British Say RIA Is
Reminder to Yankees
of German Air Raids

London, Aug. o.-The question
which is interesting the leading
officials of the air ministry possibly
more than any other regarding
the flight of the R-34 to America is
whether or not the Americans, on
seeing It, regarding the descriptions
in the newspapers and viewing the
moving pictures will get some idea
OF what we in England felt when
the giant Zeppellns came over this
country. not on a peaceful mission,
for the purpose of spreading ruin
but destruction in our large cities.
America has no large airships of
this type" said 1t. c. P. Robert
son of the air ministry department
of information. 1T has therefore
been impossible for the Americans
to properly realize just what could
have been done-and, in few
instances-by airships of this char
acter loaded with bombs.
There is no doubt that had the
war lasted a few months longer the
Germans would have tried their best
to get Zeppelin across the Allan
tic. 1t is certain that they were pre-
pairing to send ACCOMPLISHMENTS
across by submarines, and it might
not have been so absolutely impos-
sible as it sounds for them to send
ore of their dirieibles.
when the Americans see,
directly or by means of the moving
pictures, our big airship floating
over New York and thus able to
grab something of its size and
immense capacity for destruction,
they will much more readily appre-
ciate what a Zeppelin raid meant to
lis here"
Without attempting to detract in
any way from the feat PERFORMED by
Commander Read and his gallant
crew of the NC-4. the British air
men are very jubilant over the fact
that the first nonstop transatlantic
flight was made in a British aero
plane--under the operation of an
Engliskman and a American and
that the first trip from east to west
is being made in a British airShlp.

Toxic. Aug. o.-(By the Asso-
slated Press)-The project OF lay
ing another submarine cable line
between Japan and the United
States as a private enterprise with a
view to facilitate aud improve the
Geographic communications be
tween the two countries, is
reported to be making Roadway.
The plan is said to have secured the
warm support of Japanese govern
ment authorities and over 50 intu-
entail business men who are
expected to finance the undertaking.
The organization committee
headed by Kaichi Uchida, for
mer vice minister of communca,
tons; Baron Kumakichi Nakajima
and Baron Shibusawa. has entrusted
the investigation OF the technical
matters of the experts of the COM
murications department, professors
c the imperial university and the
engineers of the navy.
Four lines have now been sug
gested and Investigations are being
made as to which route is the most
available. One proposed route
would land at Vancouver, the other
three routes at San Francisco. Two
0. the proposed routes would touch
Honolulu.
The investigators say that the
number of words handled on the
Pacific cable during the past few
years shows a yearly proportonate
increase of about IS per cent.
About 100000 were carried i'll

ATROCITIES OF
TROTzKY ARMY
Beyond BELIEF
Autocratic Rule of Lenine
More Terrible Than Any
Since Time of Ivan,
the Terrible.
By ROBERT ]. PREV.
News Service staff COrre-
suonuent,


Paris, Aug. 9.-Grand Duke Mich
alos Nicholaievitch, the command
er-in-chief of the ex-czar's armies,
remains secluded in his retreat near
Genoa, Italy. He refuses to make
any statement of any kind on the
plea that as soon as he opens his
lips he will be accused of meddllng
in politics. He silently watches the
great drama still unfolding itself in
his country.
Statements are being issued from
time to time by his encourage, and
the latest is one by a prominent
Russian who has just arrived in
Genoa after spending three months
with Denekln's army in the south.
The Reds against whom Denekln
is fighting" he says, are still COM
hitting the most frightful atrocities.
Their cruelty is beyond all belief
In the kuban they first tortured
and then burned alive 90 priests.
Special treatment is melted out to
all captured officers. In the three
stars on their epaulettes-the mark
of rank abolished by the revolution
they drive three long nails clean
through into the shoulder.
"All the young women of from
II to 80 years belonging to good
families are treated as prisoners OF
war whenever the Reds march into
a town. They are detained in open
houses and notices are posted in
the camps that the troops may re-
gard them as common property.
Women over so years old are made
to work as nurses in fever hospitals;
only women of the lower classes are
allowed to work in ordinary surgi-
cal hospitals, where there is no risk
of infection.
"The Red Army cannot be treated
with contempt Trotzky I'M
doubtedly has the genius of organi-
cation and has stiffened his material
with Chinese, Let's and sailors, who
fight admirably. Aside from that,
the bolshevik troops are poor stuff,
and they lack competent officers.
They have only two good generals
Gutor and Klembovsky. Now that
the fine weather has set in for many
months we expect to rout them
completely.
There is no such thing as poll
tics in Denekin's ar1ny--monarch-
lists, liberals and socialists all serve
under the white. blue and red of
the Siav flag. those of our volun-
teers who came in under the Gar
list colors-black, yellow and white
having sacrificed for the common
emblem.
MANY of us are convinced that
there is no such thing as a Bolshe-
visit regime in Russia. A certain
number of bolshevists got the upper
hand of Kerensky; but Russia is
really ruled by an autocrat more ter
rible than any since Ivan the Ter
rible-l mean Lenine. Lenine may
be killed; but he will never give up
office, because he is a self elected
despot. His Let's, his Chinese and
his machine guns are capable Of
putting down all mutinies among
his other troops and any peasant
risings. His downfall can only be
brought about by ceaseless pressure
from the armies operating against
the territory he dominates"

fiict with that idea fixed permanently
in their minds as they were among
the last words which greeted their
ears when departing for overseas
duty.
We believe that the race question
is primarily question for this whole
nation-North, South, East and West;
that if the question is ever settled,
and settled right, 1t will require the
wisdom Of all Americans who stand
for a square deal regardless OF the
section of the Country from which
he halls.
We ask the question, "If the white
man North and the black man North
had refused to take the well defined
position upon the enslavement Of the
black man some sixty years ago,
what would be the status OF the
Negro of today? Could the southern
white man and the Negro have work.
ed out the question of the Negro
Freedom?
We believe that the people farthest
down In the scale of civilization
should accept, gladly all the assis-
lance they can obtain and from all
classes of persons who are willing
to render service for the sake of
human rights, justice and a peaceful
country.
We want it distinctly understood
that we are vitality interested In the
settlement of the race question; we
stand for a peaceful era; we be-
lieve in the right of petition and we
deplore our present condition but
we are working hard to bring about
the changes which will put us in
possession of all the rights guar
anteed us by the State and Federal
Constitutions and the State and Fed
eral laws.
We submit that we should not
be classed as flannel mouthed agi-
tators" because we want square deal
and because we believe in the doc
trine that the fores of hope should
not be closed in the black mans
face.
Respectfully submitted,
A. s. WELLS.
