BOlshevik Furies
Ruling in Russia

Stockholm, Oct. 26.-Executions
are the most merciful part of the
Red Terror practice in Moscow and
Petrograd, according to several neu-
trail observers who have just arrived
in Sweden. These men have watched
Bolshevik activities in the two great
Russian cities for many weeks. They
k9d no personal interests involved
Ad no personal friends affected by
the reign of slaughter and torture
which probably is unparalleled in
the worlds histry.
While thousands. perhaps, have
been executed, the list of victims is
far less appalling than the ruthless
manner in which political prisoners
have been sent to death without q
semblance of legal trial, the heart
lessness with which they were treat
ed and the utter indifference of the
Bolshevik officials to appeals of
heartbroken relatives who have
been kept in suspense and not al
lowed to learn what has become of
loved ones.
Verified stories of scenes at Mos
COW and Petrograd prisons eclipse
descriptions of the barbarism of the
middle ages and make the cruelty
of the French revolution seem al
most humane. Women prison off,
cials, and many of them are women,
are even more heartless than men
and trample under foot all the better
instincts expected of their SEX

PENNSYLVANIA IS
CALLED TO SPURN
WILSON'S APPEAL
State Chairman Grow Says
Presidents Statement Is
Executive Club

Uniontown, Pa. Oct. 26.-The fol-
lowing statement was issued last
night by william E. Grow. chairman
of the Republican State Committee,
in connection with President Wilson's
appeal for the election of Democrats
to both Houses of Congress
"The appeal of President Wilson
for a vote of confidence based on
the declaration that the election of
a Republican majority to the House
or Senate will be interpreted on the
other side of the ocean as a repudi-
alton of my leadership is the last
word in Democratic autocracy in this
democracy.
This declaration carries with 1t
the implication that the only true pa
triot is n Democrat or one who votes
for Democrat. 1t is refutation
of the popular conception that this
is popfs war. 1t is the greatest
attempt ever made to capitalize par
tisanship and patriotism.
THE appeal is nothing more or
less than an executive club.
There is n limit to partisanship
riding rough shod over patriotism. 1

hundreds more to follow.
The influenza epidemic which ex-
acted a fatal toll of sixteen lives
among the soldiers since its outbreak
in the depot, is decidedly on the wane
according to attaches of the hospital

in their condition is steady. Three
deaths from influenza occurred at the
hospital yesterday. Heretofore, dur

was no unusual sight to see half a
dozen soldiers carrying comrade,
sick or dead from the disease, TO the
barracks hospital or the morgue.
A letdown, however. in this grue-

warehouses have long since gradually
sifted away to other and equally por-
