LENINE'S
Till' various opposition factions of Russia arc bitterly
protest inn; the request of the supreme council tit the
peace congi'ess that Uolsheviki representatives be admit
ted to a conference of till Russian parties with allied rep
resentatives with Ji vi. w of reaching a solution ot the
liussian problem.
Tho effort to establish such a peace or truce is bound
to result in failure, for there can be no coniproniisu with
the Holsheviki. whose avowed purpose us ro destroy all
established political, economic
existing governments and
bloody tyranny of a minority
Americans find it hard to
viki have been enabled to remain in power so loni a turns
ami why tne outraged Knsstan people have not risen and
overthrown them. Russia is an immense country, little
developed, with few railroads and highways and the peo
ple naturally peaceable. The Uolsheviki remain in power,
just as the Romanoffs remained so long ridel's of Russia,
by control or magazines ana arsenals through, an oppres
sive police system and a, standing army and officials ex
ercising despotic power, ruthlessly suppressing opposi
tion bv brutal massacre all directed bv n dictator, who
is deliberately ruining Russia to experiment with his
theories. t n
Russia is ruled as absolutely by Lenine as it was by
Peter the Great. His ukases alter or veto the actions of
Soviets as well as change the basis ot- representation in
the soviet. Lenine rules through the support of the Red
Guard, whose -members are selected personally by him,
and the executive committee of which he is the 'head. Its
membership is recruited from the cutthroats, jail-birds
and adventurers, and their loyalty retained by high sala
ries, double rations of food, princely, quarters and special
privileges of loot. v
The Red Guard is to Lenine what the Pretorian guard
was to the Caesars and resembles in character the army of
mercenaries led by "Wallensteiu, which depopulated large
portions of Germany during the 30 years' war.
Representation in local Soviets is on the basis of one
delegate to each thousand workmen, and one delegate to
each 125 Red Guards. 125,000 peasants have the same
representation as 75,000 workmen a Red Guard there
fore being worth 8 workmen and 40 peasants, and a work
man being worth 5 peasants. As S3 per cent of the popu
lation of Russia consists of peasant fanners, one can see
how much real representation of the people there, is in a
soviet.
Under a recent ukase by Lenine, it is proposed to still
further humiliate, the farmers. Each 100 workmen is to
have a delegate, whereas each volost, or group of villages,
is to have 2 delegates. The Russian volost average from
six to tvelv$ villages, ranging in population from 500 to
5,000 persons. The volost with anywhere from 1,000 to
5,000 families, will have the same representation in the
soviet as a factory of 200 workmen one workingtnan
having as much power as from 10 to 200 peasants.
The Red Guard, with its 300,000 members, have a
larger vote in the soviet than the one hundred' million
peasants and when the workman's strength is added, the
helpl essness of the peasants under the Bolshevik regime
is apparent; :
; It is probable that any effort of the peace congress to
recognize or compromise the -monstrous injustice of the
Lenine hierarchy, yill be doomed to failure for the Rus
sian peasant will eventually arise in unvanquishablc" num
bers and break the chains that bind him
GENEVA, Switzerland, Jan. 25.
Losses sustained by Serbia during the
war are estimated by Milos Savcic,
member of the central committee for
Serbian reconstruction here, to ag
gregate 10,000,000,000 francs. This
is exclusive of the war expenses in
curred by Serbia and of the war loans
which Serbia received from the allies.
JI. Savcic asserts that the present
value of the Serbian property would
be double what it was, at the time of
its , destruction or 20,000,000,000
francs.
"Serbia and Montenegro," declares
M. Savcic, "have suffered greater
losses in lives, relatively speaking,
than any of the other allies. Serbia
alone lost about 320,000 men up to
the arrival in Corfu in 1916. One
half of her ta-paylng "citizens and
one-third of her. population perished
from sickness, epidemic diseases and
the unprecedented savagery of the
enemy at the time of the invasion ot
1914, and during the three years of
domination of the Bulgars and Aus-tro-.Magyars.
Sought Complete i)estmction ;
"Our enemies sought not only to
destroy Serbia economically but to
exterminate her people, so, as to rid
themselves onco and for all of the
barrier which blocks Germany's way
from Berlin to Bagdad,
"The restoration of Serbia will re
quire a certain amount of time. The
enemy must return everything he
plundered from the Serbian , mu
seums, libraries, universities, church
and schools and whatever has been
destroyed must be replaced.:, Ger
mans, Austro-Magyars and Bulgars
must return the livestock which they
drove away and pay lor the timber,
vineyards and orchards which they
cut down .and ruined.. Agricultural
Implements and industrial machinery
muat be replaced In kind. The allies
must supply us with food rb .quickly
as possible, likewise with textiles,
and medical stores, all of which are

understand how the Bolshe
built. Banks, loan societies and sav
ings banks must be "supplied with
money so that economic enterprise
may be revived."
Value of Harvest
Estimating the damages inflicted
upon Serbia, jr. Savcic, who was for
mer Serbian minister of public works
places tho value of one year's harvest
In Serbia at 1,600.000,000 franks
and adds that the enemy slezed-tliree
harvests. The invaders destroyed
130,000 horses. C. 000.000 sheep and
goats, 2,000.000 pigs, 1,300,00 cattle
and more than 8,000,000 poultry.
Manufactured goods to the value
ot 750,000,000 francs were carried
away or destroyed, he says. Dam
ages to private property such as fur
niture, machinery, etc., he estimates
at 400,000,000 francs. The enemy
carried off from Serbia silver curren
cy amounting to 30,000,000 francs
and jewelry of about the same value.
Requisitions, enforced subscriptions
to enemy war loans and damages sus
tained by private financial concerns
are estimated at 800,000,000. francs.
There are now atiout 100,000 dis
abled persons to be cared for and
more than '150,000 orphans to be fed,
clothed and educated. "Pensions,"
says M., Savcic, "must be provided
for the very large number of widows
and orphans. Our allies must com
pel tho enemy to repair roads,
bridges,' tunnels, railroads and to re
turn the shipping and rolling stock
which was removed.','.
