Colonel Roosevelt
Sharply Criticises
Presidents Appeal

Oyster Bay, Oct. 25.-Comment-
ing tonight on President Wilson's
appeal to the people to return a
democratic congress in the No
vember elections if they approve
of his course, Col. Theodore
Roosevelt said:
1.-THE presidents statement is an
announcement that he is a par
tisan leader, first and president Of
all the people second.
1T is of course the reputation
of one of his former statements to
the effect that politics was ad-
journed-a statement which, of
course, he has already repudiated
by his action.
81 have no comment just at this
moment, but I will deal with the
matter in a speech after I have
had time to read the document
which all good Americans will re-
gard as the most lamentable ap-
peal to politics ever made by
president during a great war
which has been heartily sup
ported by all good citizens
without regard to party, but which,
so far as there have been party
differences at all, has been more
heartily supported by his political
opponents than by his political
friends"

Dougall had denied that he was in

protested that Falconer had reasons
for wanting McDougall retained

Ringer proposed that Falconer be

MANY RUSSIANS
PUT TO DEATH
WITHOUT TRIAL
BoIshevik Red Terror Exceeds
Horrors of French Revolu-
ton or Barbarities of
Middle Ages.

Stockholm, Oct. 25.-(By Asso.
ciated Press. )-Executions are the
most merciful part of the red terror
practiced in Moscow and Petrograd
according to several neutral observ-
ers who have just arrived in
Sweden.
While thousands, perhaps, have
been executed, the list of victims is
far less appalling than the ruthless
manner in which political prisoners
have been sent to death without a
semblance of legal trial, the heart
lessness with which they were
treated and utter indifference of the
bolshevik officials to appeals of
heartbroken relatives, who are not
allowed to learn what has become of
loved ones.
Verified stories of scenes at Mos
COW and Petrograd prisons eclipse
descriptions of the barbarism of the
middle ages and make the cruelty
of the French revolution seem al
most humane. Women prison off,
Gals, and many of them are women,
are even more heartess than men,
and trample under foot all tn better
instincts expected of their sex.
In Petrograd Madame Jakoleva
has been placed at the head of the
commission for suppression Of coun-
ter revolution, and it is greatly to
her credit that the terror has abated
somewhat under her administration.
But the women in subordinate po-
sitions with the counter revolution
airy commissions in the prisons,
many of them typical short-haired,
leather-ja cketed women, who are so
numerous in the ranks of the reds,
are utterly devoid of humanity to
men, women and even children
charged with counter revolutionary
activities. These prisoners are herd
ed into various jails, frequently
without any c barge being made, and
shufled about from prison to prison
in such helter- SHELTER manner that
no complete records are possible.
An old Russian officer searched
the jails in Moscow for many
weeks trying to find his two sons
who had been arrested. He was told
repeatedly by women clerks who
ran through the books indifferently
that the lists were incomplete
Finally he applied to a woman who
looked at her books contemptuous-
ly, announced brusquely, Both
shot" and resumed her tea drinking
and cigaret smoking.
Distracted mothers, wives, sisters
and daughters are turned away daily
from various inquiry bureaus with
out any effort being made to relieve
their anxiety.
Almost without exception the wo-
men officials were more heartless
than the men. Women entrusted
with the task of ejecting women
and children from the better class
apartments and houses and with
taking clothingrfrom formerly we'll
to-do families are harsher in their
methods in many cases than their
male associates
The persecution of families of Of
lcers supposed to be associated with
he Czecho-Slovak movement is es-
oeclally cruel. Persecution has been
nit upon as more effective in break
ng down the anti-bolshevik move
rent than wholesale executions.
Peters, head of the Moscow coun-
er revolutionary commission, and
20 many of the prison officials and
EXECUTION squads are Let's that the
ceiling among the Russians against
he Let's is growing more bitter
very day.

TMEATERS
AT AUDITORIUM.

Baby Marie Osborne. that re-
markable little player is appearing
at the Auditorium today in her
newest and best production entitled
The Little Patriot"
The story by John Grey is full or
human interest and delightful little
touches. and yet ii is not without
its decided thrills. Ernest. the lit
tie colored boy, hardly out Of the
"pickaninny" stage. does such ex-
cellent work that in a number Of
scenes he shares the honors with
the one and only baby.
In its mixture Of humOr and
pathos. in its charming insight into
child nature "A Little Patriot" is
certain to appeal TO every kind of
audience" says Manager Hines.
A Little Patriot as its name i'm
plies, is based upon the theme of
loyalty TO the country loyalty
that means quite as much TO the
children as 10 the grown-ups. Baby
Osborne plays the part of a child
whose father answers his country's
call and enlists. She is filed with
the spirit of duty to the Flag and
forms a little army of her play
mates, who, equipped with wooden
guns and impromptu uniforms, pro-
coed to drill and 90 through all the
