ly announced today.
With the war boards statement Of
the governments changed attitude to-
ward Russian supplies, came signifi-
cant change of sentiment at the Rus

Trotsky, leaders of the revolt, were
pictured by embassy officials not as
German-inspired reactionaries, but as
sincere, patriotic and Wellmeaning
Missionaries.
1--WE have no evidence that Lenine
is German spy" said high embassy
official HE has always been a lead
er Of radical socialism in Russia. He
was declared a fugitive by the Keren-
sky government, not because of any
pro-German activities, but because he
was charged with melting instruction
to Kerensky."
Trotsky was regarded by this Off
cial as "Lenine's brilliant and mag
netie" mouthpiece. Apparently a
strike Of telegraphers at Petrograd
has interfered with Ambassador
Francis reports to the state depart
nent. His last despatch was dated
the eighteenth. Up to that time he
had reported no evidences Of separ-
ate peace move, engineered by Lenine
and Trotsky.
