Stockholm, Sept. 25.-" Russia will

American commissioners to Russia. He

"There is chaos in Russia he told
the United Press. cit is exceedingly
difficult to draw facts from the con
fused situation or to make prophecies in
view of rapidly changing conditions.
Events move with terrific speed. No one
can tell today what will happen to-
morrow.
"However, the outstanding truth is
that the Russian revolution has not
shown the Germans that they may i'm
prove their own government by a sim
liar movement. This feeling is reflect

Embassy Employees We're En-

Fashionable lirs
BERNSTORFF Pc AR
IN SWELL CIETY
Newspaper Reporters In Un-
guarded Moments We're
Source Of Information
(By Carl d. Groat)

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent)
Washington, Sept. 25.-Beautiful so
ciety women were Ambassador Bern
storff' S unconscious aids in gathering
inside information about American af
fairs.
This fact will be developed if any
congressional inquiry of his propaganda
operations and his congressional slusl
fund are undertaken. Moreover, il
would be revealed that employees of the
German embassy in the day time were
waiter spies at night for the count.
Bernstoff, tall, handsome and gra.
cious was a social lion here and in New
York in the days before the war and
before his nefarious operations had
come to light.
1t was no uncommon occurrence for
social leaders to call him on the tele-
phone afternoons and chat with him.
Ambassador Bernstorff never made any
secret of these calls.
Aside from his opportunities of gath
ering diplomatic gossip" here he was
o most consistent visitor to New York.
During his visits to New York he held
many mysterious conferences and it is
assumed he frequently met men who
were aiding in his anti-American prop
uganda. Incidentally, his New York
trips recalled today the fact that reports
at the time of the so-callcd "1eak "
investigation linked Bernstorff's S name
with the stock deals 1t is believed
quite generally here that the informa-
tion hes could gather as to the moves
of his own and the American govern
ment, Bernstorff was able to make
large profits in the American market.
Bernstorff had retinue of servants
at the embassy who were really spies.
AT night they had employment at big
social affairs where the count himself
was frequently guest. When the war
made him persona non grata, Bernstorff
could still get a considerable stock of
information from these walters. The
United States secret service was aware
of this phase of Bernstorff s work and
kept close tab ON it.
The state department was worried for
some time over one form of Bernstorff IS
propaganda-his talks to newspaper
men. In as broad a way as possible of
fieials warned newspapermen who
"covered' - the embassy that they were
being duped oftentimes by the smooth
tongued Teuton. The officials also did
all they could directly to prevent Bern
storff from talking and at one time a
situation of extreme delicacy arose over
his persistence in talking "German
press agent matter" There were rumors
for time that his recall would be ask
ed as a result.
Secretary of State Lansing indicat-
ed today that perhaps he would have a
new series of disclosures of Germany s
shameless work soon.

Raid Over England
Last Night

UNITED Press staff correspondent
With the French Armies at the Front
Sept. 25-For the first time in worlds
history, battles are being fought today
on the French front where the number
Of artillerymen, preparing the at
tack, equals-and often exceeds-the
sumber of infantrymen in the assault.
q Artillery preparation today means
perhaps million shells day-a rec
ord frequently reached in French Of
fensive attacks.
Such concentration of artillerymen
and shells is the greatest demand yet
reached in the "war of material. - Tt
is the basis on which American troops
will participate. When Americas in
fantrymen eventually are called upon
to ego over" it should be after artil-
lery preparation possibly not of mil
lion, but of two million shells a day.
Already this new massing of artil-
lery has been developed by the French
to a point where the material exceeds
the widest imagination of three years
ago.
In the April offensive along the
Aisne and Moronvillers crest, the
French fired day after day an average
of million shells day. Had the
United States been in position at
that time to furnish France with a
million shells a day indefinitely, the
war might have been over by now.
Comparative figures show this great
artillery development. In the German
assault on Verdun last year, the enemy
seldom was able to fire over 100000
shells a day In the French attack on
Verdun, August 20. the maximum of
100000 a day was reached.
For the French portion of the Elan
ders attack in July, if all guns used
had been placed side by side instead
of in successive rows, they would have
been too close together for safety in
firing.
1t is General Petains philosophy
that no military commander now has
the right to send human breasts against
material.
In gigantic attacks during the sum-
mer in Flasders, on the Aisne, against
Moronvilliers and Verdun regiments of
French troops have captured prefixed
obiectives without q single soldier
killed The tremendous artillery prep
aration permitted it.
If America supports her infantry
with an artillery program equal in ev-
cry way to that which the French
have developed-and are now develop
not only on victory, but Victory at a
cost of human life smaller as her artil.
lery preparation is greater.
