GERMANY TO SET UP RUSS. MONARCHY
More than Hundred Lives Lost in Shipwreck
Senator Warns
of BOlSheUiki'
Folk inAmericQ

Washington, Feb, 25.-Denouncing
the Bolsheviki surrender to Germany
Senator McCumber, Republican OF
North Dakota, told the senate today
that a "Bolsheviki'' sentiment in
America was of no less danger to the
cause of democracy against autocracy.
Profiteers, labor slackers and govern
ment officials who failed to stand
against them were assailed by the
senator in vigorous terms.
/ Unless conditions change, the sena-
tor declared. only a collapse of the
central powers can save the allies
from defeat. The senator began with
a denunciation of the Bolsheviki sur
render.
Search the worlds history" de-
clared Senator McCumber, land moth
ing can be found even to approach
this most damnable treachery to the
faithful and bleeding allies-this
blacklist treason to country and ma
tional honor.
With this spectacle of national i'm
potency and disgrace before you and
enlightened by the appalling condi-
tons in our shipyards, is it not about
time we were turning our attention to
the Bolsheviki doctrine of those in
our own country who are paralyzing
the arms of the government and i'm
periling the lives of our soldiers in
France?
$50. too, we have seen the effect OF
this Bolsheviki sentiment, more, still
more, always more regardless of JUS
tice, regardless of patriotic duty, in
the shameful delay in ship construc-
ton on which the very life of great
world principle depends, and we are
told that all munition plants, every
line of industry upon which the life
of the government depends will soon
be reduced to the same condition of
impotency as the shipbuilding pro-
gram.
THE time has arrived for the Amer
lean people to accept this challenge.
while the Bolsheviki cancer which
is sapping Our strength and jeopardiz-
ing our safety is not confined to any
one class, it nevertheless manifests
itself in the most malignant form in
supply profiteering and in labor prof.
iteering in our shipyards."

Ambassadors to
Russia Agree to
Stay to Finish?

Petrograd, Feb. 24-The allied am
bassadors at conference today at the
American embassy, determined to re-
main in Petrograd pending develop
ments. The general belief in embassy
circles is that the German terms which
the Bolsheviki have agreed to accept
are couched in such ambiguous terms
that they must be cleared up thor
oughly before the actual status of
Russia can be asceftained.
Some members of the embassy staff
already have left, while others will

Shoot
FOurAm1ericQns
on Oil Steamer

Washington, Feb. 25.-One Ameri-
can was killed and three were wound
ed in an attack by Mexican bandits on
an oil boat at Tampico last Wednes-
day
The names of the Americans were
not included in the brief report re-
ceived today by the state department
Officials, however, regarded the in
cident as a case of robbery rather
than an outburst of anti-American
feeling. The boat attacked was car
rying money, probably in the Panuco
river or one of the inland lagoons. So
far as known the bandits were not
connected with any of the military
forces. The government has, called
the incident to the attention of the
Mexican government.
Edgar House, a paymaster for the
Texas Oil company, was killed. The
wounded were ]. P S. Mennett; DIR.
Brisbane, an employe of the Island
Oil & Transport company, and a third
man named Prather. Mennett's wound
is serious.
Unofficial advices reaching here to-
day said the bandits got as much as
$4,000 from the American paymaster
and that the Americans defended
themselves vigorously, wounding five
of the Mexicans.. The ARRAY, these ad-
vices said, might have resulted more
seriously than supposed, possibly in
the withdrawal Of the Americans.
The same advices said that in other
depredations on Americans last Fri
day, $4,000 was taken from the CASH
Ter of an American company and that
the American company's commissary
at San Geronimo had been rifled and
something less than $500 taken. Both
Carranza and rebel troops are in the
vicinity.

QUEI.LED; TROUBLE
WORK OF GERMANS?

San Jose, Costa RIGA, Feb. 25.-The
revolution in Costa RIGA has been put
down and order has been completely

last Friday when band commanded
by Rogelio Fernandez Guell, editor
Of Ell impartial, a pro-German news
paper, which had been suppressed by
the Costa Rican government. attacked
a passenger train from Puenta Arenas,
capturing some of the passengers.
This band continued 1ooting along the
railway line until government forces
arrived and routed the rebels.
The present government OF Costa
Rical came into power in consequence
of revolution in January of last
year. President Gonzales was over
thrown by General Tinoco, who as
sumed the presidency. The United
States has not recognized the Tiroco
government.
/. There have been several reports in
the last few months of plots to over
throw the government. Former Pres
ident Gonzales and Germans in Costa
RIGA and the United States are said
to have been concerned in a scheme
Of this sort which was discovered by
the Costa Riean authorities last May.
According to press dispatches from
San Jose at the time, German firm
in New York furnished 100000 for
the organization of a revolutionary
movement. Several secret wireless
stations were discovered, three Of
them at Heredia, the home of Con
zales.
The growth of the German influence
in the Gonzales government was said
to have been largely responsible Tor
the revolution. After General Tinoco
became president Costa RIGA severed
relations with Germany.
