LoNpoS. Aug. 11.-So rapidly is the
anti Bolshevik movement growing IN
Russia and the Soviet Bolshevik Gov
ernment dis!ntesrating and growing
weaker at the same time that Nikolai
Lenine. the Premier. and Leon Trotzky.
his War Minister. have prepared to flee
to Germany at the first sign that their
Government In likely to fall Lenine and
TrotzkS. denounced as traitors through
out Russia BY thosa who are loyal to
their home land, fear for their lives once
an anti-German Government shall as

agents. according to all their actions,
Germany Is their natural haven.
At the same time that Lcnine and
Trotzky are finding affairs turning
against them and becoming too hot for
safety. tine German Embassy in Moscow
has decided to move Immediately to
Pskov. 1852 miles southwest OF Petro-
grad and appr oximately 400 miles
directly west OF Moscow. Conditions In
Moscow have become too uncertain for
the safety of the embassy. Only re-
Gently Count Won Mirbach. the German
Ambassador TO Moscow. was assassi-
mated. and following this deed Field
Marshal Won Eichhorn. the German mill
tary dictator In the Ukraine. was killed
by the bomb OF another assassin. DR..
Karl Helfferich. recently appointed to
succeed Count Won Mirbach In Moscow,
at present Is in Berlin reporting condi-
tions as he found them In Russia, and
II is believed here that the transfer of
the embassy is due to his recommen-
dation.
These advices come to London from
Berlin via Copenhagen. Owing to the
traffic conditions in Russia the en-
bassy will be forced to travel by the
way OF Petrograd, Helsingfors. Finland
and thence to Reval. on the Esthonian
coast, to its destination.
The Petrograd newspaper Isuestid Is
quoted by a correspondent as stating
that 'in that part of Russia not occupied

Agents of the Kaiser.

There are two classes of men who
are working for the kaiser as truly as
If they were on his payroll.
The first class is composed of men
who are running the chances of a corn
crop on thousands of acres of Illinois
land by selling seed corn grown so far
south that it. cannot possibly mature
a crop here. In many eases these men
are selling such corn as Illinois grown
seed, which adds to the crime. Others
are selling corn of so low or weak n
termination that much of it will never
get through the ground
The men who are seeking to get rich
quick by selling such seed corn do not
wear field-gray uniforms. Many OF
them have good American names. But
