Clergy Murdered

AT the beginning of the bOlshevik
| publicly expressed the
opinion that not even Il German would
hold converse with a bOlShevik. AS
a Russian constitutiOnalist il is COM
pletely inexpiicable tn me how any al

Complete Tyranny.
Those who imagine that there can
be any pact between the forces of civ
iliZation and bOlshevism have no con-
ception of the real state of affairs in
Russia. The most moderate form of
restoration of order and liberty in
Russia would make the existence of
bOlshevism impossible.
"Bolshevism is complete tyranny.
which is absolutely incompatible with
any form of ordered liberty and con-

There was more law and justice under

London.-Murders Of clergymen
constitute the latest feature of Dol
shevik terror in Russia, says Prof.
Peter Strive. a distinguished Russlhn
economist. who has escaped from hus-
STA and arrived in England after MD
ing from the bOlsheviki for months IN
Moscow and after long journey Oh
foot to reach safety in Finland.
He was compelled TO disguise HIM
self TO escape death at the hands or
the adherents Of Lenine and TrOtzky.
Professor Struve was representative
from petroglad in the second duma
and a member of the assembly con-
,voked by Alexander F. Kerensky.
Ten 5shops Shot
Altogether ten bishops had been
shot and many priests murdered and
the dean of Kazan cathedral and his
two sons were drowned in the Neva
by the red soldiers" said Professor
Strive. Near KOtlas, all the monks
in one monastery vert shot TO death.
Professor Kartasheff. minister Of reli-
gion in Kerensky's government, who
has escaped into Finland. says that
the present persecution of the church
in Petrograd is only comparable with
the persecution of the early Chris
tians.
In Moscow all the shOOtings take
place at night, but III Petrograd the
victims of the bOlsheviki are shot in

SIDNEY E. MANNING,
Corporal, Co. G, 18TH Infantry.


Corporal Manning received the Dis
tinguished Service Cross for CgnSpicu-
Gus gallantry near BreuvanneS, France,
July 2S, 1918. Corporal Manning was
in charge of an automatic rifle squad
during an assault by his battalion on
the strongly fortified heights overlook
ing the Ourcq river for the purpose Of
exploiting the successful passage of
the stream. During the advance on
the hill his platoon commander was
killed and just as the crest was
reached the platoon sergeant was
wounded. Corporal Manning then as
sumed command of the platoon, which
was near the center of the asSaulting
line and was meeting with desperate
resistance. Though he himself was
severely wounded and was the only
survivor of his squad. this soldier led
forward the 80 effectives remaining in
the platoon against an enemy strong
point which was wired, intrenched and
defended by machine guns and dUmi-
mated the entire Ourcq valley. He was
repeatedly wounded, but he succeeded
in getting .fOothOld at this strong
point with but seven men remaining
with him. While the latter cOnsOlidat-
ed their position under his direction,
with the platoon on the flank. he held
off a considerable number of the enemy
so yards away by fire from his auto
matte rifle. He remained in this POSI-
ton until the entire line had been con-
sOlidated, when he crawled back To
shelter, having received nine wounds
