GERMAN INFLUENCE
IN FINLAND SHOWN
tBy Associated Press)

Washington, Sept. 20-How the
iron hand of the German general staff
was extended into Finland through the
Geqman-paid Russian Bolshevik gov
.Ernment is pictured in today's Install
ment Of secret documents brought out
Of Russia for the American govern
ment.
There also are some peremptory
notes from the German military intel,
ligence service to Trotzky, the Boil
shevik foreign minister, telling more
Of the story of the suppression of
revolutionary propaganda after it had
played its part in throwing the prov
inces into German control.
When the Bolsheviki were slow
about opening the way for complete
sway for their masters in Finland,
the German intelligence service had
"the honor" to remind them thtat the
withdrawal and disarming of the Rus
sian Red Guard in Finland must be
commenced Immediately. Further
more, the Russian agents We're direct
ed to send to Finland a trusty agent
to deal with Yarvo Haapalainen, chief
of the Finnish White Guard, who was
disposed TO be loyal to his country.
This, Edgar Sisson, who prorcured the
documents, explains in a note, ac-
counts for the sudden withdrawal of
the Red Guard last March, leaving
Finland to her fate. Some of the Rus
slams resisted disarmament, but they
weer beaten.
A series of curt orders from the in
telligence service to Trotzky calls for
the removal of all agitators from the
Ukraine, Estland, Litva and Courland,
and for the restoration of rights and
property to German landlords who
had been declared outlawed in Est
land.
Other communications throw further
light on assassination compacts be- |
tween the Bolsheviki and anarchists, |
which have figured in earlier chapters
of the series. A list of anarchists, |
hired as "agents for the destruction
of counter revolutionists," includes |
several characters of international no.

If Boy Scout rings your door bell
in the next few days and asks how
many walnut trees you own don't be
surprised. He has come on govern
ment business. Everyone is being
visited in this same way. The Boy
Scouts are taking a black walnut
census in Keokuk.
The government wants to know the
location of black walnut trees, names
Of their owners, sizes of the trees and
the price at which they can be pur-
chased. e. G. Weisman, scout COM
missioner for Keokuk, says the CEN
sus work here has already gotten un-
der way.
The wood is wanted by the ord
nance department for the manufac-
ture of gunstocks and by the signal
corps for the manufacture of propel-
lers for battle and bombing airplanes.
There is an abundance of it in and
near Keokuk, it is said.
An effort will be made to have the
canvass completed SO that 1t will be
unnecessary to repeat it should the
war last five years.
The scouts have been warned that
reports have been circulated to the
effect that black walnut is only want
ed from owners who can furnish car
load lots. But carloads at any one
point may be made up from timber
secured from several owners.

BATTLE OVER
WIRE CONTROL
Measure Expected to Pass Virtually
Unamended After Long Debate
and Much Strong
Opposition.

by L. C. Martin, United Press Staff
Correspondent
WASHINGTON. July 1.-THE bat
tie over wire control legislation
probably the last hot skirmish before
the measure passes-centered today
in the senate about the right Of press
associations to distribute news indie
pendent of government control
Senator Watson, Indiana, was pre-
pared to speak ON his amendment ex-
empting telephones and wires leased
by news associations from the scope
of the resolution. Desire for recess
now overshadows everything in con-
gress, however, and 1t appears likely
today the measure will pass before
tomorrow, virtually unamended.
Senator Lewis assertions yester-
day that Postmaster General Burle-
son would not attempt to handle
press associat ton news himself, but
place its supervision in the hands
of an experienced man selected by
newspaper publishers, tended to stem
some opposition to the resolution.
There is strong desire to know,
however, what functions this news
supervisor" would perform, whether
he would constitute a censor of the
news, and it was expected that today
would yield additional light on this
phase of the controversy. With a
vote assured soon on wire legislation,
a recess program again took definite
shape today. Senate leaders have
practically agreed to sidetrack the
prohibition fight until after recess.
Prohibition leaders are convinced
they have the necessary votes, and,
since the dry provisions would not
become operative until November
anyhow, are willing for the most part
to let a decision go oyer until thon

Mr.. Nagel points to the seriousness

His statement follows:
ut may be of interest to the

Iy it was merely a petty larceny

GOOD IDAHO LAW

Anaconda Standard The large
amount of connection and disturbance
stirred up by the /. w. w. in the past
wear makes it likely that many western
states, when their legislatures meet
again, will enact law patterned after
the one passed by the legislature OF
Idaho last winter.
The law is known as the criminal
svndicalism or sabotage law. Under
its provisions it is not necessary that a
man be guilty of actual sabotage IN
order to be convicted, but only that he
has advocated and advised sabotage.
The sentence imposed on conviction is
from ] to IA years.
That the law is effective is vouched
for by the fact that two prisoners are
row in the Idaho state penitentiary
convicted under this law. Both axe /.
W. w. members They went to the min
ing district of the Occur d'Alenes,
where the miners apparently were er-
tirely satisfied, and made speeches ad-
vocating a strike and shutting down of
the mines. Both men were convicted
and are now serving sentence.

national interests will be more thor.
oughly upheld than under the former
method of individual control of rail
operations. Freight will be routed the
quickest way, regardless of the rail
road lines over which it passes. and
IN this way it is believed that FREIGHT
congestion will be relieved. Engines of
one road will, where needed, be used
on another, and the same rule will hold
good IN respect to cars. Passenger
service will be curtailed to minimum
requirements, and many engines norm.
ally used in passenger service will be
utilized for hauling freight. Congestion
of coal and food shipments in the
United States is the first situation to
be relieved by government abolition of
the competitive system among the rail.
roads.
While no official word has gone forth
that the government will operate the
railroads longer than for duration of
the war, it is not altogether improba-
BILE that the government later will con
slider permanently operating the rail
roads of the United States.
