to catch the Germans off their balance when this

BRITISH DEMAND AN
IMMEDIATE REDRESS
FROM BOLSHE WIKI
If Compliance Withheld Lead
ers Of Soviet VIII Be
Classed Outlaws.

London Sept. 5.-Threatening to de-
clare members of the bolshevik gov
ernment International outlaws, Great
Britain has demanded instant redress
for the attack on the British embassy
in Petrograd, according to an official
statement made public here today.
Punishment for all involved in the as
sault is also demanded.
The statement said:
"If the soviet government fails to
give satisfaction or if there are fur
ther outrages against British subjects,
his majesty's government will hold
members of the soviet government indi,
vidually responsible and will -endeayor
that they be treated as outlaws by the
governments of all civilized nations
and no place of refuge left them
'We have now learned that the So
Wet on August 30 ordered the arrest
of all British and French subjects be-
tween the ages of Is and 40. British
officials have been arrested on trump
ed up charges of cnspiring against the
soviets.
''Bolsheviki troops on August 81 at
tackled and forced an entry into the
British embassy, numbering the naval
attache, Captain Cromie, who defended
himself until three of his assailants
had been killed., the statement re-
lated
I" His corpse was outraged. A cler-
gyman was forbidden to say prayers
over the body. The embassy was sack
ed and all papers destroyed. Similar
attacks, it is feared, are imminent.
''The French embassy and French
military missions building have already
been entered, but the papers had been
removed previously. Word of the Brit
ish cabinets decision has been sent
to the soviet commissary for foreign
affairs
Captain Cronie, the naval attache
who was killed, commanded the British

Baker got a comprehensive view Of

remarkable Baker collection.
1t was / clock at night Baker had
been working since 9 a. m. Before the

"But the guard up there told us
nothing doing at this time of night,
Pretty tough luck, don you think"
The little man agreed.
"But | think ! can take you around
a bit, for I work in there, he added
So the tour started. The rockies
thought it was bit strange how the
guards let this man through without
any questions and even saluted as he
passed.
The little man, who hadn't introduc-
ed himself to the two friends from out
west, took them all over the endless
corridors, showing them the adjutant

At last they paused before the see
