United States Consul mt Omsk Relates
Horrors OF BOlSheYiSt Rule.

John A. Embry, the American con-
sui at Omsk, capital city Of the Kol-
chak government, arrived In New
York recently and told the othclal
story of what had happened in Siberia
and. eastern Russia in the last eight
months, during practically all OF
which time he had been in charge OF
American affairs.
Mr.. Embry said no language could
nicture the atrocities that nave
marked bolshevik rule in the terri
tories recaptured by Admiral hol-
chalk, reign of terror that nad peell
marked, he declared, by murder
violation Of women, theft, and arson,
perpetrated with cruelty unparalleled
i'm the history of civilization. re,
I'VE were on our way to the Uta
front, the southern sector of the
Siberian front. My first stop was az
the little county courthouse. There
learned that at sunset on the Jay
that the Kolchak forces withdrew the
bolshevists had entered the city.
"The first thing the bolshevists did
was to loot the town, and then they
ORGANIZED their government. At the
head they placed the most cruel and
outspoken of their leaders. They
then appointed committees, one OF
them the so-called extraordinary COM
mittee on investigation.
The judges, the aldermen, me
councilmen and other leading citizens
that is, those who had not been
able to escape-were promptly ar
rested, and all OF those who were
known to be against bolsheYlsm. or
to night
into the public square and executed
They were denied trial of any sort.
81 talked with woman teacher.
The bolsheviks lined UP all the boys,
the little ones as well, and questioned
them as to their sympathdes. All
who were not killed were put to work
Of the most mental kind.
THE school girls were ordered to
serve in the barracks, the reds ours
ing and beating those not blessed
with good looks. AS for the good
looking girls, to use the words OF
their former teacher they suffered
insults Of the most horrible nature
"They also named many hostages
and after subjecting them to the most
horrible treatment killed them ana
threw the bodies into the river.
'kEuan Is city OF perhaps oo,VUu
people. The boIsheTiks murdered at
one time more than 1900 citizens OF
the place.
I'm Bugulma a large number OF
men were thrown into the hold or
barge in the river at night. There
were 90 persons in the hold, among
them Nine. Sophia Hedrofskaka, the
principal of the girls high school. &
1.-THE barge was lowed long dis
lance down the river and during the
voyage nine prisoners were ordered
to the deck and none ever returned,
nor mad any or them been heard from
hp to the time left for America.

Business Women Increase Divorce.

Portland, Ore.-Women who are
loath to lose their independence
and who continue working after
marriage in the positions held before
they wed are fertile source Of sup
ply for the divorce courts, if statis-
tics kept during the last ten days by
Presiding Judge Gateps, Of the Cir
cult Court, have any bearing on the
general situation.
He granted fifty-five divorces i'm
that time and in thirty of those cases
the women worked before and after
marriage. In only seven instances
did the woman who had been en-
ployed before marriage give up her
work because of her own desire and
at the request OF her husband.

ARRESTS FOR VIOLATION
STATE GAME LAW
State And Federal Authorities Co.
Operating to Break up Shooting Of
Wild FOwl-Penalty Before United
States Court Will Be Severe.

States Court viii Be Severe.
Upon Information received at the
office of State Game Warden E. Lee
LeCompte, in the Munsey Building,
Baltimore, on Wednesday, July 16,
Deputy Game Wardens James Tenn
pie and William T. Collins were sent
to the marshes in Hurley's Neck to
investigate the report that ducks and
wild fowl were being shot there.
: As the result of their investigation
MessrS. Ware Hurley and Hyland
Jones were arrested pom the charge
Of shooting wild fowl during the
closed season, and also for hunting
without license. Yhey appeared be
fore Police Justice " Murray Suli-
vane recently and Mr.. Hurley was
found guilty and fined $50 and costs.
Mr.. Hurley, through his counsel, V.
Calvin Trice, Esq, took an appeal to
the Circuit Court. Mr.. Jones,
through his counsel, also Mr.. Trice,
prayed a jury trial, and gave bond
for his appearance at the November
term of Court. States Attorney
Marine prosecuted the case for the
State, and State Game Warden Lee
Compile and Deputies Temple and
Collins were present representing the
State Game Warden's Department.
There have been numerous re-
ports to the effect that shooting was
going on in the waters and marshes
OF this county in violation both Of
the State and Federal laws. and the
State Game Warden's Department il
determined to break up the practice.
In order to break up these violations
State Game Warden LeCompte has
recently stated that it is his inten-
ton to turn over all such complaints
and cases Of persons found shooting
wild fowl before November list, to
the United States Court for prosecu-
ton.
III there are any such persons, any
where in this county, they will do
well to cease the activities at once,
o. breaking the laws of the United
States constitutes a much more
serious Offense than the breaking of
local laws, a. the government knows
no friends nor enemies in prescott
ing violations of the law, and the
penalties imposed in the United
States Courts are much more severe
than those of the local courts.

Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis Gross, of
Goldsboro, York county, have re-
ceived a letter from their son,
George. who is located at an evacu-
alton hospital in France as cook. He
wrote just after the armistice was

Gross has done a good deal of
travelling through France and Eng
land, and he says, II might as well
see Germany" He also expects to
get peep at Belgium and sail home
from there.
II have lots of things would like
to send home, but fear I shall never
get them to you because there is
strict orders MOTTO let anything leave
the country. We are having much
trouble with the spanish fiue and
pneumonia here and l tell you there
are many, many boys from the
states who will never come back,
and most of them who do will be
cripples the rest of their lives.

and beautiful sights; some awful
ones. We are now loading trucks and

to buy automobiles, but the large
percentage of the public are not of a
mechanical term of mind, with re-
suit. it is only natural for them to
go to a man whom they had conf
dence in spending the initial price
of the car to look after their wants,
because an automobile is nothing
but q piece of machinery and they
naturally must have attention from
time to time.
The average 1ayman can be in
structed and tutored to the minor
adjustments of motorcar in very
short period of time, but some OF
the more intrinsic parts need the
care of an experienced man. so 1T is
with no reluctance that the motor
car dealers who couple service With
their selling shall reap a full share
of their efforts. and serve the pub
lie to his full capacity.
The businessman who knows how
to apply his own earning capacity
cashes in on only one-half of his pos
sibilities. To realize his full posi-
bility he must make money.
The above statement only en-
phasizes the word service, so that
to-day when we look about us we
see that those motorcar dealers who
are reaping q large share are coupl-
ing their selling capacity with that
of money by having a succcessful
and efficient stockroom as well as
service station.

ARTICLE NO. 4
By L. H. HAGERLING

lNote.-The following articles are
being written exclusively for the
Harrisburg Telegraph by L. II. Hag-
ernng, president of the Hudson
sales Agency and will appear regu-
larly as feature of the Automobile
pages every Saturday. Read every
one of them. There is a connecting
theme that will prove valuable to
every owner and prospective owner
of an automobile.l
a few years ago the public bought
n motorcars from a standpoint
of pleasure, but to-day the So
called pleasure car Is termed pas
senger car doing o douhIe duty.
1t may act in a capacity of pleas
ure car for family use, but in very
large number of cases, the same car
is used by the head of the family
during business hours for business
purposes, and so to-day we find this
passenger car industry coupled to
the truck industry, as occupying the
third largest industry in the world.
We may ask ourselves the secret
that is back of the growth of so large
a business, which has developed in
SO short a period, and believe 1 will
be safe in confining. that secret to
one word and that Is service.
The automobil dealers who cou-
pie service with selling of motorcars
and trucks stands decidedly in Ia
vor with the public.
