LIES, hypocrisy
YELL THE BOLSAEV|KS

Moscow, July 21.-(Delayed) d)-A
Bolshevikl chorus of indignant pro-
tests met the statements of the Am
erican. British and Japanese govern
ments to the. Russian people, setting
forth the reasons which impel them
to dispatch troops to Russia. The
editorials in official and non-officiai
Bolsheviki papers rivaled each other
in the use Of denounciatory langu-
age and abound in such expressions
as "lies," Hypocrisy" stupidity
and others Of similar character, all
designed to convince the readers
that the allies did not mean to helr
Russia but only to crush the Soviet
government and draw the country In
to war in order to improve their owr
position on the western front.

SWORD IS
HELD over F|hNS
Country Forced TO Choose Monarchy
BY Threatening Attitude Of the
Huns-Have No Choice

Copenhagen, Oct. 10-(Correspon-
dence Of the Associated Press)-Fin-
land became a monarchy instead Of
republic solely because the Firms
yielded to German domination ac-
cording to communication from
Finnish sources published in the
Berlin Vorwaerts. The correspoE-
dent asserts that up to April last the
Finnish leaders were determined to
organize republic but in May the
government withdrew the measure
for its organization and advocated a
monarchy, giving as its reason the
fact that Germany desired it.
The vorwaerts asserts that al.
though. the German government pre-
tended to be neutral on this question,
the political section OF the German
general star supported a monarchy
in Finland.
"In reality we were not free,
writes the Finnish correspondent
Germany troops were quarteret
throughout Finland and warships la,
in Helsingfors harbor. The Finnisl
foreign minister announced in tn,
Finland Diet in July that the Ger
man government wanted monarch
list government in Finland.
The Finnish communication as
serts that some of the Firms refus'
to recognize German prince as ,
king OF Finland.
The vorwaerts predicts that
time will come when the Germai
rulers of the new Baltic countrie
will be packed OF home bag an,
baggage. II asserts that the Germal
people have been kept in ignoranc
OF the developments in Finland an,
that this has created a dangerou
position for Germany in the east.
