Special cable in today's issue Of

can Red Cross. is Ill and starving
in a Russian dungeon and is threat
ened with torture and death because
he struck a Bolshevist commissioner

In prison accused of spying"
1t tells of other Americans held
as prisoners. Thos. Hazleton, of
San Francisco. who was captured in
Siberia, is now in an insane asylum;
Mrs. Margaret Harrison. a Baltimore
newspaper reporter. two moving
picture operators, Esty and Flick,
Royal c. Kelly. a Pittsburgh en-
gineer. and " z. Kilimsutin, of the
University OF Chicago. are still held
prisoners and doing hard labor in
various parts Of Russia" It adds
"All the French. British and Italia n
prisoners have been released"
Why it is American prisoners
have not been released along with
the others mentioned: Are we SO
poor in spirit that there is none 70
do US reverence? Shall American
citizens be allowed to rot in foreign
prisons while citizens Of other
countries are freed? What is the
matter with our government that
IL does not demand a fair trial or
their release? 1t is enough to bring
the blush OF shame to every loyal
American. Oh! for an Andrew Jack
son. Grover Cleveland or Teddy
Roosevelt. Americans would NOT
appeal in vain to either Of those
robust. sturdy statesmen. The Eng
lish flag is respected in every
quarter Of the globe. and ours
should be.

would be nearer thirty than three miles. Ships
fight at twice the distance. If It is to prevent
blockade running, it was forgotten in this last

Rumors that are exceedingly dis.

Saturn is in an aspect threaten.
