ington.-Through the commit
zee on public information the United
States government has submitted to
the world, in a series of official docu-
ments, absolute proof that Lenlne and
Trotzky, the bOlshevik leaders, are the
paid tools of Germany and betrayed
Russia for Hun gold.
Secured in Russia by Edgar G. Sis

show how the German government
through its Imperial bank paid its gold

diate associates to betray Russia into
deserving her allies, but give added
proofs that Germany had perfected her
plans for war Of world conquest long
before the assassinations at Sarajevo,
which conveniently furnished her pre-
text.
Hun Plots Against America.
These documents further show that
before the world war was four months
old, and more than two years before
the United States was drawn into 1t

D1s in, -
nature with the notorious Zimmer-
man note proposing war by Mexico
and Japan upon the United States,
these documents lay bare new strata
of Prussian intrigue, new view of
the workings of kultur to disrupt the
allies standing between the world and
kaiserism. They disclose also new
story Of human treachery for gold.
The intrigue appears to have been
carried down to the last detail of ar

Revolution Staged by Berlin.
Not only do the disclosures prove
that Lenine, TrOtzky, and their band
are paid German agents. They show
that the bOlshevik revolution, which
threw Russia into such orgy of mur-
der and excesses as the world seldom
has seen, actually was arranged by the
German general staff.
They show how the paid agents of
Germany betrayed Russia at the Brest-
LitOvsk peace" conference; how Ger
man staff officers have been secretly
received by the bolsheviki as military
advisers; how they have acted as spies
upon the embassies of the nations
with which Russia was allied or at
peace; how they have directed the
bolshevik foreign, domestic and eco
nOmic policy wholly in the interest Of
Germany, and to the shame and deg
radiation of Russia.

record.
Some of the originals, it is shown,
although deposited in the archives of
the bolsheviki, were required to be
returned later to representatives of
the German general staff in Petrograd
that they might be destroyed.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, May D-The new
American line now runs $50 to 200
yards east OF Cantigny as a result OF

struck in mist The French tanks sp-

the American artillery already has pre-.

and shone on the Americans as they
dug in their new positions.
The Americans penetrated the
German positions to q tepth Of
nearly a mile. Their artillery com
pletely smothered the Germans.
The roar Of the American guns
could be heard for many miles in
the rear. Several fires are burn

As the Americans started out across
No Mans Land there were many Jokes
about eating boche for breakfast" The
Americans fought as though they were
veterans and there was no hesitation
when the officers sprang forward and
shouted

Several officers describing the scene
agreed that the outstanding feature in
their minds was the wonderful morale
of the men and their absolute con-
fidence in themselves.
Bullets Sprayed All Around.
The Germans poured machine gun
bullets all around the Americans as they
were digging in, but no attention was
paid to them as Jokes and quips were
handed back and forth.
The demeanor of the men wounded .,
