By Associated Press

washington. Nov. 24.-Ambassa-
dor Bakhmetieff. of Russia. formally
notified the State Department to-day
that the embassy does not recognize
the authority of the extremists now
In control of the foreign office at
Petrograd.
John Sookine, first secretary of
the embassy and an officer of the
Russian Army. and Ferdinand De
Mohrenschildt. the second secretary,
who married Secretary McAdoo's
daughter last May, have offered their
services to the American govern
ment for the war against Germany.
In letter to Secretary Lansing,
following the resignation of three of
the chief officers of the embassy to
avoid having relations with the
Bolsheviki, the ambassador said the
Bolsheviki government was not rep
resentative of the true will of the
Russian people and that he would
not recognize that or any similar
government which would lead the
country into nonparticipation in the
war.
The ambassador said he consid-
cred himself duty bound to remain
at his post and would do so with a
competent staff of assistants. While
expressing the belief that the true
spirit of Russia was bound to arise,
hesaid, it was evident that until con-
ditions changed, the embassy could
not exercise in full measure its es-
sential duties and therefore he had
authorized members of the embassy
to find other fields for their activi-
ties

of $4,000 and pledges of $1,000.

of contributions from boys of the
Harrisburg district is $12,83O. They
have gone "over the top" with $3.50
to spare.
Among the contributions this
morning was a check for $12.75
from Oak Hall school. near Lingles-
town. Another contribution from a
school in the foreign district, in
Harrisburg, was a crisp new $40 bill,
with this letter:
II wish that you could realize just
how enthusiastic these children have
been in this matter, how even the
very little ones have denied them
selves that they might have a share
in this great work. l has done more
to instil into them a love for the
country. not of their birth, but OF
their parents choice, than anything
that has happened since 1 have been
working in this locality.
All Nationalities
''The contributors have been
Italians, Russians, Austrians, Ru-
manians and even Germans, as well
as Americans.
"One little German-born girl said
to me that she had two uncles in
the German army, but she wants to
help America.
I'VE hope to send you another
similar contribution by the first of
the year"

He loved his wife and lit tie girl with the average mans love. that placed her, their little and their some secondary @ I'll else He was brilliant man, politically ambitious. he wanted to be governor; he had made a big success of the district attorney s office The political boss Larry Me Carthy was his friend, his success seemed sure He strained every nerve borrowed money from his friends mortgaced his home to get money for campaign expenses. He lost he took to drink, went from bad to worse deserted his family and disappeared.
 Through fl all Larry Mccarthy posed as the friend, himself q success ful man. wealthy. handsome, to Kate Wilson he was the one man who stuck through thick and thin always ready to help. the tower of strength who never failed.
 Was it in any way remarkable that she should turn to him after her husband deserted her. Mccarthy was a clever man. so he bided his time The day came when the little girl was near death, and Mccarthy, still in the role of guardian angel. was always on the job.
