Note-Another instance Of the time
when Germany was using an iron hand
Of discipline, clearing of agitators the
provinces it already had announced it's
intention Of Selling for its own. The let
ter was referred by Markin, one Of
Trotsky's secretaries, to Volodarsky. who
seems to have been in charge Of the pro-
letaran agitation in these provinces.

OR. General Staff, central division, Sec
ton NJ, Jan. H. 1918.
VERY CONFIDENTIAL.
To the Chairman of the Peoples
Council of Commissars: The Rus
sian section of the German general
staff has received an urgent report
from our agents at Novocherkask
and Rostoff that the friction which
has arisen between Gen, Alexieff
and Gen. Kaledin, after which the
volunteer corps of Gen. Alexieff be-
gan the movement to the north, is
tactical step to have base in the
rear In this way the army Of Gen.
Alexieff will have a reliable rear
base protected by Cossack troops
for supplying the army and base
in case of an overwhelming move
ment on the part of the enemy.
The communication of Gen. Alex
Jeff with the Polish troops have
been proved by new reports of the
Polish bolshevik commissars, Shuk
and Dembisky.-Chief OF the Divi-
sion of General Staff o. Rausch;
senior aid, R. Krieger.
Note--Importsnt as showing that the
Germans had real fear of the military
possibilities In the Alexieff- Klaedin move
ment. The suicide of General Kaledin at a
moment of depression, following betraysls
that undoubtedly were carefully plotted,
was tragically a part OF the great national
tragedy.
