MOSCOW, Oct. 2S-Indifference to

lie by the Soviet authorities. The
welfare of Russia was scarcely men
Toned in entries for several weeks
after the Kerensky revolution.
Nicholas thoughts were wholly oc-

Germans Told Americans
Will Cut Heads OFF
if Taken Prisoners

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES,
Oct fisherman officers are now
telling their soldiers that all German
prisoners taken by the United States
troops have their heads cut off when
taken to the rear. The obvious pur-
pose of this is to prevent the men
from giving themselves up voluntar-
lily to the Americans, as hundreds OF
them have lately DONE
Sitting In an American field hospital
today were two young German pris-
oners who had been brought in by a
Brooklyn sergeant, lad of only 90.
One was slightly wounded. The other
was sobbing and pleading with the
surgeon to save him from having his
head cut off, which is said he under
stood from his commanding officer
would be his fate
The doctor assured the frightened
German that the Americans were not
quite as savage as all that; but the
prisoner was still trembling and griev-
ing as he was led to the rear of the
American line by corporal.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S-German news
papers received here show that sharp
criticism of the German military pol
lev was voiced in debate during a
sitting of the main committee OF the
reichstag late in September. Deputy
Adolph Groeber. of the center party;
Philip Schiedemann, the SOCIALIST
leader and now secretary OF state
without portfolio in Prince Maxlmii-
ian's government; Deputy F1scnpeck,
of the peoples progressive party ana
Dr. Gustav Stresemann, OF the nation
al liberal party, were the CHIEF critics.
The keynote OF their remarks was that
the military policy reduces the civil
government to the role of puppet.
According to the Vorwaerts OF Sep
TENDER 26. the address OF Herr Groe-
Der was the greatest surprise or the
day. In the past he has been
strong supporter of the militarlst
forces. During the debate, he turned
upon Chancellor Won Hertl1ng and
also General Won Stein, Pruslan war
minister, accusing the latter OF having
forbidden meetings in favor OF the
peace resolution passed by the reich
stag in July, 1917.
Philip Schiedemann was unsparing
in his criticism OF conditions which
have arisen during recent months. He
said, in part:
1.-THE last year has been the worst
ever lived by the German people, 1t
was believed that, following the con-
clusion of peace in the east. mill
tary superiority had been created in
the west. In fact, we have been de-
ceiyed. Authoritative circles have un-
derestimated the enemy and this
underestimation has been commune
Gated suggestively to the people. 1t
has not been possible, IS a military
thought to crush the enemy. We will
on the contrary. be compelled to do
our utmost in avoiding being crushed
ourselves.
"Vice Chancellor Won Payer en-
deavored, in his speech at Stuttgart,
to justify Germany's policy in the
east He even tried to harmonic his
address with remarks recently made
by DR.. w. S. Solf, the secretary of
state for colonies. This was a diff
cult undertaking for DR.. Solf baby
would have spoken quite differently
il he had been acquainted with the
treaties supplementary to the Brest-
Litovsk convention. It Is very char
acteristic that DR.. Solf as member
of the government knew nothing of
these treaties.
1.-The time is irrevocably passed,
when the peoples will be willing to
spill their blood for dynastic reasons.
1t has been impossible to bring our
full force to bear upon the western
front, because, as result OF our
eastern policy, German troops must
be kept in great strength in the east"

WINTER
FACING RUSSIA

LONDON, Oct 20. Correspondence
of the Associated Press.)-A winter of
The Associated Press)-A winter Of
starvation is a safe prediction for Rus
| sia Indications are that 1t will be
| one of the worst winters the Russian
people have experienced in all their
history.
All summer the food situation in
Russia, particularly in Moscow, Petro-
grad and other large cities has been
steadily growing more and more acute.
In the latter part of August, before
the writer left Moscow, bread, or that
mixture of straw, oat husks and other
ingredients of unknown origin which
Moscow Inhabitants are indicted to
accept as bread, had almost entirely
disappeared, and certain city districts
had not received the usual allowance
for nearly week.
The government had classified the
population into categories, whereby
workingmen and government en-
ployes received a larger allowance,
while professionals and well-to-do peo-
pie get the smallest, which in Moscow
amounts to oEe-sixteenth Of pound.

three herrings day.
The shortage of bread is largely due
to the governments short-sighted poll
cy in fixing low price for grain which
did not even cover the farmers ex-
penditure, let alone profit The peas
ants refused to comply with the de-
cree to turn over all grain in excess
of a certain arbitrarily fixed amount
to the food committee, and when the
latter were REINFORCED by detach-
ment of armed dread crusaders" the
peasants gathered from several vii
lagos and offered resistance. frequent
ly putting the crusaders to flight.
But even If the government prices
were much higher, the peasants would
not willingly exchange their grain for
worthless money, of which they seem
to have much and which has no prac-
teal value to them. They want manu-
featured goods, which the government
is unable to furnish, as most of the
factories are idle, for lack Of fuel and
raw material, and also because the
BolsheviM need the workmen to fight
on the numerous fronts.

Air Loneliness" Is

LONDON, Oct. 28.-"Air loneliness"
which the military aviator experienced

Last Year Was Worst Euer Lived BY

Don't Soap Windows This
Year, Boys; It's Unpatriotic

"It's unpatriotic to soap windows"
Every patriotic boy in Richmond
will paste this dictum in his cap and
son Is ancient history.
Here's the reason. Soap contains
fats and oils. These are badly needed
for war purposes. Every ounce fool
ishly applied to windows is an ounce
taken from war purposes.
II 500 ounces are wasted in Rich
mond and the boys In other cities
waste soap in the same proportion,
many thousands OF pounds will be
used foolishly.
