RUSSIAN TRAGEDY.

EXTINCTION OF THE CULTURED GLASS.

Going by the information published in the Times, a tragedy is being enacted in the South of Russia. The remainder of Russia’s cultured classes of society is now pressed against the Crimea and Novorossisk shores and in deadly horror awaits its end. There will he no mercy for them (writes and eye-witness of Bolshevik “evolution” to the Times). “I left Soviet. Russia later than many other persons now living in England, and know with what perfection and with what pathological extremity the extermination of the whole of Intelligentsia, including doctors, schoolmasters, engineers and lawyers is being carried Oil.”

The Ivieft’ Red newspapers gave very simple reasons for such an. incessantly growing number of executions: “The intellectual classes of the old training are working for us insincerely and even treacherously; they are accustomed to work'for the bourgeois class. They must he exterminated and a new type of intelligent people out of our own proletarian midst must bo created.”

Their women and children/ will be massacred without exception. Th : s is perfectly clear to me —I'know that “Evolution of Bolshevism” spells surprising progress and refinement of atrociousness. All who, remained on the wrong side of the barricades will be annihilated with a resoluteness typical of professional criminals.
