"There have not been tnanv pieces

that which has befallen the Allies in

Are we going to take advantage of
It, or Is the opportunity which has

be frittered away as so many others
have been7 Ever since the signing
of the peace of Brest-Litovsk the
cause for Allied intervention In Russia
has existed."
The paper then reaffirms that no
opposition to Germany's eastern pro
ject can be expected from the Bol
shevlkl as long as Lenlne directs their
policy.
"As a matter of fact." It says.
Lenine's complaisance to Germany
went much further than the published not "itend to hold the Soviet Govern
treaty. It is known to the Allied mpn' at Moscow responsible for tho
governments that he ha3 signed

Since the Germans have entered Fin
land 7S.000 workmen there have been
arrested and many- of them have ben
executed, declared Hugo .Haase, leader,
nf the mlnorltv Socialists, in a recent
speech In the Reichstag, according to a
verbatim report published by the Het
olk The denutv also criticized Ger
man rule In Livonia and Hsthonla.
After pointing out that those who I
prcoked civil war In Finland were re
sponsible for the calling in of the Ger
mans. Deputy Haase said:
"The list of those sentenced to death
In Finland contains the names of a
former Premier and fifty Socialist mem
bers of Parliament, some of whom al
ready have been shot. Owing to the
numerous dally executions, the town of
Sveaborg has been renamed 'Golgotha ' "
The speaker then referred to the sup
preslson of vernacular newspapers In
the provinces of Livonia and Ksthonla,
and added!
"Fifty persons recently were arrested
at Dorpat, and German military dic
tatorship rules everywhere. A boy aged
ten was sentenced to a long term of
Imprisonment for concealing arms, while
a boy fifteen years old was sentenced
to death for picking up a manifesto
For a similar offense a woman named
Julia Datt was executed "
Deputy Haase then read a letter from
a Bolshevlkl now under arrest, which
said'
"Julia Datt Is dead, but her last words
will live frrever, as will the last male
dictions which she flung at the German
hangmen and oppresrors."
