servants of the church which latter
it was the announced Intention of tae
bolsheviki to exterminate.
The evidence disclosjs almost I'M
thinkable atrocities. A blacksmith, by
economies, had attained shop. He
was required to pay 5000 rubles; be-
cause he could not, he was shot. A
man was shot because he lived In
brick house. All attorneys and jurlsts
were killed, and doctors, whose serv-
ices were not required for the moment,
were disposed of in q similar manner.
A woman whose husband and two
sons had been seized applied to the
commssar for information as to their
fate. She was told they had been
taken to Perm. After repeating her
visit several times she vas Informed
that if she bothered the commissar
again she would be shot, as they had
been.
The body of a woman was exhumed
and identified in the presence of the
Americans as the wife of a general
through jewels sewed in the lining of
her clothing, of which relatives were
aware. Another woman was compelled
10 fetch lamp and gaze upon her
murdered sons for the amusement OF
the slayers.
A wife required to pay 1000 rubles
for the release of her husband Dor
rowed 800 and paid it over; later she
returned with the remainder, and then
was informed that her husband had
been shot. There were scores of SINH.
lar cases All were killed without any
form Of trial.
The soviet called meeting and pre-
pared lists Of those to die. The houses
prescribed were visited by squads, the
doors were smashed in. and the vic
tins dragged to the edge of the town
and forced to dig their own graves
Those who resisted were shot I'm the
streets.
A survivor testified that he had seen
men thrown into a pit and buried
alive. This testimony has been con-
firmed by bodies exhumed, the clenched
hands of which were clinging to the
mud at the bottom of the pit.
The only spark of humanity discov-
able was that in confiscating the be-
longings of the residents. In some in
stances where there was family Of
small children, the family was permit
ted to retain one COW out of several.
Occasionally peasant was allowed TO
keep his worst horse.
The bolshevlk attitude toward the
church was uncompromsing. Priests
were hunted numerically. The evil
dence showed that men were slain
whose only offense was that they
worked as sections or caretakers Of

pIish this without spreading disease,
I'm the face of all the attendant dan
gers, required, of course, such close
care that the wisdom of some phases
Of the inspection system may not have
been always apparent to all concerned.
With swine moving by carloads and
trainloads from producing areas into
public stock yards of the country, says
the statement, the pens of such yards
are inevitably infected with the COM
mon swine diseases, of which cholera
is the most important. Owing to this
condition federal regulations formerly
required the slaughter of swine re-
ceived, but after the serum and virus
treatment against hog cholera was
standardized the possibility of reship-
ping immature hogs for further feed
ing resulted in modification Of the
rules. Under the plan now in force
swine properly vaccinated and disin-
sected may be reshipped for any pur-
pose, including breeding.
ImmuDiZing hogs against cholera is
a veterinary procedure, including the
preventive-serum treatment, taking of
temperatures and observing the condi-
ton of the animal during the test
period. Necessarily the official regu-
latiOns are of technical character, and
II has come to the attention of the de-
partment of agriculture that in some
cases the rules have been misinterpre-
L. Al
sible for fuctuation in the stock-hog
market.
For the information of the public,
the bureau of animal industry outlines
briefly the method of inspection:
All public stock yards are consid-
cred To be infected and swine are,
theref, re, exposed to the contagion
from The time of their entry into the
yards consequently 1t is important
that they be immunized promptly af-
ter arrival at such yards, to protect
them against contracting the disease.
For that reason the department OPP
poses the immuniZation of swine that
have been so exposed for more than
I'VE days. Hogs, though they may not
show physical symptoms of cholera,
may In some instances be affected with
the disease to such an extent that i'm
munization will not protect them.
1t is not permissible to immunize
swine for immediate shipment inter-
state if they show symptoms of con-
tagiOus or infectious disease.
If considerable percentage of the
animals in lot is found to have high
temperatures, the possible presence of
such disease is indicated and the ami
mails are not immunized or permitted
to be shipped interstate. 1t Is possible
to have hogs with high temperatures
as result of conditions surrounding
the shipment to market in which case
they will return to normal within a
sheft time.
