AMERICA IS SENDING
GERMANY SMALL ARMS

New York. Jan. "a. Although the
United States has been at war with
Germany since April 9. last. ships
carrying ammunition destined for
Germany cleared at New York as late
as last month. the American Defense
society declared today IN an open let
ter to Senator Chamberlain. chair
man OF the senate. committee on
military affairs,
''0n December 30. last. che letter
said, "a steamer which had been
cleared by federal authorities for
Copenhagen at New York carried
half a million rounds OF German
small arms ammunition and on De
cember 81, another steamer sailing
from New York carried million
rounds OF ammunition either manu-
factured or stored In this country
and intended for Germany"
Coordination OF the various gov
eminent intelligence bureaus and
'the strict enforcement OF military
measures against the enemy In this
country" were urged In the letter TO
Senator Chamberlain.
The letter declared that the work
OF the bureaus often causes duplica-
tion or runs "crosswise."

TROOPS MURDERED
GENERAL DUKA0N|N

Paris. Jan. AZ Correspondence
A vivid picture OF the circum-
stances OF the murder. BY infuriated
Bolsheyiki. Of General Dukhonin.
formerly commander-in-chief OF the
Russian army, II given by the Petro-
grad correspondent OF the Matin.
who apparently was an eye witness
OF the tragedy. According to his
story Ensign Krylenko. the Bolshe-
Wiki commander-in-chief. endeayored
to save General Dukhonin from the
mob but his efforts were unavailIng
and the Russian commander was
struck down by sailor and then
run through with dozen bayonets.
The murder took place after the
Bolsheviki had captured the head
quarters OF the Russian army at Mo-
hilev and followed General Dukho-
nin's refusal to request the German
army officials to enter into an ar
mistice with the Bolsheviki. The
general was on board train when
the mob surrounded him. Accord
ing to the Mathis correspondent the
general appeared at the window Of
his railway carriage.
Throw us your epaulettes."
shrleked the soldiers, "or well XIII
you" and they shouldered their
rifles.
Krylenko begged the general to
give way to them. but Dukhonin re-
fused.
They can go to the Deuce" he
cried. Let them kill me-"
A bullet whistled by, breaking
the window, then second General
Odintzeff went up to Dukhonin and
gently took off his epaulettes. They
we're thrown to the mob and were
quickly torn to pieces and for mo-
ment we thought he was saved.
Then a handful Of sailors jumped
into the carriage. They seized Duk-
honin by the shoulders and pushed
him to the end OF the coach and then
on to the platform. Krylenko ran af-
ter them. The generals appearance
caused great uproar
xiii him right out" they cried.
"Kerensky and Kornilof got of.
Men like him must be killed at
once"
AS the mob pushed closer and
closer upon the general, Krylenko
stormed and shouted, but no one
took any notice. With single blow
the general was struck down by a
tall sailor from the rebel cruiser
Aurora. Dukhonin got on his feet
again once, his face streaming with
blood. He tried to speak but
dozen bayonets we're run through
him, and then blows and KICKS we're
rained upon his body.
The soldiers fought for his cloth
ing tearing 1t from him. The corpse,
stripped bare, was set up against a
railway carriage and the mob. laugh
ing like madmen, started gruesome
game. Sailors, Red Guards, and SOL
diers made snow and mud balls and
flung them at the generals head.

writes the Mathis correspondent,
"and dashed back into the carriage,
where found Krylenko sitting In a
corner, his face in his hands. When
he lifted his head saw he was pale

CRUMBLING

God works in mysterious ways his
wonders to perform war never better
applied than to this war. First nj
all the vast empire OF Russia be
comes exhausted and the chaos that
always ensues under such circum-
stances overtakes her and man can-
not tell what is to come Of it. The
car is succeeded by strong man
who soon becomes a fugitive and in
sidious' German propaganda works
discord and treason in the Russian
army. Fraternizing follows quickly
and poor Russia is a vast, helpless
hulk, beached by the keenness of a
ruthless foe.
There is another side to this,
however. in that while the German
troops we're fraternizing with their
victims the Russians too, were SOW
ing seeds;of discord among the Ger
mans and Austrians. Some fell by
the wayside and perished, but others
fell In good ground and multiplied
greatly. The new seed grew and
produced yet others that soon
: spread, first throughout Austria,
but Germany received a portion and
they are still flourishing. So boun-
tiful has been the yield in Austria
that more than a million workers
stuck against hunger and German
ism and the foundations OF the gov
ernment we're shaken.
In their extremity officials plead,
and argued and threatened. and only
succeeded in restoring partial quiet
on the promise that peace would
doubtless come from the conference
at Brest-Litovsk. The eruption Is
only smouldering. What will be the
result when the people learn that
peace does not come from that con-
ference? II, in the last outbreak
there were over a million workers,
what will be the size of the next
one?
Turkey, too, is tired Of German
domination and from an army on the
way to Palestine under a German
general 10000 soldiers deserted
and native officers were outspoken
in their hatred Of the Hun general,
who, after three days reads the writ
ing on the wall and skedaddles for
Constantinople in disgust. Germany,
too, is torn by discord and the peo-
pie are getting tired OF the war. IF
another outbreak occurs in Austria,
what will occur in Germany? God
works in mysterious ways his won
ders to perform.
