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.

ed."

1904. and it was nearly eleven years
before plaintiff learned of the other

of November will see the last bit of
constructive labor on the place It
is expected. 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.
Hays Thrills Parly Men;
Denounces Wilson Appeal
Wilmington, Del., Oct. 26.—Repub
licanism as the saviour of the coun

'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."
