Russian embassy today that the Pan- Russian conference at Oufa, European Russia, which has been recognized by all the provisional governments ,op- posing the Rolsheviki, including the Siberian government, has constituted committee of five as the lawful au thority for all Russia. This commit tee will be responsible to the consti tuent assembly of all Russia which will convene next January 1, provided 250 members attend.
 The committee of five is composed of M Tschaicovsky. of the. govern ment of the north at Archangel; M. VolOgodsky, head of the western Si- berian government; M Astor, former mayor of Moscow and member of the constitutional democratic party; Lieu tenant General BOldireff. one of the foremost experts of Russia and H. Avksentieff.
 A dispatch to the Russian embassy today from M Golovatcheff, assistant minister of foreign affairs of the Omsk government, said an army of more than 200,0 men had been form ed in Siberia by conscription and that there were 3O,000 officers available there to train and lead it. The army, it was said, will constitute an in creasingly powerful force to cooper ate with the allied and CZechO-Slovak forces in Siberia.
 With the safe arrival of Consul Gen eral Poole at Stockholm from Moscow, additional confirmation concerning the conditions in central Russia have reached the state department. The massacre of Russian citizens in Mos COW was continuing September g, with about 150 executions nightly. More than 1000 persons had, been shot in re taliation for the attempt to kill Lenin the Bolsheviki premier
 Information also has reached the state department that on September 15 the most violent elements of the Bolshevik were in control in Petro- grad and were carrying out -cold bloOded terror It was reported that 1,70O persons mostly former officers, were being held as hostages for the lives of the Bolshevik commissars. The population was said to be utterly cowed
 On an order from Moscow, the ln- formation said, forty-six Englishmen were imprisoned early this month on pretense that they had to do with the killing of Uritsky, head of the soviet committee for the suppression of the counter revolution. There also were twenty odd French citizens in the same prison.
 It is stated that prison conditians for Russians and allied citizens could not be worse. The, prisoners. are crowded in groups of fifteen to twen- ty in small damp cells.
 Forty four Czecho-Slovaks were cap tured while endeavoring to make their way to the allied armies in the north. About the fifteenth of September these were discovered in an out-of-the-way prison. They were starving to death. Twenty-nine still are in prison in serious condition, while fifteen were removed to a hospital in a dying con. dition.
 Relief work for the prisoners has been organized in the name of the in ternational Red Cross, chiefly on the initiative of the American Red Cross

FRENc HTAKE eRouNp

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY ON THE AHCMPAGNE FRONT, Sept. 20 (By the Associated Press) p. m- Troops of the French army, Operat- ing in conjunction with the Ameri cans in new battle along the Cham pagne front, have today conquered pO- sitions that the Germans have been fortifying for four years, positions that they have sacrificed thousands of men to hold. The French losses have been remarkably light, in spite of the fact that the German resistance stiffened this afternoon.
 General GOuroud's soldiers, who ad vanced to these positions three years ago and have been facing them ever since. are now enjoying a peculiar satisfaction in being in them.
 In the battle of Champagne in 1915, the taking of these positions would have demanded a sacrifice that the strategic advantage gained then did not warrant. The situation is changed now. Successive blows administered to the Germans on different parts of the front gave a different meaning to the attack.
 The number of prisoners taken by the French is increasing steadily. They are filing back by all roads in groups of from a score to several hundred Among them there is a larg- CT proportion of very young men than heretofore taken. Some of the cap tives are recruits of the 1920 con- tingent.
 They are leaving behind them scores of burning villages. Thirty have been observed in flames up to noon today. Even this additional and unjustifiable devastation can scarcely add to the desolation that has been spread all over this sharply disputed ground.
 The ridges are covered thickly with shell holes that touch each other ev- erywhere; all yestiges of vegitation long ago disappeared, the surface Of the ground giving the impression that it must have been reduced to a state of mud violently churned and then left to dry. The ground is crossed and criss-crossed in every direction by trenches that have been blown out of shape.
 A feature of todays operations was the activity of the enemy airmen which furnished several spectacular encounters with French observation balloons and anti-aircraft artillery. While puffs from the French shrapnel were seen everywhere over the field.

miles north of ServOn, which already is in the hands of the French.
 The Americans through the capture of Gerocourt northwest of Verdun, are in the Mouse valley, which leads nOrthward to Sedan, and a little farth- CT west at Varennes, have won the AVre valley which winds in a north westerly direction to Vouziers. A sue cessful advance along these two val leys for an appreciabie distance would be disastrous to the German lines from the North sea to the Swiss frontier.
 Northwest of Verdm, Montfaucon, a German strong point of great re- sisting power is said to be in American hands, as likewise are several other villages between the Mouse and the Avre.
 Around St Quentin both the British and French armies have made furth- CT advances against the Germans and repulsed heavy counter attacks. In Flanders and also near Arras the Bri- tish have advanced their fronts.

 The Norwegian consul is protecting the American consulate but the atti- tude of Tchitcherin, the Bolshevik for eign minister, was so hostile to the neutral minister's efforts to check the wholesale executions that even Pre- mier Lenin's reported interference in the reign of terror is not regarded by Stockohlm diplomats as a guarantee of the saefty of foreigners.
