CONSUL DEMANDS PASSPORTS
AMERICAN OFFICIAL At MOSCOW

Interests Of The United States Aro
Placed In Hands Of ewsd|sh
Go1oplate.

Washington, Aug. a5.-Consul Gen.
osal Poole at Moscow has turned over
his duties to Swedish consulate there,
destroyed his code book and asked for
safe conduct for himself and other
members Of the ofAoe to return to the
United States.
Th1e information reached the State
department. in official dispatches from
Stockholm transmitting the first word
heard from Mr.. Poole since he re-
ported under date of Aug. 2, joining
with the Allied consuls in demanding
an explanation of statement by
Lenine, Boasheviki premier, that q
state Of war existed with the Allies. =.
The consul's dispatches tell in detail
Of events, which transpired up to- a
week ago. Since then Lsnine and
Trotxky have FED to Kronstadt, and it
10 regarded as possible here that the
Bolshevid government at Moscow has
been oveTthroVn; in which case it 10
1 believed Poole would not remain there
on friendly terms with the new regime.
, In the absence~of Ambassador Fran
eis, who ta. at Arehangel Consul Poole
has been the American representative
with the Bolsheviki governments. He
reported that in spite of assurances
from Tchittcherin, the foreign com
mission, he was apprehensive for the
safety Of the consulate and called upon
the Swedish consul to take charge of
American interests after destroying
his code book as q supreme precaution.
