STACKER RAID
BAKERS PLAN.
SAYS GREGORY
Round-ups Made at Request
of the Secretary of
War.

President Wilson late yesterday made
public Attorney General Gregory's re-
port on the Stacker roundup in New
York City. The latter takes full re-
sponsibility for the action, and SAYS
that he will continue to employ the
general plans now in effect for arrest
ing draft evaders and delinquents, un-
less he receives orders to the contrary
from the President.
The roundup, according to Mr. Greg
ory, was made at the request of Sec
retary Baker, who declared the large
number of slackers and deserters con-
stituted IAN indictment against the
honor of the nation"
The Attorney General admits. how
ever. that instructions which he had
issued-"over and over again''-were
disregarded In the arrests made in
New York and Brooklyn. These in
structions prohibit Department of
Justice agents from permitting SOL
diers and sailors and members of the
American Protective League to make
arrests. They may cooperate with
government or municipal officials.
possessing police powers, but may
not make actual arrests.
A total of 50,277 men were arrested
and detained in New York. Brooklyn,
Newark. Jersey City, Hoboken, Pat
erson and Passaic, Mr.. Gregory said,
and out of this number were found
1901 actual slackers, who have since
been inducted into the army. In ad-
dition. 15,015 draft delinquents-men
who thought that registration ended
their duty and who failed to fill out
questionnaires, and the like-were also
rounded up.
The three-day canvass In Manhattan
and Bronx netted 11,652 men. of whom
300 were inducted into military serv-
ice. and at least 1900 turned over to
their local boards as delinquents.
The Brooklyn roundup caught $3.50,
of whom 252 have been held by order
of court, and at least 1000 classified
as delinquents. while the New Jersey
towns had 2s.s75 arrested, of whom
749 were slackers and 12,515 delin-
quents.s

REIGN OF RUIN
RULES RUSSIA
STATE REPORTS
Bolsheviki Terroriizing Pop
ulace Since Attempt on
Lenine's Life.

All of Russia, In the hands Of the
Bolsheviki. Is face to face with
reign of ruin whose fury is unpar-
alleled in history.
This is the belief of State Depart
ment officials in receipt yesterday of
new advices, which give but faint
picture of the horrors and crimes now
being committed there.
Petrograd is burning. according to a
dispatch from the American Legation
in Christiania. Twelve different fires
are raging in the city proper. Mean
time the massacre of hundreds of
persons is in progress and anarchy is
rampant
Grave concern is felt here for the
safety of Consul General Poole and
other allied diplomats and attaches in
Moscow, as heretofore the Bolshevist
excesses have broken out in both
Petrograd and Moscow at the same
time, as though by agreement
Practically all news from European
Russia, for that portion of it where
the Bolsheviki maintain their power
by frightfulness and murder has been
of the gravest character in the past
few days. Officials here believe that
Germany. acting in concert with the
Bolsheviki, is attempting to control
the country, by whatever means she
thinks this can be accomplished.
News Mengre But Authentic.
The meager news to the department
yesterday which is apparently au-
thentic inasmuch as the American
legation states II as fact, is all that
was received yesterday concerning
Russia, it was said. Its receipt, how
ever, from Norway only serves to EN-
phasize the shroud of mystery which
now envelops Russia.
Secretary Lansing was unable to
say whether the massacre now in
progress in Petrograd was organized
murder, or came about as result
of general conditions there. Neither
was he able to explain whether
Bolshevik authorities had instituted
the burning, murder and pillage, or
were attempting to restore order. II
is presumed, however. that the out
RACES began at least with their tacit
sanction as a result of the general
disturbances which have resulted
since the attempted assassination of
Premier Lenine. . .
Allied Troops Maintain Order.
Apparently the only part Of Euro
pean Russia where there is a SEM
blance of order ie where allied troops
are stationed. The remainder of that
unhappy country is seething caldron
of anarchy, with the rest Of the world
powerless to interfere.
