MURDER RAMPANT IN RUSSIA
BoIsheViki Killing off Foreigners and
SlaVs Without Trial, Says Asso-
ciated Press Correspondent.

Stockholm, Sept. 10.-Bolsheyiki
Russia is suffering the consequences
of class hatred in it's most violent ex-
preston. Human life has lost all value
and foreigners and Russians alike are
at the mercy of officials who kill with
out trial.
Such were the conditions, at any
rate, when the Associated Press cor
respondent at Moscow left Russia re-
Gently and travelled hence with the
party of American refugees that has
arrived here.
Since War Minister Trotzky pro-
voked Czecho-Slovak opposition by
breaking his pledge to permit the
Czecho-SIovaks to leave Russia in
peace, the class hatred on which Boil
shevikism is based has revealed itself
in its full horror. Before the social
revolutionists broke with the Bolshe-
Wiki, they acted as a check on capital
punishment Threatened by the vic
torious Czechs on the Volga, the En-
tente movements from ArchangeI and
Siberia and general internal uprisings,
the BolsheVik leaders are madIy prod
ding their suspected opponents and
filling the prisons with hostages.

such progress by the Allies toward

forward to stop the gaps through
which the British, French and Amer
lean armies were threatening to filter
and wreck his entire military situa-
ton.
During the eight weeks that have
passed, the Allied troops have cleared
almost in its entirety the enemy-held
territory from the Marine to the Aisne
in the great triangle which had Cha
teau Thierry at its apex and scissors
and Reims, respectively. it's western
and eastern anchor points.
Allies on Hindenbarg Line.
From scissors to Arras the old
bulge westward to Montdidier and to-
ward the doorstep of Amiens has all
but been obliterated and the Allies
now are standing across a large por-
ton OF the old Hindenburg defense
line and virtually are upon the re-
mainder of it, while to the north in
Flanders the deep salients which
threatened the English channel ports
have been bent eastward and the
enemy is expelled from the vantage
points from which he had expected III
timateIy to make his drive in an en-
deavor to gain the seaboard and thus
cause a diversion of the transport
service from England to southern
France.

NEW RULES For DRAFT ISSUED
Change in Classification Plan contem
plates Industrial Advisory Board
Will Scrutinize All Claims.

Washington, Sept. 10.-The process
OF determining which men in the new
draft shall serve their country in the
army and which shall be retained in
essential industries and occupations
was announced today by Provost Mar
shall General Crowder.
To all draft boards were sent the
regulations governing the granting Of
deferred classification on OccupatiOnal
grounds and an explanation OF regula-
lions to be inserted in the question
naires which will be filled out by men
subject to the new draft after the
registration next Thursday.
In the granting of deferred classifi-
cation on occupational grounds each
district board will be advised by three
officials, one named by the Depart
ment Of Labor, one by the Department
of Agriculture, and the third by the
district draft board itself
With the guidance OF these advisers,
possessing expert knowledge of indus
trial and agricultural conditions, the
district boards viii determine whether
claims for deferred classification on
OccupationaI grounds are justified and
whether men who have waived exemp-
ton shall nevertheless be retained in
essential industry as of greater value
to the Nation in such employment
than in the army.
General Crowder made 1t plain in a
statement setting forth the principles
governing industrial classification
that the preference list announced by
Chairman Baruch of the War Indus
tries Board yesterday, which Mr.. Bar
UGH described as the master key" in
settling the question of giving deferred
classification to men in industries, will
not be permitted to limit the action Of
district boards.
"Such lists" General Crowder said,
shall not be regarded as binding upon
the district board in its conclusions
as to whether or not any particular
industry, occupation or employment,
including agriculture, is a necessary
industry, occupation or employment
within the meaning Of the law and
regulations, nor shall such lists pre-
vent the district board from holding
as necessary any industry, occupation,
or employment, including agriculture,
not contained there"

ALL OVER KANSAS
Happenings of More or Less
Interest Gathered From
Many Sources.
STATE NEEDS MANY TEACHERS
Present Alarming Shortage Expected
to Be Increased When New Draft
Goes Into Effect.

With the opening OF the public
schools Of the state at hand for the
winter term there is a marked short
age Of school teachers, especially in
structors in the high school subjects
OF manual training, sciences and eco
nomics. according to W. D. Ross, state
superintendent.
"a number of high school positions
remain untitled, and the prospect is
that they will remain so unless an in
creased available supply of instructors
capable Of teaching these high school
branches is heard from soon," said Su-
perintendent Ross. Furthermore,
there is an immediate prospect that
the ranks of the school teachers will
be further depleted by the pending
draft. 1t probably will take a number
of heads of schools, such as princi-
pals and superintendent, and we are
particularly short on that class Of edu-
Gators just now"
Superintendent Ross says he has
not learned Of any shortage in the
grades and rural schools with the eX-
ception that some of the larger cities
are in need of grade teachers. But
the rural supply is sufficient at pres
emit. Mr.. Ross says most school boards
have raised teachers wages, but, he
says, not sufficiently to compete with
the opportunities women find in other
lines of employment. The rural school
district boards, however, he says, in
many instances, have raised the pay
Of teachers much more in proportion
than have the city school boards.
Every few high schools throughout
the state retain German on their
course of study said Superintendent
Ross.
