Bolsheviki Plead
With Berlin to
Stop Hostilities
They Deny German Claim
That Black Sea Fleet Is
Planning Attack

LONDON, May 12.--In a wireless
message to Ambassador Joffe at Berlin
the Russian Foreign Minister, NJ
Tchitchcrir. instructs the ambassador
to "try to obtain from Berlin cessation
Of every kind of hostility" The dis
patch adds:
Captures of our territory are in
violation of the state of peace with Ger
many and are causing great unrest
among the masses of our population"
NJ. JoFe also is instructed to notify
Germany that pert of the Russian Black
Sea fleet which has left Sebastopol is
now at Novorossysk, on the east coast
OF the Black Sea, which port the Ger
mans are threatening to capture, on the
ground that their own warships areSin
danger of attack by the Russians. NJ
Tchitcherin says the Russian warships
there will make no such attack.
A Reuter- dispatch filed at Moscow on
May says Germany has announced
that all armed vessels in the BLACK Sea.
including any ships on which are sail
ors OF the Russian Black Sea feet, will
De treated as enemy warships The
reason assigned for this action is an
attack said to have been made on
German submarine in the Black Sea.
Other wireless messages sent from
the Russian government to Berlin
MAKE disclosures regarding German
methods in Russia. One complaint
deals with message received by the
Ukrainian colony in Petrograd from
Ukraine, in which it is stated that the
frontier has been closed by the Ger
mans to all Ukrainians. The evacua-
ton of ukrainians from Russia is
being carried out by means of wagons
under terrible conditions, particularly
for the sick and for children. 1t could
be effected easily by the River
Dnleper, the message says, but this
route has been closed to Ukrainians by
the Germans.
Count Won Mirbach, German Ambas-
sador to Russia, to whom the Ukrain-
lans applied for assistance, declared
his inability to do anything. The Rus
s!an government begs the German For
elgn Office to bring pressure to bear
on the German government, because
the needs of the Ukrainian refugees
are very great
Another complaint relates to the
evacuation of German war prisoners.

WITH AN AMERICAN MACHINE
GUN BATTALION, April 1o-They
call this the "Suicide Club" but it is
the livest aggregation of prospective
suicides that ever encamped in peace
full French countryside to prepare for
real battle in the big war of movement.
This dispatch is going to America by
mail because at this date it is forbidden
to mention that American troops aaCe
moving into the new 'front.' where Vie
hottest fighting of the war is taking
place. Long before this is printed they
Will have been at grips with the enemy.
Cable dispatches will tell that story,
but how they arrived and what they
did BY way of preparation is a story in
itself.
Two days ago this area, about ten
miles square-rolling country dotted
with villages and farmhouscs hardly
knew there was war. The occasional
far off rumble of cannon fire and the
newspapers were the only reminders.
To-day the hills, valleys, towns, viii
lagos and farms are swarming with a
new sort of soldier, hitherto locally un-
known. Cannon, large and small, poke
their noses out of farmyards, khaki
figures are skirmishing over the hills
and in the valleys, machine gun detach-
ments dash here and there going into
action, bodies of troops swing along the
roads. To-day it is Imagination. Next
week it will probably be the real thing.
Forty-eight hours ago a string of
railroad trains pulled into various sta
tions in this area and the troops de-
trained. The troops "hit" the road.
Within an hour, guns, auto trucks,
wagons, horses and mules and men
were also on the road, and every con-
ceivable variety of war material was
being transported into the various bill
letting areas.
Travels in Circus Style
The American army adopted the
French system of troops movement to
shift thousands of men from one part
of France to another in the shortest
possible time. This system is some
thing like the movement of an Ameri-
can circus. For the circus advance
agents went ahead to post bills
and pick out the best place to
pitch the "big top" In this case it
was necessary for the advance agents
to find suitable places for every officer
and man, every animal and every piece
Of paraphernalia. Then came the trains
on a railroad skirting the billeting
area. At every station one would slide
onto siding and leave the line. The

sidetracked unloaded, marched to the

and figuratively pitched the "big top"
The Suicide Club" to which the cor
respondent of The Tribune is attached,
left its train in the morning and by
evening. had pitched it's stop" in a
tidy little French town. Early the fol-
lowing morning machine gun detach-
ments were fighting imaginary Boches
all over the countryside. l walked over
the crest of a green hill to-day and
found myself covered by dozen sinis-
ter little black muzzles, which had been
placed there few minutes before to
tear up rapidly advancing group Of
the enemy.
"Hi there! Look out! You'll get
shot!'' yelled a young lieutenant l
rapidly detourcd, and moment later
the battle was on. The Boches were
coming over the crest of the hill
imaginary Boches Guns clicked in
rapid succession, while officers and men
worked their weapons in feverish haste.
Ihere was vim in tho whole thing
Next week, perhaps, these guns will
be tearing. off hundred rounds min
ute--real hot lead-and the imaginary
boches who came over the crest of the
hill to-day will be the real thing. It is
what the "Suicide Club wants, and if
1T doesn't come there will be disap-
polntment in the club. 1t all depends
on simple order from General Foch,
commander of the inter-Allied forces.
Every officer and every man with these
troops is on his toes and ready.
"First Casualty" Reported
The "first casualty" in the "Suicde
Club" happened to-day. For months the
major in command Of the battalion has
been waiting for chance to take his
men into this big war of movement.
With his staff of about twenty Younger
officers he had taken pride in building
up machine so full Of pep and ginger
that every man had been counting the
days when he could get into sometime
worth while. A few days ago, when tho
battalion was ordered to move out of
Its comparatively quiet sector for the
war OF movement, every one congratu
lated the major and he congratulated
himself. Two days in the new position
saw an order come for the major. 1t
said:
'"You will report to headquarters to
take up a new post in the training
What the major said wouldn't look
we'll IN print. What his officers said
=, ITS the first casualty" said vonnc
New York lieutenant through his teeth
ANA everybody profanely agreed Win
