BY Arthur S. Draper
, =, Especial Cable to The Tribune

LONDON, Sept. 1o.-All accounts
agree that Russia is in the midst of
a reign Of terror and that the Boil
shevlkl are stopping at nothing to
MAINTAIN their hold. More than 500
counter revolutionists have been killed
and thousands imprisoned on the
charge that they were involved in a
plot to overthrow the Lcnine- -TrotzIv
regime. Many hostages have been
taken and the Bolshevsts declare thew
VIII be killed should new attacks by
their leaders take place.
Inc Allied nations, especially the
british, are in a decidedly embarrass-
ing, If not dangerous. position Tchit-
cherin's statement Offering to exchange
diplomats with the Allies is considered
nero as q piece of arrogance and com
pietc failure on The part of the Bol
sheVlk foreign commissary to appreci-
ate the feelings of the British over the
murder OF Captain Cromic.
In every way the Germans are try
ing to encourage the Bolshevists and
enragc them against the Allies. The
German propagandists are busy every
where, while material assistance is be-
ing given in many places.

ARCHANGEL, Sept. S tDelayed) -
Nany OF the Bolsheviki engaged
norant as to the identity of the forces
they are fighting. an American official
who has returned from the Boshevik
front with prisoners informed the cor
respondent to-day. Some of the capt
ured Bolsheviki declared their com
manders claimed that the soldiers
dressed in the uniforms of the Allied
Powers were only Russian White
Guards masquerading. Another pris-
oner thought he was fighting against
the Germans
At one place the Bolsheviki sent a
force of mere boys, fourteen to fifteen
years old, TO the front under threat OF
death unless they fought against the

istrant in civil life. should seek cxemr-
tion of the declarant. He ARGUED
against what he termed 'mistaker
oh'valry" that might be practsed by
some registrants who decline to claim
deferment when legitimatcly entitled
to it.
"The boards will do all they possibly
can on their own initiative to reach n
lust decision. even where no claim is
expressly made General Crowder said
but the boards will welcome and will
need all the aid that can be furnished
by the indication Of a claim made for
determent. With this aid the process
VIII become a simple and speedy one.
Time and labor viii not be wasted on
needless search. and ample time will
be gained for thorough attention to
those cases explicitly raising a qucs-
ton of occupational defcrments
"Ordinarily the registrant himself
Will indicate the claim on his oues-
tionnaire. But il. through mistaken
chivalry, he should fail to do so. an
other may make it for him. In indus
try, agriculture or other occupations
this other person will naturally be his
employer or some other representative
OF his associated group"
Outlining the reason for employers
General Crowder said:
Inc employer, or other third per-
son, in such cases. should make the
claim. as in this situation he repre-
sents the nation, because (in the stat
utory phrase) 'the maintenance of the
military establishment or of national
interest during the emergency re.
quires that some we'll advised third
person should look after that national
interest, which the registrant himself
may not have sufficiently considered.
II wish to urge employers (and other
representatives. that they charge
hitherto with this responsibility.
have referred to such third persons as
well advised and this is the place to
emphasize to employers the importance
OF making themselves we'll advised for
the execution of this duty
"How many employers having charge
o. some industrial or other occupa-
tional group have hitherto taken pains
to inform themselves Systematically
which of their employees arc registrants
and which are not?
"How many have studied carefully
the required conditions for occupa-
Presidents regulations pursuant to the
statute?
"How many have made 1t point to
survey their entire plant so as to single
out 1he really indispensable indivdu-
ais?
with the oncoming Of a more extern
Ssive registration an even larger out
look is necessary The general indus
trial conditions, the supply Of skilled
men in the industry at large, the pos
slpilities of training substitutes, tn
availability of women workers-these
arc some Of the considerations which
bear directly on the need of occupa-
tonal deferment as related to the
need OF the army
General Crowder to-day asked that
all employers of labor in the United
States allow their men sufficient time
of Thursday to complete their regis
tration.
"While the registration booths will
be open everywhere from a. IN. to 8
p. m.." he said. "it is desirable rot to
have the bulk Of the work of the regis
trars crowded into the closing hours
