IF COL BOYLE

_
LONDON, June t;. (by mailt
An American's flight by airplane i.’uo
miles from Jassy to Odessa was the
means of bringing abotil peace be
tween the Bolshevik! and the Ruman
ians last March.
The American "peace dove." as the
Rumanians called him after his dar
ing flight, was Colonel Joseph Boyle.
Colonel Boyle, who was formerly in
the Canadian army on the West front,
was sent to Russia as the represen
tativetatlve of the committee of the
j American engineers in London and
spent several months in Rumania and
South Russia. The story of his secret
airplane trip is now told for the first
time
Colonel Boyle was one of the few
foreigners in Russia who had the con-1
fidcnce and dose friendship of the ex
tremist Russian parties from the be
.ginning of the revolutionary period.
I He wu« known tiinong the Bolshevik!
; .is a man of action, honest and fearless,
land anxious to extend them a helping
hand in every work of reconstruction
(Oil his journeyings around Russia he
j was never interfered with or dial
longed. He carried personal letters
and credentials from Lenine, Trot/.k.v
and a host of lesser leaders and could
obtain almost anything he wanted
from the local or provincial Soviets.
He was accompanied everywhere by
a staff of three Russian officers who
spoke Kngiish fluently and who dis
played great personal loyally to Col
onel Boyle.
During the latter part of February
the situation between the Bolshevik!
and the Rumanians became serious
War had been deelared on Rumania
by the Bolshevlkl government, owing
to misunderstandings about the status
of certain Russian troops in Rumanian
territory and Roumanian troops in
Bessarabia. Active hostilities, how
ever, had been generally avoided, and
both sides were presumably anxious
to reach an amicable understanding.
But communication between Odessa
and Jassy was in a state of disorgan
ization which made the telegraphs
and the mails useless Every attempt
at negotiation between Rumanians a!
Jassy and the Bolshevik! at Odessa
was blocked or brought to naught by
intriguers or mischief-makers. It
began to look as if things were going
to drift straight into bloodshed on a
large scale.
It was at this point that Colonel
Boyle, who had been trying to alle
viate the food shortage in Rumania,
arranged a meeting of unoffical rep
resentatives of both sides on the Ru
manian frontier and succeeded in
putting through an agreement be
' | tween these representatives. The
! Rumanian Government was ready to
approve the decision of these infor
mal plenipotentiaries, but how was
formal confirmation or even favorable
consideration, to lie obtained from
’ the Bolshevik side?
j The Bolshevik "delegates" were
without credentials or authority, but
| they felt if their case were properly
put before the authorities in Odessa
j their course of action would be up
| proved. Travel between Jassy and
i Odessa bad been impossible for sev
j oral weeks owing to the tearing up of
i the railway lines in Benderi and the
I wrecking of several bridges and
I trestles
Colonel Boyle volunteered to be the
j hearer of I lie olive-branch, to carry
j the peace proposals to Odessa with the
| least possible delay by means of an
airplane which he had already per
| suaded the Rumanian authorities to
1 put at his disposal and lie proposed
I also to use his own personal Influ
ence 'With the Bolshevik leaders in
Odessa to secure their approval.
Speedy action was necessary, for It
was known that orders had already
been given to the Bolshevik troops to
begin hostilities on a large scab. and
if was felt that once serious lighting
had begun, the chances *>t an amicable
adjust in en t would be diniindird
The necessary papers were hastily
prepared and signed, anil Colonel
Boyle motored to an airdome near
Jassy about noon, arriving safely at
Odessa before sunset.
The flight was made* at a height of
about 8,000 feet across a rough
mountainous country and in the fare
of a driving sleet storm The ma
chine twice developed engine trouble,
but this was overcome and a landing
was made in an open field not far
from the water front at Odessa. By
midnight Colonel Boyle had secured
the signing of the peace treaty and
the cancellation of the orders for a
Bolshevik offensive against Rumania.
