Soviet Russia Suffers
Under Burden of Hate;
Life Loses All Value
Stockholm, Sunday, Sept. S.—
Bolshevik Russia is suffering the
consequences of class hatred in its
most violent expression. Human
life has lost all value and foreigners
and Russians alike are at the mercy
f officials who kill without trial.
Such were the conditions, at any
rate, when the Associated Press cor
respondent at Moscow left Russia
recently and traveled hence with the
party of American refugees that has j
irrived here.
Since War Minister Trotzky pro- |
voked the Czecho-Slovak opposition |
by breaking his jiledge to let the I
fzech-Slovaks leave Russia in peace j
the class hatred upon which Bol
shevism is based has revealed it- j
self in its full horror. Before the j
Social-Revolutionists broke with the j
Bolsheviki they acted as a check |
upon capital punishment. Threat
ened by the victorious Czechs on the
Volga, the entente movements from
Archangel and Siberia and general !
internal uprisings, the Bolshevik
leaders are madly prodding their
Suspected opponents and filling the
prisons with hostages.

ken and members of the Republican

each case the present incumbent
was a candidate for re-election and
was actively opposed by a Demo
cratic nominee.
Governor Milliken was opposed by
Bertrand G. Mclntire, of Waterford,
and United States Senator Bert M. I
Fernald had as his opponent Elmer
E. Newbert, of Augusta.

Second of "Gasless" ,
Sundays
"Gasles<? Sunday" was observed in
true 4juerican style in Harrisburg
and Vlcitjitv yesterday. Front street
looked as though it were just fln'.sh
ed iujd Had not yet been opened to
traffic. The main traffic arteries
leading from the city into regions
where the roads are a delight for mo
torists, were emptied of all but farm
ers' wagons and occasional motor de
live*' wagons. Boys on bicycles rode
up and down the River Road four
abreast, and no one disputed their
right to the entire road. A vontan
wheeling a baby carriage op the i
die of Front street was a sight that!
made old timers rub their eyes and
look again. .... I
There were occasional violations. I
however. Wherever a motorist was i
seen in the streets the occupants of
his car in most cases looked selt
conscious and sheepish. They could
hardly be called "pleasure ride's,
judging from their faces. '
An official of the Harrisburg Mo
tor Club recorded the following num

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
America Has the Will
to Win, Says Dr. Klein
in Rotary Address
Dr. H. M. Klein, professor of
history at Franklin and Marshall
College. Lancaster, made a stirring
address before the Haarrlsburg no
tary Club at Its noon meeting in
the Y. M C. A. to-day on "Keeping
up the Morale at Home."
"We here at home are at the very
heart of things, and when the heart
beats feebly the life-blood llowing to
our bows In France runs slowly."
"We must not expect the boys over
there to keep up our spirits, although
all their letters breathe an atmos
phere of good cheer and It Is our
duty to send them encouraging letters
and to let them know we are back
of them to the last man in our de
termination to win."
"The country is confronted with
two grave perils—that of too much
optimism due to war conditions as
they stand to-day, and the possibility
of an indecisive peace."
"The American people have reach
ed the stage of determination—we
have tlie will to win."
These were a few of the thoughts
in a sparkling address that brought
the Kotarians to their feet with
shouts that set the rafters ringing.
Dr. Klein has been engaged all sum
mer in Y. M. C. A. recruiting and
camp work.
CAPT. STACKPOLE
WRITES OF RETREAT
[Continued from First Page.]
speaks highly of their work. He
was himself slightly wounded in one
arm which he refers to as a scratch.
For several weeks the 110 th Regi
ment has been in the active zone. In
one letter ho says "We have dur
ing the past two weeks undergone
some of the heaviest shelling and
machine gun fire the war has 3csn
and other incidents have occurred
which will be the subject of my
theme some day, 1 hope, around a
warm fire. • • Naturally, my
company has suffered rather heavily
in casualties, the big majority being
wounded, but yesterday I received
somt new men ta partly rehabilitate
my command.
Germans Retreat Rapidly
"The Germans have retreated sd
rapidly the past week that it has
been all wo could do to keep up
with them. At present we are in a
small woods in • a reserve position,
getting a much-needed rest. I'ltc
strain was more than any of us, per
haps, appreciated and it's a great re
lief to eat a meal and not have dirt
scattered all over it from bursting
shells. Shell shock got a good many
of my men and it's a pathetic sight
to see a complete breakdown of the
nervous system.
The lloinc Support
"It helps over here." he ob
serves, speaking of the big pa
triotic parade in Harrisburg on
July 4, "to know about the in
terest and enthusiasm and war
work under way by all at home.
One feels he is being supported
to the limit and it is a comfort
able feeling." * (
"Have seen a good part of a cer
tain section of France in the last
month and a half. We are ever on
the move and indulge in trench war
fare only to the extent of digging in
where we happen to spend the night
or if we arc shelled. • *
"I've learned from persona! ex
perience that the American, man for
man. is above the German in courage
and pep. Americans in this present
counteroffeneit c have worsted Prus
sians and Bavarian reserves in hand
to-hand Combat. They are the Kai
ser's best scrappers and aren't in
the habit of yelling 'Kamerad,' as
did most of those against whom my
company was pitted. I learned also
just what war means and how de
structive the big shells are—ruined
towns and hole-dotted fields with
shell holes big enough to put a horso
and wagon in."
(u American Sector
"We have drifted into a sector
now that is eminently American, very
satisfactorily so. American trucks
predominate on the roads and Amer
ican aviators patrol the heavens with
their red, white and blue symbol
showing plainly on the under part of
their wings. Found a
dugout already constructed when 1
pulled in here with my depleted com
pany last night. We are still fight
ing in the open and matters look
y cry favorable for the Allies."

