RULE
 IS DESCRIBED
 AS REAL HADES

Kiev, Nov. 14-(By the Associated Press)-Bodies of victims executed by the Bolsheviki during their occu- pancy of this city are constantly be- ing found and the first estimate of 1000 is evidently much below the real total.
 Three Irish girls, Eva. May and Eilesen Healy, who lived in Kiev dur ing the last six months of Bolshevist rule, gave the correspondent an ac- count of Bolshevik operations.
 The autocracy of the Romanoffs, with all it's evi,s." they said, was paradise compared to the Bolshevik hades we have been living through.
 'The last few months, when the majority of the members of the Kiev Committee of Public Safety, were al ways under the influence of drink or drugs, transcended all conceivable awfulness. After every meeting. huge heaps of empty spirit and wine bot ties and scores of morphine and CO caine bottles were found.

BRITISH STRIKE SETH EAfENT WAS
 BLOW TO REDS

London, Nov. 14-(By The Asso- c1ated Press)-The speedy and peace fui settlement of the British railway strike was a sore disappointment to Russian Bolsheviki. They hoped that 1t would develop into open revolu- ton. That was shown by a wireless message that was transmitted from Petrograd with compliments to the British railwaymen." It stated:
 We the railwaymen of Red Petro- grad have heard the news of your general strike with joy and enthusi- asm. You have broken the chains of civil peace. You have declared war on your government. You must pass from general strike to an armed rising. In order to improve your economic position you must first de- strOy the present imperialist order of things and substitute for it a govern ment of workers and peasants. Do not allow the leaders of the old trade union school to get at the head of the movement as they will betray you at the last decisive moment. Victory is yours if you fight to the end.
 As to ourselves we will fight until the whole world is covered with red flags. Down with the League of Ma tions. Long live British soviet power"

pressed against his nostrils. When all else failed his uniform was stripped from him and hung out on a bush ill the forest.
 "BilI' was not "peeved," and ex plained to his friends how it all hap pened. Early last evening he waa sent in the police flivver to invesi- . gate a Case which may be heard in the domestic relations court. He hastened over the dark country roads to the rural district near the forests and ponds of North Reading. On his way a pretty black and white pussy attempted to cross the road in front of the speeding motor and was struck and wounded. Before the animal rambled into the brush to die-if it did die-it retaliated.
 The busy policeman forgot this in |. cident and returned to duty at the hall after disposing Of his prisoners, and so it was that the veterans at the hall discovered the secret ir "BilTs'' life.

DUAL CITIZEN
 QUESTION GIVES
 HAWAII TROUBLE

Honolulu, Nov. 14 - A movement looking to the abolition of the dual citizenship of Hawiian born Japanese has been launched at an Hawaii Civic convention, on the island of Maui. Resolutions were adopted asserting that there are in Hawaii a large num- Der or children who, under the laws of the United States are American citizens and, under the laws of the empire of Japan, are potentially citi- Zens of Japan. The convention de- clared, ''there is room in this terri tory for men and women who are either citizens of Japan or the United States; but no place for those who are citizens of both countries
 The convention recommended to the commission of the Hawaiian gov ernment which is going to Washing ton this winter, that it take up with the proper authorities in Washing

NOT MUSTARD GAS
 BARRAGE, AFTER ALL
But 1t Nearly Broke Up a Show
 at Reading.

Reading, Nov. 14.-An incident of the Arnistice Day and welcome home celebration for the returned veterans of the World War almost broke up the festivities in Security Hall Tues day evening, and is the talk of the town.
 Hundreds of soldiers and sailors were seated in the hall enjoying a vaudeville show, when suddenly the performers began to strangle, and the act was stopped. Instantly some- body screamed gas masks and there was a surprised stir among the veterans, who soon began making wierd faces and to exclaim "whew." Some hastened to leave the hall into the fresh air. A doughboy cried, ''The Huns are sending over a mustard barrage.'' By this time everybody was busy striving to locate the origin and cause of the disturbance and everybody was suspiciously gazing at everybody else.
 Finally Patrolman "BilI'' Manning was made the brunt of the com plaints and he was given orders by his superior to depart and report at once at the police station. After he left the hall the show was resumed and the dancing and other enter tainment continued throughout the evening with much merriment.
 The story of how PatroIman "BilP' Manning almost broke up the show soon was circulated among the vet erans, and everybody enjoyed a laugh at his expense. Occasionally one would ask, What did they do to him ?" and the reply would come l across the hall, Hes buried alive up to his neck
 ''BiII'' went from the police sta. ton to fire headquarters and to sev- eral of the drug stores. He was drenched with perfun.ery, deoderiz. |. CTS and sweet-sn1 cling powders,

committee sat before a cage with wooden bars reaching to the ceiling. The prisoners were marched through the cage to be reviled and sentenced to death. Afterward they were stripped naked and carted off to the slaughter house.
 Another committee conducted its proceedings in the open air in a beautiful garden. The judges sprawl ed over table and pronounced death sentences wholesale, drinking cham pagne in the intervals.
 "One woman over 50 years old VIZ arrested and taken out several sue cessive nights to a firing wall againS which she was placed while shots were fired around her head. This was done to extract information as to the whereabouts of an officers son whom she didn't even know. She was finally executed. A priest was cruci- fied.''

