a good one and should make Mr..
Bichle good home. For the time
being, at least, he will continue to

This is the time of year when

only question of civic duty, but a
matter of sanitation as we'll. The
COW lots should be thoroughly
cleaned out at least once ca. n year,
and there is no better time than
now. Those having COW lots along
the public highways in particular,
should see that they are kept rea-
sonably clean. The health officer
can compel this, but one hestates
to call him eXceot as a last resort.

AMSTERDAM. August 1.-THE boil
shevik government of Russia as late
as August considered itself still at
peace with the United States. al
though at war with Great Britain and
France. according to a note delivered
on that date by Foreign Minister
Tchitcherin to Consul General Poole
at Moscow, as quoted by the German
semi-official wolr bureau.
The boishevik minister said he had
placed at the consul generals dis
posal the Russian wireless station,
and asked Mr.. Poole to inform his
government that an unjustifiable at
tack was being made upon the bolshe-
vik government. M. Tchitcherin pro-
tested against the allied landing in
the north.
His note. as sent by the Wolff bu-
reau in a dispatch from Moscow, un-
der date of Tuesday, reads:
Dear Mr.. Poole: At the time when
citizen Lenine, in a speech referring to
the unjustifiable Angio-French invasion.
declared that the British and French
were in fact at war with US, and you
came to ask whether peace or war ex-
10 remain with us, replied that our peo-
pie were still at peace with yours, and
that to enable you to continue acting as
representative of the United States the
same facilities would be granted you as

on information obtained on August IL.
It is stated in these reports that

the German consul at Petrograd are

Berlin.
