TORTURED HELPLESS
Correspondent Reaches Point
Where He Can Telegraph
the Facts.

| GrodnO. Russia, June 20.-Owing 10
the refusal of the censor at Bialystok
to permit free telegraphing of the re-
suit of the investigation by the Asso-
ciated Press of the massacre OF Jews
| there its correspondent came here.
The anti-Jewish crusade at Bialystok
is now ended Troops are in full con.
troll and in view of the outcry raised
it is certain the authorities will not per-
nit a renewal of the horrors recently
Witnessed at Bialystok.
Region Excited.
This entire region is greatly excited
owing TO fear that the Bialystok mas
sacre was only a signal for a general
attack on the Jews throughout Poland,
but if any such conspiracy existed it
is too late to carry out plans. as most
imperative orders TO prevent further
outbreaks were both issued TO the gov
ernors and governor generals from st.
Petersburg.
Deeds Past Description.
The tales of atrocities committed are
innumerable and while some of them
may be exaggerated. enough have been
established TO make almost anything
credible. The mob seemed to delight
in torturing the victims. Strips OF
flesh were cut from their bodies, chill
dren We're snatched from their moth
ers' arms and taken by the legs and
Drained on the pavement before the
eyes of their parents.
Garry Head ON Pole.
An old jew was beheaded and the
ehastIy trophy carried all day at the
end of a pike Though the streets. In
many cases the heads of victims were
beaten 10 jelly with stones. A rioter
seized 5-year-old girl by the throat
and held her at arms length until she
was strangled to death. Little chill
dren seemed to take pleasure in point
ing out the hiding places of the Jews.
Corpses Lay In streets.
Mutilated corpses swarming with
flies. were left lying about the streets
in some cases for days. A badly injur-
ed Jewess in a hospital, describing the
scenes. said:
Hell was within human beings and
they enacted the role of demons" Then
the woman suddenly went into convul-
sions at the memory of the horrors she
Witnessed.
Blame Soldiers.
st. Petersburg, June 20.-Blame for
the massacre of Jews at Bialystok was
placed officially upon the soldiers. The
commission sent 10 Bialystok by the
douma TO investigate the massacre
made a preliminary report declaring
that a majority of the dead were killed
with bayonets or rifle bullets, showing
that soldiers were their slayers. The
report that the Jews started the fight
ing by attacking Christians is denied.

Energy in Temperate Zone

THIS observation acquires a much enhanced
L interest and significance when It IS renem-
bered that practically all the South African
railway development, as we'll as that OF South
America. Australia. and India is actually Eng
lish railway development. If, therefore regard
be had to the center OF commercial and con-
structive life where have been found the requi-
site energy, foresight and capital, 1t will be
seen-that practically all OF the great railway
building Of the world has originated in temper
ate climates, and that tropical conditions have
nowhere had any sensible influence upon the
growth Of the worlds land transportation.
In new countries, eXempihed in a most
marked manner by the United States the
railway has largely been the pioneer, Or, to
put 1t somewhat differently, the pioneer has
largely followed the railway. Without the
anticipation OF prospective railway business to
stimulate railway building, 1t IS altogether
likely, III fact 1t Is practcally certain that the
country west OF the Mississippi River would be
to-day as little known and as little inhabited
as it was sixty or seventy years ago.
The construction OF the Cape to Cairo
railway is probably the most marked north
and south extension of railway building IN the
world. At the present time railroad cOnstruC-
ton on this line has reached point little less
than two thousand miles north from Cape
Town into the heart OF Africa. 1t IS expected
that very soon the northern limit OF It's con
struction viii be about three hundred and
seventy-five miles north OF Victoria Falls on
the Zanbesi River. On the other hand, little
if anv less than one thousand miles Of line IS
constructed nearly continuously from Cairo
southwark As the total length of this north
and south continental line may be approx
mately set at SIX thousand miles, II IS seen that
this great continental railway work IS half
completed.
The extension of railway traffic into and
through the heart OF Africa, where Livingstone
lost himself from the world for many years IN
his noble and self sacrificing work, IS not less
flos. he

railroad belt of the world which has practically
brought the civilized nations of the earth into
