German Agent Exposed.
Exposure of Eichlai Lenine, paeifist
agitator, as a paid German agent, helps
ed end the rebellion. Lenine had art.
fully paraded pseudo-patriotism and
acquired quite following. The gov
ernment did not desire to arrest him,
knowing he would pose as martyr,
but went diligently to work looking up
Lenine's past record as AN exile in
Switzerland and Germany. Lieutenant
Ermolenko, Russian officer recently
returned from a German prison camp,
gave the government the evidence it
desired. Ermolenko swore that when
he was a prisoner. the Germans sent
him back to Russia to agitate for a
separate peace. He was ordered, hel
swore, to cooperate with Lenine, Ma
dame Sumenson and others. 1

agents actually participated in the fir

Crowds in the streets saw armed men
on bicycles and other skirmishers from

cross ways, run first across Troitsky
bridge. More invaders sneaked across
other bridges, somehow they managed
to gain entrance to the fortress. Then
the walls of the old building began to
be dotted with figures-some sailors
and soldiers in uniforms; others the
black garbed Leninites who had oc-
supied the fortress when they were oust-
I'd from the palace Of the dancer Kshes1
