BETRAYAL OF RuMANIA Barred.
U. s. Government Shows How LenIne,
Trotzky and Comrades Worked
for Huns.

Washington, Sept 18.-The betray
al of Rumania and elaborate advance
plans of Germany and her Russian
Bolsheviki tools for suppressing md
numbering loyal Rumanians, Russians
and Poles are exposed in detail in to.
days chapter of the astounding secret
Russian documents which the Amer
ican government is giving to the
public.
Other installments of the series
have described how the Bolsheviki
leaders, Lenine and Trotzky and their
assistants, were bought by the Ger
mans for millions in gold and engineer
ed their bloody overthrow Of Russia
for the benefit Of their masters. Now
the story is told of how, while the
Brest-Litvosk peace conference farce
still was in progress, the Bolshiviki
were sending hired agents into Ru-
mania to disorganize the armies of
Russia's ally, dethrone the Rumanian
king and turn loose the German
armies occupied there for service in
great offensive on the western front.
The second phase of the latest dis
closure shows the Bolsheviki, at Ger
man direction, undertaking not only
to kill refractory Russian generals, but
to shoot, individually and wholesale,
Polish soldiers who were refusing to
be sold to the Germans and patrioti-
cally keeping the field against their
enemies One of the documents trans
mits orders from the German intelli-
gence bureau to take most decisive
measures, up to shooting enmasse, Pc,

ance of institutions and persons, in
Guiding the Roman Catholic Polish
clergy. Explanatory notes by Edgar
Sisson, who obtained the documents,
add many details lacking in the pa
pers themselves, including a story OF
how the Rumanian minister barely es-
capped assassination, was arrested by
the Bolsheviki and released through
the efforts of Ambassador Francis and
other diplomats.

chapter in the United States during
the week of September % to 30 is
mastering its forces now for the col.

The American Red Cross chapters
| In the Gulf Observation-Disclosures Mis-

| called upon to furnish at least $50 tons
of clothes. With nearly 800 chapters
| in the three states, it is confidently
expected the Gplf Division will double
the call and send 300 tons.
The Red Cross headquarters at
Washington received definite word of
the plight of Belgium and Northern

while he was on his trip abroad
Henry P. Dawson, Chairman
Red Cross War Council
Washington, d. C.-The ten million
imprisoned people in occupied Belg-
ium and France are facing shame,
suffering, disease and some of them
death for lack of clothing this winter.
They must be helped. | hope that
the Red Cross will undertake a renew
ed campaign to obtain this clothing
in America. 1t can come only from
us. Your first campaign yielded mag
nificient results, bringing in fully. s.
900 tons Of clothing in good condition.
But much more is needed if these
war-ravaged people are to get through
the winter in decency and safety. In
the face of brutal coercion and spirit
ual suffering they remain splendidly
courageous. This courage challenges
our charity Let us match the cour-
age of Belgium by the generosity of
America. Signed Herbert Hoover.
Here is Mr.. Davinson's, letter, to
Mr.. Hoover:
My dear Mr.. Hoover: Your cable
gram regarding the collection of used |
and surplus clothing for 100000 |
imprisoned people in occupied Belg-
ium and France is call to the Red |
Cross to assist again in the relief of
this stricken population. We have |
set aside the week of September 23- |
80 for special campaign for this I
purpose, AS the need is i gsrreater than
ever, it is certain that the people of
the country will respond even more |
than before. Your appeal
has been sent to our chapters through
our Divisional organization, and our
workers, we feel sure, will be glad
