Department of Justice
Undeterred by Bolsheuik
Threat to Attack Francis
[Staf Correspondeucel

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE re-
ported disposition of the Bolshevik
government to retaliate against Am
bGssador Francis in the event that the
Department of Justice proceeds against
John Reed, now en- route to this coun-
try supposedly to become Bolshevik
Consul General at New York. Will nos
deter the government in the least from
acting against Reed, it was stated to-
night in an official quarter. At the
same time it was not thought likely
that the Bolsheviki would adopt any
retaHatory measures.
The State Department has received
no official Notification of the appoin.
ment OF Reed as Consul General at
New York Moreover, it is unlikely
that the State Department would recog-
nize him in that capacity at present, it
was stated. because such recognition
might constitute recognition of the Boil
shevik government and the State De-
partment is not yet prepared to take
the latter diplomatic step.
Thus far the Bolsheviki have mani
tested friendly attitude toward the
former American Ambassador, accord
ing to reports reaching Washington.
Following the "Muni' affair and the
anarchist threats against Ambassador
Francis. the Bolsheviki have placed a
guard about the American Embassy in

Hun Troops Revolt
At Grodno and Kovno
LRy Tho Associated Pressl

PETROGRAD, Tuesday. Feb. 12.-
German soldiers at Grodno and Kovno
according to report received here
from Moscow, have refused to obey
command to move TO the French front
The troops have intrenched themselves
under the protection of their own artl-
lery and have defeated detachment
Of loyal forces which the German staff
sent to punish them.
The foregoing dispatch may be ar
echo of an earlier report of d mutinv
of German soldiers on the Russian
front. The Russian Wireless News Ser
vice sent out a message on January
. to the effect that 25 900 German sol
diers in the region east of kovno had
revolted in consequence of the German
governments drafting of all soldiers
below the age of thlr,y-tive for service
on the Western front. German dc
serters here are quoted as saving .he
men rebelled, marched out of the bat
tile line and lntrenched themselves
with rifles and machine guns against
other German units.
The German military authorities
were said TO have been powerless
against the mutineers and were en-.
deavoring to cut off their food sun-
plies. One of the motives for the re-.
volt, according to the German desert.
crs, was that the sending of troon4
to the Western front was a contra
ventlon of the Russo-(,erman armist;r,
agreement. ~ :

For Consul Reed
S Selection of American
as Representative Here Con

STOCKHOLM, Feb. 16. John Reed,
tho writer who is under Indictment in
the United States for alleged sedltlouS
activities, has arrived here from retro
Grad on his way to New York to take
up the most Of Consul General in that
CITY under a Boshcvik commission.
Reed told The Associated Press CORE
spondent the following story OF now ne
same to be appointed:
Desiring to take quantity OF notes
and other written matter to America
without interference by the censorship,
Reed visited Foreign Minister IrotzN&y
and asked to be appointed a Bolshevlk
courier. Trotzky told him the govern,
ment would do better than that and
would make him Consul General in New
York.
Trotzky is said to have told Reed
that if any attempt were made by the
American authorities to prosecute him
under an indictment pending against
Bolsheviki would retaliate on Ambassa-
sidercd, therefore, in the nature of a
dares defy Trotzky.
The first announcement of Reeds ap-
pointment as consul of the Workmen's 5
and Soldiers Republic in New York in
succession to Michael VI. Oustinotf,
who holds that office at present, was
contained in a dispatch from Petro-
grad January 20. Reed has been in
Russia several months participating in
meetings of the Bolsheviki and made
several addresses

establish an ordered government was
impossible. Many of these soldiers are
not Bolsheviki, but their mere presence
was a deterrent. Now they are gradu-
ally departing for farms and villages,
and it will be impossible ever to re-
call them
"This is especially true of Moscow,
where the opponents Of Nikolai Lenine
and Leon Trotzky are beginning to pluck
up courage. Another factor against
the Bolsheviki is their campaign against
the Church. The recent procession in
Petrograd, headed by priests, was an
imposing affair, and the Bolshevik did
not think it prudent to attempt by force
the educated Russians favor separation
of Church and State, but do not like
the idea OF contscation of Church prop
critics by such people as those compos-
ing the present government.
The Jews are growing uneasy over
the symptoms Of anti-Jewish agitation.
Anti-Semitism is deeply ingrained in
large masses Of the Russian Catholics,
whose sentiments are further enbit-
tered By the fact that the present gov
ernment, under which the people have
suffered such humiliation and hard
ships, is made up principally Of Jews
A prominent Jew said to ME last week =:
When the reaction comes they will take
it out on us
The American said that the principal
grave situation with regard to food
was in respect to bread, which con
tains straw and is almost uneatable
He said it was feared that the peace be-
tween the Ukraine and the Central Pow
ers would make still worse the food
