| Now we come to the most ments yet revealed. One of the ments is that they exhibit Leni rabid anti-capitalists, as the wei profiteers in Rhenish Westph6 as early as ?, 1917, only two W of the Russian Revolution, the its agents in Switzerland, that and other Russian political ref1 of revolutionary agitation in Rr comment or question. In a communication addressed by Erich of the Deutsche bank to Fur stenberg at tockholm-Furstenbe the German-Swedish Socialist and banker, and also the fiscal represen- tative of Germany in Sweden-we have the following doucment, which was dated Geneva, June IS, 1917.
 ""To M. Furstenberg, at Stockholm, "Sir-I request you to take note that on demand of M. Katz on the Syndicate's account, a sum of 82,000 francs ($16,4O0 has been handed over for the publication of Mazimal- ist Socialist pamphlets. Please ac- l. kf1nowledge by telegram to name of Decker, the arrival of the pamphlets, together woth number and date of re- ceipt.
 "(Signed) Krich. Deutsche Bank" :" Imagine Krich of the Deutsche bank plotting with German-Swed- ish Socialist for the overthrow of Russian Czardom through the Maxi malist Socialist pamphlets, and ad- vancing for the printing and publish i ing of these pamphlets, $16,400. in cold cash.
 But that is not all.
 In another letter signed by Herr Scheidemann, himself known as a leading Socialist in Germany, and holder >of a seat in the Reichstag, leader of the Majority Socialist par ty-better known as the German Kaiser Socialist party-addressed to OIberg, regarding Maxim-Gorky, we read the following remarkably signifi- cant letter:
 Berlin, August 25, 1917.
 'To M .Olberg.
  ed on your correspondence with Maxim Eorky, responds entirely to the par tvs intentions. In agreement with the persons you know, we place at your disposal through the Mia Ban ken NM. F'urstenberg, the sum of 150,000 marks (nomina1ly $S8, Kindley let Vorwarts know everything written by Maxim Gorky's journal in l Ak &1aa vooVynT,oanf Qtnr- nal greeting.
 | "(Signed) Scheidemann."
 The above letter shows that Max i'm Gorky the Great has dickered with the German Imperial slush fund to debauch other countries through the instrumentality of Olberg, corre- spondent with Scheidemann; and Scheidemann, in turn, having access to F'urstenberg, the German-Swedish Socialist banker, who has already been shown to be the fiscal agent of the Imperial German government. | But Katz, alias Kamkoff, and Cor ky, after all are lesser fry. The real interests and importance of these rev. olutions begin with the head of the Bolsheviki governments, Vlademir Ulianoff Lenine. Everyone remem- bers how Lenine returned from Swift zerland to Russia through Germany, in a train placed at his disposal by the Kaiser; how Lenme-s oryss> sPravda" was shower-o upon Sne =5t- diers in the front and at the rear, and how suspicious deposits of money were discovered in Russian banks, under the name of ''Friends of Len ine."
 Here is a remarkable proof that Lenine was Germany's paid agent. The Syndicate" mentioned in the following document is the Syndicate of ''Rhenish- Westphalia Mine Own CTS" If there ever was a time when money was considered tainted, it was the gold of this syndicate that should have been so considered by the so-ca1led champions of the Rus sian working man. But here they are drawing on the account of this Rhenish- -Westphalia Syndicate to the amount of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
 The next document reads: 1-Copenhagen, June IS, 1917.
 ''To M. Ruffer, at Heisingfors:
 'Sir; I inform you hereby that an order of the Syndicate a sum of 315,- 900 marks, (nominally $75, ,000) has been paid by the Diskonto Gesell- schaft to the account of M. Lenine at Kronstadt. Kindly acknowledge to M. M. Hansen and Co.,, 98 Nilandswey Copenhagen.
 "(Signed) Svenson."
 Then comes Lenine and his party, recently conducted by German agents through Germany, passports handed out to them by the special plenipoten- tiaries of Germany, and on the side, another $51,750, handed to them on their way to Petrograd as pocket money.
 Stockholm, Sept. 12, 1917.
 seTo. M. Fersen, at Kronstadt (via Helsingfors):
 "Your instructions carried out. Passports and sum mentioned, 07,0O0 marks (nominally $51,750) to the or der of your M. Lenine indicated in your letter, have been handed to the lpersons in question.
