It was that the recent assertion of the soviet government that an American mission,1' headed by "General Morel." had been captured by their troops was founded on the capture of Kilpatrick. Kilpatrick was last seen, the advices said,, at Novo Alexlevka, October SO. Mr. Atechny, who is founder of the Mennonlte Relief society, landed at Halber-staOctober 25. Kilpatrick, formerly publisher of a country newspaper, served with the American army In Fiance as lieutensnt of field artillery and after the armistice as chief supply division of the American commission to negotiate peace.

Captain Emmett LONDON, Kilpatrick, representative of the American Red Cross in south Russia, and two nurses were brutally killed during a Bolshevik cavalry raid on Salkovo station, says a Sebastopol dispatch to Reuters tonight. SEBASTOPOL, Nov. 9. (By the Associated Press.) Captain Emmett Kilpatrick of Union town, Pa., a Red Cross worker, was captured at Novo Alexlevka, October 29, when a detachment of Budenny's cavalry swept down the west coast of the Sea of Axov, and surrounded the town. Stephen A. Venear of Albany, N. Y and James D. Heddlnger of Baltimore, Md., were with Kilpatrick at the time of his capture. The three were busy distributing relief supplies among Russian civilians, but Venear and Heddlnger managed to make their escape. Kilpatrick, however, being in a remotl part of the town, was cut off by Cossacks. A heavy snow had fallen, making the progress of Venear and Heddlnger across the steppes extremely painful and difficult. Many times they were obliged to take refuge in hollows and other hiding places, while ragged Cossack patrols were occupying hamlets and villages. Major Oeorge Herbert Ryden of Kansas City, director of American Red Cross operations In southern Russia, said today he believed all the remaining Red Cross workers, numbering twenty, were safe. All are men, the Red Cross not employing women in this territory. The twenty workers, who are believed to be safe in the Crimea, Include Robert Olewell, Bellingham, Wash.; l7ie M.
