RUSSIANS ASK AID
Embassy at Washington Pleads
for Czecho-Slovaks.
Declares Revolt in Moscow Put
Down by Huns.

Washington, July 13.-Declaring
that the Moscow revolt has been sup
pressed by the Germans and that the
valiant Czecho-Slovak troops are Sc
riously menaced by Bolshevik- Teuton
forces. Russian embassy officials to-
day pleaded for immediate action in
Siberia.
Recent reports from Russia indicat-
ed that the always changing conditions
have passed in the last few days into
a new critical phase, which. while I'M
yelling new hopes and possibilities for
the allies. is at the same time pregnant
with new dangers and perplexities.
officials declare.
The crushing of the Moscow upris-
ing, distinctly national and anti-Ger-
men, with the subsequent imprison-
ment of Savinkoff and Tzerete1li in
dicates the grip Germany has upon the
occupied section, while on the other
hand it shows the feelings of the OPP
pressed Russian populace, NJ. Jean
Sokine. special courier of the ambas-
sador from Russia, declared.
Huns Own BoIsheviki.
But any attempt for national
movement cannot succeed without al
lied help" Sookine continued. THE
Germans, with thier propaganda and
authority over the Bolsheviki, will OPP
pose and crush every attempt of this
nature, which might constitute a
threat to her success or result in u
regenerated Russia.
Further reports from Russia indi-
cate that Germany probably will pass
over the assassination of Ambassador
Mirbach for the present. Mirbach, the
cable states, was burning the candle
at both ends.
This adroit Prussian," Sookipe de-
clared. while entertaining the most
cordial relations with the Bolsheviki
and flooding the country with fake
news and deliberate misinformation,
was simultaneously making all efforts
to tempt the moderate Russian groups
| into acceptance of German military
help for the overthrow of the Bolshe-
kiki.''
Mirbach even went so far as to
promise an immediate reconsideration
| of the Brest-Litovsk treaty and as
sured the moderate Russians that Ger
many was concerned only in the estab-
lishment of a friendly government in
Russia.
Russia's answer to Mirbach's in
triguing was his assassination Sookine
declared.
The presence of allied military units
| in Russia is Immediately imperative,
Sookine said, not only to restore hope
| in the Russians. who see nothing
| but German troops" but to dissipate
the hypnotic and depressing effect
of invisible German strength"

CLUMSY PEACE MOVE
Won Hcrtling Will Get Nowhere With
Attempt to Fool the Allies.
BY J. w. T. MASON.

New York. July 13.-Germany's an
ticipated peace offensive has been
clumsily begun by Chancellor Won
Hertling. His purpose is to throw the
initiative for making detailed offers
for ending the war upon the allies,
hoping thus to bury the principal al
led demand that German militarisrn
be crushed before a peace treaty can
be signed.
Won Hertling interprets Americas
resolve that the German militarists be
made impotent as meaning America is
determined upon the destruction OF
Germany. This is characteristic de-
ceptive effort of German statesman
ship. Won Hertling is seeking to fool
the German people into consenting to
further blood sacrifices for the Ho-
henzollern megalomaniacs who de-
mand that the world shall bow to the
divine right of kings.
Seeks to Deceive His Own People.
The last hope of the kaiser to con-
tinue the destruction of German man.
hood is that his subjects will fail to
differentiate between the overthrow Of
Germany's war lords and the over
throw of Germany as sovereign
state. Won Hertling has now been Sc,
to work to confuse the Germans over
this issue and to clear the ground for
new German cemeteries.
1t is difficult to believe the German
people can be long deceived by the
despairing effort of the kaiser to affiX
the selfish ambitions of his blood
stained royal house upon Germany
future. If he succeeds in doing this
Germany will have no future. Won
Hertling's camouflage means the kali
ser's diplomats are now retiring to
defensive positions They are begging
the cruelty maltreated German people
to save their own task masters rom
the punishment which an outraged
world is preparing to inflict.
Nothing, however, can prevent that
punishment. Americas wonderful
progress in war preparations IS q
guarantee that retribution shall De ex-
acted before civilization is itself
crushed in the process. The hope of
the militarists has van.5hed that their
downfall could only be accomplished
by the exhaustion of the warning ma
tons. America has rescued the worlc
from the possibility of that catastro-
phe. When the German people real
ize this fact peace and the death of
GEL nan militarism will not be far dis
ant,

HOME NEWS TO YANKS
Arrangements Perfected for Giving
Daily Wireless Reports to Boys.

New York, July 13.-Arrangements
to distribute neisiaborhood news to all
of the American fighting forces
abroad have been perfected by the
foreign press cable service bureau of
the committee on public information,
directed by Walter S. Rogers. This
new feature, designed to give to
American soldiers such news as they
might expect to reveive in letters from
their relatives and friends If the mails
could be depended upon, will be edited
by Herman Suter, who has had broad
experience as a newspaper publisher.
To Use German Plant.
The service will be sent to France
and wherever American soldiers are
stationed every day by one of the
big German wireless plants which has
been operated by the government
since the European war started and
used extensively for American propa-
ganda. including the world broadcast
ing of President Wilson's speeches
during the fifteen months this country
has been at war with Germany and it's
allies. The wireless reports will be
delivered free of all tolls to military
publications in France and where no
newspapers can be distributed, bulle-
tins will be supplied to headquarters
Of the different units. The report will
be copied also by the wireless plants
of American warships wherever
sta tioned.
Press associations and newspa pers
generally have agreed to cooperate
with the committee in making the
service a success.
The Kind of News to Be Sent.
The part played by the Associated
Press, for instance, will be largely in
the hands of the bureaus scattered
strategically thruout the United States.
Someone in each bureau called upon
by the committee will send a brief
Geographic dispatch to the committee
in New York, either daily or two or
three times a week, according to the
need. giving merely the high spots of
the news local to the territory covered
by such bureau. Each item will be
just about what would appear in the
headlines of local papers to describe
important local events. such as nom
nations by political parties, deaths of
prominent citizens of the different
states, fires, weddings of statewide in
terest, and other news of less than in
ternational or rational interest and,
therefore. certain not to be cabled for
publication in English, French or Ita1-
ian newspapers.
In this way. it liz hoped to give to
the soldiers from every state at least
two or three items of news from their
home state or city each week
