pursuance of this that we intern the ma

AS you stated TO us that your ma
ton does not propose to destroy the
Soviets. we ask you now II you can not
tell US plainly what Great Britain wants
with US. Is Great BrItain's aim to de-
stroy the most popular government the
world has ever seen, namely the coun-
ellis OF the poor and the peasants? Is
her aim counter revolution?
"1n view OF the acts referred to by
me I must assume that that is true"
Discussing the Vaccinations going on
In Finlsnd and the baltic provinces TO

The new thrones TO be erected in the
East are not only threatened from within
but from without" the newspaper says.
The world war is not yet ended. The
new monarchies are based on the quick
sands of the Brest-Litovsk peace end
he who desires to make the Russian Dor

acknowledge as their aim the military
domination OF the world by Germany.
This craze for thrones In the East
shuts the door upon a peace by under

BOLSHEVIKI LAY
PEACE TRAP FOR u. S.
Tchitcherin Note, Silent on
Germans, Attacks Allies.

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 1.-THE Bolshevik
Government of Russia as late as August
considered itself stin at peace with
the United States, although at war with
Great Britain and France. according to
a note delivered on that date by Foreign
Minister Tchitcherin 10 Consul-General
Poole at Moscow. as quoted by the Ger
man semi-offic!al Wolff Bureau.
The Bolshevik Minister said he had
placed at the Consul-General's disposal
the Russian wireless station and asked
Mr.. Poole to inform his Government
that an unjustifiabte attack was being
made upon the Bolshevik Government
NJ. Tchitcherin protested against the al
lied landing in the north. His note. as
sent by the Wolff Bureau. In n despatch
from Moscow, under date of Tuesday,
reads in part:
Dear Mr.. Poole-At the time when
Citizen Lenlne in a speech referring 10
the unjustitiable Anglo-French invasion
declared that the British and Frsuch
were In fact at war with us and you
came to ask whether peace or war ex-
listed between US and whether you. were
10 remain with us, ! replied that our
people were still at peace with yours
and that to enable you to continue act
ing as representative OF the United
states the same facilities would be
granted you as heretofore.
This possibility still holds good as
far as we are concerned. inasmuch as
the interruption OF cable communlca ton
ny way of the Thurman is the work of
Great Britain, not ours. AS the only
possibility of communicating with your
Government we have placed our wireless
station at your disposal
I'VE therefore request you to inform
your. Government and peoples abroad
that completely unJustihable attacl,
and pronounced act OF violence is be-
Ing committed upon w. We have done
nothing to deserve such an attack.
without a declareti ton of war and
without the existence OF state OF war
hostilities are opened against us and
our national property is pllaged.
Our retaliation against those who
shoot the members Of our Sovets does
not take the shape OF similar acts
against representatives OF these Govern
ments. The official Government repre-
sentatives enjoy an immunity which is
refused by the latters' official depart
ments TO our Soviet members
While We take this attitude toward
the official representatives OF Great
Britain and France, we take into con-
slderauon your own urgent request be-
cause we regard you as the representa-
i've or nation which, to use your own
words. Will undertake nothing against
