Fantastic Uniforms Are Worn by
Bolshevik Guards.
MINSK, Soviet Russia, Aug. 20.
(From the Associated Press staff cor
respondent' with the armistice com
mission, via soviet wireless to Mos
cow. Aug. 23.) The llish peace del
egates while on their way to Minsk
to confer with the representatives of
soviet Russia were picturesquely re
reived after crossing the Russian
lines.
The Poles were escorted along the
highway in soviet automobiles of
American make, containing fantastically-garbed
guards. The guards
wore black leather uniforms and high,
domelike pointed caps with fur flaps,
each with a large red cockade. This
uniform has been adopted by the
guard of Leon Trotzky, the soviet
minister of war and marine, and it is
eventually intended to clothe the
whole army thus.
The towns passed on the way to
Minsk had already been sovietized.
The citizens were taking up police
duties and aiding the soviet soldiers.
The latter were quiet and friendly
with the peasants, who told the cor
respondent tnere was no looting or
other violence and that women re
ceived every consideration.
The wealthier elements complained
that goods requisitioned were not
paid for, while the Soviets reimbursed
the peasants for everything taken.
The Russians showed" the utmost
courtesy to the Polish delegates, but
the Poles were reserved toward- t e
Russians.
