Americans, including all consular Off
GERS except Consul General Poole, all
the personnel of the Y. NJ. c. A. and
Y W. c. A, representatives of the
American bank and a NUM- Der of pri-
vate citizens left Moscow for Petro-
grad on q special train the evening
of August 26. American interests
previously had been turned over to
the Swedish consulate.
With the Americans were the Ital-
ian military mission, a party of sew en-
ty-one persons. This news transmit

ment did not confirm recent reports
from German sources that the last of
the entente representatives had left
Moscow and 1t is thought here that
the British and French consular Off

Poole Stands by Allied Consuls
In belate1 dispatches received to-
day from Mr.. Poole himself, the last
dated August 26. the consul general
reiterated his intention of remaining
in Moscow to give moral support to
his British and French colleagues,
held by the Bolshevik government.
The Swedish government also adj
vised that passports of the Americans
and others who had left Moscow had
been vised to leave Russia and that
permission from the Finnish govern
ment to pass thru Finland would be
awaited at Petrograd. This permits
sion already has been authorized.

HARRY CAYLOR IN CITY
Former State journal Man Is Now
Yeoman in Navy.

Yeoman Harry c. Caylof is in To-
peka on a weekend leave from the
navy recruiting station in Kansas City.
Refusal of the navy to accept further
volunteer enlistments has resulted in
the practical closing of a number of
stations. Cayior, however, will doubt
less continue in his present service-in
the intelligence or publicity depart
ment of the navy.
Prior to his enlistment in the naval
service several weeks ago, Caylor was
for several years a reporter on the
State Journal. He has hundreds of
friends in Topeka and was recognized
as one of the cleverest and most able
news writers in the state. He waived
all claims for exemption and entered
the navy after he had been denied a
place in several branches of the army
service.
This morning Caylor walked into
the State Journal office clad in his
navy toys. Then, for twenty minutes,
he demonstrated the marvellous ad-
vantages of a naval uniform a prac-
teal tool kit and utility bag. Inside
his jacket the former reporter carried
personal belongings ranging from
cigarette papers to soiled shirt. All
of the advantages of a knitting bag
had been combined in Caylor's use of
his new uniform and further develop
ment of natural advantages may per-
nit him to go on the nigh seas carry
ing a ham, an encyclopedia and
enough smokes" and matches to in
sure a pleasant thirty days on the
high seas

CALL TO BOURGEOISIE
BoIsfreyiki Ask Them To Join Labor
ers in Support of Government.


Copenhagen, Aug. 31.-Bolshevik
authorities in Russia appear to regard
their position as more secure than for
merly. according to Hans Worst, prob
ably Germanys best informed writer
on Russian affairs, in the course of
a review of the situation printed in
the Tageblatt of Berlin.
Writing from Moscow on August 20,
Worst says that the main reasons for
the change in the attitude of the au-
thorities are the recent victories over
the Czecho-Slovaks, the feeling that
entente intervention in Russia is less
formidable than was at first feared
and the recent German defeats which
have given rise to a feeling that there
was nothing to fear from Germany.
Worst calls attention to the fact that
an articles appearing in the Pravada,
on August Il, from the pen of a Boil
sheviki leader employed a tone never
before used from this source in an
appeal to the Bourgeoisie to make
common cause with the laborers.
