WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Jan. 81.
The acid test is being applied
to the bolsheyiki in the anarchist
threat against U. S. Ambassador
Francis at Petrograd.
Francis, whose experiences at
Petrograd have been duplicated
only by the siege about the Pekin
legation during the Chinese Box
err rebellion. Is calm and uncx-
cited under the stress of his dan
gerous position, official cables
show.
What win the bolsheviki do
is the question on every hand
now. There is reason to believe
this government either formally
or informally has already moved
to find out.
In the circumstances the Lee
Inine-TrotZky regime is placed in
q delicate situation. Torn by va
ried conflicting elements In It's
efforts to establish a government
in Russia, the bolsheviki leaders
find themselves now in a posi-
ton where they must apparently
take SIDES with the American
government against the anarch-
lists, If proper protection is al
forded Francis.
Alexander Berkmann and En-
ma Goldman, for whose liberty
the anarchists will hold Francis
virtual hostage, are to be jailed.
| When this news reaches the sail
ors and workmen results for the
threat against tlhe American am
bassador, the crisis is expected to
come Immediately.

resistance. Frequent demonstra-

French Government Plans to Reimburse

Property in War.

PHILADELPHIA, Dee. 9.-To re-
construct the destroyed portions of
France arehitecturally as they were be-
fore they were ruined by the Grmans
is the purpose of the French govern
ment az outlined by Bernard J. Shon-
niger. formerly president of the Amer
lean chamber of commerce in Paris.
Ultimately, he said. Germany will
pay the bill for restoration.
Throughout the war, he added,
French boards of appraisers have been
estimating the values of property de-
stroyed by the Huns and now have
accurate data. To those who desire to
rebuild, the French government viii
issue indemnity bonds up to 50 pei
cent of the former value of his proper.
". While the external appearance OF
the buildings rebuilt will be retained
Mr.. Shoninger said, the interiors will
be constructed in modern, sanitary
style.
Referring to the fact that the French
government has made arrangements tC
purchase materials for reconstruction
by pooling or combining it's orders, hi
suggested that American manufactur
crs would be asked to supply the ma
terials and that they promote the for

three ships bearing sick and wounded. One
of the latter, the Nansemond, arrived at
Hoboken Saturday night. The Comfort, a

to the violent stage of mental arrangement.
Most OF the men ON this ship fought at
ChateauThierry, it was said by the de-

names and had to be vouched for by at

doctor in charge called Jerry, showed {
