V. S. CONSULATE CLOSED BOLSHEVIK'S WAR DECLARATION CAUSE OF ACTION. Allied Councils Formed at Archangel and Vladivostok?More U. S. Troops Landed. Washington, Aug. 23.?Dispatches from Russia today were of a somewhat disturbing nature to State Department officials. Vice Consul Robert M. Imbrie, at Petrograd, reported in a delayed dispatch that members of the Bolsheviki government at the former Russian capital had issued a pronunciamento declaring a state of wrar existed between Russia and the United States. In view of the Bolsheviki declaration, Mr. Imbrie reported in his dispatch, dated August 2, that he had lowered the United States flag over the consulate and, following the recent action of Consul General Poole at Moscow, closed the consulate and turned over the affairs of the United States to tne i\orwegiaii cuuau*. Americans in Petrograd, believed to number about twenty, were warned to leave, Consul Imbrie's dispatch said, although the consul indicated that he would remain at his post until he had received instructions from the state department. More Cheering Xews. I Announcement in a dispatch from Stance of the appointment of two international councils, one at Archangel and the other at Vladivostok, however, counterbalanced the unfavorable news contained in the dispatch from Petrograd. Ambassador Fran * cis, as dean of the diplomatic corps, will act as the presiding officer of the Archangel council, the other members of which will be the diplomatic representatives of the Allied nations. Tha nppsnrnpi of the Vladivostok council is not yet complete. Great Britain will be represented by Sir Charles S. Elliott as high commiss sioner of Vladivostok, Japan by Mr. Matsudaira and France by Eugene Regnault. Consul Caldwell will be the American member until President Wilson designates a representative. Persecution of the few Americans in Petrograd for the ten days prior to the dispatch of Consul Imbrie's cablegram made state department officials apprehensive as to their safety. Officials regarded it as evident that further messages from the consul have been held up by the Bolsheviki. Regarded Seriously. The reference in Consul Imbrie's \ dispatch to a declaration of war against the United States by the Bolsheviki authorities, however, was regarded most seriously by officials. It was suggested the ships of Minister of War Trotzky at Moscow late in July, in which he declared that a state of war existed between Russia' and Great Britain and France and / their allies, and which Foreign Minister Tchitcherin modified in response to an inquiry of Consul General Poole, to a state of defense against the Allies was the real basis , for the latest development in Petrograd. It was thought that upon re-' ceipt of the report of Trotzky's ships ( the Petrograd Bolshevik authorities interpreted it as they saw fit and issued their declaration of war against the United States. Whether the Americans in Petrograd will be able to escape was doubt ful, despite the recent agreement with the Finnish government whereby Americans leaving Russia might have safe passage through Finland. Officials here pointed out that the Fii\ns would be unable to protect Americans against German officials and soldiers, who are now in control in Finland. Two Regiments. The announcement by Secretary Baker today of the arrival of the Thirty-first regiment, regulars, United States infantry, at Vladivostok brings the military representationsof the United States at that port to two full regiments, the arrival of the Twenty-seventh infantry having been announced several days ago. Reestablishment of civil government in Vladivostok and Archangel will be the first task of the international councils, it was said by officials here, who pointed out that such action at Vladivostok, would allow the military commands to devote themselves exclusively to clearing the region between Irkutsk and the Pacific of the Bolshviki and their allies, liberating German and Austrian prisoners. This accomplished, the work of the Vladivostok commission would \ push westward and eventually coordinate with the commission at Archangel. ^ < > i Vnt l?PAPvthinc? Redd?Is his car well equipped?

Murphy," says a statement given out by the committee on public information, "sits day and night in an office in a little shack at a United States naval air station poring over raised maps with colored strings stretched on them and little red beaded pins stuck in them. His job is to keep tab on every German submarine out of its base. He knows when they need air and how badly each depth charge damages them. He knows even when they must come to the surface for the skipper to smoke a cigar, for there is no smoking inside a submarine. "Ensign Murphy's knowledge decides the success or failure of many young reserve ensigns of the naval flying force at the station. Take, for instance, Ensign E. J. scmenenn, 01 New York city, a member of the 1919 class of Yale University, who is a direct descendant of John Jay, of Revolutionary fame. About Time to Smoke. "Ensign Schieffelin was in Murphy's office early one morning when that expert stuck a pin in the middle of his North sea map and exclaimed: 'They'll be needing a smoke right about there. They have been under , ! so many hours on such and such a course. In three hours they'll emerge and the reason will be tobacco. Search this area (pointing to the map with his finger) and you'll find a submarine.' "Ensign Scheiffelin was the first pilot, Lieut. Roger W. Cutler, stroke, and ?aptain of the Harvard varsity crew of 1917. and Bernstein, a ma chinists' mate, and Taggart, electrician, and champion hundred yard sprinter, completed the crew of the big seaplane. "Three hours after the seaplane had left its station both officers made the exclamation as the seaman called to his mate: " 'Large Hun going North. One gun.' "The seaplane got itself between the submarine and the sun and for two minutes bore down on ,the uboat. Half a minute later the vessel started to submerge with a 'crash; dive. / Damaged But Alive. \ "Lieutenant Cutler tripped his bomb release at the instant the big seaplane was directly over the enemy's conning tower which was exactly awash. Ensign Schieffelin put the machine into a vertical bank to observe the effect of the explosion j and a white geyser spitted 15 feet j feet from the enemy's port beam. When the splash cleared the stern of the submarine was tipped up and her propellers were out of the water. "The air pilots knew then that she was damaged by that she could not submerge and was a prey to any! patrol boat. The seaplane being short> of fuel, she signalled to a drifter. " 'Damaged submarine five miles northeast of you.' But the drifter knowing that a submarine on the surface would start to run like a scared cat, and that it could not catch her, relayed the news to torpedo boat destroyers. "The destroyers did the rest. They ;hurried up and rammed the u-boat. There were only six survivors. The destroyers put her down but she was the prize of Scheiffelin of Yale and Cutler of Hartford. Cutler, incidentally, was on his first flight as a pilot on war patrol and the bombs which damaged the submarine Were the first that he had dropped in action." Boll Weevil.on the Move. Clemson College, S. C., Aug. 24.? The cotton boll weevil was found for the first time in South Carolina last fall. During .an inspection of the weevil territory the past week, the weevils were found scatteringly in the cotton fields of western Beaufort and Jasper counties. It appears therefore that the weevil has begun its migration. Attention is directed that the quartantine lines of the State Crop Pest Commission are governed by weevil movements, and will be changed from time to time as the weevil advances. The State Crop Pest Commission will provide for the shipment of material whenever there is every assurance that such nntinn is safe, and commerce will be interfered with just as little as possible. Occasionally some party visiting weevil territory will bring back with him live boll weevils in a bottle to show his friends. This is a violation of the State law. It is a most serious offense and such violations will be prosecuted. It has been presumed that this has been done thoughtlessly with no malicious intent, but this does not protect South | Carolina territory. A person may do | something thoughtlessly in favor of the enemy, but if he does it he is not a patriot. Slogan: "Leave all boll weevils in their own cotton patches."
