CALL TROOPS, MOUNTED FORCE TO MILL STRIKE AREA
DEATH SENTENCES
GIVEN TO ELEVEN
DONETz PLOTTERS
Communication for Six Is
Recommended

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., July g.
After deliberation of forty-eight
hours sentences of death have been
handed down on eleven of the half
a hundred citizens of the Soviet
Union charged with sabotage in con-
nection with counter-revolutionary
activities in the Donetz coal fields
and other sections of the U. S. S. r.
Of the eleven men sentenced to
death, the sentences of six have been
recommended for communication.
Less severe sentences, i'm proper
ton to the degree of criminality Of
the various sabotagers, have been
passed upon the other defendants.
These are chiefly terms of imprison-
ment.
, Several of the Russian prisoners
have been paroled by order of the
court and, Of the three accused Ger
man engineers, two have been ac-
quilted while one has been paroled.
The sentencing of the eleven sabo-
tagers concludes trial which has
gripped the attention, not only of
the Soviet Union, but of the entire
world, for weeks. The seriousness
of the offense and the ramification
of sabotage organization has aroused
the workers throughout the world
and led to the belief that the govern
ment would demand the severest SEN
tences to put final end to similar
treachery on the part of its techni-
clans.
Generous Politician.
BERLIN, July 6. The German
section of the League for the Rights
of Man has prepared petition to
the Soviet government urging that
a number of the engineers convicted
of sabotage and counter-revolution-
ary activity in the Donetz basin be
spared the death penalty.
A second petition, which is repor-
ted to be in preparation, is signed by
Heinrich Mann, celebrated German
novelist, and several other notables.
