ALLIED TROOPS
ARE NEEDED IN
NORTH RUSSIA
EONDON, Oct. 30 (by Associated
Press).—A distressing picture of the
fate awaiting the population of Nocti^
ern Russia at the hands of the Bols&’dj.
viki, once all allied troops are with
drawn, is painted by the delegation
from the municipal and zemstvo organ
izations of the Archangel district norw
in England.
“The Northern territory has done all
it can,” said P. Mamontoff, who heada
the delegation, “to form its own army,
but in spite of straining every nerve,
we have not the military force to in
sure our safety. To leave the terri
tory at such a time without assistance
means that the allies would be giving
over the defenders of the territory, to
gether with all its democracy, to fire
and sword. As soon as we- lose the
allied support the Bolsheviki will bring
up reinforcements for a strong offen
sive and we shall be crushed.
“The Bolsheviki are well aware that
we have supplies of foodstuffs which
they are vitally in need of. We have
had a good harvest, for the peasants
starved themselves to sow their fields,
using garden grain for seed that they
needed for food. They will not sur
render their dearly-won harvest with
out a struggle, and that means a mas
sacre of the resisting peasants by the
Bolsheviki.
"Doubtless half of the peasantry will
be wiped out. All of the political op
ponents of Bolshevism will be de
stroyed, along with their women and
children. That is why we have come
to England to make this last appeal
to the people of this country and to
those of our other allies not to desert
us in this hour of our desperate need.”
One effect of the withdrawal will
be, according to the delegation, the
total alienation of the Northern Rus
sians from the allies.
KEPT SHOES AS ORNAMENTS
American Footgear Considered by Un
fortunate Serbian Woman as Alto
gether Too Beautiful to Wear.
Anything that will keep the feet
from the ground is considered a stioe
in Serbia.
In the remote rural districts of the
country it is said that many of the
people live and die without owning a
pair of shoes, in the bitterest weather
they travel through mud and snow
without adequate foot covering. They
consider themselves fortunate if they
can secure old gunny sacks or heavy
cloth, which they tie about their feet
with twine in winter.
The first American-made shoes that
were distributed by the American Red
Cross created a tremendous stir
among the people of the distant vil
lages. One old woman who hail never
owned a pair before took the shoes
i- that had been given to her to her home
and put them on a shelf above the fire
place. She was as pleased as a child
to own fhem, but nothing could induce
her to wear them. She said that she
intended to save them for fetes, or
perhaps for her burial. They were
“much too beautiful to be worn,” she
said.
