VIRGENIANG ENROLL UNDER TIL

Eight Thousand "Ghouls" Said to
Have Joined Order TO Keep Whites
on Top.
Richmond, Va, Oct. 6.-rhe hand
of the Imperial Wizard has at last

county in the State is now under

In Richmond 1t is more than TIL

Grand Dragon. Not n single member
OF the Khan Is known. Every meet

most care. There Is no solicitation
for membership.
No one not born III the Knitted
States is eligible in any way to mem
bcrship. No Catholic can become a
mcJber. No Jew is allowed in tho
organization.
Avengers Of the wronged" appears
to be the phrase by which the new
Khan may soon be known. Although
so far as is known here the order In
the ontire South has so far commit
ted but one illegal act, it has made
deep impression on both the white
and colored races here. Appeals for
protection against the shadow Of the
organization have already been made
by superstitious darkies in several
places.

Petrograd Soon Will Be
Deserted CITY. Figures Show

Berlin, Nov. 7.-Petrograd will
soon be a deserted city, mere
memory of the past like Troy or
Carthage, according to figures in the
Deutsche Medizinische\ Wocheil-
schrift." The death rate i'll peace
time in Petrograd was far from low;
in 1914 1t was 22.5 for each 1000 pop
ulation. In 1916 the figures increased
to 23.5, in 1918 to 43o and in 1919
74.9 persons died of every 1000 resi-
dents.
If the rate of 74.o is really Is to
80 per cent below the truth, as reli-
able medical reports indicate, the
death rate in Pctrograd has reached
the appalling ratio of 100 persons OF
every thousand, or 10 per cent.
In Berlin the death rate is 1876, in
London 95, in Stockholm 10 and in
Amsterdam 8.4. of every 1000. Ac-
cording to this, Petrograd's death
rate is seven times that of Berlin and
ten times that of London. Hand in
hand with this steadily increasing
death-ratc is an extraordinary de-
crease in the birth rate. which has
dropped from 204 births for each
thousand in the year 1914 to IS to
the thousand in 1919. You can
figure for yourself how long it will
be at this rate Until Petrograd is a
deserted city.

Compers Brandof
Unionism Scored
Republican Leader Says Labor
Chiefs Aims Are "Monopo,
listic and Dominecring."

Chicago Tribune Omaha bee Leased Wire
Washington, Nov, 7. - Samuel
Gompers' brand of unionism was de-
nounced as exclusive, monopohstic
and domineering," in statement is
sued by former Senator Jonathan
Bourne, jr.. president OF the repub-
lican party association. The state
ment was significant as indicating
the trend OF sentiment among many
republicans, in view Of the election
results.
an press dispatches recently. Mr..
Gompers was quoted as saying plans
of certain employers to injure un-
ionism have strengthened the de-
termination Of the~workers to resist
a hundred fold" Mr.. Bourne said.
"The trouble with Mr.. Gompers is
that he cannot distinguish the leg:ti-
mate activities of unionisHl from the
dictatorship which he would set
up.
THE unionism which he proposes
is exclusive, monopolistic and domi-
neering. His policy is one of rule
or ruin. His plans, if fully success
full, would be destructive of the in
dependence of the individual. and
mark the end of that competition
and rivalry which are the stimula-
ton of all industry and production.
The cruel autocracy OF Mr.. Gompers
transcends anything dreamed of by
YaDacious monarchs."
