5000 ARRESTED
IN SOVIET SPY
DRIVE, is CLAIM
Number of Execution
Victims Uncertain
CcopyriEht, 1887. by Intsrna tionaI
News SOrvics)

LONDON, Sept. 16.-Out Of the
welter Of rumor and report that
for months has spread from Mos
COW and elsewhere regarding the
true extent Of Dictator Josef
Stains drive against spies and
wreckers, one salient fact emerged
today.
This is-and its authenticity is
vouched for by well-informed
travellers who have seen the Soviet
Unions anti.espionage army in
action at first hand-that no less
than 5000 persons have been ar.
rested since Stain declared war
upon his internal enemies six
months ago.
How many Of this number have
been executed Is debatable. But it
Is q fairly conservative estimate
that one-half Of them, Or $500
persons in all walks Of life from
army generals and provincial
commiSSars down to minor civil
servants and obscure collective
farm officials, have been marched
before firing squads to pay the
supreme penalty.
There are three types Of spies
which Stain and his aides believe
are now active in the q. S. S. r.
And which must be wiped out If
Bolshevism is to survive.
They are foreign military spies,
Trotskyite spies (this group in
Guiding wreckers and so-called
diversionists) and capitalistic
Spies-those who try to discover
Russian manufacturing methods
and inventions for the benefit Of
some foreign power.
The list of men and women who
have been either eXiled, i'm
priSoned or executed for allegedly
conSpiring with one or more
foreign powers to overthrow the
Bolshevist regime is an imposing
one and includes a great many Of
the old revolutionary leaders.
This last point gives rise to the
general belief held anon g
travellers from Moscow that the
spy scare originated, not from
any actual fear Of Japan or Ger.
many, but from the Kremlin's own
dread Of an organized internal
movement against itself.
