BILLTAL MASSACRES,
These events were soon followed by the Fonrushing wave of blood "and" horror which engulfs every place overwhelund "by the hidevas Bolshevik tyranny.
alore than 400 offers were seized, and, in many instances followed by their wives and children, marched to the summit of the Malakoff Heights, the scene of the his- torid stand of the Russian army against the British in the Crimean Warl Here, un "the place of immortal memories of perished greatness, the Bolsheviks did their captives to death, afterwards filling carts with the bodies and throwing them into the sea. in order to deprive their families even of the consolation of having A grave to visit and tend..
This was the beginning of a series of massacres and Gendish cruelties which made Selmatopul a hell on warth, Any bourgeoisie were forbidden to leave the town; escupo was almost impossible. Officer hunts were regularly instituted through whole streets, in which every house was ransacked from roof to cellar. One's friends were done to death, and disappeared never to be heard of again. Hidingplaces were discovered, disguises torn off, men hunted from roof to root..
Some elderly officers or the highest rank and most prominent positions who had served their country for many years were saved alive. These, were given the caps and badges of street messengery and compelled to stand at the corners of the thoroughfares to run errands and mes sages at the orders of the passing soldiers and sailors, who would frequently spit in their faces and strike them for not hurry. ing sufficiently on some insulting commis-
were kept to clean the lavatories for the sailors.

A lady who managed to escape after the third-general massacre and the may- der of nearly all her relations, told me, among many other things, of the terrible fate of her next door neighbours, a young naval leutenant and his wife and two little children, aged six and seven re- spectively.
From behind her window-curtains she watched the Red Guard approach down the street and demand admittance to the house. Ressistance was impossible, escape cat off. The party entered, and in awful suspense she awaited events.
In a few minutes the raen reappeared, with their victim, the young öfficer, in their midst. He was dragged into the road and there shot, down. A moment later there was a sound of hurrying foot- steps and a woman's, despairing cry of heart-broken agony; the young wife rush. ed from the house, and throwing herself on her knees in the road clasped her murdered husband's body in her arms.
The Red Guard attempted to drag her away, but, half mad. with terror and grief she only clung the closer.
To end the scene the Bolsheviks ran her through with their bayonets and she fell lifeless on the stones by her husband's side.
EVEN THE LITTLE CHILDREN...
To complete the tragedy the two little children suddenly appeared on the scene, sobbing and crying, calling on their father and mother, and endeavouring to wake them from the sleep of death by tugging at their dead bands.
The Bolsheviks pulled them away add ordered them bome, but the terrified little ones only screamed the louder and held tightly to their parents' clothes. The Red | Günrd, irritated by these unexpected developments, beat the two children to death with the butt-ends' of their rifles.
Two days later the lady who witnessed these and many other atrocities, and whe lost most of her friends and relatione under circumstances of similar outraga and horror, contrived to make her escapal from this city of hell,, and reached Odessa in safety.
1.662 MISSING BRITISH PRISONERS,
STRICT ACCOUNT DEMANDED FROM GERMANY.
.
Mr. Churchill states in Parliamentary! Papers that all inquiries which have been made into alleged cases of prisoners of war being hidden in salt mines in Ger many have so far proved that such "stato ments are unfounded. If definite infor mation is forthcoming he will be glad to have such cases carefully investigated.
A list of the names of all British pri- soners of war not accounted for has been sent to our military representatives at Spa and at Berlin for communication to the German authorities, with a demand "that an account shall be given of every ALL kinds of TYURT SANDAL-WOOD! man mentioned. The list originally sent MOTHER-OF-PEARL AND SILVER out in February contained approximately WARES, WHOLESALE AND RETAȚI 2,000 names,, and this had been reduced to
-1.662 sames on April 23rd.

the Car more intensely at this moment than ever they wanted it before. The Car has reached the stage when its sales are almost automatically increased. By this we mean that one sale is almost certain to result in one or
two other sales..
There is a very pronounced and definite public opinion now in this country concerning the Dodge Bros. Car.
People seem to know that Dodge Brothers idea, from the very first, was that if they built the Car right, nothing else mattered. It is the quality revealed in
its performance which makes the price impressive." People are attracted by something more than price; it is the internal and external excellence which characterises the Car.
The high price it demands when sold second-hand increases the respect in
which the Car is held.
It would be hard to find a truer test of enduring worth. People are not eager

for used Cars unless they know that such Cars have before them a long life of satisfactory service.
And so the Dodge Brothers Car is bought, not upon price, but upon the quality and value that it embodies,

During the War food supplies were greatly restricted in the United Kingdom owing to the submarine blockade, and Bovril was so indispensable to the soldiers, wounded, and the people that it had to be retained in the British Isles, where it is made, or 'sent to the fighting fronts.
