RUSSIANS IN FRANCE.
EMBASSY'S RED FLAG.
BROVOCATIVE BOLSHEVISM.
Times. LONDON. Dec. 16. The Paris correspondent of the Times says the cerem.-ny which attended the hoisting of the Bed Flag over ,ho Soviet Embassy in Paris has aroused general criticism. The ceremony was performed with a provocative display of Bolshevism.
Members of the Embassy staff and a Communist choir assembled in tho courtyard. There, after a short address by M. Krassin, the Soviet Ambassador, they sang the " Internationale," and broke into shouts of triumph as the Soviet flag fluttered out over tho roof.
Tho Opposition newspapers dcs.cribo the whole proceedings as a positive confirmation of their fears that tho Soviet Embassy in Paris is to be converted into a centre of Bolshevik propaganda in France.
