EXPELLED BY REDS.
JOURNALIST WHO CRITICISED. Hew Paul Schaeffer, the Moscow correspondent of the Berliner Tageblatt, has been expelled from Russia, according to reports received here. His articles during the past three years had caused the Bolsheviks to regard him as the most friendly correspondent in Moscow. Recently, however, he had been writing reports freely criticising the trial of the Donetz Basin engineers. He was also charged with using diplomatic couriers to carry his despatches out of Russia, so avoiding the strict Communist censorship. Since March his articles had shown Germano-Russian relations in a more and more pessimistic light, and the Moscow Press had repeatedly warned him that pessimistic reports from Russia were not permissible. He was told to change his view point or leave.
