Show That Lonine and Trotzk; j "Were Paid to BotH Country Int< j Deserting Allies- aiser's Plai ? for World. Conquest Before Wa j Came. i Washington, Sept. 14.?Proofs re j moving any doubts that Lenine am j Trotzky, the Bolsheviki leaders, an paid German agents?if indeed an: doubt remains, are laid before th world today by the United Stnte: government in the first installmen of an amazing series of official doc uments disclosed through the com mittee on public information. Secured in Russia by America] agents, these documents not onl} show how the German government through its imperial bank, paid iU gold to Lenine, Trotzky and then immediate associates to betraj Russia into deserting her allies, bu' give added proofs, if any be neces sary, that Germany had perfected her plans for a war of world con quest, long before the assassinatior at Serejevo which as the world now is confident, conveniently furnished j her pretext. I These documents further show that before the worldx war was fouv ; months old, and more than twc years before the United States was drawn into it, Germany already was setting afoot her plans to "mobilize destructive agents and observers" to cause explosions, strikes and out rages in this country and planned the employment of "anarchists and es caped criminals" for the purpose. Almost ranking in their sensation al nature with the notorious Zim merman note; ' proposing war by Mexico and Japan upon the United States which was first given to the world through the Associated Press" these documents lay bare a new strata of Prussian intrigue, a new view of the workings of kultur to disrupt the allies, standing between the world and k?iserism. They dis close a hew story of human treach ery for gold which might almost well be described without sacrilege as placing its ' perpetrators on a pedestal with Judas and his thirty pieces of silver. The intrigue appears to have been carried down to the last detail of ar rangement with typical German sys tem-. It will be revealed completely in a series of seven "articles furnl***** by the committee on public Information for publication each morning begin ning- today, until the series is com plete. - Not only do the disclosures prove that Lenine, Trotzky and their band are paid German agents. They show that the Bolshevik revolution which threw Russia into such an orgy oi murder and excesses as the. world seldom has seen actually was arrang ed1 by the German general .staff. They show how the paid agents fof Ger many 'betrayed Russia at Brest-Lit ovsk "peace'*- conference; how Ger man staff officers secretly have been received by the Bolsheviki as mili tary advisers; how they have acted as spies upon the /embassies of the na tions with which Russia was allied or at peace, how they effectually have directed the Bolshevik foreign, do mestic and economic policy wholly in the interest of Germnay and the shame and degradation of Russia. They show how a picked German commander was detailed to "defend'' Petrograd against the German armb and an extent of Gorman intrigue and domination "almost beyond the realm j of imagination. Originals of documents, and type ! written circulars, some of them marked "very secret" or "private' and many of them bearing the anno tation of the Bolshevik leaders them selves; some of them containing ref erences to "Comrade Trotzky" oi "Comrade Lenine," comprise tlu damning record. Some of the orig inals, it is shown, although deposit?'*' in the secret afchieves of the Bolshe viki, were required to be' returned la ter to representatives of the Ger man "government staff in Petrograc that they might' be destroyed. Bui evidence of them remained' in ths fabric of roguery and into the va cancies they* fit perfectly. The Bo! mevik leaders themselves, informet their "comrades" that the Germar government had required the returr of the order of the German Imperia Bank depositing $50,000.000 golc rubles in a Stockholm bank for Le nine" and Trotzky and that at th< same time the accounts of the bank; had been "audited" to conceal th* payments. The "first installment of the revela tionis appearing here is preface* by an official statement by the com mittee en public information whicl fells briefly what the succeeding in stallments of documents will prove This official resume of the disclosure: says: The committee on public informa tion releases for publication herewitl a series of communications betweei the German imperial government am the Russian Bolshevik governmen and between the Bolsheviks them selves, and also the report thereoi made to George Creel by Edgar Sis son, the committee's special repre sentative in Russia during the win ter of 1917-1$. ' These documents show that th present heads of the Bolshevik gov ernment?Lenine and Trotzky an< their associates?are German agents They show that the Bolshevik re\ olution was arranged for by the Ger man great general staff and finance* by the German Imperial Bank am other German financial institutions. They show that the treaty of Brest Litovsk was a betrayal of the Bus <ian people by the German agenti Lenine and Trotzky; that a Gerrnai picked commander was chosen t "defend" Petrograd against the Ger mans; that German otficers have bee secretly received by the BolShevil government as military advisers, a spies upon the embassies of Russia' allies, as officers in the Russian arm and as directors of the Bolshevik mil ? itary, foreign and domestic policj j They show, in short Mat the present ; Bolshevik govern^,mit is not a Rus sian governme . at all, but a German J governm?