 Stockholm, Tuesday, Sept. 1O.-July and August were months of horror which never will be forgotten by per- sons who watched Russia's two great cities-Petrograd and Moscow, pass through the mad attempt of the Bol- sheviki to shoot or imprison all per- sons who disagreed with their wild eff forts to control crumbling European Russia.
 September probably will be worse, for the opposition parties are gaining strength through desperation.
 The lives of the non-Bolsheviki are unsafe and everywhere in Russia self defense is forcing unwilling bell , gerents to take up arms aganst the ruthless persecution of the so called commissions for the suppression of counter revolution which shoot down the bourgeoisie by the hundreds. Leon Trotsky, the Bolsheviki mlaister of war, evidently is determined that his dictatorship of the proletariat shall not repeat the history of the former provisional governor and fail through being too merciful.
 No Bloodless End.
 EX-premier Kerensky refused to impose the death penalty and his gov ernment fell almost without the loss of life, but observers of the Russian political situation say that no such bloodless end can come to the soviet republic.
 It has given no quarter and it will receive none. Premier Lenine, war minister Trotsky, Sverdloff, president of the central executive committee and other Bolsheviki leaders realize this and they doubtless will fight as long as a single soldier remains loyal to them.
 Reduce Moscow to Ashes.
 Trotsky has said in his speeches that Moscow will be reduced tc ashes before it is surrendered.

 Night has been hideous in Moscow, for months because of the volleys by firing squads from military enclos- ures where prisoners are kept.
 Foreigners and Russians alike were searched without warrants and the Red Guards marched crowds of men and women prisoners through the streets with such regularity that ped- estrains hardly noticed them. Marie Spiridonova,. socialist revolutionary leader, charged in her memorable speech and before the all Russian sov- jet congress at Moscow on July A.; that Bclsheviki rule was more tyran- nical than that of the late emperor and the reign of terror had scarcely begun at that time.
 In State Anarchy.
 Dr. Karl Helfferich, the German ambassador at Moscow, rushed back to Berlin and reported to his govern ment that Moscow was in such state of anarchy that the embassy could not stay there and he is alleged to| have advised discontinuance of dip- lomatic relations with the soviet pow CT.
 There is little wonder that ambas- sador Helferich had such an impress sion.
 Two attempts were were made on his life while he was in Moscow.
 (This is the first news to come out of Russia of an attempt being made against the life of the new German ambassador at Moscow. His predeces- sor Count Won Mirbach, was assassin ated.
 Killed All In Sight.
 Shots were heard everywhere day and night and motor lorries filled with armed soldiers dashed madly through the streets with utter disre- gard for the live of civilians.
 The actual fighting which took pjlace in the streets of Moscow on| July when the city was under artill- cry fire for several hours was far
