often threatened to follow the example

GERMAN AGENTS OPENLY
WORK AMONG RUSSIANS
Under Guise Of Socialists and Anar-

volt, Says American.

NEW YORK, July PIT is true that
German agents under guise Of socialist
and anarchist speakers have peen open
ly engaged in spreading revolt against
the republican government of Russia
and German money is being freely used
to encourage discomfort and dissatis-
faction with the progress of the war.
according to Mrs, Alexander Lodyguine.
wife of a former New York construc-
ton engineer. who has arrived here
after spending ten years in fetrograd,
where her husband Is employed.
She asserted that she had seen Ger
man agents circulating among the
crowds surrounding street speakers
notes to those who would agree to
shout for separate peace or the over
throw of the existing government. She
added that these emissaries are every
among the civilian population. and that
their work is aided by shortage of
foods due to the existing disorder.
I'VE are confident, however, that Pre-
mjer Kerensky will bring order out of
the chaos He is a wonderful man. and
the hest people of Russia are ready to
follow and obey him. There will be no
separate peace. l am sure. and Russia
will continue to stand on the side of
democracy"
Mrs. Lodyguine was accompanied by
her two daughters. Vera. aged four
teen. and Marguerite. sixteen. Both
girls were members Of the Girl Scouts
of Petrograd. an organization number
ing about 100. they said. During the
trying days attending the overthrow OF
the Romanoffs the Girl Scouts. in uni

tween various legations.

ing on the men on guard at the govern
ment building where we had taken

If the resolution is adopted by both

fourths of the states to ratify. Thirteen
states voting wet therefore could
reject the proposed amendments to the
Constitution.
That the wet" senators today per-
mitted the selection of time to vote
on the resolution by unanimous con-

they believe the states will fail to
ratify the amendment. even should 1t
pass the House and Senate. 1t has been

.BORAH CALLSFOR
DEFINITE WAR AIMS
Senator Says Conflict Now Is
Struggle to Defend Ma
tons Honor.
CITES HARD TASK AHEAD

In a speech pointing out the serious
situation which confronts the United
States today. with regard to the war
Senator Borah of Idaho yesterday aft
ernoon told the Senate that the war
has become IAN American war" and
that the sooner the people of the coun-
try awake to this fact the better. This,
he said. is not an appropriate time to
discuss peace. He made an urgent plea
for the statement by this government
of a definite policy for which this coun-
try is lighting.
Senator Borah said that Russia.
owing to internal conflict. was out OF
the struggle. that the submarine peril
has not been solved and that France
has probably reached the height of its
fighting power.
Never at any time in this struggle
has the outlook been so serious as at
this time" said Senator Borah. The
collapse of Russia. he said. meant that
p million American boys may find
graves in France.