dent, and Minister of Finance, told the witness, according to the tesu- mony, that he had received a tele- gram from Carranza threatening to start a revolution if the accounting was insisted upon.
 My personal opinion is" said the witness, that the majority of mili- tary men that have supported Car ranza and are still supporting him do not wish the state of turmoil to cease, because if such happened a great part of their income would stop, as is known and has been even pointed out in the Mexican newspap- CTS that back up or are in favor of Carranza.'
 In connection with the financial and industrial situation in Mexico Mir. Mitchell testified that when Diaz resigned the presidency of Mexico he left 63,OO0,0OO pesos, ($31,5OO, ,00O) in the treasury, that when Madero was busted two years later there were between three and four hundred thousand pesos. that in the mean time there had been no public works as Diaz had created, and that since the accession of Carranza no public works of any magnitude have been carried on. In fact, he said, the steel work of the great legislative palace in Mexico City, put up by Diaz, was now being torn down and sold.

W;esbaden, Nov 14-Many cities in Europe are now given up to festivity, but it is doubtful whether the present gaiety at Wiesbaden is exceeded any where. This city has often been call ed the gaT-st in the world, and the season is now in full swing.
 Enormous sums are being spent upon decorations. For example, some $12,5OO was expended recently on the floral decorations of the famous ball room in the KurlIaus for one even ings entertainment. The orchestra and bands playing about the city are among the finest in Europe.

into all her old white petticoats. many
Of them left over from the previous
vogue for narrow skirts And now
narrow skirts are In again.
II Is not such a difficult matter to
make a petticoat narrower as II Is to
make IL wider. Indeed. sometimes a
worn petticoat can be used for another
season in a narrower form. because
the worn section can be cut out.
With the new street suits the we'll
dressed woman wears a very simple
petticoat. In many cases II shows fiat
tailored seams and no ruffies. but in
stead a scallQped lower edge. Some
times the scallops are buttonholed and
sometimes they are bound with a bias
band of silk. Jersey petticoats OF a
heavy quality material are made in
the same way. They are also made
with a scant. shaped fiOunce applied
below the knees. Satin petticOats. with
not very full plated fiounces. are. like
wise, a very good investment. 1t Is
possible that you have an old satin
frock containing a petticoat Of this
sort. II you have, rip IL and then wash
and iron II before making IL over.
Be careful in cutting one OF the new
petticOats not to get IL too narrow

point often causes a petticoat to ride

petticeat down where IL belongs is to

road to being really well dressed. Un-
fortunately. few women. except those

INTEREST IN EVENING DRESS
With the Trying Days Of War a Thing
Of the Past Women Are Dressing
In Gayer Clothes.

More interest is being taken In the
question Of evening frOcks Just now
than at any time since America en-
tered the war. During the trying
months of the war women were too
thoroughly occupied with really seri-
Gus interests to spend either time or
money on apparel for formal functions,
and as a matter of fact there were
few social functions that were not of
a SemipatriOtic or philanthrOpic ma
ture, so that simple cOstuming was
considered in the best possible taste.
All women agreed, however. that they
must continue to dress well in order
that the pSblic morale might be kept
in a healthy state and the ail-the-day-
through frOck was by all odds the IA
vorite outfit.
Now that the war is over and sol
diers are returning by the thousand
every week. social festivities are TAX
ing on. new lease of life and the
regulation evening gown Is in de-
mand. Women In full evening dress
are seen AT the theaters and life
everywhere is sounding a gayer note.

SHOW PREFERENCE FOR SUITS
Trend Of Business Indicates That Coat
Will Not Be Generally Fa-
vored Garment.

at is difficult Mt this early date,
said an authority in the women's
ready-tO-wear industry, ito predict
whether this is to be coat or n suit
season. The fact that buyers for the
large retail stores Of the country have
shown a slight preference for suits In
their later business might be taken as
an indication of what Is and is not to
be. but the purchasing public Is, after
all. the final arbiter In such matters
And. In this respect. IL is reported that
retailers have disposed Of more suits

would seem TO show which way the
fashions are going, but then fashions.
