"Washington, Sept. IG.--Secret ac
tivities against the United States and
the allies of the German paid and
controlled Russian Bolshevik govern^ ?
ment are the subject of today's chap
ter of confidential documents frehi
Russia given to the public by the

- One of the documents, a terse note
from the German general staff to the
council of people's commissaries.'" dis
closes that.as long ago as November.
^1917, when the Russian regime still
^was regarded as an ally of the na
tions at war with Germany, the Ger
mans were brusquely requiring Le
nine and Trotzky to furnish informa
tion regarding the amounts and placc
pf storage of supplies, received by
.Russia from America, England ana
France.
Others tell of the launching :n Jan
. uary and February this year of i
Bolshevik peace and socialistic prop
aganda against the United States,
England and France, at the direction
of the German intelligence service.
This was at the very time that
Schiedeman, the powerful German
Socialist and world Socialism apos
tle was in communication with hi;
Russian brothers "regarding the de
struction of the traces of the parly's
business relations with the imperial
. government." The intelligence ser
vice required the Bolsheviki to send
..\tov the allied countries through" neu
tral Europe ^'comrades" under as
umed names and with false neutral
.passports, to preach their doctrine oi
disorganization and to,carry on '?'??? m
paigns of "counter revolution, /'sabo
tage, looting, etc.
Plans of the Germans for sending
- three submarines, disassembled b.\
rail overland to Vladivostok for serv
ice on the Pacific are disclosed in a
communication of the German ' high
'fleet general staff to the commissar
ies. Another of the naval ccai'muni
cations reveals a scheme conceived
in January of employing Russia r.
, ships on the Pacific under the Rus
- sian fiag to carry agitators and
*'agents-destructors" to the ' Unite 1
States, Japan and the British "colo
hies in eastern Asia.
