"Russia la fust bleeding to doath
through a reign of (error which U
worse than that of the French revo
lution, and it la time the nation of
the earth came here to put down one
of the world'a greatest evil," Presi
dent Nlcholaa Tschulkovsky of the
provisional government of the north,
told a correspondent of the Associ
ated Pre today.
"It Is no longer a question of poll-'
tint," be continued. "Inelde the Dol
ahevlk line the altuatlon la wome
than the French Telgn of terror. Vlc
tlma executed now must be counted
by the ten of thousands. All hair
splitting political reason an! do. the
world must know that the Bolsheviks
are no longer even a party, but are
bow merely a Ifroup of men deter
mined to hold what they have seised
by the merciless alaughter of those
who oppoee them.
' "It la now only the question of
putting down an evil.' person es
. raping from Moacow, Potrogratf and
Volgoda and reaching here bring In
disputable stories of the execution.
The situation seems beyond the con
trol of aome nolshevik leaden who
thnmeelvea are revolting at the blood
shed." President Tsbalkovsky mid he re
cently cabled to President Wilson
urging the immediate dispatch or
more troops.
"Nothing can bring Russia out of
this chaos until the Bolshevik terror
has been quaxhed by the force of
arms," aald Tachalkovsky. "The
force now here ia unable to do this
qulrkly. Meanwhile hundreds, are
dying dally. ,
"The world must understand that
Bolshevism, like Imperialism, Is a foe
to democracy. It Is In Russia a mere
dictatorship, a group of men holding
away by. force of arma. They scire
every straw, falsifying logic to Justi
fy themselves. As an example they
now declare that the proposed loague
of nations Is only another scheme to
rive power to the bourgeosle against
the working men."
Perhaps the world will naturally
ask what Russia Is doing to help her
self," aald Tachalkovsky, "and I can
only answer that we are doing; our
beet. A recent example is the reor
ganization of the government of the
north. Now every party and every
class Is represented. Forgetting pol
itics they are turning their efforts to
ward putting down the Bolshevik
evil. We are mobilising our forces
out the allies must help."
President Techalkovsky Is a so
cialist. (

111 GOLD FOUND
IH BALKAN STATES
Country Rich In 1mhiIU of Gold
Sliver, Copper, Lead, and Other
Valuable Minerals
Home, Oct. 21. (Correspondence
of the Aaoclated Press) "The min
eral deposits in the Balkans are of
such extent that the Serbs, Bulgar
ians, Greeks and Rumanians may
make tbe peninsula immensely rich
after the war it they quit fighting
and settle down to business," aald
the Rev. Francis Jager, of Minneapo
lis, who spent eight months with the
allied armle doing American Red
Cross work!
"Why, the principal pastime of a
lot of the French soldiers there was
washing out the gold from the river
bottoms. The mountains are rich In
coal, copper, tine, lead, gold, silver,
Iron and oil. This Is particularly
true of the territory claimed by the
Sorbs. Last wlntor the soldiers
about Monstlr kept themselves warm
by digging coal. I saw one group of
soldiers dig holes two feet down and
strike a six-Inch vein of coal, and on
digging further down they struck a
vein which did not give out after a
depth of 1 ft feet.
"In going about among the poor
families of the country I frequently
found them In possessions of pieces
of almost pure gold. They told me
they had picked It up out of the beds
of nearby streams."
LISTLESS ATTITUDE
Merlin, Nov. 16. (Delayed) Af
ter a week of revolution, Berlin
streets have the appearance as on
any Saturday during the war. The
mass of the public appears anything
but excited over the future progress
of events.
' A llxtlem attitude of the middle-
clan element In the early stages of
the revolution Is typical of the
apathy that prevails.
News of the American relief tcm

the political drama.

Typical of the experience of United
State army aviators, whose fleld-to-
fleld flights in the central and east
ern part of the country are expected
to make up an interesting chapter
In the history of American aviation,
I that of Captain F. M. Bartlett who
flew from. Fort Scott, 111., to Kelly
Field, 1,700 mlles through sunshine
and storm.
. This story of Captain Bartlett's
difficult flight Is given by the United
States committee on public Informa
tion. He covered the 841 miles 'between
Bellvllle and Clark., field, Memphis, j
Tennessee In 8 hour and 5 minutes
at an average speed of 110 miles an
hour, favored by a stiff wind from
the Great (Lake and at an altitude)
of between 7,000 and 9,000 feet. On
the second leg of the trip between
Memphis, . Tennessee, and Payne
Field, West Point. Mies!, wishing
to stop for lunch, he. descended and
was close to the ground over an
abandoned race track when, he sud
denly found the air so thin he knew
he could not. get oft this ground
once he landed, He had difficulty in
getting back, to the, upper currents
again but by following a flock of
bird which flew; in ascending circle,
he secured enough altitude to con
tinue. Approaching West. Point tine
air was again encountered, but. over
this town he ran into an electrical
storm and was forced to descend.'

This pretty little city of Belgium

brought deliverance after 50 months
under the yoke of the Boches, who
left it so little ahead of the Ameri
cans', entry that some of them were
overtaken.
Truly, to these Belgians, America
is God's country; for it represents
to them not only their saviours, their
rescuers, but the nation which has
fed them for four years. With tear
in their eye they assured me today
that they would have starved to
death had it not , been for America

declared they would 'be slave of the

The following statement from

gon bureau of mines and geology, at
Portland, will be ot Interest to those
engaged in the development of
chrome properties:
"Word is Just received from Wash
ington -that pending the arrangement
of certain details In connection with
the administration of the war min
erals act it is very important that
the present statu of all leases or
contracts in relation to the, chrome
industry be , maintained; . without
change. It will doubtless be for the
beet Interest for all concerned in the
chrome industry that all leases or
contracts which have heen In force
during the past few weeks or months
and which, may have expired should
beo voluntarily renewed. , It is not
probable that new nronertiea nor
new owner of old 'properties will be
able to receive benefits under " the
provisions of the act."
