Mr Roger E. Simmons, who was in Russia as the accredited representative of the Department of Commerce, in the course of a detailed account of his cx- ! porionces said:—
“In Potrograd 1 witnessed On one occasion the undressing of a refined woman by several soldiers of the Red Guard. It was in the Nevsky Prospckt, at about (>.30 p.m. I hoard the screams of the woman, who had been taken into a side stroat. and saw the soldiers steal the clothes from the body. This was
just one case, and most of the women subjected to these indignities were women, not of (lie aristocracy, but of the middle class.
