to find Finland and Sweden in such
normal condition. The Bolsheviki and
German newspapers and propagandists
have the field all to themselves in
supplying Russia with what informa-
ton they Choose.
Russia is given little foreign news
except that which indicates weakness
on the part of the entente powers and
the strength of the central empires.
The Bolsheviki have not only sup
pressed all the opposition newspapers
but the government now actually
prints and controls the few journals
that are still appearing in Petrograd
and Moscow.
The Associated Press correspondent
at Moscow who left Russia with the
recently arrived party and is filing this
dispatch, can testify that Americans
in Russia were treated to announce
ments that the Indians were opposing
CONSUMPTION over all America. The
people of the United States also were
described as starving and predictions
were made that allied activities on the
western front would fail because the
United States and Canada could not
furnish the necessary bread. Such
stories gained no credence among the
educated foreigners. Neither did they
believe wild reports that persons were
falling dead from hunger in London
streets. Germany and Austria are de-
nounced as fierce1y as the entente by
the BolSheviki press, whose constant
aim is to create the impression that
all the world is starving and demand
ing a proletariat government similar
to that existing in Russia.

washington, Sept 10.-With the

only one construction here. Apparently
it was intended to mean that the re-
tirement had come to an end and that
the Germans expected to stop the
allied advance along the old front.
In that event it was said today, the
light forces of the French, British
and American armies will soon reach
this defensive position and subse-
uuent operations will quickly show
how Marshal Foch proposes to as
sail the problem that bluffed the
French and British general staff-the
breaking of this advanced line of de-
Tense set up by the enemy on Belgian

1t was evident from today's reports
that the allied forces were still feeling
their way forward carefully thru the
rear guard screens of machine gunners
that still cover many portions of the
enemy's present fighting front. Be
hind this screen the Germans were
believed to have reoccupied the old
Hindenburg defenses, which probably
have been repaired and supplemented

Instead of there being demand
for a Bolshevik regime in Finland, as

tenths of the Firms express. a wiling

government rather than undergo an
other period of riot and bloodshed
such as that in which the Russian
Reds had involved them. Most of the

Even these prefer a scandinavian
ruler. The republicans, however, are
not willing to assert themselves now
lest the Red reign of terror be re-
newed.
The Bolsheviki idea is equally for
bidding to the great majority OF the
Swedes who pay no attention to the
violent propa ganda the Bolsheviki
agents are conducting in Stockholm.
There seems little doubt, however, that
Sweden and other of the neutral ma
