Row Over Authority Proves To
Be Big Russian Menace
Travellers Say.

STOCKHOLM, oct. 20. (By the Asso-
Ciated Press 1.-The clash of authority
between the counter-revolutionary com :
missions of Russia and the central and
local soviet organizations has become
so serious as to show that 1t is the
predominant menac to the dictator
ship of the proletariat, according TO
information brought here by travellers.
NJ. Peters, head Of the commission
TO suppress counter-revolutions, has
become moro powerful than the ma
tional councils OF commissaries. Even
Nikolai Lenine, the Bolshevik premier,
was unable to save men he did not
wish executed by the Peters commits
sion.
The red terror, spread from Moscow,
has become a monster which Lenine
and other mllder members OF the CEN
trail government can not control.
The counter-revolutionary commits
sions' chiefs in the smaller cities are
equally merciless, giving accused per-
sons no chance to prove their inno-
cence. The counter-revolutionary ON
missions to try and execute political
suspects without reference to other gov
eminent organizations.
The national commissary Of Justice Is
e~ndeavoring to have the counter-revo
lutIonary commission placed under his
authority, but they are resisting. The
red terror Is not waged so publicly at
Moscow now, the conservative elements
evidently realizing the terrible preCe-
dent established, and they are endeav-
oring to dislodge the system.

Then NJ. Delory resumed:
"The Lens plains are nothing but ar

AMERICAN
OBSERVERS WATCH
FOR NEW ASSAULT

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Now that
the Germans have been cleared out Of
Belgian Flanders and much OF northern
France, army officials here are watch
ing the battle front intently, many with
q distinct feeling hat a new attack
may be about TO break against the
enemy. There Is nothing to indicate
that this expectancy was founded upon
definite Information and 1t probably
grows out Of a number Of happenings
Of q minor character but possible i'm

Beyond doubt the German retirement

There is little doubt hero that the
German army is headed for nothing
short Of the Meuse line ard that any
pause will be but temporary. Several
hats of this character may be expect
ed, It was said, as the withdrawal Is
carried out. The fact that the allied
armies are hampered by extending com
m%unication lines gives opportunity for
such halts before Marshal Foch's forces
can come up in sufficient force to COM
pei a resumption Of the rearward move

The line surrendered by the enemy

Zeebrugge or other Flanders ports.
Without question. it Is said. these ave
nues already are being opened to free
the longer lines back into France of
that burden and consequently officers
can not 500 any tactical advantage
gained by the enemy unless he intends
TO fall back at least to the line Of
the Meuse.

TO many officers It seems possible
that now events have so shaped the

such a thrust,
To other officers, however, recent
French raiding operations in Alsace
seem to have Significance. Apparently
