One thing is certain and that is that the Bolshevist leaders have recently made all kinds of concessions to the people. ONE THING IS CERTAIN AND THAT IS THAT THE BOLSHEVOUS LEADERS HAVE RECENTLY MADE ALL KINDS OF CONCESSIONS TO THE PEOPLE
that when the restraint was removed the people went to the greatest possible extreme. It is not surprising that they all wanted to talk and speechify. Every man had some grievance or something to talk about. While the peasants were honest and trusted each other, yet there have developed so many traitors that now they do not know who they can trust. The great mass of people are like a lot of sheep without a shepherd and can be led or driven in any direction. Of all people, they are perhaps most to be pitied. A Russian gentleman recently expressed his conviction to the writer that the only hope for the country is in the church people. They are very religious and the Orthodox church was rich in priceless treasure and lands. But the Bolshevists looted and robbed the churches, which of course enraged the people. They were held in check by alluring promises, but these promises were not fulfilled and their eyes are now opened and they will rise up, so this man hopes, and overthrow Bolshevism.  ALL SURPRISING THAT WHEN THE RESTRAINT WAS REMOVED THE PEOPLE WENT TO THE GREATEST POSSIBLE EXTREME IT IS NOT SURPRISING THAT THEY ALL WANTED TO TALK AND SPEECHIFY EVERY MAN HAD SOME GRIEVANCE OR SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT WHILE THE PEASANTS WERE HONEST AND TRUSTED EACH OTHER YET THERE HAVE DEVELOPED SO MANY TRADERS THAT NOW THEY DO NOT KNOW WHO THEY CAN TRUST THE GREAT MASS OF PEOPLE ARE LIKE A LOT OF SHEEP WITHOUT A SHEPHERD AND CAN BE LED OR DRIVEN IN ANY DIRECTION OF ALL PEOPLE THEY ARE PERHAPS MOST TO BE PITIED A RUSSIAN GENTLEMAN RECENTLY EXPRESSED HIS CONVICTION TO THE WRITER THAT THE ONLY HOPE FOR THE COUNTRY IS IN THE CHURCH PEOPLE THEY ARE VERY RELIGIOUS AND THE ORTHODOX CHURCH WAS RICH IN PRICELESS TREASURES AND LANDS BUT THE BOLSHEVISTS LOOTED AND ROBBED THE CHURCHES WHICH OF COURSE ENRAGED THE PEOPLE THEY WERE HELD IN CHECK BY ALLURING PROMISES BUT THESE PROMISES WERE NOT FULFILLED AND THEIR EYES ARE NOW OPENED AND THEY WILL RISE UP SO THIS MAN HOPES AND OVERTHROW BOLSHEVISM
