WASHINGTON, Sept. 1o-A new
treaty signed IN Berlin between Boil
shevik-comtro!led Russia and Germany
provides shat if the Russians tight
against the Allies in the north Ger
many will guarantee no attack against
Russia BY Finland.
Germany further guarantees that the
coasting and fishing fleets of Russia

this the Bosheviki promise to pay to
Germany 6,o00,o0o,00O marks (about

is to be in goods from the Ukraine,
2,5oo,oo0,ooo in gold and paper and the
remainder III German marks or Rus
sian gold.
This information came to the State
Department to-day in a dispatch from
Ambassador Francis, at Archangel. 1t
is assumed at the State Department
that this is one Of the supplements to
the Brest-Litovsk treaty.
II also indicates the deternina ton
of Germany to utilize the Bolsheviki
to the utmost in the efforts TO stem the
activities OF the Allied forces, the
Czecho Slovaks and the Don Cossacks
and other loyal Russians
Consul General Poole, at Moscow, in
belated dispatch received at the
State Department to-day, says he sent
his staff and American civilians there
out of Russia because feeling is strong
in Bolshevik controlled territory
against Americans, threatening them
with dangerous reprisals," which
might embarrass Allied military com
manders operating in Russia.
Mr.. Poole reiterated his intention OF
remaining in Moscow to support the
British and French officials forcibl,
detained by the Bolsheviki. The busi.
ness of the consulate general had come
to standstill, he said, and he hac
turned the Office over to the Norwegian
consul.

namely, that they had criticised the

WASHINGTON, Sept Il. - Youths
between nineteen and twenty years old
and men between thirty-two and thirty
ST.: inclusive will be called first for
military service under the enlarged
man power act, Provost Marshal Cen
eral CroUder announced to- day. Reg.
istrants in these two groups will
receive their questionnaires early next
week and their classification will be
completed in time. to enable their local
boards to certify them for entrainment
TO camps early in October, General
Crowder said
The provost marshal general esti-
mates that 1,121,6 Glass I men will
be available out Of the nineteen twenty
class, while upward Of 100000 will he
classified as liable for immediate mill
tary service of the men between thirty
two and thirtysix years old.
It is expected that the War Depart
ment will issue q call for approx
mately $4,000 men III the first draft
summons of October. No estimate is
available vet on the number of men to
be called in November, but provision
has been made by the Quartermaster
Corps to supply an average Of 10000
d month until the total number of
eighteen to forty-tive registrants liable
for military service is summoned.
-
General Crowder said to-day that
only a small number of men will re-
main in Class I by the time the Sep
tember calls are completed, indicating
that the draft officials look to men III
the ages Of nineteen twenty and thirty
two to thirty-six to fill practically the
entire October calls.
The eighteen year old registrants and
those thirtyseven to fortytlve years
old will not receive their question
naires until the nineteen-t twenty and
thirty-two to thirtysix classes have
been classified. Neither will any of
the declarants Of these ages be sum-
moncd until the Glass ! men in the
first two groups are exhausted.
1t is expected that the eighteen
year olds and the thirty-seven to forty
five men viii be classified as one
group, although it is the intention Of
the War Department to leave the eigh-
teen -yearold registrants to the last
moment possible before calling them
into active service.
This latter provision, however, does
not apply to the youths who will be
nducted into the service as members
Of the Students Army Training Corps,
it was pointed out to-day as they al
ready are in the military service, and
are to be permitted to remain in col
leges pursuing military and collegiate
instruction until the emergency re-
qures their actual transfer to the field.

