THE FIELD. Aug. 8: (Night)-On
thing apparently revealed by the lack
OF German resistance at some points
of the Albert Montdidier front today
was the degree with which the enemy
lines were stripped to furnish men for
the disastrous Marne campaign.
The part played by the French in to-
days battle was comparatively small
they merely sustaining the right wing
OF the British advance. They actually
started on a front OF only four kilo-
meters (two and a half miles) but
this later was widened.
At the beginning OF the attack the
French lines were between Bources
and q point west of Morizel south OF
the Amiens- Roye road. With the
widening OF the lines II included the
whole OF the Avre river as far as
Hargicourt (four miles north OF
Montdidier).
Three hours after the French infan-
try dashed forward they were holding
the wood northeast Of Moreutl and the
town OF Morizei. In the latter place
they sneountered stun resistance. ne

Murdered Ambassador
Instlgated Uprising

STOCKHOLM, Aug. s;-Mirbach.
the German ambassador who recently
was mysteriously murdered, precipi-
tated the Cheohoslovak uprising
which is adding one more chapter to
Russia's bloody revolutionary history.
From the most direct sources have
been learned the real story, now told
for the first time In America, OF the
cause of this uprising.
Mirbach, as Germany's representa-
tive, demanded that the soviets at
Pensa not only disarm, but imprison,
the Chechoslovaks.
The Chechoslovaks sent q delega-
ton to the local soviet chairman.
Kurayeff, protesting against such ac-
ton. Kurayeff insisted that the or
der be carried out, whereupon the
Chechoslovaks with their bare hands
literally wiped out the local Bolshe-
Wiki and Red Guards.
Then the Chechoslovaks called a
meeting of representatives of all
democratic and socialist parties. re-
ported on the action they had taken.
and showed documents proving Mir
baeh's participation in the plot
against the Chechoslovaks.
The meeting closed with the Chech-
osloyaks' promise to leave the city,
which they did. taking arms and am
munition. Bolshevik reinforcements
arrived the next day. and proclaimed
an alleged defeat of the Chechoslov-
ak force. Repressions were Increased
among the local population.
All Bolshevik talk about desire
on the part OF the Chechoslovaks for
a counter revolution is but an arro-
CANT lie. These people have no de-
sire TO interfere with the internal
situation in Russia, and resorted TO
violence only when maddened by the
contemplate bolshevik surrender TO
Mirbach's demand.
