through statements or utterances of any
city or state offictals in calling us un

for President Wilson."
The bollermakers did not continue the
Saturday shift through the day two

board had awarded a half holiday dur
the three summer months and a new ad

In Seattle it was reported the half

but later it was found it was for but
the first two Saturdays.

of the morale of the soldiers, and on the other the attempts of the high
command to counteract It
"In the space of a few days orders and proclamations from four dif

The Norwegian foreign office has been

American consul, unlike other allied of
ficials, has not even been placed under
arrest.
War department reports fail to show
that Americana are being massacred or
abused by. Bolahevikl. Quite the con
trary is indicated by some of the mes
sages. The state department has no con
firmation of the reported outrages
against Americans in Bolshevik con
trolled territory in Russia. It is ac
cepted that the situation there has not
been improved by the unmasking of the
fact that Lenlne, Trotsky and the Bol
ahevik agents are controlled by Oer
many. However, there is a feeling that
most Americans nave left Russia and
that the few remaining are well able to
take care of themselves.
