w dSuILSlOu, sept. It, German trickery in breaking the Ukraine away from the bought-and-paid-for Bolshe- vike gopernment, plots against loyal Russian soldiers and their leaders to insure complete German sway after the false peace conference at Brest Litovsk and further evidence of the precautions of the Teutons against Bolsheviki preaching in their own ranks, are shown in today's install ment of secret documents from Rus- sia made public by the U. s. govern ment. Communications written in January disclose that the Rolsheviki were fully informed of what the Ger mans were doing in the Ukraine, and knew that peace treaties with the Ukraine and Roumania were coming
 They also learned quickly enough that Germany was disposing of their hopes to see their revolutionary prop uganda take root on German,soil.
 Notes from the German intelligence service to Trotzky, the commissioner of foreign affairs, show first that Turk with a Russian passport was sent to Petrograd to keep watch over the Russian commander -in-chief and that a month afterwards, late in Feb- ruary, removal of the commander-in- chief, General Bronch Bruevick, was demanded. Bruevick whose continu- ance in the position was particularly no longer desirable'' to the Germans, was turned out and General Parski, named by the German intelligence service, was appointed to command the Petrograd district. Another note from the intelligence service com plains that" the agents sent to kill Generals Kaledine Bogaevsky and Alexieff were cowardly, non-enter- prising people,
 This same document shows that as long ago as December, 1917, form CT German prisoners of war were be- ing dressed in Russian uniform to fight loyal Russian soldiers.
 The significance of the document is discussed in note by Edgar Sis son, who brought the documents out of Russia for the committee on pub- lie information.
 The Plot For Shameful Peace.
 Germany made it's Russian peace with its own puppet government, the misnamed Council of Peoples Com missars, the president of which is Vladimir Ulianov (Lenin), the foreign minister of which was Leon Trotsky, and the ambassador of which to Ger many is A. JOffe. Germany made this peace harder upon the Russian peo- pie as punishment to the ambition of it's tools in seeking to become too powerful and ill hoping for little while not only that Russia would be delivered over to them, but that they could double-cross their masters by turning simulated German .revolu- tiOn into real one.
 But their craft was a toy in the hands of rough German force. Germany was actually double-cross- ing them by negotiating with the Ukrainian Rada at the moment they dreamed they were tricking Germany
 Germany, however, did not discard the Bolshevik leaders, recognizing their further use in the German world campaign for internal disOrganizatiOn in the nations with which it wars but confined them to the limited in- land province which Great Russia proper has now become.
 Lenin, according to statements made public as soon as Trotsky's spectacular device of 'No peace-No war" failed. always was for peace on any German terms. He dominated the situation thereafter and conceded everything that Germany asked. Nor did Trotsky cease to continue to obey the German or0efs delivered to him both by Gen. Hoffman. at Brest- Lit ovsk and at Petrograd, directly by the Russian division of the German Gen. eral Staff, which was seated in Pet rograd itself from November. and which was still there in full operation when I left, Monday. March 4, the day that Petrograd received notifica- tion that peace had been signed at Brest-Litovsk by the Russian and German delegations.
 Trotsky, therefore, rests rightly under the accusation oi having staged his theatrical scene as climax to the Russian disorganization desired by Germany. The actual order he gave was for the immediate demobili- zation of the Russian army. leaving the German army unopposed.
 The actual effect of the work of the Bolshevik leaders, moreover. was to enable Germany to combine it's former army of the Russian front with it's western army for the launch ing of its March offensive in France. Such has been the fruitation of Rus sia's German directed Bolshevikism.
 The following documents tell the story of the betrayal of Russia to a shameful and ruincus peace:
