Capt. Dubois Of French Mis-

OTHER TALKS AT Meeting

A most impressive warning to Ameri-
Of anything the "boches" may do no
matter how innocent it may appear
was given by Capt. Eugene Dubois OF
the <Q9th Regiment Of French infantry
at the weekly class in French held last
night at All Souls Unitarian Church
for the benefit of American men in uni
form who will some day be lover
there"
And to illustrate this warning. Capt
Dubois, who is attached to the French
mission Of Information and wears
the Croi1 dc Guerre, told the following
occurrence which he personally observed
during the first Verdun attack. A COM

brassards came into tho open bearing

overwhelmed with a hail of machine gun
bullets from the deep grave. The

in French, and their talks were en-
Enthusiastically received. Capt. Felix
Dessal Of the Gath Infantry. who for
two years was a captive at Stuttgart and
Heidelberg, gave a moving picture OF the
inhuman and barbarous treatment &C

An officer with money could get FROST

common soldiers had to depend on what

Capt Dessai's one regret. he said, Is

his comrades in arms.

Capt. Bon, chevalier Of the Legion of

of some of the remarkable exploits on

The Germans were not able to dis
prove Frances assertion, They shall

DR.. Frank Crane. a member Of

the Rotary Club at its last lupcll

Bolsheyiki Searching
Capital for Slayers
Of 2 Ex-Ministers

PETROGRAD, Monday, Jan. 21.--
Premier Leninc and Secretary of State
Bonch -Burevtch have ordered the Red
Guard and soldiers to comb the city
for "the motor car with Red Guards
and sailors who killed Shingarof and
Kokoshkine" The murder of the for
mer ministers has created feeling of
protest and revulsion among the Boil
shevik officials, who are anxious to
prevent the situation from getting be-
yond their control.
The Petrograd Council of Workmen's
and Soldiers Delegates has adopted a
resolution Of the most strict censure
of the murderers, declaring it never
could approve of summary justice, and
that no crimes had been committed by
those killed. The resolution urged all
soldiers to search for the murderers.
1t has been learned that the sailors
VINO were among the assassins were not
part of any crew stationed in Petro-
grad, but had recently arrived from Fin
land, where they had been attached to
the Baltic fleet. The bodies of the
slain ministers, together with those of
the victims of Fridays demonstration,
including NJ. Loginoff, a Siberian MEM
Der of-ihe Constituent Assembly, were
viewed by thousands to-day in a chapel
Of the Marine Hospital.
Four other members Of the Kerensky
government who had been in another
hospital because Of illness to-day were
transferred to the Kresy Prison by the
Bolshevik authorities. The ministers
transferred were A. V. Kartasheff, A.
i. Konovalof, S. N. Tretyakoff and S.
A. Smirnotf.
Further details of the crime reveal
the fact that the murderers did not
spend more than ten minutes in the
Marine Hospital. At o'clock, when all
was still, the hospital doorbel rang
loudly. The porter inquired who was
there, and was told it was guard for
the exministers. Thereupon a dozen
members of the Red Guard and sailors
rushed in and made straight for the
rooms of the victims.
