Extreme chaos has continued to
mark the Russian situation, the only
thing that has seemed really clear
being that Germany is determined to
take advantage of the utter collapse
of Russia to seize such territory and
supplies as she desires. The Dol
shevik ENJOYS presented the humiliat-
Ing spectacle of signing peace treaty
withor' discussion. fearing as they an
nounced, that negotiations would only
result In the imposition of more OBJ
noXious terms. But even after the
Russian peace delegates had thus
debased themselves the Germans con
tinued their invasion of Russian terri
tory.
Whether the masses Of the Russian
people VIII accept the hmniliating peace
terms agreed TO by the bolshevik dele
gates is question that only time can
settle.

doned Petrograd rs the German troops

PEOPLE LEARN TRUTH
German Press Publishes Article
On American Force.
Papers Admit That Secretary Bakers
Figures Are Substantially
Correct.

Amsterdam, Aug. 24.-The German
press at last has given up struggling
against the truth. In short notice
which appears in virtually all the pa,
pers, the identical nature of which sug-
gests official inspiration, the reluctant
admission is made that Secretary
Bakers figures regarding the strength
of the American forces in France are
about correct.
One or two papers add the lame ex-
planation that their foremost figures
were based on the position prior to
May and that the really big shipments
of men from America began since
then.
The papers now comfort themselves
with the thought that of the 100000
or more Americans, only 1000 are &C
tually in battle array, with 100000 be
hind the front and that the remaining
100000 is etappen troops. engineers,
railway men and general workers.
The Berliner Taeglische Rundschau
adds as its own information that no
more than 10000 Americans have uI
to the present been noticed" ON the
West front.

OFFICER LEADS MUTINY
Russian Garrison at KraSnoye,
Selo, Is in Revolt.
War Upon the United States Is De
clared by Bolsheviki
Government.

Amsterdam, Aug. 24.-According to
the Vossiche Zeitung of Berlin, SOL
diers of the Russian garrison at Kras-
noye, Selo, summer resort Is miles
southeast of Petrograd, have mutinied.
The mutineers were led by their own
commander, Colonel Maren.
Vice Consul lmbrie Leaves.
Washington, Aug. 23.-The Bolshe-
vik government having declared a
state of war to exist between the
United States and Russia, Vice Con-
sui Imbrie lowered the American flag
on the consulate at Petrograd and
turned the archives over to the Norwe-
gian representative, according to State
department cablegrams dated Aug. 2.
This is the first specific reference to
state of war" existing between the
United States and the Bolsheviki, the
previous report affecting the Allies and
the Bolshevih
The department assumes, however,
that "the state of war declaration" is
the same as that recently declared by
the Bolsheviki at Moscow, afterward
designated as state of defense"
Imbrie will remain in Petrograd un-
til he receives instructions from the
department. His action, apparently,
was taken to protect the records in his
possession and to guard against con.
tingencies.

Naval Officials Think Submarine
Crew Has Destroyed the
Triumph.
COMB SEAS IN Vain
American Warships Unable to Find
Any Trace of Ship Used by the
Teutons to Prey on Fish
ing Fleets.

Washington, Aug. 24.-As no further
reports have been received of activity
on the part of he German sea raider
Triumph, the converted steam trawler
armed by 16 members of U-boat
crew, the belief is strengthened in
naval circles that the craft is no longer
on the north Atlantic fishing grounds
So thorough have been the steps
taken to safeguard the fishing fleets"
as described by Admiral Benson, chief
OF naval operations, that officials here
are positive the Triumph could not
have escaped the net spread for her
capture. The only possible explana-
tion of the failure of patrol craft to
capture the raider will be that she has
been sunk by her crew, possibly after
the men have returned to the sub
marine.
Submarine and Trawler Cooperate.
A Canadian Atlantic Port, Aug. a.
A German submarine, presumably the
craft which captured the Triumph, is
operating with the raiding trawler,
said Capt Seff Thomas of the Sylvania,
his schooner was sunk by the raider
AS he and his men rowed away from
their craft which the Germans bombed,
they saw two miles distant a large
submarine lying on the surface.
Destruction of another large fishing
schooner was reported with the arrival
at Gabarus, Cape Breton, of 16 of the
crew of the Della Garde. They said
their vessel was sunk on the fishing
banks by submarine. One of the
men is injured A dory with three of
the crew is missing.
The American schooner Sylvania
was sunk by the trawler. The Syl-
vania's crew reached a fishing port
near here.
The trawler also sank the Nova
Scotia fishing schooner Pasadena. The
crew, which reached ports, reported
that their vessel was sent to the bot
tom at midnight Tuesday
Entire Fishing Fleet Lost.
Montreal. Aug. 24.-Virtually the en-
tire fleet of the Maritime Fish corpo-
ration has been destroyed by the
trawler Triumph who was captured by
a German submarine crew and armed,
according to reports to the corpora

The exact number of vessels de.
stroyed is not known here but the cor
