Bolshevik Furies Ruling in Russia Stockholm. Oct. 26. —Executions are the most merciful part of the j Red Terror practice in Moscow and | Petrograd. according to several neu tral observers who have just arrived in Sweden. These men have watched Bolshevik activities in the two great Russian cities for many weeks. They no personal interests involved .•d no personal friends affected by the reign of slaughter and torture which probably is unparalleled in the world's histry. While thousands, perhaps, have been executed, the list of victims is far less appalling than the ruthless j manner in which political prisoners i have been sent to death without a semblance of legal trial, the heart- S lessness with which they were treat- ! ed and the utter indifference of the : Bolshevik officials to appeals of | heartbroken relatives who have; been kept in suspense and not al- j lowed to learn what has become of loved ones. Verified stories of scenes at Mos cow and Petrograd prisons eclipse descriptions of the barbarism of the middle ages and make the cruelty j of the French revolution seem al- | most humane. Women prison offi cials, and many of them are women, i are even more heartless than men and trample under foot all the better i instincts expected of their sex.

About 600 soldiers, di vided equally between white and negro troops, are quartered on the ground there already with, of course, hundreds more to follow. The influenza epidemic which ex acted a fatal toll of sixteen lives among the soldiers since Its outbreak in the depot, is decidedly on the wane according to attaches of tho hospital there. Though there are still ap proximately 200 cases of the disease In the hospital now. these are admlt edly convalescent and improvement in their condition is steady. Three j deaths from influenza occurred at the hospital yesterday. Heretofore, dur ing the hey-day of tho eplßemic, it was no unusual sight to see half a dozen soldiers carrying a comrade, sick or dead from the Ho the barracks' hospital or the morgue. A letdown, however, in this grue some spectacle has been apparent dur* ing the current week. The construction people concerned in erecting the mammoth government warehouses have long since gradually sifted away to other and equally por tentous scenes of labor. For in stance the James Black Corystruction Company who have had a big hand I in the building program there, has I about completed their contract, some time ago starting on a similar gov ernment Job at Seattle, Wash., for which place several of their men left at the time of leaving New Cumber land. Though part of its work still re mains unfinished, the Bates and Roger's Construction Company are also knee deep in a new government building project at Toledo. Ohio, sev eral of their men having already gone there. Major Morava left the depot some time ago to supervise the new gov- ernment work being done at May's Landing, N. J., while Captain Owens, who, for about a similar length of time, has been supervising work at Augusta, Oa., has returned to New Cumberland to see that the work ends well. At its height, the full working force there numbered about 4.300 men. Now there are approxi mately 600 on the payroll. All hands at tho depot' learned with leltef to-day that Captain Tolbert. who fell a serious victim to the "flu" a few days ago, is gradually improving.

'PENNSYLVANIA IS CALLED TO SPURN APPEAL State Chairman Crow Says " President's Statement Is Executive Club t'nlontown. Pa., Oct. 26.—The fol lowing statement was issued last night by William E. Crow, chairman of the Republican State Committee, in connection with President Wilson's j appeal for Sie election of Democrats to both Hoimcs of Congress: "The appenL. of President Wilson for a vote of confidence based on the declaration that the election of u Republican majority ,to the Houso or Senate will be interpreted on the other side of the ocean as a 'repudi ation of my leadership' is the last word in Democratic autocracy in this democracy. "This declaration carries with it the implication that the only true r>n triot is a Democrat or one who votes for a Democrat. It is a refutation of the popular conception that this is a popl's war. It is the greatest attempt ever made to capitalize par tisanship and patriotism. "The appeal is nothing more or less than an executive club. "There is a llrriit to partisanship riding rough shod over patriotism. I call upon all good Republicans in Pennsylvania—the state in which the party was born, the state whose great industries nnd varied Interests have/ ever been a living witness to the wis- } dom of economic policies of the Re- . publican party, tho state whose fec ord for patriotism lias always been so high—to vote tho Republican tic- | ket on the fifth of next November J land elect solid Republican Congres- I sionai representation as a rebuke to this reilectlon on the loyalty and ' patriotism of all good Republican ; citizens nnd a repudiation of the pre posterous, unheard-of and unjust ex ercise of partisan authority."
