Women Aid Reds
AS Executioners

HELSINGF0RS, June 28,-A ter
rible story illustrating the nature of
the war waged by the bolshevists is
recounted by traveller from Riga.
Towards the end of the bolshevist
rule in that city, before the Lettish
red leader, Stutska, fled on May %,
companies of women were formed in
the red guards. Their duty was to
carp out executions when the men
refused that dreadful duty. Nearly
100 executions are known to have
been carried out by these murderes
ses.
When the reds abandoned Riga the
women were dressed up as nurses

were arrested, as the presumption
was that they had been soldiers. II
found guilty of crime, they were

Panic and Rioting
In Dusseldorf
BY Gerlad Campbell.

COLOGNE, June 27.-In Dussel-
dorf Monday there was state of dis
turbance amounting in many cases
to panic during the last hours of the
time granted to the government for
deciding whether to accept peace
terms or not. Rumor was widely
spread that there would be refusal
and the allies would march into the
town in the evening.
The remaining government troops
were hurridly withdrawn, their place
being taken by civilian guards armed
and wearing steel helmets and there
was general rush to leave the town.
The Spartacist faction tried to release
the people shut up in the prisons.
The stations were occupied and all
traffic stopped.
Streets were patrolled by armored
cars and machine guns had to be used
ostop the rioting and looting The
irony of the position was that the
law-abiding inhabitants were so alarm
ed at the idea of what the allies
might do that they did not dare to
await their coming. They feared,
also their revolutionary conutrymen
and were at the same time anxious
for peace to be accepted and afraid
that it would not be. When at last
it was known that the terms were to
be signed the troops re-entered the
town and order was restored.
In Dusseldorf as in Cologne and
the rest of the Rhineland province the
governments decision had been hail
ed with a profound sense of relief.
Combined with this, there was of
course much genuine sorrow and a
feeling of humiliation. Today, if
never before, does Germany realize
the completeness of her defeat, though
the people themselves not only show
no outward signs of distress, but are
| should say, distinctly happier.

CBLENZ, June PA telegram
suggesting to former Emperor William
that he surrender himself to the allies
was sent to the ex7ruler today by a
Coblenz civilian. The message, which
was read while passing through cen.

"Kaiser William, hmerongen: ]
venture to submit to your majesty
that the proposed disgrace of the
German people might best be met by
the voluntary surrender Of yourself
and the military and political leaders
and advisers, thereby showing the
point of view that you have done
your duty to the Fatherland without
any blame being attached to you and
that God alone is witness and judge

N. Y. to Remain
Wet After July |

NEW YORK, June 2S.-New York
will not be wholly dry on July /,
regardless Of whether President Will
son acts before next Tuesday to set
aside the wartime prohibition law.
Six hundred liquor dealers, said to
have the backing Of the Lager Beer
Brewers Board of Trade, will con-
tinue to serve all kinds of drinks.
They will act on the advice of at
tofneys, who have pointed out that
there is no provision for enforcement
of the law, and who have registered
the opinion that it is unconstitutional.
They expect to hav test case rush
ed to court.
William H. Hirst, counsel for the
New York Society of Restauranteurs,
yesterday advised hotelkeepers and
restaurants to continue dispensing
drinks, but to conflne their sales to
light wines and beers in conformity
with President Wilson's recommenda-
ton to congress, in order not to ap-
pear to be defying the law. He plans
to have a test case brought into court
and then obtain the suspension of
the law by injunction, pending a de-
cision on tis constitutionality.
Liquor dealers continued to ex-
press the hope today that the Presi-
dent will set aside the law before it
becomes effective Tuesday, but a
steady stream of "booze" shoppers
was pouring into, the stores. At
Broadway and Forty-second street, a
15-foot sign announced bargains in
whiskey, wines and other liquors.
A crowd of eager bidders attended
the auction sale of the private liquor
supply of the late Nat Goodwin, the
actor. The sale brought $4,000.

ANOTHER CYCLOPS CLUE
BELIEVED TO BE HOAX

COLUMBIA, S. c., June 26.-An-
other of the many clues to the lost
collier Cyclops-all Of which so far
have been eXploded-turned up here
yesterday when the mother of Otis
Ramsey, a seaman on the ship, re-
ceived a telegram from New York
saying he was safe in this country
again" and that the missing vessel
was in a German port.
The navy records show that Otis
Ramsey of Columbia was a seaman
on the Cyclops and he is listed as
'lost at sea" with the ship. The
navy, however, knows of nothing that
would clear up the mystery.
. Officials think the message prob
ably a hoax, but as they expect to
solve the mystery some day, they are
carefully looking up every clue.

1t is sometimes said that golf is an
old mans game; yet the American ANA
teur championship generally goes to
youngish man and oftentimes to real
young man. So the expression that golf
is an old mans game is not exactly cor
rect. 1t is true that golf is a game which
can be played by old men without seri-
GUS physical detriment to them; and old
men do engage in the game because they
can devote themselves just as strenuous
ly to it as they desire; they can play
the game leisurely or with feyerish enthu-
siasm. But when il comes to a question
Of skill and stamina, the young men are
