BOLSHEVIK' IS At
WAR WITH ALLIES
Position of Russians, How
ever, is Purely One
of Defense
COSSACKS RELEASE
AMERICAN CONSUL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. - Russian
events took a new and sensational turn
today when the American government
was officially informed that the Boil
shevik regime of Russia considered it,
self i'm state of war with the Allies.
II was explained 70 Allied cOnsuls In
Moscow that the position of the Rus
SLAMS, however, was purely one Of de-
fense against inyasiOn-and that the
BolsheVid desired 10 remain in the
same position toward the Allies as the
Soviet now is toward Germany.
In making public an official cable
message announcing the new tack TAX
en- by the BOlsheviki toward those de-
string TO help their peoples the State
Department made no supplementary
comment whatever. Plans for helping
the Russian populace by way Of Nlad-
ivostok and Archangel are going for
ward rapidly and without material
change. 10 is not believed possible here
that the Soviet can organize the Rus
sian people against their Allied friends.
A message from Archangel stated
that the authorities had demanded an
explanation Of the landing OF Allied
troops at Omega. The message added
that the Bolshevik evacuated Archan-
gel in great haste after Allied airplanes
sailed over the town dropping propa-
ganda. Island batteries at the mouth
OF the river were captured by the Al
lies.
Cossacks who came to aid the Boil
sheviki against the Allies deserted the
Bolshevik and lead a counter revolu-
ton on August 2, the day the Boil
shevikl left Archangel This counter
revolution was completed on August 2
and the British, American and French
consuls who had been arrested were
released.
The Bolsheviki explained the arrest
of these officers by saying it was for
the officers protection. The American
consul. however, reported that the ar
rest was made with such haste and vio-
lence that he thought II necessary to
burn his book.
In a message from Moscow dated
July 81, American Consul Poole said
that Lenlne in a public speech before
members OF the Soviet had declared
thai a state OF war existed
Later the Allied consuls called on
the commissary for foreign affairs for
an explanation. They were told that
Lenines declaration did not necessar-
lily mean hostilities but that IL implied
a state Of defense rather than a state
of offensive war. He added that Rus
sa wished to continued with the Al
lies under similar circumstances as
with Germany.

FOUR FEINBI RG BOYS
ARE AFTER THE HUNS

Four sons and each one enlisted in
the United States army and navy against
the Huns, is the proud patriotic rec
ord Of the family Of Mr.. and Mrs. Hy-
man Felnberg, no. PIC West Eighteenth
street, this city.
A year ago the four boys were en-
gagged with their father in his business
at No. sOe-0s King street and with the
outbreak OF hostllitles, the two oldest
boys, Isaac and Samuel enlisted re-
spectively in the navy and the Della
ware National Guard Of Delaware, now
the seth Pioneer Regiment. Isaac Is
now serving with the fleet i'm European
waters and Sam is at Camp Dix, with
the likelihood Of being sent overseas
in the near future.
As soon as the two younger boys
became Of military age. they determined
to maintain the tradition set by their
older brothers. William Is enlisted in
the Radio Division OF the navy and
Henry Is now enrolled with the mar
ines. It is doubtful whether there Is
in Delaware more patriotic record
in any single family.
