Plea for Soviet Snare, Asserts Prof. Konf

Strange reports have reached this coun

that Paul Milukov had Joined the pro-
German party in Russia. To those who
know the leader of the constitutional
democratic party of Russia, or the party
Of the Peoples Freedom, as it is now
called, the reports that Milukov has be-
come pro-German are just as incredible
! as if reports were circulated stating that
J Theodore Roosevelt had become a pro.

for Russians that people now know who
the Bolsheviki are: there Is no further
need TO explain the treachery and the
bad faith OF this small gang, the real
cause OF Russias trouble and her shame
ful dismem berment. Enough has been
said about these traitors. fanatics luna
tics and murderers: the proofs against
them are sufficiently convincing for
American public opinion to condemn both
their ideals and their methods. Public
opinion. the press. the utcerances Of lead
ing Americans, are SO wonderfully con-
sistent on this question that one need not
lose time in discussing the mischief al
ready done the whole world by the Rus
sian Bolsheviki, led and directed by the
clever hand Of Germany.
II no longer have any fear-as some of
my countrymen had last spring-that
crowd as legitimate Russian government.
Americans are told that the idea OF the
sovyet government is that Of a very demo-
cratic representation OF the Russian people
at large. especially the working men. the
peasants and the soldiers. This is still
the title the sovyets love. though it does
not in the least correspond with the real
state of affairs. There is no doubt what
ever that II the sovyets did represent Rus
sian democracy they would. sooner or
later, develop into real system Of govern
ment.

ia ton to come to Berlin and meet the

He introduced me to a man whom he
called his chief and my future chief. They
fixed my salary and told me that the first
thing they wanted me to do was to take
trip to Russia. They described the
beauties of such trips and warned me to
be on my guard as far as the Russian
police were concerned. 1 replied that l
was ready to obey the orders OF my new
chief.
The captain brought two books about

He came to see me and told me that

my idea, and promised to secure for me 8
