14 SEPTEMBER 1918, Page 2

The Bolsheviks have made no reply to our Government's stern

Note demanding satisfaction for the murder of our Naval Attache, Captain Cromie, and the sacking of the British Embassy. On the contrary, they have, it is feared, placed under arrest all the British and French Diplomatic and Consular officials and private residents, while allowing the Americans, Italians, Belgians, and Japanese to leave the country. Like wild beasts at bay, the Bolsheviks are now massacring indiscriminately all their political opponents in Moscow and Petrograd, and in this Red Terror our countrymen and our French friends are exposed to the gravest. danger. M. Lenin and his accomplices have played their last card.
