TOWN OF 10000 PERSONS
DENUDED OF MEN BYFIRLNG
SQUAD OF THE BOLSHE WIKI

Omsl1 April Saturday, by the AS
sociated Press. )--Indisputable evi-
dence of the massacre by the Bolshe-
wiki of more than 1000 civilians in
and near the town of Osa, has been
obtained by Messrs. Simmonds and
Emerson and DR.. Rudolph Teusler, of
the American Red Cross, who have

other reoccupied Russian territory
Approximately 500 persons were killed

Osa, which had population of 10,-
OO0 was so denuded of males by the
Bolshevik that General Casagrande,
upon the occupation of the town, was
obliged to telegraph to Yekaterinburg
for men to administer civil affairs.
In addition to securing verbal and
documentary evidence the Red Cross
officials witnessed the eXhuming of
scores of victims from trenches. The
murCers were without provocation,
and the victims were largely of the
thrifty and intelligent classes or serv-
ants of the church.
The evidence discloses almost un-
thinkable atrocities. A man was shot

A wife, required to pay thousand
rubies for the release of her husband,
borrow eight hundred and paid it
over; later she returned with the re-
mainder and then was informed that
her husband had been shot. There
were scores of similar cases.
The soviet called a meeting, pre-

The Bolshevk attitude toward the
church was uncompromising. Priests
were hunted numerically. The evil
dence showed that men were slain
whose only offense was that they
worked as sections or earetakers of
churches.
In the Perm district everything of
value was stolen from the churches.
In some places the schools continue,

branches of study being dependent

(By Morning Journal

(By the Associated PresS.)
A sharp forward stride toward an
early peace has been taken. The
council of four IN Paris has formally
invited Germany to send delegates to
Versailles Aur!l 25. there to hear the
verdict of the entente allies and as
sociated powers and the sentence they
have imposed upon her for having
set the world aflame.
The general opinion in Paris seems
to be that Germany may endeavor to
haggle over the hard terms and try to
secure diminution in their severity,
but that within relatively short
time the delegates will bow to the in
evitable and sign the compact. Ad-
vices from London are to the effect
that the terms of the peace treaty will
not be made public until they have
been delivered to the Germans,
Tho expectation IN the FreRch capt.
tai is that President Wilson will re-
main in France until the peace treaty
is signed and bring back the com
pleted document to the United States.
Adriatic Question Next.
The Adriatic situation as It affects
Italy and Jugo- Slavia is now the
chief point under consideration by the
council of four. Arthur j. Balfour,
the British foreign minister, is acting
as alternate on the council for David
Lloyd George, who Is on a vacation to
England.
Pending the conclusion of the
peace agreement Germany is to be
permitted by the allied governments
to purchase surplus stocks of their
raw materials This has been decided
on by the economic council. The de-
cision will permit Germany I'd com

GERMANY SEEMS MADHOUSE

PRESENCE OF A LARGE ARMY

ditions continue to grow worse daily.
Time Is fighting on the side of the
Spartacans. This is perhaps, the fa-
tai weakness of the governments su-
perficially strong position today
A general strike of the Berlin bank
clerks started today, threatening
paralysis of local business. otherwise
Berlin was quiet.
Discipline Is High,
The loyalty of the volunteer army
to the Ebert government rests on
three factors. The Praetorian guard
is being well fed and well paid, and
the spirit of militariSm survives in the
old officers and non commissioned Of
ficers' corps. This results in high
standard of discipline in the new
army whose fighting efficiency is in
creased, perhaps, by the fact that the
old autocratic military harshness has
been softened by the new democratic
spirit of the times,
In Magdeburg the political and gem
eral strike is still on. but the garrison
is divided against itself
Meanwhile the Munich soviet is en-
thusia3tically promulgating ordi-
nances for Immediately CommuniZing
Bavaria. All the mines in Bavaria are
to be socialized Immediately. All bus
mess enterprises are to be placed at
once under communistic control All
housing, likewise, is to be under com
munistlc control. dwellings are to be
apportioned by the state. Progress is
reported also in the specialization OF
money, In future the Bavarian banks
must pay depositors a maximum of a
hundred marks daily tabout S23) or
seven hundred marks week (about
Sl6D, except for payrolls authorized
by the soviets. Local soviets will con
troll the prices of rooms and food
supplies in hotels and boarding houses.
Purely Local Affair.
In the face of all rumors, the fact
is that the government is much less
worried over the situation in Bavaria.
It's reaction on the rest of Germany
has been much less than was expect
ed. That the Munich soviet has brok-
en- off relations with the Ebert gov
ment causes little concern, as tho
Munich revolution is considered a
purely internal Bavarian affair.
The situation in the Rhenish- West
phalian industrial region is slightly
more hopeful, for the government sees
the strikers and Spartacans beginning
to waver. particularly since they lave
received no encouragement for revo-
luton in Berlin. Essen has become
the chief fight center, but the loyal
volunteer corps In Essen predicts the
ruthless suppression Of Spartacanism
in the Rhenish- -Westphalian theater OF
war before the end of this month.

