIGHT AND
SOUND HEART ARE ONLY
QUALIFICATIONS SET
LONDON, April 15 (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).—The
fact that only young men capable of
passing severe physical tests, were ac
cepted for aviation work during the
war has caused the belief that flying
as a sport will be barred to persons
past the prime of youth. That is a
mistake, according to British experts,
who say that for ordinary peace-time
flying there should be no age limit.
The only qualifications they sot are
good eyesight and a sound heart.
Flying an airplane, it is pointed out,
is much simpler; and far lesB nerve
racking than driving an automobile or
sailing a yacht. Any man who has
lived a decent open-air life, especially
if he has played games and hunted,
will find that learning to fly, even at
the age of fifty, is quite an easy busi
ness, experts say. A modern airplane
will virtually fly itself, and the con
trols are so aranged that a man, even
in his first trip, it is argued, does the
right thing instinctively.
In the early days of the war fully
fifty per cent of Britsh airmen were
over 30 years old. As the art of
aerial warfare devloped the pilot had
to prove himself proficient in bomb
ing, wireles telegraphy, formation fly
ing, cloud navigation and the numer
ous stunts that became essential for
the air fighter. This was the phase
of war-flying that called for iron
nerve and fear—blindness, eliminat
ing all aspirants except the young.
IRON CROSSES STILL
' BEING GIVEN GERMANS
COBLENZ, April 15 (by Associated
Press).—Iron crosses are still being
awarded to German soldiers in var
ious parts of the country. Newspapers
in the American occupied areas as
well us those published in unoccupied
Germany every few days carry no
tices to the effect that word had been
received from the War ministry that a
soldier has been awarded the iron
cross foi some act of gallantry during
the war.
