ACTIVITIES OF CAPRONI
 PLANES ON FRENCH FRONT

The giant "Caproni" aeroplanes, with their great cargOes of eXplo- sives, are feared more by the Germans than giant cannons, according to a French technician. Italian aeroplanes in France have carried many tons of explosives over the western front and have dropped them on enemy territory The amount of explosives which one of these aeroplanes can drop on a city more than 200 miles from the front is about ten times as large as the pro jectiles fired on Paris. Official French documents praise the work of Italian aviators in France and give an account of their numerous engage ments.
 The stations of Metz-Sa blons, Thionville, Conflans, Sarrebruck, La on and San uQentin the hangars of Metz, and workshops of Briey, have several times been subjected to bomb ardments by Italian aeroplanes. In one night alone eight Caproni threw three tons and a half of explosives on the works at Ludwigsshaven, after travelling 135 miles through dense fog and against kind of fifteen miles an hour. The damage and fear pro- duced by the raid were such that, by an article in the German newspapers themselves it was learned that the workers in the region refused to re- turn to work for several days after the event Another night an Italian squadron of nine machines dropped three and half tons of explosives which destroyed a gas tank and an en- tire ammunition train near LuXem- berg, Freidrichsafen, on Lake Cos tance. where there are many sheds for Zeppelins, was also bombed. This feat necessitated a flight of about 450 miles.
 French dispatches say that the French people warmly welcomed the Italian aviators, who were among the best Italy had to offer The CroiX de Guerre was donated to several of them for their remarkable fighting. Two Caproni, in an encoun- ter, chased the German ace, Captain Willy, across the Marne, and after a heated combat the plane with the German Captain crashed to earth. The aviators selected for service in France had already to their credit numerous victories over the Austrian forces on the Italian front

Late cue night when some of the other prisoners were singins sudden ly there was a deathlike hush. looked up and saw a Red Guard off rer and soldiers standing at the opening to the ante-room ill which the prison guards were stationed \ list of twelve names of civilians and soldiers was read out No one doubted what thi, meant II was the list of those set down for immediate execution. II included two pairs of brothers. All the condemned men rose without delay and shook hands with their neighbors. No one showed the slightest fear.
 The iron folding doors between the big room and the ante room were then closed. This was done onIy when prisoners were taken away for execution. The doors remained clos ed for d few minutes and were then rcCpened and the names of two other soldiers who had previously been overlooked were then called out. The men also rose without tremor ana the folding doors were shut a5econd time and time The condemned pri- SonerS were either shot i'll the base mcnts Of the prison with their backs to the firing party or they were talk fan out to the suburbs in motor lorries and there told 10 get out aud get away. Then volleys were poured into them while they were walking or rJnnng away. The bodies are sometimes recoverable by relatives on payment of heavy bribes
 Later Beringer Was transferred to Butyrky jail at the other end of the city which contained some 5000 pri- soncrs In the cell he occupied there was a Russian eX-jud2e. a few sol diCrs and some members of the mid dle and working classes. The yer min was as had as at Lubvanka and sanitary conditions worse. There was no possibility of taking d bath but Bcringer was allowed a half hours exercise daily in the yard.
 There he and some of the others received assistance from Major Allen WardWell of the American Red Cross who, he writes, "litcrally shaved on behalf of the prisonerS.'
 ''l'hc conditions of our internmcnt were so violently sordid that it is no wonder that the minds of some of the more refined prisoners be- came unhinged," Beringar wires.
 "The Bolshevik leaders show no mercy In their newspapers they hold up Marat as the ideal friend of the people. They urge that his eX- ample should be followed and preach the eNtermination of the entire mid dle class.

London, Nov. 1 Correspondence of The Associated Press.)--A British scout airplane recently roaming the skies in search of night raiders, per ceived German bombing machine, twisting and turning in the grip of several British searchlights.
 The British pilot dived to the at tack, and put in a strong burst of machine gun fire. The German mach inc burst into flames and begun to flutter earthwards, like a huge burn ing leaf. Suddenly, the British mach inc rocked in the cOncussion of a tredenmdous explosion, and the Ger man raider vanished in binding flash. One of it's own powerful bombs had exploded, blowing it to pieces.

RUSSIAN RED GUARD SHOWED
 LITTLE MERCY

London, Oct. 16.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press. .)-Suffering of some of the British residents of Moscow in the Bolshevik prisons in that city where they were kept for six weeks after having been arrest ed by the Red Guards upon flimsy preteXts, are vividly portrayed by Guy Beringer, Reuter- correspondent at Moscow, who was set free early this month and has reached Hapar- anda, Sweden.
 Baringer, in his report wired from Haparanda, says he was arrested while in the home of the British chaplain adjoining the British con- sulate in Moscow and together with the chaplan and several other Eng fish men and women, was marched oil foot two miles through the streets to the I.ubyanks House of Detention.
 "T was separated from my com panions and was led to a room in which were some thirty prisoners, mostly civilians. including a few wo- men," writes MT. Beringer. 'I spent five days and nights in this rooma i'll which there was just sufficient space for the inmates to sleep on the floor. There was no bed of any kind, for food we had piece of blackbread ] and few dips with wooden spoon into bowl of the thinnest possible ! cabbage soup. containing some her ring heads. Eight of us had to share I the contents of this one bowl. Many people who were without provisions 1 from outside were literally in state I of starvation.
 Like the Russian prisoners, we were treated as helOts and were ad- dressed insultingly in the second per l son singular by low brutes among
 the Red Guards.

RUSSIAN PEASANTS EAT SACRED BIRD.
 THE WHITE SWAN

WitH the American Forces in North ern Russia, Sept. IS Correspondence of The Associated Press. ss.)-Russian peasants in this district are glad to be freed from Bolshevik rule.
 "The Bolsheviks promised us that we would have land and peace and plenty" one sturdy oldman said to the Associated Press Correspondent but we soon learned what was their theory It was just this:
 Tonight I go over and steal your COW and tomorrow night you come back and cut my throat and steal it back"
 The peasants here are now settling down to what they hope will be order and tranquility after a long reign of Bolsheviki terror.
 All along the roads here one finds .'in the evenings, peasants walking back to their houses with little bags of food, given them by the Allies. Now and then, they are given a can of jam luxury even for the rich in Russia now.
 In one village, which the Allies had not yet had time to reach with their food supplies, the correspondent found one peasant family eating swan, which they described as exceedingly tough.
 Tt was a sacred birl with us be- fore" one of the peasants apologized but we have no meat and the Bol- sheviks killed the fish in our lake with bombs from their airplanes."
 The peasants are working willingly under the kind treatment of British and American Russian-speaking sold iers. Theyswere very glad to build al aviation field, cutting down many acres of thick timber, because they were told the field would be theirs for cultivation after the campaign.

Thereafter the Germans, when they moved large bodies of troops, moved them under cover of night and pos sibly acros Athe fields.
