 the execution of the ROmanOff
 ey, General Paris said:
 Early one morningi the cZar was Ken from an upstairs room and stood ainst the wall in the basement of e house. There he was shot, but
 before his wife and daughters had hn mistreated in his presence After
 t the czarina was shot and then daughters and other members of

 A few days following the murder
 bodies were taken under cover of
 Int by automobiles into nearby will
 es--where they were cut into small
 ces and burned separately. The

 Burned Clothing found 'sRemains Of the Burned clothing O were found. Proof that the gar .uts were those of the ROmanOffs Is given by the diamonds which the arina and her daughters wore and aich were picked up. Apart from this ere was ample evidence that the rned bodies and clothing were those the royal family.

Blood stains I've been washed from the floor. Un- IF the flooring, however, little pools . blood which seeped through cracks ' the Moor were found
 Everyone in Russia is thoroughly nvinced the entire ROmanoff house Id was slain by the boIshevists- The ficial reports sent to France were inclusive.
 .t'The czar and his family are dead. nat is positive"
 Priests Frozen to Death f'The shooting of the Romanoffs was garded as a humane killing by the llshevists. They probably wished to sow some consideration for royalty d this tragicaI murder was show consideration in their warped aims. f'But the priests-many were ripped of their clothing and stood right in especially constructed xes filled with ice; thus they were pzen to death Others were thrown lked on spiked blanks Many were -capitated. In many ways, incon- ivable to the average human mind, 1 ey were massacred.
 f.And some people are advocating l D bolshevists be recognized as the | pst democratic government in the [ brld.' f'The bolshevists in control of Rus today will never be recognized. se socialists, the reasonable ones,
 worthy of some consideration But | stbolsheviki-they are destructive ialists and must go down" When General Paris arrives in fance he VII not only urge imme- afe allied intervention in Russia 1 Twill ask that the peace confer l Ice make a settlement in regard l 2 the control of the Siberian Alway. The allied commands in Si- ria have no confidence in each | her, he said, and the existing fric- ] n over the transportation question l helping the bolsheviki cause.
