Bishop Tortured
And Murdered By
Bolsheviki Troops

Vladivostok, Dec. 14-(Correspond-
ence Of the Associated Press)-Bishop
Hermogen of Tobolsk was tortured
and murdered by Bolsheviki, accord
ing to a private. letter received here.
Since the early days of Bolshevism
the bishop had fearlessly denounced
their work and for this was forbidden
to preach. -.
The aged churchman defied the
Bolsheviki, and in his preachings dis
played greater energy than ever in
'condemning the Soviet authorities.
The Bolsheviki arrested him and took
him to Ekaterinburg. Thereupon the
population of Tobolsk province, who
greatly revered their old bishop, sent
a delegation to demand his liberation.
The Czecho-Slovaks at that time
began to occupy western Siberia and
the Bolsheviki feared to provoke the
peasants of 'Tobolsk >. They released
the bishop and started him back to
Tobolsk under escort of Red Guard
troops. A steamer was provided and
the delegation, headed by the bishop.
Fakrovsk village. Here they metz a
or White Guards. Rather than have
the bishop liberated by them, the Red
Guards decided to kill him. The old
man was beaten and forced to carry
heavy burdens of ammunition during
the flight of the convoy. When he
could go no further, says the infor-
mant, his %torturers tied a rock to his
feet and threw him into the river.
The body was recovered later by
his people and given burial in
Tobolsk.

MILITARY JUSTICE.

Springfield Republican,: If "our mil
itary laws and our system of admin
istering military justice are unworthy
of the name of law or JUSTICE" as the
president of the American Bar asso-
citation says. congress is primarily to
blame. But public opinion must be
depended upon to force reforms, just
as public opinion forced the abolition
Of 1ogging for minor offenses in the
navy. Some Of the court-martial sent
ences announced in the papers in the
past year and a half have shocked
public sentiment, but because war
was in progress no n has hitherto
ventured to protest in any effective
way. The American Bar association
is to be commended for making the
subject Of military Justice part Of the
program for its next annual meeting.
1t must have been noticed that when
ever a revolution has broken in
Europe in the past two years the rule
Immediately has been abolished that
privates in the army must salute their
officers. More enlightened systems of
military justice in such countries
might have prevented the bitter hat
red with which the rank and file
seemed to have regarded the entire
officer class.
To most Americans today it is very
surprising to have the president Of the
bar association say that the United

dispatch received here from the Ger

said:
"If we no longer have troops or
arms we have our rights. The Allies
are seeking to impose the will Of
stronger nations without taking into
account the rights Of Germany.
"Depriving Germany of. all her
colonies would contain a deadly germ
for the league Of nations even before
that league is born. We understand
it has been proposed to International
lie German colonies. We ought to
categorically repel such a proposition.

volcano Of Hawaii, my Neolin-soled
