the German Ambassador at Moscow,
and the press is trying to exploit this
assassination by announcing that from
now on the Germans will be obliged to
penetrate moro deeply into Russia in
order to establish order.
Some organs do not hide the fact
that the event of Moscow might have
deep consequence on the relations
between Germany and Russia The
'Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zetung'
writes: On account of the scarcity of
details it is difficult to formulate a
definite accusation. but the elementary
ask this question: Who can profit by
this crime? There is but one answer
the Entente
1.-THE "ragliche Rundschau' and the
'Deutsche Tageszeitung' assert that the
death of Count Mirbach is not the work
OF The Entente, but of Muscovite patr-
OTIS who wished to rid their country of
one of Russia's foes. The 'Koelnsche
leitung' says 1T is certain that we are
IN the presence of political murder
and see in England the true culprit.'
THE Frankfurtc- Zeitung' prctends
that. according to the declarations Of
the Russian comnissarics, it is clear
that the crime was directed more
against the government of the Soviets
than against Germany
"The confusion that exists in Ger
man public opinion is certainly shown
in these contradictory statements"
Communication with Archangel,
which is controlled by British, French
and American naval forces, together
with Kola, has been perfected. as evil
dcnced by the receipt by the State De-
partment to-day of a telegram from
the American Consul at Archangcl,
dated yesterday, saying that on July Z
the embass? at Vologda informed him
of the confirmation of the reported
assassination of Count Won Mirbach.
The crime took place at 3 O'Clock on
Saturday afternoon. The dispatch
added that fighting was taking place
in the streets of Moscow. An official
wireless dispatch reported the arrest
of several Bolshevik leaders by the
Social Revolutionists, and another re-
port announced the arrest of Social
Revolutionary agitators.
The department received also a cable
from the United States Consulate at
Vladivostok saying the city has been
in state Of quiet ever since June o.
when the Czecho-Slovak troops over
threw the Bolshevik regime there, the
number of killed in the fighting being
very small, although not definitely de-
+ermlned. 1t was reported that the
Czecho-Slovaks lost four killed and
twenty~one wounded, and some Of the
papers stated that the Red Guards lost
about sixty killed. including an un-
known number of Hungarians.

Look to Czechs TO

LONDON July 9.--Promnent Rus
sian residents in London consider the
Czccho-Slovak movement in Siberia as
the only reliable basis for struggle
against Bolshevism ard the restoration
OF order in Russia
Life in Nladivostok is now normal,
says a dispatch from Toxic to the Cen
tral News Agency. The rule OF the
Soviet has passed. Towns in the Amur
district are coming under Czecho-
Slovak control. Russian destroyers at
the port. have been disarmed by the
Russian commandcr
The recent Moscow rising which was
suppressed by the Bolshevki Is not
considered here to have been a patri-
otlc Russian move, but a sequel to a
parry quarrel between the Bolshevki
and their late friends and supporters,
the Social Revolutionaries of the Left
The kerensky group of Social Revo-
lutionaries OF the Right did not partici-
pate in the counter revolution and had
nothing to do with the murder of Count
Won Nirbach, the German Ambassador
to Russia, or with the street firhtinr.

July Z, bringing the first word re-
ceived from him by the State Depart
ment since June "a, has confirmed the
report of the assassination of Count
von Mirbach, the German Ambassador
at Moscow.
The killing occurred at p. m. July

bassador said fighting was progressing

Bolshevik officials by revolutionists and
OF the arrest of revolutionary leaders

Similar information reached the de-
partment from The Associated Press
representative at Vologda, who said
there was street fighting both at Mos
cow and Jaroslav
The messages of both Ambassador
Francis and The Associated Press COR
respondent were sent to the American
Consul at Archangel and there re-
]ayed. They brought relief to Off

succeeded in completely cutting off
the ambassadors communication with

LONDON, July 9.-The court martial
of Corporal Joseph Bowling, seized by
British authorities on the Irish coast
after landing in a German collapsibIc
boat, was concluded to-day. The YER

Corporal bowling did not give any
evidence in his own behalf or call anv
witnesses. His attorney, however, ar
gued that the inducement the corporal
offered his men to join the Irish bri-
of Germany and to help his fellow
countrymen to fight against Germany.
There was no evidence, the attorney
sand, that the prisoner endeavored to
get into communication with anv one
after he had landed in Ireland. Dow
ilng's army record, he pointed out,
showed that he had served for four,
teen years and had never been con
victed of any offence.

From The Euening Mail OF Yesterday

AS owners of the majority bonds of The Evening

have assumed responsibility for the conduct of the
paper The confidence in our patriotism and pur-
poses indicated by the assent of Alien Property
Custodian A. Mitchell Palmer to our control speaks
Tor itself. AS a guarantee to the community of the
complete separation of the present management
from the past it goes beyond any pledge that we as
individuals could make.
The further Endorsement of such splendid
