TREACHERY OF THE
B0LSHEvIk CHIEFS
Barred TO WORLD
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT SHOWS
LENINE AND TROTZKY ARE
HUNS PAID TOOLS.
Their Betrayal of Russia for German
Gold Is Proved Absolutely by
Series of Documents.

WashingtOn.-Tha Nicoai Lenine
and Leon Trotzky, chiefs of the boil
sheviki, betrayed Russia deliberately
for German gold is proved by series
OF official documents which the United
States government, through the COM
mlttee on public information, has laid
before the world.
Secured in Russia by Edgar G. Sis
son, representing the committee (WhO
was in that country during last Win
ter, l911-1S) these documents not only
show how the, German government
through it's Imperial bank paid it's gold
to Lenine, Trotzky, and their imme-
diate associates to betray Russia into
deserving her allies, but give added
proofs that Germany had perfected her
plans for Il war Of world conquest long
before the transformations at Sarajevo,
which conveniently furnished her pre-
text.
Hun Plots Against America.
These documents further show that
before the world war was four months
old, and more than two years before
the United States was drawn into it
Tin 1914, Germany already was set
ting afoot her plans to mobilize de-
structive agents and observers" to
cause explosions, strikes, and outrages
in this country, and planned the en-
ployment of anarchists and escaped
criminals" for the purpose.
IN hot,
nature with the notorious thinner
man note proposing war by Mexico
and Japan upon the United States,
these documents lay bare new strata
of Prussian intrigue, new view of
the workings Of kultur to disrupt the
allies standing between the world and
kaiserism. They disclose also Il new
story of human treachery for gold.
The intrigue appears to have been
carried down to the last detail of ar
rangement with typical. German sys-
TEN.
Revolution Staged by Berlin.
Not only do the disclosures prove
that Lenine, Trotzky, and their band
are paid German agents. They show
that the bolshevik revolution, which
threw Russia into such orgy of muir
der and excuses as the world seldom
has seen, actually was arranged by the
German general staff.
They show how the paid agents Of
Germany betrayed Russia at the Brest-
Litovsk peace" conference; how Ger
man staff officers have been secretly
received by the bolsheviki as military
advisers; how they have acted as spies
upon the embassies of the nations
with which Russia was allied or at
peace; how they have directed the
bolshevik foreign, domestic and eco
monte policy wholly in the interest of
Germany, and to the shame and deg
radiation OF Russia.
Originals of documents, photographs
of originals, and typewriter circulars,
some of them marked "very secret" or
private" and many of them bearing
the annotations Of the bolshevik lead
ers themselves; some of them con-
tanning references to 'Conrade TrOtz-
ky or "COmrade Lenine" comprise the
record.
Some of the originals, it is shown,
although deposited in the archives of
the bOlSheviki, were required to be
returned later to representatives of
the German general staff in Petrograd
that they might be destroyed
