LIVERPOOL. July 2s.-The high re-
gard in which the American soldier ds
held by experienced British fighters Is
attestcd by correspondent OF the
Liverpool Post He writes:
The official testimony as to the
quality of the American troops is con-
frmed by unofficial evidence that the
now fighting force is appreciated high
ly by the veteran warriors of three
or four years OF war. Our own men
at first were inclined to he suspicious
of the Americans because they thought
they would swank about coming in
to finish the war. but when they found
that the Americans did not swank' AMI.
were eager only to learn the art of
war. all suspicion vanished. and a conf
radeship in arms is springing up.
The Americans In this country arc
creating an excellent Impression. and
when we get over our shyncss. ana
when the American wounded are en-
trusted to our care. relationships will
become still more intimate. An AUS
tralian officer told me that he and his
friends had come TO regard leave TO

sible TO a visit home, and it is hoped
that the Americans will soon come TO

AMSTERDAM, July 2s.- Premier
Lenine. in a speech at Moscow before
the government conference OF factory
committees. said the position OF the
Soviet republic had become extremely
acute in view Of international compli-
cations. countcr-rcvolutionary conspira-
cies and the food crisis. according 10 a
Moscow dispatch received by way Of
Berlin.
The Russian proletariat knew very
we'll. Lenine told the conference, that
the united action OF the workers OF the
entire world or OF some of the highly
developed capitalistic countries was an
essential condition TO the victory Of
the Russian revolution. 1t was easy
for Russia to begin a revolution, but
EXTRAORDINARY difficult to continue
and conclude IT, On the other hand
the beginning OF revolution in such
a long organized bourgeois country as
Germany was extremely difficult, but
then 1t would be so much easier to
carry il to completion.

Referring to the Brest Litovsk
treaty. Lenine said that according to
the treaty. Russia must pay Germany
5000. 100000 rubles. The attempt OF the
Social Revolutionists OF the Left to en-
tangle Russia In war with Germany
by the murder OF the German ambas-
sador was no way TO evade the treaty
The way out must be found by the
