BOLSHEvIKI FIND CHECK

Coordinate Bodies in Siberia Rem
der Valua BILE Aid to Czecho-
Slovaks in Government.

TOXIC, September 10 (correspon-
dence of the Associated Press).-Fail-
ure of the bolsheviki to control ST.
IBERIA was partly due to the fact that
the leaders of the provisional Siberian
government have organized "co-opera-
tive unions" throughout the country.
which have welded the people into one
great family, hostile alike to the
Establishments of radicalism and of
the Germans.
Twenty-Five of these bodies were
formed in villages and counties short

ton, according to Already Petroff.
deputy minister of foreign affairs OF
autonomous Siberia, now in Toxic,
and number about 100000 conservative
socialists. democrats and army officers
of the former regime living in the
region between Ural and Irkutsk.
These organizations are secret and,
while each is a separate and indepen-
dent entity, all are united for mutual
| benefit for the maintenance of the
provisional government, financing and
the transaction of business.
Mr.. Petroff declared 1t was owing to
the assistance of these societies in
providing arms, munitions. food and
clothing that the CZecho-Slovaks have
been so successful against the Lenin-
Trotsky troops. The people of ST.
IBERIA. he said. were anxious when he
left Siberia to see the country along

and order and tranquility restored by
the allies.

IN A SORRY PLIGHT.
Condition of Inhabitants of Poland

Correspondence of the Associated Press
LONDON, September 15.-Thou-
sands of Jews in Poland and Lithua-

as in a "sorry plight" by L repre-
sentative of the Dutch relief COM

Shortage of raw material and lack

earning livelihood from a vast pro-
portion of the Jewish population in
both countries. he says, and the NOR
tality is exceedingly high, particu-
larly among the young.
Conditions in Wilma are said to be
unusually bad, more than half of the

of mortality showed an increase Of 4

show an increase in the death toll of

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FIELD, September 15-An instance
of cowardly treachery on the part of
Il captured German officer who had
been wounded and who had been Of
fered help by an American officer is
told by Lieut.. Edward Nichols of ia
maica. n. y.
After the last big drive of the allies
in August Lieut. Nichols was placed
in charge of a company of soldiers
whose task it was to clear the field
of American dead and wounded. AL
though his duties did not require him
to aid the German wounded on the
field until the Americans were dis
posed of, Lieut.. Nichols, who is only
twenty-three years old, went to the
assistance of a German infantry Of
ticer who seemed more than any of
his comrades to be in need of Succor.
The lieutenant was in the act of
christening his canteen and giving
the wounded man Il drink of water
when the German drew a revolver
while the unsuspecting Americans
face was turned, and aimed it at the
head of his rescuer.
Before he could pull the trigger,
however, quck-witted American
sergeant plunged his bayonet through
the Germans heart. The Germans
act was condemned even by his cap
tured comrades.

REPORTS DIRE CONDITIONS
IN A HUN SECRET CAMP
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
THE HAGUE, September 15.-Thou-
sands of Russian and Finnish red guards
imprisoned in a secret camp at F'riede-
mort, near Konigsberg, Germany. are
living and dying amid terrible condi-
tons, according to neutral who has
just arrived here after a long visit in
Germany. Many of them, he said. are
virtually naked and the remainder are
clad in rags. Deaths are common. and
he predicted that with the coming Of
winter most of those still alive would
perish from exposure.
Food conditions in West Prussia, this
informant said, are by no means as good
as in East Prussia. the home of the
junkers. Ample food was obtainable at
fairly reasonable prices in the east, in
consequence Of which the population
was comparatively cheerful. To this sit
uation he ascribed the continued resist
ance of the junkers to the desire for a
quick peace, which. he stated. was
growing rapidly in other parts of the
country.
The wreckage caused by the Russian
invasion of 1914 was still evident, ae-
cording to the traveller, who found the
streets of Gumbinnen in ruined condl-
ton. Reconstruction of military works,
however was going forward steadily by
the forced labor of many Russian and
Italian prisoners, who were being work
ed on railways, bridges, barracks and

Destruction at Lens.

PARIS, October "a startling pic
ture of destruction is drawn by an
official Eyewitness" who has visited
the neighborhood of Lens since the
Germans withdrew from that city.
Railways and tramways are torn UP
and are converted into huge piles of
twisted rails. Mayor Basly of Lens
says that the city has been virtually
ieveled. The Germans blew up en-
tire sections of the town to estab-
lisl their trench systems The popu-
lation of $4,000 is entirely Ger
man and the city is dead Water
fills the galleries of the coal mines
which used to turn out 100000 tons
of coal a year.
The national committee on war
damages thus sums up the devasta-
ton:
Despite the reprobation of the
world. the German war practices are
constantly being accentuated and in
tensified. These odious proceedings
have transformed hostilities into
abominable brigandage. seeking above
all the ruin of agriculture, industry
and commerce in this country"
Reports show that Roulers and
Thourout have been destroyed by fire.

They are filled with splendid monu-

"One cannot view without profound
sadness all the ruins the German in
vaders are leaving behind them-ruins
that represent not only material
losses, but also moral losses.
THE conduct of the German armies
is an outrage to civilization and hu-

Sweep of Wreck and Ruin,

THE destruction which has been go
ing on in the south is equaled in
other sections of the front. Reports
received from the north show great
sweep of wreck and ruin spreading
over the cities, villages and country
side of both France and Belgium, from
which the Germans are being slowly
forced. The extent of this devastation
is reaching the dimensions of a calam-
ity as the enemy is slowly recoiling.
Their reverse seems to sting them into
new excuses of wanton pillage and
arson.

Indignation of the Press.

The Daily Telegraph says: THE
evacuation of Belgium will not undo
the crime of 1914. PREPARATION to the
fullest measure must also be made,
for Belgium has the first claim on
Germany's resources for the unspeak-
able outrages she has suffered"
The Morning Post says: Indemnity
for Belgium should be made as heavy
as possible and Germany made to
feel the weight of her transgres-
S1Cns by the necessity Of paying for
them. The Post also suggests thai
he war indemnity should include the
handing over to the allies of the
merchant ships which Germany has
been building.
The Daily Mail demands that Ger
many should. be punished with the
utmost severity for the wanton de-
structlon of French towns, and the
other newspapers indorse this de-
mand. The Daily Express counsels the
stCppage of raw materials to Ger
many until all accounts have been
settled.

Clemenceau Assails Foe.

Premier Clemenceau has written a
singing commentary on German
practices in a letter to Deputy Mar
gain of the Marine department.. He
says:
''All international conventions which
maintained in armed conflicts tradi-
lions of loyalty and nobility have been
cynically swept aside by Germany
when she thought herself strongest,
and with hypocritical tears when she
felt the shudder of defeat. German
rage attacks not only human beings,
but throws it's blight on our cities,
our freSideS, our sacred monuments,
our art and history, and even upon
the trees of our fair land. The drama
of .Chalons, where a German airplane
bombarded the principal hospitals,
killing fifty-four persons and wound
ing forty, manifested again the en-
emy's rage and savagery.
Taken by the throat and driven
backward. he still seeks to vent his
hate upon the country from which our
soldiers drive him foot by foot. But
the blood, ruin and incendiarism which
he is leaving behind will have retri-
button, of'which he will soon feel the
weight"
