Assault, Political Crime.

The German intelligence service,
through notes to the commissar OF
Foreign AFFAIRS, makes it clear that
the assault and robbery Of the italian
ambassador on the streets OF Petro-
Grad last February was a political
crime organized by Prussia and con-
niyed at by Lenin and Trotsky. The
purpose was to obtain possession of
important papers believed to be in
possession Of the ambassador. Other
notes show that a strict watch was
kept on American and allied embas-
or course, money was NEEDED to
finance the betrayal Of the Russian
people and their allies. The imperial
German bank was the medium
through which gold flowed from
Prussia, into the hands Of the self
established rulers Of Russia.
One Of the Reichbank memoranda,
dated last January, announces to the
commissar Of foreign affairs Lenin)
that fifty million rubles Of gold has
been placed to the credit at Stockholm
Of the representatives Of the commits
sars to cover the cost of red guards
and agitators. Another Of few days
later tells Of q credit Of Ave million
rubles for the assistant naval COM
nnissar in the far east, who is in
