FOE ACTIVITIES IN
RUSSIA ENDANGER
AMERICANS THERE

Activities OF German agents and
German armies in Russia, and the
possible dangers growing out of this
to Ambassador Francis, should It
ever become necessary that he leave
Russia, are graphically described in
letters received by Hector Fuller.
! newspaperman with the publicity
department or the Fuel Administra-
tion, from his son. John Fuller. who
is connected with the Petrograd
branch OF the National City Bank OF
New York, which moved to Vologda
with Ambassador Francis. The let
ters were written in May and parts
of them are as follows:
"We don't know what Is In store
for US. 1t is just a case OF walt and
see.
All Is Uncertain.
at is all very uncertain and be-
coming more so. II rumors are to
be believed, and we hear no definite
news, our situation and that OF all
nationals of the allied countries may
become critical at any time
at won't take long II we have to
pull out. But Germany, through the
agency OF the Finnish White Guards,
Is becoming active again. The Firms
have cut US of from Murman, ac-
cording to reports, by taking one of
the way stations on the railroad.
There is a chance that they may be
heading across to cut of the way to
Archangel, thus leaving only one way
out, II we have to run for 1t. the
Siberian railroad
But II they succeed in isolating
Petrograd completely, even that is
cut on. There Is a chance they may
come to Vologda- There's a chance
that anything may happen in this
country.
To-day we heard that the Kaiser
had addressed the Firms as though
they were hand in glove with the
Germans, as no doubt they are.
Another RumOr.
Another rumor is that according
to a secret treaty. Petrograd IL to be
handed over to Finland
ITO help things along, II seems that
the Soviets have told Germany the
clause in their agreement providing
for the rehabilitation OF their army

Of Japan's seizing Vladivostok with

form the hardest and saddest duty |
have ever been called upon to execute
to confirm to them In person the
tidings Of poor Paul's death.
The other British pilot who fell was
also from my squadron and man
knew well-Lieutenant Keith Of Aus
tralia. | had given him picture of
myself only few hours before I start
ed on my own disastrous flight He
was one Of the star pilots OF our squad
ron and had been in many desperate
battle before, but this time the odds
were too great for him. He put up a
wonderful fight and he gave as much
as he took.
The next two days passed without
incident and / was then taken to the
intelligence department of the German
flying corps, which was located about
an hour from the hospital. There was
kept two days, during which time they
put thousand and one questions to
me. While / was there / turned over
to them the message had written in
the hospital and asked them to have
one of their flyers drop it on our side
of the line.
They asked me where would like to
have 1t dropped, thinking perhaps 1
would give my airdrome away, but
when / smiled and shook my head, they
did not insist upon an answer.
"I3 drop it over -" declared one
of them, naming my alrdrome, which
revealed to me that their flying corps
is as efficient as other branches Of the
service In the matter Of obtaining valu-
able information.
And right here want to say that the
more came to know of the enemy, the
more keenly realized what a difficult
task we're going to have to lick him.
In all my subsequent experiences, the
fact that there is a heap of fight left
in the Huns still was thoroughly
brought home to me. We shall win
the war eventually, IL we don't slow
up too soon, In the mistaken idea that
the Huns are ready to lie down.
The flying officers who questioned
me were extremely anxious to find out
all they could about the part America
is going to play in the war, but they
evidently came to the conclusion that
America hadn't taken me very deeply
into her confidence, judging from the
information they got, or failed to get,
from me.
At any rate, they gave me up as a
bad job, and I was ordered to the Off
GERS prison at Courtrai, Belgium.

killed in action, but was told by an
English airman who witnessed bis last
combat, that he fought game battle
and died hero's death.
The prison, which had evidently
been a civil prison of some kind before
the war, was located right In the heart
of Courtrai. The first building we APP
preached vas large and In front of
the archway. which formed the main
entrance, was a sentry box. Here we
were challenged by the sentry, who
knocked on the DIOR; the guard turned
the key In the lock and / was admit
ted. We passed through the archway
