Amsterdi'in.—The correspondent of the Handelsblad. who recently returned from a trip In soviet Russia, gives the following account of his Investigations of the activities of the Chinese employed there by the bol-

shevik I as executioners.

“Such horrible stories were being told In Europe about these Chinese that 1 thought it worth my while to learn more about them. As a Joke, 1 asked everyone who asked my opinion of the holshevikl to show me some ‘real man-killing Chinese.' hut I always was told they couldn’t produce any Just now because they had all gone to

the Denlklne front.

“I was told the Chinese. If commanded by their own officers were excellent soldiers, hut they ran like hares If their officers were killed. Executions are now very rare In Moscow.

“Tiie Chinese do this work indifferently—like they do nil other work they are ordered to perform. They are blind, eonscleneeless fools In the hnnds of the men who feed them and pay them and who raised them from the position of coolies In which they came to Russia to the rank of soldier, of the guards. "If the 'boltsjnk’ (his name for bolshevik) orders something, the Chinese does It. and he does It In his typically practical way. Tie first makes the victim dig his own grave and then shoots him with his revolver. He is not cruel about If. Just practical. "When boltsjnk says kill, then he kills with an unperturbed face. And when holtsjak says, ‘You may stop now,’ with the same cool face he lets his victim go.” The correspondent after some weeks In Russia left when he was refused permission to make Investigations freely as he pleased.
