Russian People In Revolt
1 SEATTLE, May 31. Russian peo-j
pie have learned to their sorrow that
Bolshevism Is not a political doctrine
but rather a tyranny of ignorance
and bloodshed which leaves individ
uals far less personal freedom than
they found under the czaV." Major
George W.'Slmmons. special commis
sioner of the American Red Cross
said here today. Major Simmons ar
rived at Vancouver, B. C, yesterday
and Seattle today on his way to his
St. Louis home. .
"Those who oppose Bolshevism by
word or deed are shot." the major
said. He told of murders of Siber
ians by 'Solshevlsts for trivial, rea
sons, some of the victims dying be
cause they lived In brick houses, otn-
erg because they owned their shops
nnd stores, one because he was a
policeman once, others because they
wore teachers. Many priests have
been killed, he declared, and i the
churches turned Into theaters.
Take Moscow by August
- Major Simmons praised Admiral
Kolchak's government and army and
predicted he would take Moscow by
August. The people of Siberia and
eastern. Russia, he asserted,' are sol
idly behind the Kolchak government
In Its fight against Bolshevism.
The American Red Cross nt pres
ent, Major Simmpns said. Is operat
ing 3500 hospital beds, mostly for
Russian soldiers. The Red Cross or
ganization extends from the Pacific
over 4000 miles west to well past the
