along. He poked one of the sleeping

Further evidence of this German-di-
rected effort was afforded tonight
by the news contained in a press
dispatch from Kandalaska, Russian
Lapland, that the allied embassies.
which had been forced to leave
Vologda by the BolshevilSi and had
gone to- Archangel, the White Sea
port, were obliged by the Archangel
Coviet to leave that place, and this
accounted for their presence in Kan
dalaska.
The treatment accorded to the Dip
lomatic representatives by the Bolshe-
visit central authority is an affront
that the allied governments are not
likely to overlook. No doubt IL felt
in some informed circles here that
the Soviet government is anxious to
bring about clash that will sever
all relations between itself and the
allied representatives.
Evidence has been accommodating
that the Bolshevist government at
Moscow was completely subservient
to the Germans. 1t is apparent to
those who have followed the situation
closely that the Bolshevist leaders,
like Lenine and Trotzky, are willing
to sacrifice Russia as long as they
are retained in power by their Ger
man masters, to whom they sold out
''"ssin through the treaty OF Brest-
Litovsk.

Staked Out Little Son

shot with a rifle and felt sure he
could have killed the beast before
