State of Defense"

Washington, Aug. 12.-Cansul Poole
at Moscow has informed the state de-
partment that Lenine, the bolshevik
premier, recently declared before a
gathering of soviets in Moscow that
state OF war existed between the
Russian government and the entente
allies. In response to questions from
the allies consuls, Tchitcherin, COM
missionaire of foreign affairs, said that

considered a declaration Of war, but
that it rather was declaration of a
state OF defense on the part of Rus
ria, similar to the situation that ex-
listed at one time with Germany.
The consul's report, received by ca
BILE, gave the state department its
first official information confirming re-
ports that the bolsheviki were for
mally characterizing as an act Of war
the operations Of the allies forces
on the Thurman coast.
Tchitcherin's explanation was made
publicly, the consul said, at the re-
quest Of the allies consuls. Mr.. Poole
also reported that in spite Of denials
of the authorities, the bolsheviki were
throwing obstacles in the way Of the
departure from Russia of British and
French military representatives.
From Archangei the state depart
ment received word that the bolshe-
Wiki, upon hearing CT the landing of
allied troops at Omega had asked for
an explanation. Aviators of the al
lies dropped propaganda ia the city
of Archangel, Whereupon the bolshe-
Wiki evacuated the town before the al
lied troops marched in. The British,
French and United States consuls
were arrested on August by detach-
ment of Caucasian cavalry, for their
protection" but as previously report
er, were released upon the appear
ance of the allied soldiers.
Gen. Kikuzo Otana, one of Japan's
most noted soldiers, has been chosen

The assistance rendered by the
Americans just north Of the Somme
has been comparatively small, but
nevertheless important, for they have
captured and held positions strongly
defended by the enemy at one of the

Then she flung out Of the room

Christy has a sensible chin. now

major answered beautifully.

DO you really care so much,

The whole world I can't go away
and fight with her feeling like this.
But what can I do?"

"Oh. Will you? If you only would,