~t acting- solely in the ih " j terests of Germany and betraying the Russian people, as it betrays Ru's | sia's natural allies, for the benefit of sjthe imperial German government ? j alone. [)j And they show also that the Bol 11 ishcvik leaders, for the same German r imperial ends, havfr equally betrayed the working classes of Russia whom they pretend to represent. The documents are some 70 in 3 number. Many are originals, an e notated by Bolshevik officials. The >? balance of the others are photo i fgraphs of originals, showing annota s tions. And they corroborate a third t set of typewritten circulars (see ap . pendix later) of which only two orig . inals are possessed but all of which fit perfectly into the whole pattern j of German intrigue and German [ f guilt The first document is a photograph j ? of a report made to the Bolshevik ; ? leaders by two of their assistants, in t forming them that in accordance with t their instructions, there had been re . moved from the archives of the R?s i sian ministry of justice, the order oi . the German Imperial Bank '-allowing i money to Comrades Lenine, Trotzky j "and others' for the propaganda bt I peace in Russia;'* and that at th? same time "all the books" of a bank r in Stockholm had been "audited" to ? conceal the payment of money to > Leniae, Trotzky and their associate"; : by order- of the German Imperial : Bank... \ This report is indorsed by Lenine. i with his initials, for deposit in "the secret department" of the Bolshevik files. And the authenticity of the report is supported by document No 2, which is the original of a re port sent by a German general stafi representative to the Bolshevik leaders, warning ?them that he haci just arrested an agent who had h his' possession the original order o ' the German Imperial Bank referred to in document No. ly and pointing out that evidently "at the proper tims steps were not taken to destroy th.. above mentioned documents." Document No. 3 is the origina protocol signed by several Bolshe vik leaders and dated November/2 1917, showing that "on. instruction, of the representatives of the Germai. general staff in Petrograd" and "witi the consent of the council of people': commissars,". of which Trotzky and Lenine were the heads, two incrimi nating German circulars had als. been "taken from the department o, secret service of the Petrograd dis trict" and given to the secret servic-. department of the German genera staff in Petrograd. On the botton of the protocol the German adjutan acknowledges receipt of the two in criminating circualrs with his ciphei signature. . And to' complete the evi dence the circulars are themselve. penciled with the 'cipher signature o the head of the German secret bu reau. \These two circulars apparently had been obtained by some Russian agen in Germany and transmitted to Rus sia. The German^general staff evi dently wished to get them babk in or der to destroy them. By the order o the German general staff and witi the 'consent" of Lenine and Trotzkj. they are turned over to the German, to be destroyed. Why? Becaus they are conclusive proof that o: June 9, 1914, the German govern ment .was preparing for war, severs weeks before the assassination of th Austrian archduke, which was mad the pretext for war. One circular is-^an order from th ? German general staff, dated June !f I 1914, .informing "all industrial con cerns" in Germany to .open the seal ed envelopes containing their "in dustrial mobilization plans and reg i istration forms," so that they might be prepared for the war for whicl the excuse had not yet been found. The second circular is an ordei from.the German staff of the hig. ? sea fleet, dated November 28, 1914 ? calling for the mohilization of "a! . destructive agents and observers" n I the United States and Canada for th . purpose of preventing the sailings o . ships from American ports to Rus - sia. France and England. The ordei I calls for explosions, strikes, -delays r embroilments and difficulties," and i ? recommends the employment of "an . archists and escaped criminals" foi - the purpose. 1 It is these damning proofs of : i German conspiracy against the na i tions of Europe in June, 1914. an.i 1 against the United States in Novem i her, 1914?it -is these that Lenine and - Trotzky surrendered to the German - secret service in Petrograd on orde; s of "the representatives of the Ger - man general staff in Petrograd." And they surender them in con - formity with a working agreement 1 between the Bolshevik leaders and - the'German general ' staff: of which i agreement a photograph is included - in the series as document No. 5. It is dated October, 1017. It is from s a division of the German general staff. It is addressed to the council - of the people's commissars, of which i Lenine and Trotzky were the heads, i It begins: "In accordance with the :1 agreement which took place in Kron-' ; Stadt, In July of the present >ear, be - fween officials of our general staff n and leaders of the Russian revolu - tionary army and democracy. Messrs - Lenine and Trotzky, Basolnikov and - Dybenko, the Russian division of our general stuff operating it* Finland is ..? ordering to Petrograd officers for the - disposal of the staff." Among thi rl officers named are Major Luberts. 