that 10000 arrests have been made

army officers and middle class citizens.

German agents in Stockholm are
ouoted as saying on August IA that

because they felt certain of the fall of
the Bolsheviki in the near future. They
declared the Bolsheviki would prob

Social Revolutionary party, who prob

stitutional assembly, which will be rec

Sweden has been asked by the Swed-
lsh consular Office at Moscow, acting
for the American and Allied consuls
there, to send ship to Petrograd to
take away 200 refugees, or if this is
impossible to obtain permission for
these persons to pass through Finland.
1t is assumed here that the refugees
are Americans and Allied citizens seek
ing escape from Russia. Under date of
August II the Swedish Consul General
at Moscow reported that the German
government had refused safe conducts
for any refugees, Including consular
officers, and it was believed this re-
fusal would stand until negotiations
we're concluded with England concern
ing the treatment of Germans in China.

The decision of the Terauchi govern
ment to intervene in Russia, also is
believed to have offered the opposi-
tion party in Japan an oppor-
tunity to create disorders, and the
working classes, which have not
profited through the war, were Sc
lected as the portion of the populace to
stimulate the riots.
German agents have been seeking for
years to cmbroil the United States and
Japan in difficulties by spreading the
yellow peril cry throughout both the
Ua I'd States and Japan. Count Ishii,
present Ambassador to the United
States from japan, soon after his ar
rival here, credited Germany with re-

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN
The FIELD, Aug. 4.-The indomitable
spirit OF French country folk whose
homes have been invaded is one of the
most admirable things to be seen on
American battlefelds to-day There is
no glamour or satisfaction in looking
at fresh battlefield, with its tortured
ground and debris and dead. But
there is satisfaction in watching these
French home lovers, who have followed
IN the very wake of an American ad-
vance, almost watched the fiery
struggle rage around spots where they
have passed their lives and then, as the
battle moves on, make their way to the
RUNS. There is no sign Of despair in
their faces as they walk into the
wrecks that remain to them. There is
determination. These places are
"home' and to them they nave the
same significance.
The spirit of the return is the same
spirit that prompts these French peas
ants to remain at work in their fiolds
even though German shells explode
quite near. 1t is the same spirit that
leads many of them to remain in their
homes even though the Germans invade
them. The case of Publcr Boulet,
