VOLOGDA, Russia, July Is (delayed)
--Disreg arding the insistent demands of
the Bolshevik government, the American
Ambassador, Mr.. Francis, and Allied
diplomats left here to-day for Arch
angel. This step was taken after the
Bolshevik government seemingly had
done everything to hamper the diplo-
mats.
The reason for the diplomats leav-
ing Vologda for Archangel was their
refusal to comply with insistent de-
mands of the Bolshevik Foreign Office
that they move to Moscow. The Boil
sheviki said they wanted the diplomats
to move because they believed Vologda
soon would be the centre of counter
revolutionary fighting. NJ Tchitcherin,
the Foreign Minister. telegraphed sew
eral times to Ambassador Francis,
warming him that Vologda was not q
safe place for the embassy. He also
sent Carl Radek, Assistant Foreign
Minister, to Vologda for a conference
with the diplomats
Francis Did Not Want to Leave
In a final message to the Russian
Foreign Minister Ambassador Francis
declared he had no desire to leave
Russia unless forced to do so. and in
any event his absence would be only
temporary. The consuls of the Allied
countries, he said, would remain in
Russia. M. Tchitchern said that the
departure of the ambassadors would
not in the slightest alter the relations
of Soviet Russia with the Allied coun-
tries, and assured the acting American
Consul General, Mr.. Poole, that there
was no reason why the consuls and
citizens of the Allied nations should
not remain in Russia. He secuted the
idea that the departure of the am
bassadors was the forerunner of a
ment and the Allies.

cherin by Ambassador Francis. as dean
of the diplomatic corps, reviewed the
of the ambassadors to go to Arch.
