CHINESE KILL RUSS
Captives Are Shot to Death With
Revo'vers.
First Make Victims Dig Qravts, Thsn
Execute Them for the
Bolshsvlkl.
Amsterdam,---The correspondent of
the * I lander-bind, who recently re
turned from a trip In soviet Russia,
fives the following account of his In
\r.siIkhilens of 11??? activities of the
Chinese employed there l>y tlie hol
sheviki as executioners.
"Such horrible stories were belnjj
told In Kuropo about these Chinese
that I thought It worth my while to
learn more about them, As a joke, I
asked everyone who asked my opinion
of the bolshevikl .(?> show roe some
'real man-killing Chinese,' but I always
was told- they couldn't produce any
just now because they had all gone to
the Denlklne front.
"I was told the Chinese, If com*
manded by their own officers were ex
cellent soldiers, but they ran like hares
If tholr officers were killed. Execu
tions are now very rare In Moscow,
but, In August, when thousands of
counter-revolutionaries were slaugh
fered. lt was carried out by the Chi
nese because the authorities feared
the Russian soldiers would refuse to
do the work.
"The Chinese do this work Indiffer
ently?like they do all other work they
are ordered to perform. They are
blind, conscienceless tools In the hands
of the men who feed them and pay
them and who raised them from the
position of coolies In which they came
to Russia to the rank of soldier, of
the guards.
"If the 'boltsjak' (his name for bol
shevik) orders something, the Chinese
does It, and he does It In his typically
practical way. He first makes the vic
tim dig his own grave and then shoots
him with his revolver. He Is not cruel
about It, Just practical.
"When holtsjak says kill, then he
kills with an unperturbed face. And
when boltsjak says, 'You may stop
now,' with the same cool face he letp
his victim go."
The correspondent after some weeks
In Russia left when he was refused
permission to make Investigations
freely as he pleased.

Albuquerque, N. M.?That
prehistoric peoples of New Mex
ico did a good deal of Irrigat
ion Is Indicated by the renialns
of canals and ditches found In
the state, as well fs In other,
parts of the Southwest, accord
ing to H. F\ Robinson, head of
the Indian Irrigation bureau
here.
The remains of 217 miles of
ditches built by the Pueblo In
dians alone are to be found, and
there are evidences of elaborate
water systems at the Salt River
valley in Arizona.
These ditches were all dug by
hand, according to Mr. Robin
son, and clay banks and beds
Were constructed where the way
lay over a sandy plain, while the
method of blasting through
rocks was to heat the rocks,
crack them with large stones
and r?*inove them from the way.

THERE has never been any doubt In the pubik
mind about the fivcpassenger Paige Glenhrook.
From the very first it 1ms been acknowledged?and
quite properly?as setting a new standard of values
in Iignt Sixes.
It appeals especially to those who have acquired
.the new American habit of thrift: ? who believe
that true economy consists in getting the greatest
values for the least money.
#
By this we do not mean that the Paige Gflenbrook
is, in any sense of the term, a cheap car. Its value
is emphasized not so much by its conservative price
as by the large measure of comfort and satisfaction
received jh return for the sum invested.
Because of noteworthy developments in chassis and
motor, this five^passenger Paige is a car of out
standing mechanical excellence. And ks advanced
body design has endowed it with a roominess and
comfort that are truly exceptional
