England Had to Back Down.

The foreign correspondents here are
taking a somewhat malicious delight in
tho victory the Journalistic profession has
recently won. The English war office did
its best to silence all news from the front
at the beginning of the war. 1t was be-
cause of its representations that both
France and Russia for a time refused to
admit correspondents to any privileges
Now the war Offices hand has been forced

Jews ARE VICTIMS
| OF RUSSIAN TROOPS
Suffer More Than Normal
Amount of Hardship in
LODI and Piotrokow.
SOME ARE HANGED
AND OTHERS SHOT
Nothing Done Without Previous
Denunciation," One Tells
Correspondent.
Of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Pres.
LODI. Russian Poland, September 10.
The Jews of Russian Poland, now in
the hands of the Austrians and Ger
mans, appear to have suffered, prior to
the Russian retirement, more than the
normal amount of hardship imposed by
war. An investigation by a corre-
spondent of the Associated Press dis
closes that there was rather promis-
cuous execution by the Russians of
Jews accused of espionage: that many
persons were subjected to physical as
saults of greater or less violence, COM
mitted with knouts or fats of swords,
and that in many places. chiefly out-of-
the-way villages and rural districts.
there was some plundering of Jewish
shops and houses by the Russian SOL
diery.
The correspondent visited the two
chief cities of this district, LODI and
Piotrokow. His proposal to visit other
cities-Kielce and Radon were named
met by the statement
of Jews consulted that nothing much
happened in the cities" and that the
proposed trip would not be worth
while. He questioned some Jews from
the districts around Lodz and Piotro-
koW, but was not able TO Visit the
small villages and the rural districts
generally, where the Jews allege most
of the massacres, plunderings, viola
tions, etc. occurred. The outstanding
feature. however. of every case inves-
tigated was that. in the words of one
Jewish scholar, nothing happened to
the Jews without a previous denuncia-
ton" In some instances this feature
of the case was Immediately admitted:
in others it was brought to light by
further inquiry.
A typical case OF the latter sort was
that of q Jew named kozlowski, !
storekeeper ut MalinitZ, a village near
Piotrokow. The story first told to the
Associated Press representative was
this: When the Russians came to Nal
initz in November. they were angry be-
cause it had come to their ears that
some Jew of the village had boosted
that the Germans would make short
work of the Russians. The Russians
lined up all the male Inhabitants of the
town and threatened to shoot or hang
them unless the man responsible for
the words complained Of was delivered
up. Thereupon kozlowski stepped for
ward, assumed responsibility for tie
words In question ana was hanged.

Story Of Father and Son.

The correspondent finally succeeded
In having talk with Kozlowskis
son and his father, both of whom wit
messed the affair. When the Russians
first entered the village they asked
for Kozlowski. He had been hidden
by a friend. but was eventually found.
He managed, however. to escape from
the soldiers guarding him, and the
commander of the Russian regiment
tbereupon had all male Jews drawn up
in a line and announced that all would
he killed unless Kozlowskt was de-
ivered no. KoZlowski, informed of the
threat. presented himself. He was
taken away by d squad of soldiers and
"But how did the Russians know
there was Kozlowski in town and
why did they want him?" asked the
correspondent.
"a rival In business had sent word
to the Russians that KoZlowsk1 was a
spy and that he was storing up goods
for the Germans" was the answer.
Accounting as true the above story
NJ the manner of the execution, as it
was told by the father and son of the
victim. il was marked by a specific
cruelty which frequently marked exc
cutious during the Russian raid into
Easr Prussia last October. The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent at that time
Snund many Instances in which the
victims were stood against walls and,
instead Of being killed by volley fire,
as il usual in such executions, were
killed by soldiers firing at will. Koz-
inwski appears to have been executed
in the same manner, after having been

There Is a good deal Of bunk in this

Boy are the best horses. John Evans

United States. He declared that 1--WE
must all pool our interests" in order
to discover the best means of handling
public problems.
The creation in the United States in
time of peace of the same kind of
united spirit which moves nations
during wars was advocated by the
president. who remarked that when
peace is as handsome as war, there
will be no wars" and when men en-
gage in the pursuits of peace in the
same spirit of self sacrifice as they
engage in wars, wars will disappear y
The president predicted that while
there is shortage of food in the world
now, the shortage will be much great
er later. He pointed out that under
the guidance of the department OF
agriculture efforts must be made by
farmers in the United States to grow
more and more grain in order that the
world may be fed.
Speaking of the foreign trade of the
United States the president asked thai

cured by Cashier S. e. Turner. who
absconded from Chautauqua Springs
last week after completely wrecking
the Citizens State bank there.
According to information brought to
Independence by local resident who
spent Tuesday in the vicinity of Chau-
tauqua and who met q Kansas City
victim of the ruined bank, Cashier
Turner pulled off a regular Grant Gil
lette affair, making a cleanup of $117.-
900 with losses distributed among the
depositors of the bank and at least
three outside investment brokers.
The bank was capitalized at $4,000
and carried upwards of $4,000 in de-
posts. When the vault was searched
after Turner had skipped, less than
$500 was found. Since then it has
developed that one brokerage firm
600 and another $4,000 on worthless
securities, principally forged mort
cages on lands cattle and mules
No trace Of Cashier Turner has been
secured since he left ChautauQua one
week ago, saying that he was going to
Caney on business.
Turner's grandfather, ]. M. Van
Deventer. principal stockholder in the
bank, declares his signature to many
documents to be a forgery
Chautauqua was once a prominent
spot on the Kansas oil map and is
said to be coming to the front again.
1t is small village situated six miles
south of Sedan and about forty miles
southwest of Independence.
The state bank commissioner said this
morning that the bank had been takex
over by the bank examiners but that nj
definite report had been made other thar
that forgeries had been committed ani
that Turner's whereabouts was unknown
He said the deposits of the bank were
$6O, 900. Also he said that the amount
Turner got away with was not as much
as $4,000.
