VERY SECRET.
To the President OF the Council
or Peoples Commissars: Not hav-
ing received an exact answer to my
question of the 25th of February, |
now have the honor to request you
to inform me in the shortest posi-
bic time the numbers and kind of
forces sent to Pskoff and Narva.
At the same time at the orders of
the representative of our general
staff l once more remind you of the
desirability of naming General Par
ski to the post of commander-in-
chief of the Russian armed forces,
in place of General Bonch- Bruevich,
whose actions do not meet the ap-
prevail of the German high COM
mand. Since the attacks on the lives
and property of the German land
owners in Estland and Lihand.
which, accordinSto our information,
were carried out with the knowledge
of General Bonch- Bruevich, and his
nationalistic actions in Orla, his con-
tinuance in the position Of general is
particularly no longer desirable
Head of the Department, Agasfer.
Note--Across the letter is written Send
to Trotsky and Podvoisky. (Signed} N.
G. Gorbunov's initials) Observe the
mandatory nature Of the whole letter and
particularly Of the first paragraph. Agas-
fer, as has been shown, is the cipher sig
nature Of Major Luberts, head OF the Pet
rograd intelligence department OF the Ger
man general staff, the chief branch Of the
Russian division of the German general
staff, the head Of which is Major Rausch,
referred to In this letter as the representa-
tive of "our general staff" Apparently
both Luberts and Rausch wrote q warning
against sending any patriots to the de-
Tending forces and seemingly the bolshe-
vik effort at obedience as indicated in
document No ; was not fast enough to suit
the German martinets. Podvoisky was
minister Of war.
Gen. Parski was appointed to the
command of the Petrograd district,
and as late as June IA still held the
post. He formerly was in command
of the city Of Riga, which was sur
rendered to the Germans without
adequate defense in the early autumn
of 1917.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS,
Corn Market Weakened by General En-
barge on Grain Shipments,

Chicago. Sept. 17.-As a result Of the
general embargo on grain shipments to
western primary centers unless storage
room was arranged for, the corn market
today showed weakness the greater part
OF the session. Prices closed nervous,
sc to 1Ac down, with October $152A to
Sl.52h and November. SASS to S1.4s%.
Oats, on the contrary, gained hc to y
q NC net, and provisions advanced SOC to
zoe.
Announcement that the railway grain
embargo had been made all embracing
brought about sharp break In corn
values promptly after Ne opening. At
the same time. the that no frost
was shown on the wea,.-l map and that
the forecast was for more warmth and
sunshine tended to increase bearish senti-
ment, especially as the government had
predicted that the bulk Of the crop
would be safe from frost by September
90. Covering by shorts led to good
rally, but weakness soon developed again
In view Of the fact that storage room in
Chicago remains ample, and the out
look that arrivals here might be heavily
enlarged.
Strength in oats came for the most part
from buying credited to the government
and to the northwest.
Improved cash inquiry made provisions
advance. The downward tendency of corn
had only q transient bearsh effect.
