United States May
Divert Ships Il Lenine
Heeds tn Germans

Washington, Nov. 81. - Official cor
tlrmatlOn OF The news from LOndO]
that German staff officers are in Pet
rograd acting as military advisers O
! the Lenine faction, probably will b.
followed promptly by action on tn
part of the United States and the al
lies definitely to place the Bolshevik
regime in the list OF Germany's allies
If the Germans are there all doub
as to the purpose Of the Bolshevik
is removed, and the diplomats VIII b
obi ged to withdraw to neutral CAP
ital, probably Stockholm, to await in
structions from their governments
Such development would undoubted
ell be followed by immediate cancella
!, ton of all orders now in process c
execution for military and other SUI
plies and Russia both in the United
States and Japan. Several cargoe,
from the United States are now or
the way to Vladivostock, but these
can be diverted by wireless orders
and it has been understood that the
delivery would be contingent upo
evidence that they would not fall into
unfriendly hands.
Would Give Germans Supplies
With Germans openly advising lie
nine and his followers it is assume
that efforts will be made to carry
Russia into the post on of an active
ally Of the central powers. Thi
might produce a most serious situatio
by making available to Germany tn
vast stores of food, OIL and cotton 0
Russia, and even though the TeutOr
found it impossible to convert the dis
organized country into an active NIL
itary ally, the million or more Ger
man, Austrian and Turkish prisoner
held in Russia would be freed for ser
vice with the Teutonic armies.
Since the overruling of the Ke
rensky government, military strate
gists here have been anticipating sue
conditions as exist today in Russia
This is one of the principal problem
which the inter-all ed war council in
Paris is expected to decide on. Willis
being not bound by any specific in
structions, Colonel House and his aC-
visors, General Bliss will operate with
the representatives of the ententa
powers in framing some policy to NEE
the situation.
Hope for Lenine Downfall
Strong hope is felt that any attemp
by Lenine to turn Russia over to Ger
many will meet with powerful resist
ance at home. ANY action decided
upon by the allies will be directed
the Petrograd extremists and not a
the people of Russia. ....
Reports that come from the Don
Cossack. country that the hetmar,
General Kaledines, may be the maste
of the situation through his control Q
the food which is necessary to main
tain any military force in the north ct
Russia. have encouraged military .exl
perts here to believe that in spite o
the aid of his German advisers, Len;rs
and his faction may be brought
terms ~ -

A WINNING WAR

Every Red Cross seal you buy is a
bullet in winning war tuberculosis
is preventable and durable; it is not
hereditary. The death rate from tu-
berculosis in our country has been re-
duced one-half within a generation.
That our war in Europe will make
more tuberculosis at home because Of
the rigors and dangers of army life,
is certain from the experience Of Eng
land, France, Canada and Germany
This means that you cannot afford to
let the campaign against tuberculosis
IN the United States suffer- If you do
your part and others do their part, we
will win the war abroad and the war
against the White Plague here.

THE government has made big

One company commander. in a GER

Perhaps 10 per cent of these draftees
will be thrown out before the great

There are some splendid chaps in
the draft army, men who are adapt

a splendid manner and they will
serve to swing the whole draft into

But time is the thing right now
which counts and every possible
minute is made use of by every
unit. When will we sail? Yes that
