THE ASHEVILLE CITIZEN, TirURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 22, 1920. Appeals to the Allies to Aid All-Russian Armies old people and tha young children have all died. "They cannot survive tha hardships, and these people are the educated olaasea of Russia. Among them are the professional classes, the trades people, clerks and skilled workmen. The villages cannot care for them. Little towns built for a few people are already overcrowded, and the peas Prince C&ntacuzene Says Eolchak Forces Will "Carry on" Regardless of Pall of Irkutsk Declares Greatest ants have all they can do to feed and warm themselves and the people in their homes.

"The Kolchak armies have the men and they bava many and excellent officers. What they need Is supplies. .

His methods are ruthless, but his purpose Is to fight the Bolshevtkl and save the world from their clutch- aa. . On The Defensive. "The Kolchak armies are fighting on the defensive. Until they are glv n supplies by the allies, they will not be able to take the offensive. Their great contribution to the peace of the world at present Is that they are pre- venting- the spread of Bolshevism into : tbo Orient "The . Bolshevlkt in Russia have failed., It is only a matter of time before the peasants, who are disillu sioned and bitter, uprise once mora and annihilate the Bolshevik govern ment. When that happens what will the leaders of Bolshevism do? Rus sia is already looted and impoverish ed. There Is little more to gain by , obvious aim is to find new worlds to conquer. There is great opportunity for them among the ignorant -masses . of China and India. Ones the leaders .and tba propaganda -of the Bolshevtkl have entered the swarming lands of . the Orient, there is no estimating the Buffering and horror that will descend upon the world. Nothing stands be tween the Western nations, and such a catastrophe except the thin waver - lng Una of the Kolchak forces. "There are Chinese in the Bolshe vik armies. These men were paid 10,000 rubles apiece In paper money for taking Omsk. The city presented a picture of desolation and horror un matched In tho entire war, after it had been looted by the Chinese meroenar lea. These men are anxious to return to their own homes, and they have boon taught to believe that tho only thing which prevents their returning ia tha Kolchak armies. Once they break through they will return to China to spread Bolshevik doctrines from on end of tha Orient to the . other. 4 Wear Itself Out "If Bolshevism can be kept Isolated in Russia, it will wear - itself out by Its own excesses. Bolshevism is like a sickness preying upon the weak and Ignorant. By euttlng off tha territory occupied by tho Bolshevlkt by means . of military force, the disease will wear itself out. Governments are slow moving, but there is ona thing which can be done by the people of America immediately. Behind the Kolchak army there Is another pitiful army of refugees. Hundreds of thousands of : paopla have fled out of Bolshevik Rus sia Into Siberia, Thar are under the protection and care of Kolchak and the military authorities, and Kolchak has neither the supplies nor the equip ment to care for them properly. They are scattered all the way across Si beria on tho line of the railroad. "They are living In box ears 25 and 10 women and children in one car. They have nothing between them and weather which is at 45 de grees below trro, except the thin board walls of the car. Their only hest Is from small stoves in these cars. which they keep supplied by pulling down old snow sheds and gathering fagots. This fuel makes a hot fire for a few moments but soon burns out. They have Insufficient clothes to protect them against the weather and no shoes or medical supplies. I helped to curry out 18 corpses from one car and to bury them. Only those in tha prime of life are living today. The sian armies and thousands of valu able lives will be saved for tho fu ture. "The American central committee for Russian relief has undertaken the work of rescuing this pitiful remnant of a once great nation. If supplies can be sent quickly, a great service will have been rendered to Russia and to humanity."

Many people are shocked at the very word. Pictorial Review does not take sides in this discussion, but when a conservative country like Holland boldly endorses the movement and pub lishes its reasons for so doing-, it is lima we looked into the matter judicially and impartially. The remarkable story of what the women of Holland have done under the leadership of Dr. Aletta Jacobs is graphic ally told by Eleanor Kinsella McDonnell Jn the mid-winter issue of Pictorial Review. In this illuminating and inspiring- account, there is valuable information for every woman in America. In Holland today Holland, mind you slow-moving', conventional Holland they have a smaller death rate and a higher healthy birth rate than in any country in the world. That fact is unescapable. And Dr. Jacobs states that this is due to a sane understanding and appreciation of birth-control. Whether this is so or not, is for the women of America to judge after . reading this amazing article.