miles from the Hlndenbui g line in;
this area, where the German retreat!
has been slowest -and accompanied!
by the greatest resistance.
Successes also have been scored!
by the French in the St. Quentin j
region, where their lines join the I
British. There have been indications;
that the Germans intended making
a stand along the Crozat canal, de
fending thq stronghold of La Fere,
the principal outlying protection of;
the St. Gobain massif on the north.!
This plan appears already to have!
been frustrated by the French, how
ever, a crossing of the canal "op
posite Lle7 about three miles north
west of La Fere, having been forced
last night by General Petain's
forces.
Foe Is Desperate -
lblscwhere the French are right
up to the Crozat positions along vir
tually the entire length of the canal
with their infantry only four miles!
from St. Quentin and their cavalry
patrols hard upon La Fere. 1
There has been no further marked
advance by the French along the
more southerly stretches of the St.
Oobatn defenses before Laon, where
the German resistance now is of the
most desperate character. The enpmy
is reported to have massed enormous
numbers of guns in this region and
to he hurriedly strengthening the al
ready strong positions.
Berlin Claims Success
Infoads have been made upon the
ruubsif in the west by the French,
however, and there are no indica
tions that they intend accepting the
stabilizing of the line in this sector
whieh the Germans so evidently de
sire. Berlin reports an attack by
the French along this line yesterday
but declares it was repulsed uiong
the whole front with heavy losses to
the attacking forces.
Northeast of Soissons the Germans
reacted, counterattacking in the
Luffaux rcgiqn in strong force. The
French repulsed the drive and took
prisoners from five different regi
ments —an indication of a consid
erable massing of forces by the
enemy in this limited area.
End Is Not Yet
The German retrograde movement
in Flanders seemingly is not at an
end. Their artillery now is reported
to have been removed to the east of

Reports on the situation along the I
Aisne, where the Americans have 1
been facing the Germans abreust thej
canal paralleling the river on u long
stretch east fnoni Conde, were lack
ing to-day. The latest advices, how-1
ever, showed the Americans to have I
pushed their line farther forward to!
the east of itevillon, where it trended
off . southeastward toward liheinis. j
The village of Muscourl, about three]
miles east of Kevillon and in about!
the same relative, position to the (
river, was reported to be in Amer- j
icun hands.
As the allied armies draw nearer!
to Cambral, St. Quentin and the
natural defensive positions of the
Germans in the St. Gobain forest the
offensive movement begins to lose
much of the momentum it gained
and maintained while less important
enemy positions were being taken.
French Near St. Golmin Massif
Slow progress continues to be made
by Field Marshal Haig's forces in the
direction of Cambrai and St. Quentin
and, if the operations of the French
armies under Generals Humbert and
Mangin are successful in overrunning
or encircling the St. Gobain massit,
the German retreat must begin anew I
and with greater rapidity than at!
any time since the allied counter of-1
fensive started in the middle of July.
British Close to St. Quentin
Cambrai and St. Quentin the imme
diate objectives of the British forces
in the present phase of the offensive
movement aie almost within strik
ing distance. The British are within
six miles of St. Quentin at Willevque
and they have captured Roisel and
St. Emllie. Along the line between
Cambrai and St. Quentin the British
advance has carried them into their
old defense positions from whicn
they were driven by the Germans
last March. Further advances are
being bitterly contested by the Ger
mans.
Germans Stiffen Defensive
The Germans evidently realizing
that little less than disaster would
follow the fall of the St. Gobain for
est have stiffened their defensive by
taking advantage of the natural po
sitions. Strong counterattacks against
the French near Laffaux and north
1 of Celles-sur-Aisne seems to bear out
the belief that the Germans will not
give up St. Gobain without a struggle.
French Penetrate Servuls Outskirts
In addition to the protection it af
fords Laon the St. Gobain position, if
captured would weaken the entire
German line eastward toward
Rheims. Nortnwest of St. Gobain the
French have taken Mennesis and
