Apology to Berlin.

Basel, July 7.-Nikolai Le-
nine, bolshevik premier, has
sent the following message to
M. Joffe, Russian minister at
Berlin, regarding the assassina-
tion of Count Won Mirbach, the
German ambassador at Mos
COW:
1.-TWO unknown men entered the
German embassy at o'clock this
Saturday afternoon, having docu-
ments from special committee. They
threw bomb in Count Won Mirbach's
Office, wounding him so severely he
Government representatives imme-
diately visited the embassy and ex-
pressed Indignation at the act, which
they considered as a political maneu-
We, to provoke trouble. The govern
ment is taking every measure to dis
cover the murderers and bring them
before special revolutionary tribun-
al.
Extra measures have been taken to
protect the German embassy and citi-
zens. The government requests you
TO express to the German government
the Russian governments indignation
and convey its sympathy to the family
OF the late count"
Ministers Express Regret.
Paris, July IA soon as the news
of the assassination of Count Won
Mirbach, German ambassador at Mos
COW, came to NJ. Tchitcherin, the Rus
sian foreign minister, M. Tchitcherin
and his associate, M. Karakhan, called
at the German embassy and expressed
The regret and indignation of the gov
srnment at the occurrence, says a
Berlin dispatch, forwarded by the
Havas correspondent at Basel.
The identity of the assassins has
not been established, nor have they
been arrested, the message states.
1t appears. according to these ad-
vices, that with Count Won Mirbach
when he was attacked, were Herr
Ritzler, counsellor OF the embassy,
and a German officer. Neither was
injured,
Good Thing" Kerensky's Comment.
Alexander f. kerensky, when in
formed by the Associated Press of the
assassination of General Count Won
Mirbach, said, while he could not feel
elated at the death of human be-
ing he could not help saying 1T is
a good thing for Russia"
NJ. Kerensky seemed reluctant to
believe the news, asking repeatedly,
Are you sure?" When informed that
the news seemed perfectly reliable as
It originated in Berlin, he said:
This may be the beginning of the
renaissance of Russia" S."
But now the Germans will surely
go to Moscow" he added sadly.

Germans to Use 30 or 40
Divisions in Drive on
The Western Front

With the American Army in
France, July 7.--Resumption of the
German offensive against some part
of the allied line is believed to be
near.
1t may be said that there are
three logical points for the enemy's
attack-the Chateau Thierry re-
gion, the line north of Chalons and
in the neighborhood of Abbeville, in
the Flanders sector. An assault
north of Chalons or againt Able
vile would be less costly to him.
but in the former he would get less
important territory than before
Abbeville, where his loss would be
heavier.
From the best information obtain
able it appears that the Germans
during the coming offensive will
have between 30 and 40 divisions
capable of participating in the at
tack.
