Says the People
of Moscow Live
In Terror of Reds
Baku. May 26.—Glimpses into the
fantastic life in Moscow under Bol
shevik rule are given by an Ar
menian engineer who has arrived.
j here from the capital of Soviet Bus- j
i sia. He says the people of the city j
j live in terror of the Bolshevik Red j
Guard and that the former bour- j
geosie have very few privileges. To >
be well dressed is a crime. The.
hated upper classes must masquer
| ade as poorer folk whenever they go •
! into the streets. Good clothes or,
j furs bring down upon them the cry
!of ••Bourgeois." One word of pro
i test or of non-submission to the rul
j ins powers is quite sufficient to evoke
I the damning word, "count er-revolu
i tionary." That means prison and
I sometimes death. The jails alread>
| are full of counter-revolutionaries,
i and the Armenian says almost daily !
j from 30 to 50 men and women are i
shot.

sacrifices made by the American
soldiers in all of the wars in a brief
review of them.

Japs Cruel to
Korean People,
Minister Says
I'eking:. May 26. —The Rev. Ed
ward W. Thwing, oriental secretary
of the International Reform Bureau,
who was in Korea in March and i
personally witnessed some of the dis
turbances resulting from the Korean
Independence Movement, declares
I that "the lower Japanese officials
and soldiers hßve acted like lawless
savages in dealing with this peculiar
situation." The movement in Korea
is described by the Kev. Mr. Thwing.
who formerly was an American mis
sionary as "a peaceful revolt which
should have been handled with the
greatest of tact."
"In a remarkable manner." he said
to the Associated Press, "the Korean
Independence Movement has mani
fested skill, courage and organization
that has been a great surprise to
many. It has shown, more than ever
before, how unreasonable, without
Justice, cruel and brutal the military
rule of Japan is in this land. I
could hardly believe these things if
I had not seen them with my own
eyes."

| Says Commercial
Aviation Lies Six
Miles Above Earth
| Atlantic City, N. J., May 26.
j Addressing a session of the Pan
| American Aeronautical convention,
I Samuel D. Alott declared that the
j future of the commercial aviation is
I six miles above the earth's surface.
II The aviator, he said, must get above
1 ! the storm limit.
i "The problem," said Mr. Mott, "is
' evidently one of equipment of our
■ planes to function in rarified aid and
protection of navigators against its
tenuity; llltewie protection of their
| body warmth and comfort in ex
' tremes of temperature. How high
we may go no one may know until
tested. Personally, I believe it pos
-1 sible to go 15 or 20 miles aloft, if
necessary. It is obviously a matter
1 of equipment plus climbing ability
| of aircraft designed for the purpos.e."

Against Army Worm
Washington. May 26.—N0 new ap
pearance of the army worm has been
reported to the United States De
partment of Agriculture, and with
the strenuous efforts being put forth
in Texas to "prevent its spread, there
Is hope that it may be confined to
the vicinity of Dallas and Fort
Worth, where the past has mani
fested itself this year and has
caused considerable damage to
wheat nnd oats.
Farmers in all states east of the
Rocky Mountains, however, are
being urged by the department to
remain on the watch for the insect
nnd to report its discovery immedi
ately to State or Federal agricultural
officials. '
The army worm Is simply a cut
worm that has developed migratory
habits, explains Dr. 1* O. Howard,
