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.

Murphy Moves; Bombs Drop.
London, Aug. 24.?"Ensign T. H.
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."
