Bakhmeteff Republican Russia's
First Ambassador to America
Petrograd Dispatch Delayed by Censor Tells of Appoint
of Professor Now Heading Mission Way to
This Country-Friend of u. S. and Known
The American
BY ISAAC Don LEVINE

According to a Petrograd dispatch filed
May s and held up by the censor, re
ceiyed this week from London, Professor
Bakhmeteff, who heads Russian COM
mission of forty now coming, via Japan,
to this country, has been appointed
Ambassador and Envoy Plenipotentiary
70 the United States. He will also
have charge of all Industrial, financial
and war supply matters.
Boris Alexandrovitch Bakhmetef L.
a typical American in everything but
birth. No Russian is better suited for
States by training, temperament and
experience than Bakhmetef.
A speaker of perfect English, an ad-
mirer of American institutions, an
economic expert Of first rank. the new
envoy represents the highest type of
efficiency, not only in Russia, but in
America. As a matter Of fact, at home
he is known as "the American" Per-
haps no other single man did so much
in transplanting American methods TO
Russia as Professor Bakhmetef.
Has Had a Varied Career
Although less than forty years old,
the first Ambassador of republican Rus
sia to republican America has had rich
and varied career. After graduating as
a hydro-electrica engineer he became
first instructor and then professor in
the Petrograd Polytechnical Institute.
But he could never remain purely a
man of theory. as he had a strong de-
sire to do practical work. For that pur-
pose he came TO America about thir-
teen years ago. Here he engaged in
ro-technical installation works, ac-
quiring experience which he later util-
lied in Russia.

Germans Say British
Airmen Burn Crops
Announce They Dropped lncen-
diary Bombs on Rpening
Grain Fields

Berlin, June Elm its report to-day
on operations along the Macedonian
front. Army Headquarters announces
that British airmen dropped incendiary
bombs on ripening grain fields on the
east bank of the Struma.
The German report recalls a recent
suggestion by Lord Calthorpe, a for
mer member of the British army, who
has given much attention to the food
question, that German crops might be
destroyed through setting them afame
with freballs dropped from Entente
airplanes. The plains of Hungary were
also mentioned as affording field for
such operations.
