WAsHIHGroN. Aug. PA state of
war between Russia and the United
States has been declared by the Boil
sheviki. according to an official despatch
received at the State Department to-day
from Robert W. Imbrie, American Con-
sui at Petrograd
Mr., 1mbrie's despatch is dated August
?. but has just reached here. He re-
ports that as soon as the Bolshevik Gov
eminent declared that a state OF war
existed between Russia and the United
States he lowered the United States flag
ever the consulate at Petrograd. closed
The consulate and placed this Govern
ment's affairs in charge Of the Norwe-
gian Government
Coincident with the declaration OF war
series of afrronts and indgnit!es were
perpetrated against Americans In Petro-
grad. OF which there were fortunately
only about twenty. The houses Of the
Americans were searched, property was
destroyed and one American was ar
rested. All citizens of the United States
have been warned to leave Petrograd.
Officials here do not take the so-called
declaration Of war against The United
States by the Bolshev.kl very seriously,
because II is fully realized that the Boil
sheviki leaders. do not represent the
russian people and are perhaps acting
as agents OF Germany in this as In
other cases.
1t Is not quite clear to officials here
whether the BolsheNik leaders have or
have not Withdrawn their war declara-
tion since August ., when Mr. lmbrie S

patch from Copenhagen
quotes Bernard Kellerman, a
German author and war cor
respondent of the Beriiner Tage-

"The general opinion in Ger
many is that the war will last an
other two or three years, until
FIVE million soldiers are brought
to Europe from the United
States.
"Not even this great army will
be able to finish the war, but by
that time America will have felt
the frightfulness of the war and
common sense will gain a victory
for German Liberals, who have
no desire for conquest"
Dispatches from Rome say
that recent German reverses
have increased the agitation in
Germany against the Crown
Prince, whose unpopularity is in
creasing daily, and that to placate
public opinion the Kaiser has
given a six months leave of alb
sence to his heir.

Here is the way they do it in Greene county:
 Parageuld, November 25.-- The Greene County Council of Defense recently took drastic steps toward locating slack CTS" and unpatriotic residents throughout the county. The council adopted q resolution providing that the names of the "slackers" be published in the newspapers, and that i've here by call upon all true Americans to refrain from the transaction of any business whatever with any stacker whose name may be published as such; to refrain from purchasing any product of whatever nature from him; to refrain from selling him any product of any nature whatever; to refrain to work for him in any capacity whatever; to re- fuse to lend him any money whatever, and to refuse to ac- cept his deposits, and that any person or firm who shall refuse to comply with said request made herein, shall be added to said list of slackers and pub- lished as such.Y The resolution
