Washington.-Thro the commit
tee on public information the United
States government has submitted v
the world in series of official docu-
mentS. absolute proof that Lenine anu
TrotZky. the bolshevik leaders, are the
paid tools of Germany and betrayed
Russia for Hun gold.
Secured in Russia by Edgar G. Sis
son. representing the committee (who
was in that country during last VIM
ter, 1911-1S) these documents not only
show how the German government
through its Imperial bank paid its goid
to Lenine, Trotzky, and their imme-
dinte associates to betray Russia into
deserving her allies, but give added
proofs that Germany had perfected her
plans for war of world conquest long
before the assassinations at Sarajevo.
which conveniently furnished her pre-
text.
Hun Plots Against America.
These documents further show that
before the world war was four months
old, and more than two years before
the United States was drawn into 1t
Gn 1910, Germany already was set

that Lenine, Trotzky, and their band

that the bolshevik revolution, which
threw Russia into such orgy of mur-

has seen, actually was arranged by the

home of Mr. and Mrs. Fisher. in the
presence of Acting Sergeant Major
Lloyd Nix. a cousin of the bride, and
n few other friends.