the indication are that the proceed

that President Wilson can remain for

This was the view of the presidents

was called to the reports in French
papers that his departure had been
fixed for April 2S. 1t was declared
that no such intention had been
formed, and that the progress on the
main questions gave promise that the

its work carried through. though pro-

LUMBER TO COST
MORE, SAYS HEAD
Of PINE M|LLERS

Chicago. April 15.-Charles S.
Keith of Kansas City president of the
Southern Pine association and widely
known as statistical authority of
lumber, told the legislative commits
sion investigating the high prices OF
building materials today that the
present high prices of lumber is
lower than it will be at any time in
five years. He said the increased cost
of production. depletion of raw ma
terial in this country and the enor-
nous increased demand from Europe
to rebuild the vast areas devastated
by war are certain to mean high
prices for lumber for at least four
years.
Mr. Keith said that in April, 1917,
the average cost of producing south
ern pine lumber was S15.1S a thou
sand feet, while the cost IN January,
1919, had Increased to $25. 50. Last
January the commodity was sold by
the manufacturers at loss. the wit
ness said, while the present profit was
a trifle over 50 thousand feet He
presented a survey of the cost of pro-
duction at ninety-six southern mills
which he said should earn a profit of
SO a thousand feet in order to bring
fair return on the actual capital In
vested.
although the lumber mills in the
south are paying their workmen un-
usually high wages our experience has
shown that the standard of living has
not increased and labor is much less
efficient than formerly" said Mr..
Keith.
1T seems to be a peculiar trait of
human nature that the more money
a man earns the less work he will do.
That rule / believe, applies to all
classes of men, office employees, su-
perntendents and laborers alike
THAT is rather an unfortunate de-
duction to draw" remarked Chairman
John Daley. I'VE have been under
the impression that higher wages to
labor brought higher degree of eff
ficiency In fact one of the largest
Chicago contractors said that had
been his experience"
II am drawing my conclusions from
actual experience of the lumber mills
based on figures taken from the
books and therefore there is no theory
in what | say" replied Mr.. Keith.

SIMMONS THINKS
WORLD IS FACING
LUMBER FAMINE
Declares Unprecedented De-
nland Is to Be Made Be-
cause of Rebuilding DevaS-
tated Areas of Europe,

Chicago, April 15.--Roger E. Sim
mons. who was sent to Russia in 1917
as member of a United States gov
ernment commission TO study the lum-
ber situation in the war devastated
countries, and who was taken prisoner
by the Bolshevild government and at
one time sentenced to be shot. told
the legislative commission Investigate
ing high prices of building material,
that the world was facing a lumber
famine
Prices of lumber he said, were GER
cause of the unprecedented demand
which would come from the recon
struction of the war-stricken regions
of Europe. The major portion of this
lumber, he said, would have to be sup
piled by the United States and Canada
Canada already has an order from
the British government for one bill
lion feet of lumber, while this country
has received orders for one million
feet of oak by England and twelve
shiploads of lumber for Italy.
Mr.. Simmons. who spent Is months
abroad studying the subject, said
Russia, which before the war export
ed So per cent of the worlds lumber
supply, would not be in a position to
cut lumber until five years after the
government had been stabilized and
order restored Austria and other
countries which exported lumber be-
fore the war are In q simil1r position,
be said, so that the present burden
of supplying this commodity would
have to be borne by the United States
and Canada
He told how the Bolshevik govern
ment in attempting to natiOnalize in
dustry had ruinedthe lumber business
in Russia. He said the failure was
due to lack of organization and in
telligent leadership. When he left
Russia last December, all the 1900
saw mills in the country were aban-
doned. The workmen had stripped
the plants of machinery and sold 1t to
the Germans for money with which
to buy food. Every other industry
he said had suffered in the same way.
Prices for lumber in Europe he said
were 40 thousand feet higher than
in this country.
Replying to questions by members
o fthe commission regarding the fu-
ture of Bolshevism in Russia, Mr.. Sim
mons said
"Bolshevism is Ike a scourge, which
must run its course. | believe that
eventually 1t will fail because of its
brutal injustice and immortality It
is the greatest menace to real democ-
racy that the world has ever seen"
