SOVIET CHARGES GERMANY WITH > INDIFFEREN CE.
EXECUTIONS, TORTURES AND IMPRISONMENT.
(Times Cable). (Received This Day, 1.20 p.m.) RIGA, Sept. 8
Thes Soviet sent a note to the German Embassy at Moscow, reproaching Germany for insufficient energy in defence of Soviet subjects interned in China, and regretting Germany’s efforts being unsuccessful in terminating inhuman treatment, because it had been hoped that German goodwill would induce China to cease beheading, beating and chaining starving Russians, and relieve other hardships. The Soviet has information of the execution without trial of dozens, and the mutilation of corpses.
The note announces the Soviet’s intention of doing the same to Chinese in Russia. It declared that dozens of Soviet subjects iu Manchuria worg executed in the most barbarous fashion and their headless bodies thrown into Ijhe Sungari River. It further alleges that interned Russians ■were tortured and imprisoned under Insanitary conditions.