5. whose cipher signature is given as it - appears on the two surrendered Ger ? man circulars mentioned above (doc 3 ument No. 3), and Lieutenant H?rt el wig. whose cipher signature is given as it appears on the receipt for the - two circulars^ And an indorsement . on this letter from the German of <. fibers assigned to Petrograd had ap n peared ??before the military revolu 0 tionary committee" and had "agreed on conditions with regard to their, n mutual activities." k "What their "mutual activities" s were to be is sufficiently indicated bj v Document No. 7. which is a photo y graph of a letter signed in cipher l>: I- this .Major Lubert and his adjutant. r. Lieutenant Hartwig. They notified the Bolshevik leaders, on January 12, l*9l8, thai "by order of the Ger-'i [ man General staff" the German in-! j telligence section "has informed us! I of the names and the characteristics I of the main candidates for ro-o]i-c- \ j tion" to the Russian Bolshevik "cen tral executive committee." and "the general staff orders us to insist on tin election of the following people-" They add a list of Russian leaders satisfactory to the German General Staff. The list is headed by Trotz ky and Lenine. They were elected, and the. rest of the present Bolshevik executive committee were chosen from the same German list. Document No. 2S gives evidence of the quid pro quo. It is a photograph of a letter from the president of the j German Imperial Bank of \he Bol- j shevik commissar of foreign" affairs. It is marked "Very secret" and dat ^d January 8, 1918. It says: "Infor mation has today - been received by me from Stockholm that 50,000,000 roubles of gold have been transferred to be put at the disposal of the peo ple's" commissars" which is the title of the Bolshevik leaders. "This /Cred it," 'the letter continues, "has been supplied to the Russian government in order to cover the cost of the keep of the Red Guards (the Bolshe vik revolutionary troops) and agita tors in the country. The imperial government considers it appropriate to remind the soviet of people's com missars of the necessity of increasing propaganda in the country as the antagonistic attitude of the south of Russia and Siberia to the existing (Russian) government is troubling the "German government. Four days later the same president of the German Imperial Bank sent, another 5,000,000 roubles to the same i address to provide for the sending o: ? Russian revolutionary leader tr Vladivostok to get possession of Mho "Japanese and American war mate rials" ?t that port, and if necessary to 'destroy them. A photograph o: hi sletter is given as Document 'No 9. There were earlier payments, but probably none later than these. Nom w?s necessary. By this time the loot of an empire lay open to the Bolshe viks'and'the Germans. Most significant of all are two pho tographs of further communication: frOm'the German Imperial Eank, giv mas Documents Nos. 10 and 11. On Is a letter addressed to the chairman of the council of people's com mis sars and the other is the "resolution of conference oi" representatives o the German commercial banks" re ceived by the chairman of the Bol shevik central executive committee md fnctorsed by his secretary. To gether they give a complete, synop sis of the terms on which German> lntends""to have control of all Russian lndustri.es. ' For five years from the signing o; peace, English, French and Americar capital in Russia are to oe "banish ed", ?nd "not to be allowed in the fol Lowing.industries: Coal, chemical and pharmaceutical." These industrie: are to "be developed under the con troL^fL-a."

Germany and Austria are t< "enjoy the unlimited privilege o ?.ending mechanics and qualified work men into Russia." All other foreigi mechanics and workmen are not t< be allowed to enter at all" for fiv< years after the conclusion of peac betweeh Russia and Germany. "Pri /ate banks in Russia arise only with the consent" of the union of Germar and Austrian banks. And so forth And this conspiracy between Ger man capitalism and the pretende( Russian Reds is indorsed by a Bol shevik leader, with the rccommenda tions that it should be "taken unde; ldvisement" and "the ground prepar v ed in the soviet of the workmen's ans soldiers' deputies in case the counci' j of people's commissars will not ac uede to these requests." Various details of the conspiracy between the Bolshevik leaders an< the" German general staff are expos Bd in Documents lfi and 19. Thes ire photographs of letters whicl: passed between the Bolshevik leader ind the German general staff, or th German. officers in Russia. Docu ment No. 21 shows thr*t on Noveni ber 1, 1917, when R?ssia was still re graded as an ally of Great Britain France and America, the Germa: general staff was having "the hono: to request" the Bolshevik leaders V inform it "at the earlies possible mo ment"' concerning "the quantity an-: storage place of the supplies th.-r have been received from America England and France, and also th units which are keeping guard ove: the stores." Document IS shows the Germa: general staff requiring the Bolsheyir. leaders to send "agitators to th< camps of the Russian prisoners c. war in Germany" in order that the:? might procure spies to work am on: the English and French troops ami to further "peace propaganda." Arn' this is proposed by the German gen eral staff as being "according to th negotiations between the Russian anc. German peace delegations at Bres: Litovsk." In Document 22 the Bolshevik lead ers and the Germans are aiTangin: to send "agents, agitators and agent I destructors" out of Vladivostok -'t ports of tlie United States, Japan am Lritish colonies in Eastern Asia." In Document 16 Trotsky is pro viding fraudulent passports for Ger man officers who are going to Eng land, France and America, as spic: and enemy agents. And Document 17 shows Trotzky indorsing a sim ilar proposal 'to he urgently execul ed. L. T." Three German submarines are to be sent to the Pacific on the trau Siberian railway by or.Pis of the German high command in 1 >".?:: ment '!'