MOSCOW. April 26.-Foreign Minis
ter Tchitcherin has addressed the rep
resentativcs in Moscow of the United
States, England and France, requesting
the speedy recall of their Consuls at
Vladivostok and an investigation of
their alleged participation in negotia-
tions said to have been conducted be-
tween the Peking embassies of the
powers named and the Siberian au-
tonomous government. They are also
asked to define their attitude toward
the Soviet government and explain
what the Minister alludes to as the at
tcmpts of their Representative to in
terfere with the internal life of Rus
sia.
M. Tchitcherin submitted copies of
the documents seized on the person
Of NJ. Kolodoff, member in Vladivos-
tok of the Siberian autonomous govern
ment, who recently was arrested, which
the Minister declares "establish in
controvertibly that the consular rep
ANSN 'ee'eA'So VI NIedC DIlldlH, i rance,
and America participated in this plot
and that the diplomatic representa-
tives of those powers in Pekine ne
gotiated with the counter revolutions
ary organization calling itself the 'Si
berian governmcnt." (These report
ed negotiations have previously been
declared in Bolshevik quarters to have
been projected with a view to the
recognition of Siberia by the Allied
powers.)
M. Tchitcherin also addressed to the
Japanese representative in Moscow 9
communication stating that the letters
taken from M. Kolodoff establish the
extensive participation Of Japanese off,
cials in the counter revolutionary
movement, despite repeated official as
surances of non-interference with the
internal life Of Russia.
"Such actions" continues the COM
munication, prompt US now to clarity
in manner beyond doubt the position
of the Toxic Cabinet regarding the
government of the Russian Federated
Republic, and to ask in particular if
the Japanese government intends in
the future to support the counter
revolutionary elements in Russia or
wishes Immediately to institute a pub
lie investigation of the activities of
some of it's agents, recall those in
criminated, and give definite instruc-
tons to the others. In the contrary
event, the government of the Russian
Federated Republic will have to take
the measures used against Russian
counter revolutionary citizens"

Officers of all ranks formerly in the

Bolshevik revolutionaries extended
their rule to Siberia. When they are

the consuls to accept their offers their
disappointment is painful.

Americans Trauel
Do.Un Piaue Riuer
Betlueen Tuo Lines
CBy The Associated Press)

ITALIAN FRONT, April 20.-Three
Americans have just enjoyed the un-
usual experience of taking motor boat
ride on the Piave River, the dividing
line between the Austrian and Italian
fronts. They are probably the only
Americans who have been on boat on
the Piave since the fall of Caporetto.
They are Harvey Carroll, jr., the
United States Consul in Venice; Major
Guy Lowell and Captain William Here
ford of the American Red Cross. Major
Lowell and Captain Hereford were in
Venice to inspect the distribution of
gifts of useful articles to soldiers on
the marine front. The trip on the
Piave was arranged by the Italian gen
eral commanding the headquarters near
Venice.
The trip was one of extreme inter
est" said Captain Hereford. "It was
necessary to pass the barriers before
getting out into the Piave River. Once
there the feeling was of being out in
she open between your own men and
isfhe enemy. As matter of fact, the
italians were a few miles further to
the north, where they are bravely
holding the line against all assaults.
: Major Lowell indicated on the slopes
Of the riverbank what looked to be
brown cactus leaves. 1t was really
cheveaux de frise, with sharp pointed
spikes which would make a very pain
full and difficult object to get over.
They were planted on the shores as
thickly as flowers in a garden.
1--WE climbed an ascent and had re-
naarkabe view of what is one of the
most interesting battlefelds in history.
tl|e miles to the north two lines were
fronting each other, and constantly one
heard the boom of guns and could see
the clouds of smoke from bursting
shells. Villages that had been ruined
by bombardment were clearly discern
ible. From the Austrian lines the
'sausages,' or stationary balloons, were
seen rising for observation Airplanes
were lowering in the air. From behind

SO clearly and distinctly to an OBJ
server. The defences of the land
the marshy ground, the lagoons, the
canals, the plateau and the mountains
all gave the conviction that the Aus
trians and Germans had come as far
as they ever would come
More even than the natural de-
fences, however was the morale to be
found among the men. Ability to re-
sist and the spirit to conquer were in
evidence among all of the men we saw
on the marine front. They were very
calm and very sure and very deter
mined. They. know the enemy will
come no further. and ask themselves
only how long it will be before the
Austrians and Germans will give wav
and begin the retreat to their old stand
behind the mountains.

Russian Anarchists
Loot Jewish Stores
Seven Rioters Are Killed at
Vitebsk by Revolutionary
Troops
fBy The .Associnted Press,


MOSCOW, Saturday, May Am
anti-Jewish outbreak, planned by an.
archists, has occurred at Vitcbsk
where the rioters declared their pur.
pose to "expel the Jews from the
Soviet and Soviet institutions" but in.
stead looted Jewish stores, theatre
and hotel, causing large property
losses.
A riot was started simultaneously in
diferent parts of the town, but this
was checked by the local revolutionary
troops and Red Army forces, seven
rioters being killed and twenty-wound.
ed: The remainder were arrested
This was but one of many anti-Je,y-

ner, or worse.
Conditions Unendurable
In some regiments, where a certain
semblance of discipline remained, the
officers were at first only degraded and
set to do the most menial tasks. The
indignities, however, became so bad
that the officers found them unendura-
BILE, with the result that many officers
committed suicide, while others in at
tempting to resent them were shot or
tortured in the most cruel and brutal
manner.
The military centres, such as Irkutsk,
Vladivostok, Chita, Haborovsk and
Blagoveschenslli are so widely distrib-
uted that the journey to Harbin is a
very long one, with the result that
many of those attempting to escape
were murdered en- route, although every
forrl of disguise was used.
The local military organization in
Harbn is doing everything in its power
to assist these refugee officers. Of the
best families in Russia, and having
been trained and educated solely with
a view to becoming officers, they are
not fitted to earn their living in any
other walk of life

Publicity Has Aided
German Command

Publicity has probably aided the con-
slant reorganization of the German
command. When general fights vel
all Germany knows it, and his road up
ward is easy. The silence that has rest
ed upon the British and French forces
mas tended to prevent men developed
by the war from rising and obtaining
recognition.
English papers commenting upon the
removal of General Cough after his
bad defeat and the destruction of
his army, the so-called British Fifth
Army, say that the British command,
oelow Haig. is to-dav practically what
1t was under French.
The process by which Grant rose in
our own Civil War and by which Won
Below and Won Hutier have come up
under Hindenburg, has not gone on in
