CHINESE EXECUTIONS..... In the House of Commons, Mr. C. Harmsworth, replying to Major Sir S. Scott, said that accurate statistics in regard to the number of men, women, and children murdered by the Bolshevik Government in Russia were at present" unobtainable. It was known, however, that the number of victims was very great The Foreign Office was credibly in- formed that the Bolshevik Govern ment were employing some of their considerable force of Chinese to act as executioners, and bodies of Bolshevik victims which had been recovered showed that they died under torture, but it was uncertain whether it was the work of the Chinese or the Bolsheviks themselves.
AN UNFOUNDED ALLEGATION. Colonel Wedgwood (C.L., New castle-under-Lyme) asked the Secre tary for War whether he would cause inquiry to be made as to the Bolshevik allegations that the Russian Officers Volunteer Corps, which was assisted by the Allies, flogged fifty two workmen to death in the Briansk mincs, and that other workmen were threatened with execution if they refused to work.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer was considering in what way he could deal with it in the forthcoming Budget.

Although the regulations appear to .be quite clear regarding the grant of the Silver War Badge to Merchant Service captains, officers, and seamen who have been incapacitated from following their profession by injuries or illness caused from circumstances arising out of the war, officers have on several occasions, experienced considerable trouble in obtaining the badge. Several cases of the kind have been dealt with by the Imperial Merchant Service Guild, as when in any difficulties in this matter, as in the majority of others, members turn to their society for assistance. The Secretary, a little while ago, received a Communication from a captain member, who had been obliged to resign his command in one of the first class companies out of London, owing to illness brought on by service at sea during the war, and who had made frequent applica- tions for the Silver War Badge, but without any definite result. The Guild at once took the matter up, and a little while ago a letter was received from the Government department which deals with these matters, stating that it had been decided to grant the Badge to this member, and the Secretary is also in receipt of a latter from him stating that the Badge has been duly received, and thinking the Guild 'for their assistance.