Pressure From Vienna

That Germany intends to make a
real bid for peace, with tempting
offers to France and Italy, is GER
tain.
The present plan Of reorganiza-
ton, if it takes place, will be due to
pressure from Vienna and to inter-
nal difficulties which are confronting
the Hohenzollern dynasty. There
has been series of negotiations ex-
tending over considerable period
and the Dual Monarchy now asks
that drastic steps toward peace be
taken as the price Of it's further as

FareonB.R T.
Move Barred for SO Days;
Manhattan Night Trolleys
Ordered Continued

The Public Service Commission acted
quickly but not finally ON the new pas
senger tariff schedules filed yesterday
with the commission by the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company, calling for sn
increase IN fare to 10 cents for long
hauls where ) cents is now charged on
practically all surface lines operated
by that company.
The commission suspended the effec-
tveness of the proposed fare raise for
sixty days and directed hearing to
be held September 80, at which the
merits of the case will be investigated.
The commission also issued an order
precluding the New York Railways
Company from cutting off service on its
surface lines in Manhattan from mid
night to a. N.
The B. r. T. proposed to put the in
creased fares into effect in thirty days,
and also asked for a modification of
the present transfer system, which
would result in cutting off transfers to
and from its various lines in all the
outlying districts of Brooklyn. The
action of the commission means that
the Brooklyn company cannot put the
raise into effect for at least sixty days,
and if the commission in the mean time
finds that the proposed increase is not
justified under the circumstances an
order will be issued forbdjng it.
Move Regarded as Club
The move on the part of the Brook
iyn Rapid Transit is regarded as a step
to force favorable action by the city
officials on its demand for seven-cent
fare on all its lines. The company in
Inmates as much in its petition when
1t says that if the Board of Estimate
should grant its application of July s
fer a modification of its franchise so
as to permit it to charge sevcn-cent
fare it would abandon the proposed
ten-cent fare schedules
Under the proposed schedules filed
yesterday residents of the further sec
tion of Flatbush, of all of Bay Ridge
and of many other populous districts
of Brooklyn would have to pay ID ten
cent fare to Manhattan. The propoA,d
tariffs are worked out under a zone
system which greatly limits the five
ent fare radius and doubles the pres
ent fare in many instances.
Court Decision Is Cited
The coming system was resorted TO
in view of the recent court decision
that the Public Service Commission
has no power to increase traffic rates
beyond the iive-cent fare provided in
franchises granted by a city. The
company contends that it has the legal
right under its franchises to charge
the two fve-cent fares where it now
charges only one. Neither the city nor
the Public Service Commission con
cedcs that such legal right exists
but if it did the proposed new tariff
schedules would still be subject to the
approval Of the Public Service Com
mission. The Corporation Counsel and
counsel for the commission expressed

signs and unaccustomed to thinking
deeply, and these are now talking
trustingly Of the war being over by
winter. But the officers on the line,
meeting Tightening German resistance
in prepared defences, do net talk in
the same way.
Last night, in the wild storm, lay
with the American unit on the heights
before the Aisne, while above us like
reverberating thunder was the unin-
terrupted roar of French and American
guns plastering the Boche facing US
in front of the Chemin des Danes.
It was night performance. and the
drama was staged to drive the Ger
mans from the pivot of their opera
tons in this vital corner
Opened Way to the Ailctte
Such an effort was made possible
when, after a desperate and costly de-
fence by the Boche, who we'll recog
rzed its Importance, Juvigny was capt
ured by another American unit serving
as the spear head between the French
units. This American unit opened ths
way to the French crossing of the
Aiette, in the angle between the Disc
and the Aisne, where General Mangin
is now working UP very difficult and
heavily defended ground in the drive
on Amy to outhank the Chemin des
Danes from the west.
The officer with whom | talked. to
the continuous accompaniment of great
guns, told Of. German wireless COM
muniques he had snatched from the
air, which indicate that the Boche is
neither in a confused state of mind,
as his mixed army units may suggest,
nor is he withholding essential facts
about the situation from Germany.
Judged by these messages he is deal
ing unrescrvedly with the situation.
Objective in Rearward March
As VIC tally it from this side, the
Bochc has definite objective in his
rcarward march. Here he appears con-
fident he can stand but this, of course,
does not take into consideration the
blows that are in store for him. He
knows not what they are, and they are
certain to again completely upset his
immediate plans and his future pros
poets of checking the Ally advance
The character of the messages serves
merely to reveal the state of the
German mind which seems not so
perplexed as is thought Notwith
standing the continued success of
the Allied offensive and the obv-
ously shaken condition of at least 8
part of the German army, conservative
and experienced officers, wise in the
