RUSSIANS NOT
AMBITIOUS TO
HELPJELVES
PARIS, Feb. 8 (Correspondence of
the Associated Press).—Members of
the Russian committee in Paris de
plore the tendency of some newspapers
in the allied countries to belittle the
actual work of Russians in Russia to
overthrow the Soviet government
headed by Lenine and Trotzky. Prince
Uvoff and his associates of the com
mittee point to the thousands of Rus
sian officers and soldiers executed by
the Soviet order as proof of the ac
tivity of Russians within Bolshevik
territory against the Soviet dictators.
In a conversation with a correspon
dent of the Associated Press, Dr. Boris
A. Bakhmeteff, the Russian minister to
the United States, asserted that only
a small part of the former Russian
empire actually is under Bolshevik
control, and that the Russian troops
predominate in the army that has
driven the Red forces out of Siberia
and are threatening Soviet authority
from North and South Russia.
Boris Savinkoff, who was minister
of war under the Kerensky regime,
who recently arrived in Paris, is typ
ical of many Russian leaders who have
been in Russia striving for the res
toration of a more sane order. Savin
koff, like many other fearless oppo
nents of the Bolsheviki, has been
working constantly in Bolshevik ter
ritory for the last year. He planned
the capture of Yaroslav last July, a
movement which threatened the over
throw of the Moscow government for
a time, and was put down by the Bol
aheviki at great cost of life and sup
plies.
Although the Bolsheviki put a high
price on Savinkoff’s head, he managed
to escape them through various dis
guises and subterfuges, and left Rus
sia by way of Siberia, coming from
Vladivostok directly to France by sea.
His activities extended into nearly
every section of Russia, and he had
many narrow escapes. Of all the
prominent Social Revolutionists who
have been pitted against the Bolshe
vik regime, Savinkoff is said to be the
most feared by Uenine and Trotsky.,
He figured. prominently as one of the
most dreaded terrorists under the im
perial regime.
Marie Spiridonova and scores of
other members of the anti-Bolshevik
factions have done heroic work within
the last nine months which resulted
in insurrections against the Bolshe
viki, so the members of the Russian
committee say, but the Bolsheviki
have controlled the Russian news so
thoroughly that the outside world has
known only of the movements which
assumed big proportions in districts
within telegraphic reach of foreign
newspapers.

WAR PRISONERS ANXIOUS
TO KEEP MINDS OCCUPIED
LONDON, Feb. 2 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—Proof of
the eagerness of war prisoners to find
in work escape from the depressing
* monotony of confinement behind
barbed wire is revealed in the Ruhle
ben exhibition which has been opened
here by Princess Patricia of Con
naught. It shows, too, the resource
fulness of the English captives in the
^German camp at Ruhleben and how
occupation not only kept them healthy
in mind but actually, according to
physicians, saved the lives of many
who would have succumbed to de
spair.
In the early days of the camp the
craftsmen among the prisoners found
the greatest difficulty in obtaining
materials. A bit of wood or scrap of
old iron was a prize.
Among the exhibits is a dainty lit
tle machine, perfect in every detail.
Before the artificer could make It, he
bad to steal the brass knob from the
commandant’s door.
A triple-expansion engine in running
order represents eighteen weeks’ la
bor. The raw materials were scraps
of metal found in the camp’s ashcan.
You see pretty purses and hand
bags. They were made from the
skins of rats trapped by the prisoners.
Toward the end there was estab
lished at the camp a well organized
handicraft department with about 300 1
pupils, in art-metal work, bookbind
ing, woodcarving and carpentry.
The exhibition is to help repatriated
prisoners, but many of the exhibits
are not for sale, the makers refusing j
to part with work that cost them such ,
patient toll. '