.'>. . Lists of German and ft us *ian spies watching the British French and American embassies in [Petrograd are given in Document No [23, and finally, in Document No I 15 the Bolshevik leaders are warned I that information concerning "tin I connection of the German govern ment with tin- Bolshevik workers" I has leaked out and that Russian I troops are hearing ot it. 1 Letters are given to show how th" Bolshevik leaders and the German officers arranged for the asslsslnatlor of Russian Nationalist leaders (Doc uments ::"?. and 52). Tor the de struction <i!' the Polish legionaries in the Russian army (Documents 40 tc 12), for the disorganization of i-nu manian army and the deposing of 'h< Roumanian king (.'Document Xo. 37). for the substitution of officers satis factory u> Germans in command of Russian troops instead of patriotic Russian generals (Documents .'il and 32), tor the suppression of patriotic agitation among the Russian soldiers (Documents 12 and 14), for an at tack upon the Italian ambassador ir Petrograd and the theft of his papers (Documents 20 and 27), and for ihe employment of German soldiers he uniforms against the Russian Nation al armies in the South (Document 35). Several of the 1? tiers are indorsed by Trotzky. Even standing alone they are complete proof that th? Bolshevik U aders were ruling as Ger man agents in Russia and obeying German orders to act against al German enemies and even against Russia itself. Moreover, these Bolshevik leaden acted as German agents by suppress ing their own socialist revolution ir the Russian provinces where their doctrines interfered with Germar plans of annexation. Document -If is the original letter from the Petro grad department of the German gen eral staff, addressed to the Bolshevik commissar of foreign affairs. It reads: "Acer.,?.ting to instructions of the representative of our general staff I have the honor once more to insist TiKit you recall from England J-.itva and Courland all agitators o; the central executive committee of the soviet of workmen and soldiers deputies." .And in Document 41 the general staff orders the Bolshevik to ?ea?e the agitation in Finland whicT had "finally led to the German land lords being declared outlawed," and to "take immediate steps for the re storing of the rights of the above mentioned German landlords." Another group of letters iNos. 23 :o 36 shows how the Germans cheat ed the Bolsheviki leaders in thei: dealings with the Ukraine and made i separate German peace with the anti-Bolshevik leaders in that Rus sian province. And another group shows the (]> rmans assisting both sides of the civil war in Finland (Documents '?'.'<, !.". and .".::.) The documents are/given in the re port form in which they were trans mit! <*d by Mr. Sisson to Mr. Creel, chairman of the committee, with ?oniH later data added and carefully indicated. For instance. Mr. Sisson iid not learn until several weeks af ?ler he bad left Russia that the Ger man order (whicli he possessed) naming th<- Russian who was to "de fend" Petrograd had been obeyed. LENINE AND TROTZKY GIVEN EMMENSE SUM. Documents Expensed by Washington Throw Additional Light on Sur render of Russia to Germans. Washington,- Sept. 15.?^The part played by the German Imperial Bank in financing the Russian Bolshevik aiovernent, the care taken by the Ger man military authorities to prevent spread among Ue-ir own people o! the Socialistic preaching ol their Russian tools and :he pfons laid for lerman control of Russia, economi cally and financially, during and at ;er the war feature the disclosures in the second installment of the sensa tional series of- secret documents which the American government is making public. Copies of che documents, .^iven on: tonight, carry the iii?_- numbers of tnc Reichbank or of the German general staff and in some instances notations :.y Lenine or Trotzky, the bolshevik leaders, now shown to have been in he pay of Germany since long before ?.hey overthrew Russia's new demo cratic'government and virtually turn ed the country over to .the Teutons. There are illuminating explanatory notes by Edgar Sisson of the com mittee on public information, who di rected the investigation which result ed in the disclosures. One of the Reichbank memoranda, dated last January, announces to tlu commissari of foreign affairs (Le nine) that 50,000,00.0 rubles of gold had been placed to the credit at Stockholm of the representatives o< the commissari to cover the cost Oi Red Guards and agitators. Another of a few days later tells of a cred;. of 5.000,000 rubles for the assistant naval commissari in the Far East who is entrusted with the task o: car rying off or destroying the great American and Japanese store.-- of war material at Vladivostok?a scheme that probably was well under way when the landing of American and allied forces at Vladivostok ended the sway of the Bolsheytki there. A resolution adopVed by the Ger man commercial banks, under the auspices of the Reichbank, outline; :n elaborate program for control o; Russia by Germany and the barrins of America and the allies from the Russian commercial and industrial field after the war.
