Brooklyn-Several Events
Well Under Way.

"Dear Father: have been having n
week OF rest. but II would have been dull
and unhappy except for the smokes my
company received from THE SUN To-
bacco Fund"
This is extracted from a letter re-
Gently received by the father OF fght-
ing American, through whom II came to
the attention of the fund. The father
frankly said that he had studiously
avoided giving any money to the fund
in the first place. he did not use tobacco
himself and had brought up his son to
avoid It. and, second. he thought there
were too many necessary things to send
the soldiers in France to pay out money
for trines
"Now." he said. my opinion has been
completely reversed. know from the
testimony Of my own boy that tobacco
70 necessary for the soldier, and when
he wrote me that he would not have en-
joyed the rest after heavy fighting ex-
cept for the smoke funds gift, I feel
grateful to the fund. 1t can always
count on me for remittance and for as
much as can afford"
This father Is not the only one. Be-
ginning with last Christmas, when in
the soldiers mail were phrases like this
one: I'VE would not have known II was
Christmas had It not been for the pres
ent OF tobacco and cigarettes received
from THE SUM- good many fathers
were converted into believing In the fund
and supporting 1t.
II there are unbelievers the reason is
that they have no male relatives to
write them about the good work Of THE
Sun Tobacco Fund, which has saved
them from dull and unhappy days" Or
they have not read a card received from
France, mailed there on September 16.
which reads:
Tobacco received and greatly appre-
clated by men on the line. 1t Is wonder
full how the smokes sent over by THE
Sun cheer men who are worn out or feel
dspiritsd for any reason. The good
this paper has done cannot be underesti-
mated" Signed F. H, Company 110,

Reign Of Terror Continues
In Many Russian Giles


STOCKHOLM. Wednesday. Oct. %:
Executions of the most merciful
part of the Red Terror are pracuced
in Moscow and P~etrograd. according
to several neutral observers who nave
just arrived in Sweden. These men
have watched Bosheyik activities in
the two great Russian cities for many
weeks. They have no personal inter-
est involved and no personal friend
affected by the reign OF slaughter and
torture which is probably unparalleled
ed In the worlds history.
While thousands. perhaps have
been executed, the list of victims is
far less appalling han the truthless
manner in which political prisoners
have been sent to death without a
.semblance of legal trial. the heart
l~essness with which they were treated
and the utter indifference Of the Boil
sbevik officials to appeals of heart
broker relatives who have been kept
In suspense and not allowed to learn
what has become Of owed ones.
