RUSSIAN CROOKS!
SAFE IN ARMY
OF THE REDS
(By Carl Sandburg)
CHRISTIANIA. March, 14— We
were four passengers in a coupe com
ing from Stockholm. 1 sat at a win
dow and rehearsed lines from the
world's greatest poetry while a moon
lit Swedish landscape of birches and
pines and yellow cottages flitted bv
They were traveling salesmen, the
other three. They talked in Swedish
about ti ;ido and markets, women, wine
and hotel*-, money, cabbages and |
kings.
“The la t five* months 1 have come
from Kiev Moscow and Petrograd,’’
aid the heavyweight from under thirl .
blond mustache. The qu^tions and an
swers between Mr. Heavy and his
companions ran this way for a while:
“Is the Rod C.uard getting strong
er or are the Bolsheviks bluffing?
“They . aid in some places there
are now a million He'd (iuurds in the
army. Sometimes they said there are
i two million, hut I did not hear that
t figure often. Recruiting officers are
! open in all cities, towns and villages,
j Many young men are going in who
i don’t care about Bolshovikism. T he)

vant to see some fighting. And they]
get better to eat.
“So many thieves have been shot
down on the streets that a good heal
thy thief prefers army life to the risks
of street robbery. It is a commor. i
saying that all the old professional
crooks have either gone into the army
or into other countries. There are slum j
districts and old hang-outs of crimi
nals where the Bolshevik rifles havo
worked freely.” And then with a I
laugh that might almost have shook i
the windows, “The Bolshevik govern- j
ment is trying to establish a monoply j
on robbery. The motto is: If there is j
going to be any stealing let the soviet»j
do it.”
Further along he volunteered this: •
“There is a new militarism in Russia, j
Six hours* work a day and two hours *
a day military drill was the rule in all j
the shops and factories I heard apok- j
en of.**
In this city I met Arvid Hansen, J
a left socialist avowing Bolshevist I
principles, and recently returned from j
Moscow as a correspondent for the:
Norwegian labor papers. He said:
“A wild drive is on to get an army j
of 3,000 000 Red Guards. They claim j
they have half the army raised. I vis
ited barracks and camps at Petrograd
and personally observed forces I j
would estimate at 200,000 in number.
I was told that the total number of
troops .in and around Petrograd num
bered 500,000.**
Constantin Greaves, former cnam- j
berlain to the Russian imperial court {
and a devoted companion of Cssr j
Nicholas , was at the Grand Hotel. I j
isked him what he believes to be the j
total strength of the Red Guard army, j
“They have about a mitlion men in j
•heir army/’ he replied, “but only
about 100,000 real soldiers that know
how to fight. The rest of the army is
a joke.”
Major Birger Osland, American :
military attache to the legation here,
was asked the same question. He said:
“Our information is reliable that
they have just about a million men
in their army. Not all of them are
soldier®, of course. Only part of them
are equipped with uniforms and
rifles."
