"Outside World Can Have
No Conception of It, !"
Says Dispatch
THOUSANDS BEING
SHOT WITHOUT TRIAL
Bolsheviki G O n due n 6
Wholesale Slaughter to
Retain Power
(By Associated Press

Washington, Sept. 1S.-Informa-
ton reaching the state department
today from a neutral country threw
new light on the situation in central
Russia, where a reign of terror con-
Quoted by the BoIsheviki has made
the position of the populace tragic
in the etreme and endangered CIT
liens of the entente powers who have
been unable to leave the country.
Declaring that the outside world
cannot have a true conception OF the
actual conditions, the dispatches
said that since May the Bolsheviki
commission against the counter rev.
olution has conducted a campaign OF
wholesale murder. Thousands of
persons have been shot without even
form Of a trial, it was said, and
many OF them probably were innocent
of the political views for which they
were executed.
The assassination of Moses Urltz-
ky head of the commission against
the counter revolution, and the at
tempt on the life Of Premier Lenine
We're direct results OF this condition
Of the tyranny said the adyiees.
Besides the 800 persons who were
shot in connection with the death Of
OFltZhy, large Hu41DSI OIL oIHpA
persons are held for execution in the
event that further attempts are
made on the lives OF the Belshevih
leaders.
A general search is being made
Of the homes in Moscow Of the we'll
to do and of former officers, in an
effort to secure any shred of evil
dence upon which to make arrests,
said the dispatches. The prisons are
filled to overflowing and executions
continue daily. In many cases, it
was said, sentences are passed upon
the slight grounds that the accused
might be dangerous to Bolshevikt
power.
In addition, irresponsible gangs are
venting on innocent persons their
desperation over the daily declining
power of the Bolsheviki. while the
socialists, who are opposing the So
Wet government, have adopted the
same methods that they once used
against the tyranny Of the imperial
government.
All newspapers in Moscow except
the Bolsheviki organs have been
since July i. the dis
patches added, and in these are to
be published names of persons exc
cuted or held prisoners in connec-
ton with the killing OF UTftzky.

Soldiers Killed
In Collision at
Springfield, Mo.
CBy Associated Press.l

Springfield. Mo-, Sept. 17.--Wreck-
ing crews of the st. Louis and San
francisco railroad were working
early today to recover additional
bodies Of soldiers killed last night
when a troop train and IL freight
met in a head ION collision near
Marshfeld, Mo-, 90 miles northeast
Of here.
Eleven bodies are in undertaking
establishments at Marshfield, and it
was believed at least five and per-
haps a dozen were still in the wreck
age. Fifty Of the more seriously
injured men were in Springfield hos
pitfalls, having been brought here in
a relief train.
No names of victims were given
out. 1t was stated, however that
most Of the soldiers in the forward
coach which was wrecked, were
from Colorado and Minnesota with
a few from Missouri. In the second
coach were. troops from Illinois.
Iowa, Nebraska and West Virginia.
Confusion of orders and the fail
ure OF a freight train to receive nee
essary orders, it was said at the
general offices of the st. Louis and
San francisco railway, this morning,
was believed to have been the
cause of the wreck.

americans In
London Joyous

London, Sept, 17.-American res
idents of London celebrated the AM
erican victory in hotels and public
places last night singing "The Star
Spangled Banner" and other airs.
Londoners generally informed by
special editions of the continued sat
tsfactory progress of the American
attack and the Austrian peace Of
fer, experienced an unusually sem
sational Sunday and displayed ex-
huberance and hopefulness that was
OF the summer months. 1t was felt
that with the American army fight
ing under the gums OF the fortress
of Metz and with Austria making
what appears to- be an official bid
for peace, things at last were really
moving in the desired direction.
Austrias note is in the hands of
the government. together with infor-
nation that Germans has made a
direct offer of peace to Belgium on
the basis of restored political and
economic independence and on con-
dition Of Belgian neutrality until the
end of the war. No allusion to repair
alton or indemnity for the wrongs
inflicted on Belgium is said to have
been made by Germany
1t lis needless to say that these
peace feelers make little impression
on either the government or the
people here.
They are pointed out, however, as
8 revelation OF speedy enemy appre-
citation Of the meaning of American
military participation in the war.
The view is held in political circles
that Germany realizes she will soon
be compelled to withdraw from Rel
gium and If she could secure al
treaty barring Belgian territory To
allied troops and aircraft she would
be thereby protecting Germany
against hostile attacks.

In First Glass

North Dakota has approximately
S,077 men available for military serv-
ice in the classes of June, 1917, and
June, 1918, according to the call made
for 500 men, to entrain for Camp
Grant. Ill, on October 8, and which
is estimated to be 26 per cent of all
the available men remaining in these
two classes. A call for 1877 men, to
entrain September 26 for Camp Gus
ter, Mich, was made yesterday and
when the Camp Grant contingent
goes in October there will remain
available for full military service,
only also out of the total Of more
than 10000 who registered June 5,
1917, and in June and August OF this
year. This will, in all probability,
mean early action on the class / men
drawn from the $1,000 men who reg
