DATUM. Sept. 20. (Dy a Staff
Correspondent of the Associated
Press. Entrance into Kussla through
the Black Sea may be compared to n
visit to a dreaded battle front. Thoro's
lots of fear of death and destruction
but somehow dnc does not find them.
These elements of unensy sleon seem
to lflrk nhvnys Just a little farther
nlong.
The. traveller has himself rammed
full of vaccines vaclnes against chol-
era( pest smallpox and typhoid is
mndo properly ill in advance only to
find that tlioso diseases oro Just now
8ut of season. Tho only thing ho
'needs is quinine pet for himself but
for malaria patients about tho .sea-
ports. Fear of Russia should not be based
on fear of vldlonce of bodily hurt
so much as to tho discomfort of living
in a land where social and economic
conditions are very hard. Money Is
hard to earn. Dock laborers nt Datum
when they work ih&y earn 8000 rub-
les or right cents per day and this
the prlco of two pounds of bread.
After nil tho stories of revolutions
nnd counter revolutions the murders
and w.hatnot. ono 1b distinctly surpris-
ed to find people going about as usual.
There seem to bo more people than
ever before. Ono wonders whero they
come from. They swarm about tho
cities the train stations in the coun-
try thick as ants.
YCt rioh and poor seem alike on-
gaged In tho process of getting out of
Russia Many of tho rich have done
so. Their old lifo has been broken
up their ftoclnl life their lifo of edu-
cating nnd rearing families. Their
manner of living and thinking does-
n't fit h to tho new chnos. and they
prefer to get' to Constantinople
' so 'much so that it has become al-
most a Russian city and thenco filter
through to Eurotfo and there live on
clinrity and their wits. Some man
ngo to retain wrecks of their fortunes
for old Russia wa3 rich beyond the
dreams of western Europe. Every-
body seems to liny had gold and Jow-olry-
in abundance. Those with pro-
perty aro still slipping away and with
out too much difficulty or hindrance
from the Soviet.
Only they must use caution. A cer
tain Mellkovi tho Russian-Armenian
owner of tho nowspapcr" Horizon In
Tlflis hud his home requisitioned so
lie cot leave tn donart to Constanti
nople. On tho way his baggago was
searched a diary was found tolling
iii3 inmost reflections about tho Bol-
shavlkl and tho new order of life a
diary that ho possibly was Intending
to publish. Tho foolish man was
hauled beforo tho "Choka" the secret
police with extraordinary powers
from whoso "decision- thcro Is no rq-
course and ho was executed.
Landing from ono of tho various;
passenger and freight vessels that run
weekly In nnd put of Datum to and
from Constantinople tho traveller
finds .that tho Bolshovlkl aronot such
dreadful peoplp after all. It Js fa-
easier than gottlng to or from shin
In Constantinople whero the Allies
reign.
.Thcr arc a lot of guards at tho
gangplank to stcor departing travel-
lers tlirdugh tho customs but most
anyono passes back and forth who
wishes. There ' is first tho formality
of. telling tho port control who yoif
are. Ho is a good-humored patient
Elorlficd Red guard who knpws no
language but Russian and that Indif
ferently thore aro so many dialects
Of 'Russia. Ho wears -a peaked cap
pdshed on tho back of head with Its
red star and tho spado and shovel of
labor.
Getting Into Russia
Tho passengers who have; carefully
collected all sorts of credentials in
Constantinople from Soviet commer-
cial missions crowd about him and
h.e takes their ;iamcs and looks cas-
ually at tholr vises. Tho Americans
who have only a hit of typewritten pa.-
per a receipt from the United States
Consul for' their passports generally
havo a Soviet letter in addition. Tho
control officer doosn't stamp their pn-
pers afresh to show" they may land.
He merely indicates with a wavo of tho
hand that passengers maydobark and
they do full of surprise that they have
not been disturbed Travellers in .Eu-
rope aro so In tho habit of being both-
ered that they think something Is
wrong here that they haven't been.
Ashore in tho sunshlno amid tho
tree-lined stroots sitting In a carriage
with rubber tlrea driving to a good
restaurant tho travejlor is still wond-
ering why something hasn't happened
to him but it probably will not so
lpng as he has money to pay his way
nnd especially if liu is an American
thanks to American charity influcnco
and the general good standing of
Americans in tho hearts of the peo-
ple. In Datum now controlled by the
Moscow Soviet affairs seem to slip
along In a certain looso groove Non
body worries much about the political
changes but they do fear tho "Choka"
Tho most noinoio social cnange in
tho peoplo qf this little .San Francisco
tiet by tho seashore atnld palms and
.flowers at tho foot of a fertile hll
country is that on tho beach. In the
old days tho girls and women of tho
city used tp batho often without bath-
ing suits in a spaco sot asldo for them
whero no men woro allowed. During
tho past two years the wiro fenco
shutting off this space has been Btplert
and. tho plnco for tho women may bo
encroached upon; but many of the
Womn contlnuo tho old custom of
bathing without suits.
While thero in less nnd less furni-
ture in the' flno houses bohlnd the
park at tho lending restaurant mny bo
had ns good a meal as In Paris or Lon-
Son nt one-third Paris or London prie-
ot. Tho strict morale of the early So-
viet days has gono everywhere No-
body resents or prevents anybody else
from having a good time If they havo
tho money. Tho poor who live in re-
quisitioned villas or who sleep In tho
empty warehouse sheds along the-
waterfront according to their luck
