ACCUSE
BOlSHEvIK OF
TERROR REIGN
Say Germans Are Selling
Arms to Bolshevists- -Ad-
vance is Slackened.
tBy Associated Press)

WARSAW, Saturday, Jan. 18-Bol-
shevist troops have slackened their
advance at the Polish frontier. The
Germans are delaying their evacua-
ton of Grodno for several days, al
though General Falkenhayn has re-
tired to Suwalki and General Hoff-
mann has gone to Koenigsberg.
Polish leaders allege that Germans
are selling arms to the Bolshevists
under the pretense of aiding the So
ciety for Provisioning Ukraine in Lith-
uania and Ukraine. the Bolshevists
are issuing proclamations that they
have come to restore order. Dispatch
es state, however, that Bolshevist sol
diers have been seen carrying ban
ners inscribed with the words, Long
live the red terror and Death to
non-workers"
Men have been arrested at Wilma
and other places and have been releas-
ed later it is said. on payment of
sums ranging from 80 to $4,000 rubIes,
the size of the ransom being in pro-
portion to the terror of the victim and
his power to pay. The Bolshevists
are especially bitter against the Poles,
it being reported that the declaration
of a holy war against Poland by the
Moscow government makes it right
and duty of every Bolshevist to kill
the Poles as enemies of mankind. ;"
There are fewer burning houses than
formerly but it is charged that where
houses ere spared their inmates are
slain. ''We have saved the nest but
destroyed the BIRDS is remark at
tributed to one Bolsheyist leader.
Miss Shebeko, sister of a member
Of the imperial council, succeeded in
escaping from Mohilev and has reach
ed Warsaw. She says that she, with
two aged auntss were. driven from
their home, which was turned over to
peasants. They were allowed one tiny
room from which the lock of the door
had been removed. A few bits OF fur
niture were given them, she says. with
the admonitiOn: "YOu must unfer-'
stand that this belongs to the nation"
They considered themselves fortunate
as many of their neighbOrs were mas
sacred she declared Two brothers
living in Serdowski were tortured to
death and their wives and little chill
dren were mutilated, according to her
story. The officer of the Polish leg
ion who went to visit Serdowski is
alleged to have been murdered be-
cause he wore epaulets which are for
hidden by the Bolshevists. Miss She
beko says that this murder aroused
the Indignation of certain Jewish
members of the local soviet. She says
the sentence was finally approved
when it was learned that the officer
knew how to read and write. One of
the speakers at the hearing was re-
ported to have declared: There will
be perfect equity in the world only
when nobody knows how to read and
write"
Miss Shebeko says that many we'll
bred women in Russia have commit
ed suicide through fear of outrage.
Many of those escaping from the coun-
try are disguised in old clothes and
hide the marks of refinement on their
hands and faces with dirt.
