CHINESE KILL RUSS
Captives Are Shot to Death With
Reviewers.
First Make Victims Dig Graves, Then
Execute Them for the
BoIsheviki.

Amsterdam.-The correspondent of
the Handelsblad, who recently re-
turned from a trip in soviet Russia,
gives the following account of his in
vestigations of the activities Of the
Chinese employed there by the boil
sheviki as executioners.
"Such horrible stories were being
told in Europe about these Chinese
that I thought it worth my while to
learn more about them. AS joke,
asked everyone who asked my opinion
Of the bolsheviki to show me some
real man-killing Chinese but always
was told they couldn't produce any
just now because they had all gone to
the Denikine front.
81 was told the Chinese, If COM
manded by their own officers were ex-
cellent soldiers, but they ran like hares
if their officers were killed. Execu-
lions are now very rare in Moscow,
but, in August, when thousands Of
Observation-Disclosures were slaugh-
tered, it was carried out by the Chi
nese because the authorities feared
the Russian soldiers would refuse to
do the work.
''The Chinese do this work indiffer-
ently-like they do all other work they
are ordered to perform. They are
blind, constituencies tools in the hands
Of the men who feed them and pay
them and who raised them from the
position Of coolies in which they came
to Russia to the rank Of soldier, Of
the guards.
IF the 'boltsjak' (his name for boil
shevik) orders something, the Chinese
does it, and he does it in his typically
practical way. He first makes the VIC
tim dig his own grave and then shoots
him with his revolver. He is not cruel
about it, just practical.
"When boltsjak says kill, then he
kills with an unperturbed face. And
when boltsjak says, You may stop
now with the same cool face he lets
his victim CO."
The correspondent after some weeks
in Russia left when he was refused
permission to make investigations
freely as he pleased.

Albuquerque, N. M.-That
prehistoric peoples Of New Mex
leo did a good deal Of irrigat-
ing is indicated by the remains
of canals and bitches found in
the state, as we'll as in other
parts Of the Southwest, accord
ing to 81. F. Robinson, head Of
the Indian irrigation bureau
here.
The remains Of III miles Of
bitches built by the Pueblo In
dams alone are to be found, and
there are evidences Of elaborate
water systems at the Salt River
valley in Ariz0na.s
These bitches were all dug by
hand, according to Mr. Robin
son, and clay banks and beds
were constructed where the way
lay over sandy plain, while the
method Of blasting through
rocks was to heat the rocks,
crack them with large stones
and remove them from the way.

Bloomington, 1nd.-There are rocks

they are, they have taken a special

fairly old-a billion and a half years,
