RUSS WAR ON ALLIES
U. S. CONSUL REPORTS HOSTILE
ACTIVITY BY BOLSHEvIki.
Lenine Tells Gathering of Soviets in
Moscow That a State of Con-
fict Exists.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Consul Poole
at Moscow has Informed the state de-
partment that Lenine, the bolshevik
premier, recently declared before a
gathering of soviets in Moscow that
q state of war existed between the
RUSSIAN government and the entente
allies. In response to questions from
the allies consuls, Tchitcherin, COM
missionaire of foreign affairs, said that
the premier's statement need not be
considered declaration of war, but
that 1t rather was a declaration of
state of defense on the part of Rus
STA, similar to the situation that ex-
listed at one time with Germany.
The consul's report, received by ca
bic, gave the state department its first
official information confirming reports
that the bolsheviki were formally
eharacterizing as an act of war the
operations of the allies forces on the
Thurman coast
Tchitcherin's explanation was made
publicly, the consul said, at the re-
quest of the allies consuls. Mr.. Poole
also reported that in spite of denials
of the authorities, the bolshevi.i were
throwing obstacles in the way of the
departure from Russia of British and
French military representatives.

ALLIES AID CZECHO-SLAvS
6olsheViki Flee to kronstadt-Fear
Army of aoo,ooo-Hun Policy
Fails in East.

London, Aug. 14.-British and jap
anese troops which were landed at
Vladivostok have joined the Czecho-
Slovak forces who are fighting against
German control in Siberia The Brit
ish troops are cooperating with the
Slav army on the USuri river, about
120 miles north of Vladivostok.
With the increase of Czecho- Slovak
and other armed anti-bolshevik forces
in greater Russia to more than 100000
men, Premier Lenine and his foreign
secretary, Leon Trotzky, have fled
from Moscow to Kronstadt, the naval
base near Petrograd, according to a
dispatch by the semi-official Wolff bu-
reau at Berlin.
The Berlin Lokal Anzeiger states
that the entire bolshevik government
will be moved to Kronstadt.
Commenting on the removal of Doc
tor Helfferich, the German ambassa-
dor, from Moscow TO Pskov because he
feared for his life, tire Berlin Vossische
Zeitung says:
Moscow is in the hands of anti
German elements and the followers of
the social revolutionists OF the left.
This would show that the bolsheviki
rule at Moscow is at an end, and this
is the case not only at Moscow but in
the greater part of Russia, if not in
the whole Russian empire.
This throws a vivid light on the
failure OF the German policy in the
East"

"The German Kaiser is not the SUI

fellow containing much fraudish cum
ming in his deceited heart The Supe-
rior Man is shown in the merits Of
the excellent heart with much loving
kindness to all peoples; the mean fell
low is displayed in the black heart of
the unregenerated devils of the hell
with much loving kindness only to
himself. In the history of China was

Slowed the scholars to extinct the civil

but he was not success in his crafty
tricks, for the civilizations could never
be extincted by such dishonourable

Canine Life Saver.

Dogs have been given their share OF
credit for saving human life, from time
to time, but it is doubtful If any canine,
however faithful, has ever given bet
ter account of himself as q life saver
than a dog did here. While driving
home to their farm from Pipestone,
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Thiele were run
down at a cross road by another car
which was travelling at great speed.
When the crash occurred the Thiele
car was picked up by the other and the
force of the collision threw fifteen
months-old baby from Mrs. Thiele's
arms. The child would have met GER
tain death beneath the cars but for the
fact that in falling the baby struck
a dog which was riding on the foot
board of the other car. The dog grab
bed the dress Of the child and chung
to it until the cars could be stopped.
The baby received fewer injuries than
did the other occupants of the cars.
Both machines were badly wrecked

on his musings, l said: "Yes, and here

your rifle" This did arouse aston

asked with animation. "The name OF

there, under the crown, showed him
the letters V. r. He fondled the gun
even more lovingly, for the rifle is the
Druses' sweetheart, and murmured:

TO EXEMPT MARRIED MEN
Secretary Baker Urges Change in Law
So Registrars Need Not
Classify Selves.

Washington. Aug. 12.-New draft
regulations, under which the govern
ment would do the selecting, are under
consideration by the war department.
This was disclosed on Friday by Sec
rotary Baker, after he had appeared
before the senate military committee
to urge prompt enactment of the act
extending the age limits. He made it
plain that he is not satisfied with the
present system under which the regis
trant must claim deferred classifica-
ton. Many with dependents hesitate
for patriotic reasons to make such
claim. He said he was inclined to the
opinion that the marriage relation will
itself confer deferred classification.

Third That the government acquire,
through the railroad administration,
all privately owned refrigerator cars,
and that such ownership be declared d
