Consulates and Help Them
Out of Country

WASHINGTON, Sept. -. United
States Consul General Poole has ar
rived at Hclsingfors from Moscow and
is due in Stockholm tomorrow.
News that the consul general had
crossed the Finnish border in safety
reached the State Department to- day
i'll a message from Helsingfors dated
September 2l. Upon its receipt Secrc-
tary Lansing disclosed that a week ago
he ordered Mr.. Poole, the last Amcri-
can official remaining at the Bolshcvk
capital, to leave Russia.
The dispatch brought no information
concerning the British and French con-
sular officers, who arc detained by the
Bolshcviki, and to aid whom Poole in
sisted upon remaining at his post until
ordered away.
1t developed TO- day that an unsub-
stantiatcd rumor recently reached the
State Department that the American
consulate general at Moscow was being
besiegcd by the Bolsheviki because
British and French officials were given
refuge there. Secretary Lansing said
he did not believe this report was true,
but because Of the rumor and the
known seriousness of the situation at
Moscow he had directed Mr.. Poole to
leave.
No detailed report from Mr.. Poole
has been received. and the department
does not expect any further word from
him until his arrival in Stockholm.
The United States Consul General at
Christiania reported to-day that the
Norwegian consuls at Moscow and
Petrograd have been untiring in their
efforts on behalf of American citizens
and American interests in Russia. 1t
was their firm inslstence upon the
rights of Americans to leave Russia
and their action in giving them refuge
in their consulates that saved Ameri-

is felt here that settlement of the civil
strife which for several years has
caused bloodshed in China and par
alyzcd the commercial development Of
the country may follow quickly the
inauguration of the newly elected
President, Hsu Shih Ching, October 10
From the united China which then
would arise would come considerable
addition to the military strength Of
the Allies in the Far East.
Hsu Shih Ching. known as man Of

Hsu Shlh Ching is about sixty-two
years old and a civilian. He is said to

Secretary Lansing authorized an un-
equvocal denial Of the widely published
report that the United States and Great
Britain had offered to mediate between
the Peklng government and the revolu-
tonlSts of Southern China.
Mr. lansing said such a step never
had been contemplated by this govarn~
mcnt. and added "Therc is not Il word
of truth in it. 1t is without any founda.

1t was denied that the Japanese gov

Another Year of War,
u. S. Senator Predicts

WASHINGTON, Sept 24.-Describ-
ing his recent visit to the Western
front, Senator Thompson, of Kansas
tDemocrat, told the Senate o-day
that while in some quarters there is a
belief that the war can be ended this
year, the general opinion abroad is
that another year will be required TO
bring Germany to her knees. America,
he declared, had "put pep into the war"
and "started the ball rolling toward
Berlin"
Senator Thompson opposed "make-
shift, compromise or halfway peace"
and declared it must be "Gnal and con-
elusive and destroy forever Kaiserism
and militarism throughout the world"
German morale was never lower than
at the present time, he said, while the
Allied armies are convinced they are
lighting winning cause and chat VIC
tory is all but within their grasp" The
entrance of the United States into the
war is primarily responsible for this

clearing up misunderstanding.
Cases of misunderstanding have
been settled, where there was no fault

deeds. So far there have been no
cases but which have been due to mis-
understandings.
