on President Wilson's ad-

man Representatives at the paei-
fist congress held at Berne last
November, writes in the "Neue

Every unprejudiced leader
must admit that President Will
sons new message can become .
way toward peace. But for that
it will be necessary that the Ger
man people disengage itself from
the fixed idea that America
entered the war only for selfish
and material interests.
"The truth II that President
Wilson in declaring war on Ger
many followed the pressure Of
the overwhelming majority Of
the American people and that

for Europe goes in the firm con-
viction that he is. to fight for
the threatened freedom and jus

ODESSA, Jan. IL fdelayed) Accord
ing to details which have been obtained
here. the horrors perpetrated at Kron-
stadt in the early days Of the revolution
were surpassed by those at Sebastopol,
where for two days naval ohicers at
tached to tho feet were butchered by
sailors Of the Bolshevid camp. Sixty
officers are reported murdered. the list
including the names OF four Admirals
and ono General, tho others being Lieu
tenants or Of lower rank.
Most Of those killed were members of
q committee which held an inquiry in
1913. under the regime Of the Gear. into
the rebellion Of sailors Of the ''revolu-
tionary union." sentencing seventeen of
them to execution. many to exile or
arrest. Although the affair was hushed
up at the time. this charge was brought
against them when the Bolsheviki came
into power and they were held to merit
death.
Most Of tho murdered officers OF
HIGHER rank were experienced warriors
in whom the feet had expressed con-
fidence since the revolution and they
we'll merited such confidence. All the
officers Of ono Of the ships were taken
to the famous historical tower Of
NalssioR and shot. According to re-
ports, which are widely believed here.
the number OF ofhcers murdered was
considerably greater than sixty.
