Trotzky Appeals For Help in Or
ganizing Army to Fight Ger
man invasion.
FOE MENACES MOSCOW
Minister of Mar Also Asks Assistance
of U. S. to Reoreanize Russian
Railroads to Carry Out Mill
tary Campaign.

London, March 22.-According to
dispatches from Moscow Russia has
turned to America in its hour of dis
tress, with the realization of Ger.
many's intention to occupy the West
ern provinces of Russia, Petrograd,
and possibly Moscow.
Leon Trotsky, now Russian minis
ter of war, has appealed to the Uni
ted States to assist in organizing q
volunteer Russian army to resume
war on Germany, and also to help
reorganize Russia's railways to make
possible the carrying out of a mill.
tary campaign.
Trotzky's action followed the an.
nouncement of NJ. Tchitcherin, Bolshe-
Wiki foreign minister, that Russ!a's
relations with the Allies are un-
changed.
The two incidents have aroused
hope in London and Russia may yet
be saved to the Allied cause.
Wilson's Stand Cause Seen.
1t Is believed here that President
Wilson's note to the Russian congress
of Soviets, and the stand of the Uni
ted States against Intervention In 81
IBERIA are responsible for the new at
titude of the B~olsheviki leaders.
Trotzky's first request upon the
United States for assistance was SEN
to the American military mission. 1t
was for 10 American officers to as
sist him as inspectors in organizing
and training a new volunteer army.
He aked the members of the Amerr
can railway mission still remaining
in Russia again to take up their work
of recognizing the railroads.
Asks For Railway Equipment.
Trotzky also appealed to the Amer.
lean government for railway equip
ment, particularly locomotives and
cars.
The Moscow messages do not state
what action the American missions
have taken.
Trotzky Is now preparing for the
defense of Moscow, having gone there
from Petrograd, which is expected to
be occupied by the Germans shortly.
Russia advices indicate that the
Bolsheviki while preparing to give up
P%etrograd without a struggle, are ser.
iously concerned over Moscow, fear
ing they may have to evacuate the
ancient capital as we'll as the more
modern one.
Americans viii Investigate.
T~rotzky's reply to the Allies In
Iuiries concerning reports that the
Bolsheviki had armed thousands of
German and Austrian war prisoners
in Siberia, who now threatened the
Siberian railway a
"Send trained officers and investi-
gate. / will give you a train"
The offer was accepted and Captain
William r.. Webster of the American
Red Cross and Captain w. l.. Hicks
Of the British military mission left
for Irkutsch, Tehita and other points
where the Germans are reported to
be provided with rifles, field pieces
and ammunition.

Seventy Seven Dutch Vessels In
American Waters Are Taken
Over BY Government.
GERMAN THREATS MADE
Said BY President to Be Responsible
For Action of Dutch Nation In
Matter-Britain Also
Takes Ships.

Washington, March 22.-The United
States has requisitioned all Dutch
ships in American waters upon Hol-
lands refusal in the face of German
threats to put into effect her volun-
tary agreement for restoring her mer-
chant marine to activity. u. S.
naval guards went ON board the ships
Immediately. At the same time Great
Britain was taking owe Dutch yes.
sells in British ports.
A total of n ships of probably 60O,-
600 tons was added to the American
merchant marine by the requisition-
ing. Another 400, 900 tons are put into
the Allied service by Great Britain's
action. Most of them will be used in
the food carrying trade between the
United States and Europe.
President Wilson's proclamation
taking over the ships was issued only
after word finally came from London
that Hollands delayed reply was a
rejection of the British-American de-
mand.
Guarantee Made to Holland.
The government had waited more
han As hours beyond the time when
Holland had been requested to make
a decision as to whether she would
carry out the original pact or submit
to requisitioning. Every effort was
made to avoid drastic action, as trans
fer by agreement was sought, rather
than by seizure, although the latter is
an exercise of sovereign rights justi-
fed i'm international law and practiced
by all nations.
Although the ships had been taken
owe without any formal agreement,
the United States proposes to carry
out scrupulously the terms OF the or
iginal pact, so that Holland shall re-
ceive ample ioodstuffs and will be pro-
tected in her colonial trade by having
sufficient tonnage to maintain its
commerce..
The Presidents proclamation was
issued, authorizing the navy to take
over the vessels, which will be
equipped and operated by the Navy
department and the Shipping board,
the Dutch crews being supplemented
by American civilian sailors and naval
reservists, Compensation will be
made to the owners, as required by
law.

President Makes Statement.

In a statement outlining the nego-
.iations which preceded the requisi.
tioning, President Wilson pointed out
that the permanent agreement with
the Dutch government had been
blocked by Germany, despite the lit
tie Kingdoms acute need OF food
stuffs, for which the agreement pro-
vided. A temporary agreement then
was negotiated to tide over the
emergency and that too, was held up
by Prussian diplomacy.
Although the reason never was
formally expressed" the President
said, ut was generally known that
the Dutch shipowners feared lest
their ships would be destroyed by
German submarines. That this fear
was not wholly unjustified has unhap-
PLY been shown by the recent act OF
the German government in sinking
the Spanish ship Sardinero outside
the danger zone, when carrying a
cargo OF grain for Switzerland, and
after the submarine commander had
ascertained this fact by an inspection
of the ships papers"
For two months the proposed agree
ments lay in diplomatic pigeon holes
without action and meanwhile, the
President says:
German threats have grown more
violent" The final proposal to Hol-
land was transmitted on March 7 and
set last Monday as the time by which
a reply was wished. Failing to receive
a favorable reply, the United States
proceeded to requisition the ships as
dictated by military necessity.
