DUN's REVIEW

NEW YORK, April 18.-Dun's to. morrow will say:
 With all its lack of uniformity, commercial news gives tangible req son for encouragement an doptimism, and even poorest reports suggest no basic weakness. Considering the for midable problebs of readjustment, it is far from strange that sharp con- trasts are still presented, nor do the divergent conditions in trades and in. dustries obscuhe the fact that the main movement is steadily forward. Where the gain is merely slight and unconvincing, or where none what ever appears, the retarding elements are both economic and political in character, and it becomes increasing ly clear that the broader business de veloping waits largely on the actual consummation of the peace treaty It is significant, however, that whereas spscial stress was recently put on the various uncertainties and ob- stacles now the emphasis is on the hopeful and constructive aspects, and the change of sentiment marks a dis

Coming Events
 Cast Their Shadows
Prepare Now to Withstand the cri.is.

Do not anticipate with a shudderlng dread the beautiful event Of childbirth. You can avoid discomfort during the period and strain at the crisis by preparing your system and putting yourself il splendid condition to meet the time.
 For just this purpose women ell ever tho lend, in every walk of life, have used for oyer half century the time -honored and famous remedy, Mothers Friend. It is pre- pared to give the mother-to-be that direct help she needs. The muscles, nerves. ten donS and cords are made and kept soft and elastic. Thus strain is avoided, and as a result nervousness, nausea, bearicg-down and stretching pains are avoided.
 The abdominal muscles expand easily and gently when baby is born. Naturally, pain is less and the hours are fewer. The system iS prepared and the crisis is one of much less danger.
 Write the Bradfeld Regulator Company, Dept M, Lamar Building, Atlanta, GeorCia, for their helpful Motherhood Book. and ob- t6ln bottle cf Mothers Friend from the druggist today. It Is just as standard as anything you can think of.
 And remember, there is nothing to take Ins pIace of MOTHERS FRIEND.

RED VICTIMS BURIED
 FIFTY IN ONE CRAVE

RENAL, Esthonia, April 1S.-Stor ies of 50 bodies buried in one grave, five of them women, skulls crushed by the bolsheviki, the victims bayo- net-pierced and mutilated, the remains stamped down by the heavy boots of the Red Guard, are being told to Els thonian authorities.
 The Esthonians have cleared a DOT tion of their territory of the Red terror. They have begun to gather official reports of the ruthlessness of the invaders. And the stories they are told rival any before related in four years of warfare.
 The grave of 50 bodies was the larg- est of a number around Wesenberg which were opened in the search for evidence. The story of the murders was told by A Munstrum, who es- capped from his bolsheviki guards.
 ''FIfty-six of us were led to the place of execution" he testifies. 'The grave was already dug, long trencn. Half of the victims including six wo- men were lined up at the side of the trench The women were to be shot first. One tried to escape. Red Guards shot her and she sank to the ground wounded. They dragged her by the feet to the grave shot her again and showed her in. Then they stamped on her body until she was silent. The others ware shot and tumbled into the graves. Then with the butts of their rifles and their bayonets the bolsheviki finished them off and they trampled their bodies down. When they lined up the next lot managed to slip away"
 Investigators identified Al of the 50 bodies taken from this grave. One was the Baroness Wrangel of Wesen- berg. Another was a sister of mercy The skulls of 33 had been shattered The clothing had been taken, even to the boots.
 In Dorpat similar stories were told. Bodies of 16 victims, dropped through holes in the ice, were recovered.
 Arm and legs had been broken, skulls fractured, eyes put out Twenty were killed in Dorpat with hatchet blows and bombs in the cellar of a bank Among them was Archi bald Platon, a University professor and gray-haired clergyman, says the Esthonian report. The cellar resemb led shambles.
 A report from Ellister says before | three peasants were killed their eyes were put opt, their noses smashed their bones broken and their skulls | flayed.

SWISS OPPOSE WAR
 CLAUSE OF LEAGUE

BERNIE, April 1S.-Switzerland is anxious to be member of the league of nations, yet she doesn't fancy one of the essential duties of membership, military action in case of a violation of international law. The reason for this is the strong German element in fears revolt if Germany should be the offender against the league. On the other hand, should France offend, there is strong Romanic element in the Swiss population which would ob- ject to marching against France.
