Stockholm. Sent. 17.-Events in
Russia which Immediately preceded
the surrender OF entente allied in
terests in Soviet Russia to the min
listers of neutral countries were
presented TO the outside world chief
,ly through Bolsileyik and German
mediums. The entente consuls were
without communication with their
government, and, consequently their
side" of the case was not fully stated
during the crucial days of early
August, when conditions became SO
unsettled that they decided it was
necessary TO place the lives and
property Of their nationals under the
protection Of neutrals.
The real break began July 20.
when Premier Lenine declared in a.
Moscow speech: We are at war
Posters reiterating similar state
ments were displayed over all Mos
cow and great uneasiness felt by all
the entente citizens because Of
threats made in the Bolsheviki press
against them.
Ask For Explanation.
The entente consuis asked Foreign
Minister Tchitcherin II the Soviet
government regarded itself at war
with the entente allies and told him
that Premier Lenine's statement
must necessarily be regarded as a.
declaration Of war unless 1t was Of
ficially denied. After considerable
delay Tchitcherin replied:
"The Soviet government Is not MAX
ing war on the peoples of the allied
countries and does not recognize in
ternational law"
On August French and British
consuIs and their STATS and many
members of the military missions Of
the two countries were arrested with
about 200 British and French civil
JAMS. including many women. The
consuls were released but the citi-
zens were held.
Being unable to communicate with
their home governments and being
uncertain of their freedom the en-
tente consuls Immediately turned
their affairs over to the representa-
tives OF neutral countries and asked
for their passports. Later they also
asked permission for their nationals
to leave. In the meantime some

B0LSheUiki May
Seek Alliance

Amsterdam. Sept. 17.-Hints that
the Bolshevlk government Of Russia
may seek alliance with other powers
are contained in a note addressed TO
the peoples commissaries and Soviets
by Nikolai Lenine, the BoIshevik pre-
mier. printed in The Pravda of Pet
rograd and republished in The Lsokal
Anzeiger Of Berlin. The note reads:
THE position on the Czecho -Slovak
front is becoming more dangerous
daily. We are becoming increasing
ly convinced that alone we are pow
erless. For the Soviet government
there is only one way out, namely to
conclude a defensive and offensive
alliance with another power.
In order to save the power of the
workers and peasants we must not
even recoil from an alliance with i'm
perialists".

Along the Volga the Czecho- SLOW
axis, aided by newly organized Rus
sian units are attempting Ito press on
westward against greatly superior
enemy forces, which increase daily,
owing to the mobilization OF released
Austro- German prisoners The Boil
sheyik Red Guards would have, stop
ped fighting but for these prisoners,
who were ordered to enter the Boil
shevik ranks by Berlin when the
situation in Siberia became known
there. Berlin also fears untoward
happenings in the Ukraine.
There is unbounded enthusiasm
throughout Siberia owing to the de-
liverance from Bolsheyik rule through
the activities OF the Czechs. East of
the Ural mountains volunteers are
fIoclxing to the Siberian railroad to
join the new Siberian army. Twenty
Thousand men already are under
arms. The 1918 and 1919 classes have
been ordered modified and are MAX
ing a splendid response.
General Gaida said he believed 1t
would be fatal If the present enthus-

out. In few months Russia would
possess an army capable Of driving
the Germans to the frontier, If the
Allies would send troops to- aid the

Hardin, Sept. IA movement ex-

fish officers, who are forming Po-
lish division to light in Siberia west

as integral units in the American

According to conservative esti-
mates, an army of more than 200
trained men is Immediately available
in the regions of Hardin, Nikolsk

Large corps Of railway men also
can be utilized If necessary to take

The funds to be used in creating the
Polish army are to be considered a
loan to the Polish people or their
government
Tt is believed that if the Polish or
ganization is successful, the Ukrain-
ians will begin similar movement
and because of the close relationship
between the Magyars and the Poles
1t is considered possible that many
of the Magyars may be won over to
the entente allies.
The Poles declare emphatically
Ct1aL Lney DO not 1ntend TO partlcl-
pate in politics and their only de-
sire is to fight toward their own
country. g.
The Poles have asked that they
promptly be granted recognition by
the United States government so that
they may aid in opposing the spread
of Ger1nansaggression as well as win
their own freedom
Entente allied officials here see
three benefits to be derived from the
encouragement of the Poles. First
they say, it would obviate the neces-
sity of moving additional troops
across the Pacific; second, the allied
forces now in Siberia could be moved
westward to strengthen the Thurman
coast expedition, ultimately bringing
pressure to bear on the western front

were fast asleep in the soft mud at
the bottom of the pond. and there
they would stay until gentle spring
came and the little balmy breezes
woke up the violets and the butter
cups.
This is no place for me-" thought
the little bunny, and he hoped away
to the Friendly Forest, where the
brown leaves made a soft carpet and
Willie Wind whistled strange tunes
among the leafless branches.
And just then all of a sudden, he
