GERMANS USE ANTILIGHT
TO CONCEAL CANNON FIRE
Substance Creates Certain Amount OF
Smoke Around the Mouth OF
Big Guns

AMSTERDAM, July 2o.-The Ger
mans are using "antilight"-haubitz-
kartusch-v oilage-to conceal cannon
fire at night. This substance, com
posed simply OF chlorine of potassium
from the German mines at Strassfrost,
creates a certain amount Of smoke
around the mouth OF the gun. giving
a red tinge to the light produced by
the explosion. This greatly dfminishes
the visibility OF tho fire and does away
with some of the light reflected in the
sky. The allies have equally effective

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 8.-The lack of
reliable information possessed by Fin
land and Sweden concerning internal
affairs in Russia amazed the American
and Italian refugees who have just ar
rived here from Russian territory.
They were likewise much surprised to
find Finland and Sweden in such a
normal condition.
The Bolshcvik and German news
papers and propagandists have the
field all to themselves in supplying
Russia with what information they
choose regarding outside affairs. and
they also monopolize the reports going
out of the country.
Bolshcvik Russia now stands in ab-
solute telegraphic isolation from the
rest of the world. with the single ex-
ception Of the outlet through Ger
many. Telegraphing is no longer pos
sible through the Ukraine. Finland
Siberia or Northern Russian ports.
Consequently, the Bolshevik wireless
service apd the German-censored and
German colorcd dispatches alone sup
ply the outside world with Russian
news.
Friction Over News
AS a matter of fact there is constant
friction between the Dolsheviki and
the Germans over the transmission of
information, and they are making
Wholesale charges and counter charges
of unfairness in the treatment of the
news. Meanwhile, the neutral nations,
as we'll as the belligerents, are suffer
ing from the pernicious campaign of
Justification.
Russia is given l:ttle foreign news
except that which indicates weakness
on the part of the Entente powers and
