Here are the exact documents, clear
and irrefatable, where the Hun was
guilt, is proven by the words of his
own mouth; and these accusing docu-
ments are not the irresponsible scrib-
blings of the subordinate German
agents. They are Official documents,
civilian naval, military and CONNER
cial, signed and issued by that organi-
zation, which, in the absence of a
more appropriate title, goes under the
name of the Imperial German govern
ment.
In certain documents that we are
going to publish below, you will find
the proof, the absolute proof, that the
corruption in Russia was-and still
today without doubt is-perhaps not
only authorized at the instigation of
the Imperial Government, not only by
the powerful German Industrial Syn
dictates, but by the German Socialist
Majority themselves. These accusing
documents prove that Lenine, Trotzky
Lounatscharsky, Zinovieff, Kamanef,
and other gentlemen of lesser import
ance among the Russian Maximalists
have been bribed, and bribed cheaply,
by the gold which, they have so often
denounced-and the gold was Ger
man gold.
These documents at the present
time are the property of Bernard Taft,
one oA.the contributing editors of the
La Petit Partisan; which newspaper
vouches for their authenticity, and
challenges any and all who would
question their genuineness. They were
brought directly from Russia by a
friend of Bernard Taft, who bears a
well known name in French society,
and to whom they were given by a
man whose good faith no one would
doubt,-a man celebrated in Russian
Revolutionary movements, and known
by every one who has followed events
in Russia since the Revolution. This
man whom the Maximalists pursued
with all the ferocious hatred that the
criminal has for the dover of justice,
that man whom they would be so glad
to hold in their claws; who always
escapes them, who taunts even the
usurpers; always working to save his
country from shame, who never des-
pairs Of his Fatherland, this man has
courageously given the LIE Petit Pa
risian permission to use his name. The
contributor to the lie Petit Partisan
uses these words in heSitating, at the
present time, to give the name OF
the Russian who has handed him these
important documents:
eff L do not do it, it is because
do not wish to prepare for him g
terrible Chugaref and Kokoschine
throat cutting done by Lenine an6
Trotzky. The day will come, soon
hope, when it will be possible to give
him the credit for the exposure OF
these documents"
Now we come to the first of the
discriminating documents. In itself
it may not be seen at first glance
very significant. However, the writer
calls the attention of his readers tt
the dates of the issuance of these Of
fetal German "orders" and also t.
keep in mind their relationship to the
others.
Here is a circular dated January 2
1914, that is to say, eight months be
fore the war, where it is already seer
that Germany had decided to declare
on civilization.
Circular of the End of January
1914, sent out by the German Imperia
