 Sub treasury burned yesterday afternoon. Under difficulty reached wreck of building this morning. Vaults appear intact. Found no guards. Finally communicated with General Funston and secured detail of one company of soldiers. Unable to locate assistant treasurer and therefore acted on own responsibil- ity. Chaotic conditions. Mint build ing and vaults safe. Please arrange with secretary of war for military protection to treasury vaults"

II would be easy TO furnish the ex-
euse for this Intervention. In every
Russian city of any prominence there
are foreigners. The shooting down of
few of these would furnish the
necessary pretext.
But we doubt very much If this in
tervent on would avail in the present
temper of the Russian people, because
Il would come close to consolidating
