Stockholm, Sweden, July 9.
Emanuel Nolde,' professor of inter-
national law in the University of
j'Petrograd, legal adviser to the Rus
' elan foreign office previous to the.
Bolshevist coup, and' assistant to
Professor Mllyoukov, when the lat-
ter wa foreign minister, escaped
over., the Finnish r frontier recently
while the Red guard fired at him.
Nolde called the other day at the
American legation here, bringing: new
information and confirmed much learned
J recently from other sources.
BEIGK OF TEBBOB COTTnririS
Professor Nolde says that far from
J abating: the red terror the Moscow au-
tKnrltlaa have resumed the moat dicta-
torial and repressive outragea Peters,
the Lett, who as chief of the espionage
J commission in Moscow has been the in-
stlgator of thousands of wanton mur-
ders, has been sent to Petrograd as
"chief of Internal defense." In other
words he is charred with the task of
cowing the population to submission by
J active brutality. He was given "un-
limited powers": and at the end of May
and the beginning of June no fewer
than 18.000 Innocent middle class men,
women and children had been jammed
into Improvised Jails in Petrograd and
9 declared to be hostages.
Among them were all the staff em-
ployes and servants of all the foreign
f embassies, legations and consulates, in-
eluding the American embassy. We had
no American citizens - in our embassy.
but guards and servants had been left to
protect the premises. - ,
BED CROSS PEOPLE JAILED;
Peters has thrown, into Jail even all
, the jmembers of the Danish Red Cross.
Our legation here has received confi
rmation from the Swedish foreign office
that the official left .In charge of the
'Swedish . legation in' Petrograd was
jailed. Professor -- Nolde says that the
red army discipline Is maintained merely
;, thy - terrorism. Its officers are -told that
; their families wUl.be jailed or 'shot if
' the officers desert. The men in the army
get an extra ration of half a pound of
bread dally as an inducement to remain.
Simultaneously with these wholesale
' Arrests of Innocent middle class people
th'e leaders are assuring the mobs that
a world-wide revolution- is on the point
t of consummation. Professor Nolde
J gives assurance that the Bolshevik!
understand perfectly well tnat tney nave
J no support, in .the, population which,
though - impotent from lack of arms, is
eagerly awaiting liberation at the hands
of the anti-Bolshevist forces converging
5 on Petrograd.
tnoSTAGES IW DAKGEB
J "i am glad that these liberating move
i raents have been delayed, so long," says
Professor Nolde, "for the delay has been
t necessary to demonstrate clearly to the
J peasants the true nature of the Belsb
- vist domination. '
Professor Nolde considers that It will
i be difficult to obtain the release of the
staffs of the foreign embassies, legations
1 and consulates as Peters Idea Is to hold
j them aa hostages for iU treatment and
i possibly executions In case sharp meas-
urea are taken abroad to stamp out
Bolshevist agitators and plotters.

CENSORSHIP OF PRESS
IN ITALY REMOVED;
BLANK SPACES VANISH
Political Matters Are Again Giv
en Attention and Violent
Attacks Are .Made.
By Tanered Zaaghler!
Fpeolal Cabl to The Journal and The Chicago
Daily News.,
(Ooprtisht, 191. by Chieaso Daily Newt Co.)
Milan. Italy. July 10. (Delayed) Since
midnight, without noise and without
tears, political censorship is dead. Last
night the newspapers - were relieved
from the burden of sending three proofs
of each page to the censorship bureau
before placing them on the press.
In the newspapers this morning noth
ing suggests the change in policy ex
cept ' the absence of blank spaces In
their columns and the publication of a
few comments expressing satisfaction.
The Secolo supports Idea Nazionale
in frantically - abusing rime Minister
Nltti, - using expressions of Incredible
violence. "Here you see the benefits of
the abolition of the censorship," says a
radical journal. "With opposition of this
kind Slg. Nltti will surely 'gain a ma
jority.- , i. :v
The reason for this nationalist hostil
ity is to be found in the suppression of
the manifestations - to Roma against
Nltti, the carbineers and police dis
persing the s mob which wished to hiss
under the windows of the new premier.
Jn reality this opposition seems to be
chiefly based upon the Imperialistic pre
tensions of Baron Sonnino, whom the
new minister rejected for remaining ob
stinate on the question of Flume. Nltti
is accused of : abandoning to the ini
tiative of the chamber the electoral re
form project, : as ' thus the reform will
drag along until the powers of the
chamber are ended. This reform is de
manded by all parties in order to cre
ate closer and better relations between
the country, and the chamber and above
all to combat corruption.

SLIGHT TREND AWAY
FROM ENTENTE SEEN
ON THE PART OF ITALY
Reasons Are Adduced Why She
Might Like to Renew Friendly
Relations With Germany.

Paris, France, July 18. The formation
of the Nltti ministry in Italy Is viewed
here as representing a !ight trend on
Italy's part away from the entente and
wwu-u mo sormer central empires.
It is not that Italy Intends by any
means to break with the allies. Indeed,
She reCOniZM that nrti artlnn . wnnlil
be fatal; but she seems to feel an eco
nomic need for a - rapprochement with
Germany, rather than with one of the
iurraer Austro-xiungarian states. '
PEETED" AT EKTESTE
Politically, she is deeply, dissatisfied
with France. Great Britain and the
United States. ? for what she considers
the niggardly treatment accorded her in
Paris. At best, she '-. occupies merely
fourth place in 1 the entente a place
which little corresponds $ to the new
sense of strength and youth consequent
upon her modern political and Industrial
development, --i-n, , i i - .
But in having- relatkmsv with. Central
Europe now that the Austrian empire is
uwu-uycu una mignc nave a real voice
and occuny. if not first, at leaat onnrt
rank. Moreover, -, the Nltti minister Is
liariicuiany preoccupied Wltn what - IS
considered the Slav peril." Where would
Italy seek a natural counterpoise for
this peril if riot in Germany? .

fith. Sinn Fein . member of parliament,
and one of the founders of the Sinn
Fein organization, strongly criticised Sir
Horace Plunkett's schema for dominion
home rule in Ireland in an ; interview
today; In Tiew of the fact that Mr.
Griffith is one of the chief directors
of Sinn, Fein policy, , his views might
be accepted as the official attitude of
the Sinn Fein organisation towards Sir
Horace Plunkett's proposal. -
- "Dominion home rule is, to use an
algebraical expression, equal to nothing
la Ireland," said Mr. & Grlfnth, "Do
minion home - rule, as desired by Sir
Horace Flunkett. is explained in a cir
cular -which seeks support on the pre
tense that Ireland wiU control her mili
tary and naval forces and foreign policy
ana wiu nave power to enter Into rela
tions 1 with other countries or appoint
representatives abroad to guard Irish in
terests. It makes Ireland liable for
England's wars, and i forces Ireland to
continue to pay .for the upkeep on Eng
land's army and' navy and diplomatic
and consular services. : This is not do
minion home rule. It is Irish repression.
