STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM

LONDON. June 16. - The condi tions under which representatives of the British Independent Labor par ty are to be allowed to visit Pet rograd were exhibited in the House oi Commons by Lord Cecil, who stated that the war cabinet had decided that it was desirable to issue pass ports to Messrs Ramsay Macdonald and Mowatt to go to Petrograd if they applied for them, but the Rus sian government had strongly ex pressed a desire that representa- tives of the minority as well as the majority of working class opinion should be allowed to visit Petrograd and expressly mentioned the Inde- pendent Labor Party as one of the bodies which they desired to have that opportunity.
 The war cabinet were advised, he said, by those qualified to express an opinion. including Messrs. Blu channan and Henderson that refusal would lead to very serious concep- tion among our Russian Allies and cause great Encouragement to those in Russia most anxious to carry on the struggle for freedom with the fullest energy.
 If passports were issued they would be issued for Petrograd. They were not intended to enable the holders to participate in any interna- tional conference in Stockholm and still less to communicate directly or indirectly with enemy subjects in Stockholm or elsewhere; and it was only on this understanding that the passports for Petrograd would also be issued said Lord Cecil, to repre- sentatives of the views of the great majority of the working classes if asked for

AMERICAN LOSES HIS LIFE TO
 ENEMY
Generosity of a Yankee Soldier Makes Him a Victim of German
 Treachery.
IS SHOT IN THE BACK

PARIS, June 16. - Generosity to- ward the enemy cost the life of James Paul of St. Louis, Mo, mem Der of the famous foreign legion Paul was known as lighting Jimmy" and he never failed to live up to the name To be called one of the bray est men in the legion is a great hon or and that was an honor held by Fighting Jimmy"
 Twenty-four hours before one of the general attacks by the French in their present offensive in Cham pagne, Paul was sent out with a body of picked men to worry" the Germans first line with bombs.
 First Over Parapet
 Paul was the first man over the parapet and got safely through along with a number of other Americans. After trying in vain to keep off the attackers with machine guns, the outs Paul, who was in advance, threw dozen grenades into a dug out and called upon the skulkers to come out.
 Only one German appeared. He threw up his arms, shouting "com- rade," assuring Paul that the rest of the men were dead. Without talk ing the trouble to search the man for hidden weapons. Paul turned to another dugout The minute his back was turned the German drew an automatic pistol and fired.
 Killed With 5ayonet
 Paul fell backwards just as his fel- low legion members followed The German fell with bayonet wounds in his body. Two of PauPs best friends, Arthur Berry of Boston and Chris topher Charles of Brooklyn, knelt be- side him. Paul lay on his back and there was smile on his face.
 The bullet had pierced the heart and death must have been instan- taneous.
 After that any German showing fight was ruthlessly bayoneted. Those who surrendered were spared, al though their trip from the front to the rear was far from pleasant.
 Decorated For Bravery
 After the position had been thor oughly cleared out the legion mem bers retired bearing with them the body of Paul. Every man who could attend the simple service did so. Even wounded men hobbled out to the cemetery
 Paul had been decorated for bray cry at the battle of Belloy- -En-S San terre, on the Somme, in July, 1916 At that time single handed, he held a sector of a trench after his seven had been killed.
