Russia S Reign Of Terror.

The report that Petrograd is given over to
massacre and conflagration simply repeats the
grim tidings that come from every part of Russia
where the Bolsheviki have hand Their treason
able regime is topping from despotism to anarchy
And the sooner it crashes to end, the earlier
will hope dawn for the land they have outraged.
Describing conditions he lately found them
in Russia, Associated Press correspondent
wrote: Human life has lost all value, and for
eigners and Russians alike at the mercy of of
fcials who kill without trial" Confirming this
view and picturing it in more sombre detail is the
account of the New York World representative re-
Gently arrived in Stockholm after extensive OBJ

The Bolsheviki," he cables, have insti-

means to maintain the dictatorship, killing
without trial or before inquisitorial tribunals.
Only here back in civilization where murder
is crime do we begin to comprehend how
little the world understand what Russia
has come to in these last weeks. In every city
in Russia there the same scenes of terror.
Conditions worse in the provinces.
Commissioners sent from Moscow to or

Such is the harvest of Boshevikism. Having
severed Russia from her best friends and deliver

at death grips with the arch enemy of human
rights having fddled upon their foolish theories
while the world was burning, the followers of
Lenine and Trotzky-half doctrinaires and half
criminals adventurers-are meeting their inevi-
table end. They are going down in the storm of
terrorism they brewed These frightful days
for Russia, but if they cleanse the air of its Boil

sober patriotism they will have served con-

sSn.
 To the south from Cambrai to St. Quentin, the German resistance still is strong, but nevertheless the British, Americans and French on all the sec tors which are essential to the carry ing forward of the allied programme, have valiantly attacked and with stood counter attacks, smashed the old Hindenburg positions and materially advanced their line. Sequehart, north of St. Quentin, which the Germans in violent counter attack recaptured from the British Wednesday, again has been retaken by Field Marshal Haigs men, who now are out on the rolling country to the eastward, as likewise are all the allied troops from St. Quen- tin northward.
 Northwest of Rheims the Germans are offering more resistance to the French along the Aisne and the sec tors which are protecting the eastern end of the Chemin des Danes, the western end of which already is dom mated by the French guns, but Gen. eral Berthelot's forces nevertheless have captured Cormicy and reached the Aisne Canal between ConcevreuX and La Neuvillette, front of more than fifteen miles.

The railroad june tion point of Challerange, a short dis tance south of Vouziers, has been captured and here the French have completed thei~ domination of the Aire valley, running north of the Ar gonne Forest and are only awaiting the arrival of the Americans at the eastern end of the valley to nip the big wooded bastion out of the fighting line. The Americans are slowly ap- preaching the rendezvous.
 Tn their retreat from Albania the Austro- Hungarians everywhere are in flight before the Italians, burning the towns and depots behind them. Large numbers of prisoners and quantities of war material have been captured.

 OFFICES OF UNITED STATES

Tn message was de- iivered to Secretary Lansing last Mon day just afker news of the signing of the armistice between the allies and Bulgaria had reached. the state de- partment.
 The text, signed by Premier Malin- off, follows:
 Kindly transmit to the president of the United States and to the secretary of state. MT. Lansing, in Washington, the following:
 The Bulgarian nation and govern ment were constrained to enter into the general conflict after they had ex- hausted all peaceful means possible for coming to an understanding with their neighbors and for realizing their race reunion. This fact Bulgaria reiterated in her note of Sept. 20th last in an swer to the peace proposition of Count Burian given out on Sept. 14th.
 If the ideas of the president of the United States are to be crowned with success and if their realization is that sought for no more in the old con- NCPNACil bL AllCNllOdS Ol dCllOL DuI III the path pointed out by the honored president of the American republic for the establishment of new order of things guaranteeing freedom and jus tice among the nations, Bulgaria, which feels that the idea and cause for which she is struggling find place side by side with the principles in behalf of which America interfered in this war is glad and ready to follow that path in order to secure the fulfill ment of justice desired by her
 Having this in view, therefore, the Bulgarian government turns to the friendly republic of the United States with the request that it's president use his good offices for putting an end to the bloodshed on the Macedonian front by the conclusion of an armistice after which are to follow preliminary nego- tiations for peace, the final settlement of the Balkan questions being left to be decided in the general peace con ference"
