And Their Misdeeds
Spreads in Russia

AMSTERDAM, July 11.-Dcscribing
conditions in Petrograd as told him by
German doctor, the correspondent at
hlev OF the "Wcser Zcitung" says the
Russian middle classes do not want a
monarchy. What they want is to re-
tam certain things won by the revolu-
ton. Neither do they want Bolshev-
ism.
Germans, the correspondent saws he
was told by the doctor, are highly dis
gustcd and dislikcd, though more Ger
man is heard on the Nevski Prospect
than even In peace time. Petrograd,
ADDS the correspondent, is picture of
chaos, In which only one feature stands
out cleariy--antipathy to Germany.
Telegraphing from Moscow, the cor
respondent of the "Frankfurter Zei-
tung' says:
The bourgeoisie are experiencing a
veritable reign of terror. They are
being turned out of their houses, which

being removed to cellars and to other
hiding places.

7eutons Establish
Dictatorship and
Rauish Esthonia
(By The Associated Press)

STOCKHOLM, July 11.-Representa-
ttlves now in Copenhagen of the Esthon-
IAN Diet and government have sent a
strong protest to Germany against
Germany's occupation policy and op-
preston in that Baltic province. Mr..
Morris, the American Minister to Swed-
en-. has sent to President Wilson a
copy Of the protest, which declares:
despite the assurances of Count Won
Hertling, the German Imperial Chan
cellor,. and the terms of the Brest-
Litovsk treaty Germany has estab-
lished military dictatorship in Es-
thonia. Before the entrance of Ger
man troops Esthonian troops had re-
established order in most districts, but
the Germans disarmed these troops,
suspended the government, removed
the administrative organs in the towns
and country, took all the functions
into their own hands and created ad-
Vlsory committees composed of German
residents who do not comprise more
than per cent of the population.
German has been introduced as the
official language. although it is not un-
derstood by 80 per cent of the people,
The German language also has been in
troduced into the schools, while the
Dorpat University has been German
ized
"By means of unscrupulous penal
ties, consisting of heavy fines, penal
sorvitude and shootings after trial by
court martial, the Germans have sup
pressed free speech and political ac-
tlvity. Newspapers which have been
allowed to continue publication have
been compelled to publish pro- German
propaganda. Prominent Esthonians
who modestly protested against the op-
preston have been arrested"
In conclusion the declaration pro-
tests against Germany "plundering the
country, selling foodstuffs to such an
extent that the native population IS
left to starve, while German soldiers
are permitted daily to send double ra-
tions to Germany"

ton, but it may be said authortatvely
that final decision has been reached on
none. All of the Cabinet members are
suggesting to President Wilson names
of men prominent in various industries
who might be fitted for the work in
hand.
Possibilities of famine this winter
in Russia are giving this government
some concern. Reports from authentic
sources say that in the political tur
moil agriculture virtually has been
abandoned and that the people have
eaten what grain the Germans have
not taken. The result is that there
has been no seed for planting.

numerous daily executions the town
of Sveaborg has been renamed Col
gotha.'"
The speaker then referred to the
suppression of vernacular newspapers
in the provinces of Livonia and Es
thonla, and added:
FIFTY persons recently were arrest
ed at Dorpat and German military die
tatorshlp rules everywhere. A boy aged
ten was sentenced to a long imprison-
ment for concealing arms, while a bow
OF fifteen was sentenced to death for
picking up manifesto. For similar
offence a woman named Julia Daft was
executed"

a Bolshevik. now under arrest, which
said:
