"RED" CONDEMNS
BRUTAL-MURDER
OF DUKHONIN
(By Associated Press.)
Petrograd, via London, Dec. 5 An
official announcement was issued to
day signed by Ensign Krylenko, the
Bolsheviki commander-in-chief, con
firming the killing by infuriated mem
bers of the Bolsheviki, of General
Dukhonin, former commander-in-chief
of the Russian armies, who recently
was deposed because of his refusal
to request German army officials to
enter into an armistice with the Bol
sheviki. General Duflhonin was -killed by
being thrown from a train after the
Bolsheviki forces had captured head
quarters at Mohilev, where he had re
mained after his deposition. .General
Korniloff, also a former Russian. conS
mander-in-chief, and who sometime
ago started an unsuccessful revolt
against the Kerensky government, fled
from Mohilev bafore the arrival of the
Bolsheviki forces.
The text of the communication of
Krylenko follows: .
Last Obstacle to Peace Falls.
"Today I entered into Mohilev at
the head of the revolutionary troops.
The headquarters was entirely sur
rounded with'oHt fighting. The last
obstacle to the cause of peace has. fal
len. , , jf
"I cannot be silent on the sad act
of lynch law practiced upon the for
mer highest commander-in-chief,
General Dukhonin. Popular hatred
surpassed the limits of reason, and in
spite of all attempts to save him
he was thrown out of a railroad train
at the Mohilev station and killed. The
flight of General Korniloff the day
before the fall of headquarters was
the cause of this excess.
"I caniiot allow the banner of the
revolution to be stained and it is nec
essary strongly to condemn such
acts. A revolutionary people are fear
ful in a struggle, but they must be
soft after victory."
Another report says General Duk
honin was dragged from a train in
which it was intended to send him to
i Petrograd and beaten to death.
Fear Labor Trouble in
St. Paul; Call Out Guards
St. Paul, Minn., Dec. 5. Eleven

tomorrow. A general strike in sym
pathy with union street car men is
expected as a result of the meeting.
The order calling the home guards

U.S. FRIEND OF REDS,
SAYS RUSS LEADER
Swedish Pro-Germans Elated
Over Reported Prospect That
America Will Not Back
.Entente in War.
(By Assoriattd Press.)
Petrograd, Dec. S Laon Trotzky,
the Bolsheviki foreign minister, has
taken the recent note sent by Lieu
tenant Colonel William V. Judson,
chief of the Americantmilitary mis
sion to Russia, to Ihe chief of the
general staff at Petrograd in an effort
to cultivate friendly relations with the
Bolsheviki government.
The note, in which the American of
ficer said he saw no reason why the
relations of the allies to Russia nor to
any influential part of its population
should not .rest on the most friendly
basis, is also commented upon favor
ably by Trotzky in Maxim Gorky's
newspaper, the Novaia Zhizn.
"A Splendid Measure."
The friendly relations which Trotz
ky assumes the note was attempting
to promote, would constitute "a splen
did measure, meeting the competition
of German and especially British cap
italists after the war," Trotzky said
today after commenting upon it.
Speaking before the soldiers' and
workmen's council, Trotzky dealt with
questions embracing the embargo, the
quitting of Russia by British subjects,
Lieutenant Colonel Judson's note and
the protest made by Major Kerth,
military attache to General Dukhonin,
against the Russian negotiations for
an armistice with Germany.
Americans Lost Their Heads.
"The Americans lost their presence
of mind," he said. "This alone would
explain the almost simultaneous ap
pearance of the two of the documents
the letter of Major Kerth to Gen
eral Dukhonin and the letter of Lieu
tenant Colonel Judson, his chief. If
you read them, you see that one ab
solutely conflicts with the standpoint
'of the other.
"However, this not the chief af
fair. Today there came to the Smolny
institute,- (The Bolsheviki headquar
ters), two Americans who have close
relations v the American capital
istic classes, who informed me that
the state of mind in America was cor
rectly stated in the letter of Lieu
tenant Colonel Judson, and not in the
letter of Major Kerth."
In the Novaia Zhizn, Trotzky com
ments upon Lieutenant Colonel Jud
son's statement that Russia was right
in its present position to raise the
question of a general peace.
"For the first time since tjic revolu
tions," he says, "we hear from the
lips of a representative of the allied
powers a sanction of the right of Rus
sia to bring forward the question of
peace, independent of 'victories' on
the front or the overthrow of 'Prus
sian imperialist!!.' The recogn:tion
conies somewhat late, perhaps, and
many will smile when reading how
Lieutenant Colonel Judson 'made a
virtue of necessity.' It is difficult to
deny a country the right of raising the
question of a general peace when it is
on the eve of a separate one. In any
case the words of the representatives
of America raise the hope that the
question of peace may be put on a
more solid foundation than has been
the case thus far. .
, A Matter of Diplomacy.
"I am inclined to believe that this
A straight line is
the shortest dis
tance between
two points.
n! r
state of affairs has arisen not because
of the platonic sympathy of America
toward Russia, of which American
capitalists wish to convince me. but
because after the events of the last
days the American diplomats have un
derstood that they cannot overcome
the Russian revolution and therefore
wish to cultivate friendly relations,
thinkine this would .be a snlendid
means for meeting the competition of f
German and Ln'glish capital after the
war." ,
Swedish Press Elated.
Stockholm, Dec. 4. The pro-German
press in Sweden is greatly elated
over the report that Lieutenant
Colonel William P. Judson, chief of
the American military mission to Rus
sia, paid a friendly visit to Leon
Trotzky, the Bolsheviki foreign minis
ter at Petrograd, and "asjured him
that Russia had a right to start peace
negotiations" and that "the time for
menaces against the Bolsheviki had
passed."
The Tagbladct, says:
Little Help From U. S.
"This means, assuming that Lieu
tenant Colonel Judson acted under in
structions from Washingtan, that the
entente may expect little help from
America in a war to the uittcr end."
Kven newspapers friendly to the
allies see in Colonel Judson's reported
action indications that "America in
clines to accept the consequences of
the Bolsheviki rule, and that France
and England will be left to carry on
the war alone."
The Russian minister to Sweden,
M. Goulkevitch is openly incredulous
concerning the report. He said he did
not believe it and believed that it was
either a direct falsehood- or had been
improperly reported over the Bol-sheviki-controllcd
telegraph wires.
The Petrograd Telegraph agency,
which is controlled by the Bolsheviki.
on Monday announced that Lieutenant
Colonel Judson had paid an official
visit to the Smolny institute," the Bol
sheviki headquarters and that
visit had caused a sensation in
tentc allied diplomatic spheres.

Washington, Dec. 5. It was learned
last night that in conversation with
congressional leaders before leaving
the capitol, the president said that the
Austrian declaration was advised
largely because it might be necessary
at any time to have American soldiers
aid Italy.
Italian Premier Pleased.
Paris, Dec. 5. The Italian premier
Vittorio Orlando, sends through The
Associated Press the following mes
sage to the American people, in the
course of which he says:
"The most alarming period of the
crisis may be considered as past.
Italy's soldiers, with admirable hero
ism, have succeeded in opposing tire
barrier of their breasts to the invader,
and behind her army stands the
Italian'people to a man, animated by
one single will and overflowing with
energy, now more than ever united in
the struggle and confident in victory.
"It is with the utmost joy that I
have noted the direct participation in
the intcr-allicd supreme war council
at Paris of authorized representatives
of the United States. Their interven
tion can only signify the cordial and
complete adhesion of their country to
the theory of a single front, and can
only affirm in the most tangible man

wills, the union of our energies and
means, the fraternity of our arms in
the face of the common enemy."
