MANY MURDERED
BY BOLSHEVIKI
IN BIELEBEI
BIELEBEI, European Russia, May
10, via Vladivostok, June 2 (Corre
spondence of the Associated Press).
The reign of the Bolsheviki passed
over the people of Bielebei like a
scourge. The Bolsheviki occupied Bie
* lebei for several months.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press visited the town within a fort
night after their evacuation. The peo
ple were just beginning to readjust
their domestic and governmental af
fairs. Refugees were returning to
view the wreck of their homes. They
were veritable wrecks, for the Bolshe
viki had occupied all vacated houses
and had carried away or destroyed
most of their contents. An elderly
judge of the district court, Professor
Paul Blumenthal, long a resident of the
United States, who left upon approach
of the Bolsheviki, was so overcome
with grief over the fate of his native
town that he wept.
Many persons had disappeared, and
it was well known that may had been
murdered. The corpses of victims are
being discovered. The correspondent
followed a stream of men, women and
children which flowed out across the
fields toward the edge of a scraggly
wood. There, under the overhanging
4 bank on the edge of a gravel pit, they
were lying, a tangled heap of bodies,
apparently as they fell or had been
thrown, with no attempt at burial.
The bodies were mostly those of
young or middle-aged workmen. From
each the boots and most of the outer
clothing had been removed. Of some
the skulls were crushed, of others the
faces were disfigured as though by
i gunshot at close range.*
The crowd on the bank above the
gruesome pile appeared fascinated
They silently made way for a grou]:
of Americans, including Consul Em
» bry, from Omsk, and two correspond
ents, and watched with interest while
they photographed the victims.
A nicely-dressed woman and little
girl walked into the pit to get a better
look at the figure of a blond young
girl, which lay partly uncovered close
under the bank.
The body was perfectly preserved
by the cold, and lay with arms bare
and crossed as though the girl mighl
have been sleeping. The face, which
4 was not disfigured, was that of an in
telligent, pretty girl. Toward dusk
the body was removed by relatives
who had come from Ufa. She was a
high school girl from that town whc
had been abducted by the Bolshevik
commissar when Ufa was evacuated
Close by was the body of another
woman.
When the Bolsheviki entered Biele
bei the government of the town was
taken over by a “revolutionary com
mittee of communists.” There was
formed a “committee of investigation’
under the presidency of one Veit, a
Lett. One of the first acts of this
committee was to shoot the president
of the former local county zemstvc
as a counter-revolutionary. The lattei
was ill at the time, and had to be
carried out to his death in a chair
Twenty men were shot, and in addi
tion many Mohammedan priests. A
member of the investigating commit
♦ tee boasted that he shot one priest
^because he was too long over his
prayers, while the committeeman wait
1
ed to take him.
High school boys and girls and
priests were compelled to clean the
streets. Women of the ’’intelligent
zia” were made to clean the floors and
walls of barracks occupied by Bolshe
vik troops.
Mme. Koshnevikoff, owner of the
most imposing residence in the town,
was arrested. Her daughter, seeking
her release, was told that the charge
against her was a secret. After a
month in jail she was released. It
developed that all they had against
the woman was that on a previous
evacuation of Bielebei she had served
such a fine meal to the Bolsheviki
that some of them narrowly escaped
capture by the “Whites” because of
tarrying over their dinner.
FOR THE SIX-YEAR-OLD GIRL
—
Wash Materials the Favorite for Chil
dren Regardless of Season
or Climate.
As radical style changes are infre
quent in children’s garments, a com
plete new outfit may be brought out
between seasons without the fear that
the little garments will be out of style
before they are worn out. Wash ma
terials reign supreme for the practical
service frock for the girl of six years
or under, regardless of season or cli
mate. During the days of the war
when the question of “help” was a very
; real problem, mothers indicated a very
I decided leaning to the little wool and
| silk fabrics dresses that might be sent
j to the cleaners and come home as good
| as new, but under ordinary conditions
i dresses that wash are always the wis
est selection for the child of six years
or under.
The guimpe dress, always a favorite,
is very much in evidence this sum
mer, developed in heavy linen or cot
ton, in any preferred color, to be ac
companied by sheer, cool-looking
guimpe or underwaist of white.
Pongee is so fashionable this year
and so much in demand that the supply
is not equal to the demand. It is used
for girls of all ages, from four years
old up. Dainty hand embroidery or
, hand work of some sort is the pre
ferred trimming, whether the dross bf
of silk or cotton. Hand-smocked gar
ments are dainty and smart. Novel
embroidery touches are much used, th <
quaint cross stitch or simpler patterns
being generally approved.
Georgette is a prime favorite for
party frocks for girls of all ages.
Georgette launders well, a strong
point in its favor. A party dress that
will go into the washtub and come out
as good as new is a very good invest
ment.
FABRICS FOR NEXT SEASON
Chinchilla Satin, Kumsi-Kumsa an«*
Whippoorwill Among Latest
Novelties.
Chinchilla satin is a novelty for next
season. This is really a Roshnnara
crepe on one side and has a satin sur
face on the other. It is specially foi
tailored frocks and separate skirts
Kumsi-Kumsa Is featured for fall, in a
range of street shades in attractive
plaids in combinations of black with
purple, henna, brown or dark green,
This is for both wraps and streel
dresses.
Whippoorwill is also among the
latest novelties offered, and seems to
be of the same family as Dew-Kist and
Kumsi-Kumsa—that is, it has the same
sort of sheen apd metallic suggestion,
but the crepe, or rib, is much finer and
more regular, so that it gives the im
pression of a ribbed fabric particular
ly suitable for evening frocks. It
would be equally suitable for draped
wraps, but it will be shown in the
darker shades as well as for afternoon
wear.
If you change your address, do nol
notify the carrier boy—report youj
new address to the office.
