war machine ever since the collapse

RUBIN'S CONFESSION
INDICATED THEORY OF
LOU HALLS FATHER

The father of Lou Hall has insisted
all the time that the murderer of
Eva Roy was some fugitive from
justice and not his son.
Three days after the crime was
committed he walked into Fairfax
from his hut several miles in the
country and openly made the state
ment that two men had recently es-
capped from the District reformatory
at Lorton. and in his opinion one OF
them MIST have committed the crime.
At that time no one paid any atten-
ton TO him, the authorities thinking
he was only trying TO direct atten-
ton TO some other than his son. Lou

put a halt to the carnival OF crime
now raging in Russia. And. it asked

apart from any, atmosphere OF belllg.

petrators OF these crimes the aversion

Murder And Anarchy.
The note is the direct result of re-
cent dependable information to the
State Department that the murder and
anarchy in Moscow. Petrograd. and
other cities dominated by the bolshe-
wiki are growing to the stage OF a
veritable orgy.
Secretary Lansing's note said:
This Government is in receipt Of
information from reliable sources re-
vealing that the peaceable Russian
citizens of Moscow. Petrograd. and
other cities are suffering from an
openly avowed campaign Of mass ter
rorism and are subject to wholesale
executions. Thousands OF persons
have been shot without even a form
of trial; ill-administered prisons are
filled beyond capacity. and every
night scores Of Russian citizens are
recklessly put to death: and irrespon-
sible bands are venting their brutal
passions in the daily massacre OF I'M
told innocents.
Friends of Russian People.
I'm view OF the earnest desire OF
the people OF the United States to be-
friend the Russian people and lend
them all possible assistance in their
struggle to reconstruct their nation
upon principles of democracy and
self-government, and acting there
fore solely in the interest OF the Rus
sian people themselves. this Govern
ment feels that IL cannot be silent or
refrain from expressing its horror al
this existing state OF terrorism. Fur
thermore. il believes that in order
to check the further in
crease of the indiscriminate slaughter
OF Russian citizens. all civilized ma
tions should register their abhor-
renee OF such barbarism.
You will inquire. therefore.
the government to which you
are accredited will be disposed to
take some immediate action. which
IS entirely divorced from the atmos-
phere of belligeTency and the conduct
Of war. to impress upon the perpe-
traitors OF these crimes the aversion
with which civilization regards their
present wanton acts"

When Lou Hall was indicted last
Monday, his father stood in the front

the court house to the Jail, and with
some resentment in his tone said:

have been done by some convict or
