DAILY MASSACRES
In RUSSIA REPORTED

Daily wholesale massacre of inno-
cent citizens, the filling of jaiIs to
overfiowing with political suspects by
the so-called Russian leaders are re-
ported to this government in state
ments that come from a neutral coun-
try. According to these gloomy ac-
counts, the situation is simply tragi-
cal. The situation described dates
from September ;, but as the govern
ment at Moscow and Petrograd ap-
pears to be in the hands of a bloody
tribunal called "The Extraordinary
Commission Against Counter RevoIu-
uon," it is indicated that the horrors
depicted have been continuous since
that time.
1t is reported from these credible
sources in neutral countries that only
a few papers run by the radical Boil
sheviks are permitted to circulate
and that there is naturally no news in
them revealing the work of the coun-
ter revolutionary tribunal. One of the
earlier papers. however, states: The
so-called Extraordinary Commission
Against Counter Revolution has con-
Quoted. since last May, a campaign of
terror. Numbers Of persons have
been executed without even the for
malities of a trial, and among these
many were probably innocent. Many.
in fact. did not hold the political
views for which they were executed"
The extreme Socialists, it appears
from the information at hand, are
fighting the Bolsheviki in the same
way that they fought the regime of
the Gar. One of the Bolshevik off,
cial papers speaks in cold blood of the
shooting of 500 at one time.

SCOT HEROINE
Miss Kathleen Burke Ad
dresses Capital War

is to keep up the courage of the

Kathleen Burke. Of the Scottish wom-

ness Women's Council of the Y. w.
c. A. Miss Burke illustrated this
statement by her experience with
women in a factory in France where
they were, working underground in a
bombed town for an average wage of
30 cents a day. When she asked IL
they were discouraged. they answered
that 1t was their business not to be
discouraged in order to keep up the
courage of the men.
Miss Burke praised the way the
women in America have rallkd tc
the call for war workers. THE women
in this country were far better or.
ganized than the women OF France OF
of England at the outbreak of the
war" said Miss Burke. "In England
the only women's organizations were
the Suffragettes and the Volunteer
Women's Aid, while in America you
had a wonderful organization oi
womens clubs and civic centers OF
which to build"
Miss Burke wears a Russian, two
French and two Serbian military
medals and the Cross of the Com.
mander of the Order of the British
Empire. She has observed action ir
the front line trenches and escaped
from Ostend two days before the
Germans took the town.

ASKS CONGRESS
FOR BILLIONS
War Department Submits
Estimates to Meet Army
Expenses.

Revised estimates by the War De-
partment OF the cost of maintaining
Americas increased army up to
June 30 of next year have swelled the
total of the army deficiency bill to
81, ,3f7. .127, 500. 30. The figures were made
public yesterday by Chairman She-ley
of the House committee on Appro-
priations.
When Mr.. sherley left his office
Monday night, the total estimates re-
ceived footed up a little over $500,
00o. 600 Yesterday morning. however,
additional demands came from the
War Department, running the aggre-
gate sum needed for the ermy up
81. 900, 10000 more.
May Pad Revenue Bill.
The task of the Appropriations Com
mittee will be to ascertain how much
OF the money Is actually needed dur
ing the coming year, and how much
OF the expense can be defrayed by
means of authorizations, which would
be paid out of appropriations in the
next fiscal year. 1t Is probable that
at least one-half OF the total sum
asked for can be put off by contract
authorizations; this would necessitate
a very large addition to the 5000, coo, =
coo revenue bill which the House is
now considering.
The Senate Finance committee will
have to find ways of imposing new
taxes to bring this sum into the
Treasury. Chairman Kitchin of the
House Ways and Means committee
intends to allow the revenue bill to be
passed by the House in its present
form, leaving to the Senate the Job
of devising some scheme for adding
the required. 1000, 900, 600 or 5000. 900, =
900 to the bill. Consumption taxes
may be applied to raise about $780,
