sus, was about to kill him. Croe-
sus, though he saw him approach,
from his present misfortune took no
heed of him, nor did he care about
dying of the blow; but this speech

KILLING SIGNAL FOR REVOLT
5olsheVik Forces and Revolutionary
Socialists Clash in Moscow Fol-
lowing Assassination--Hun
Put Blame on Allies.

London, July 10.-As soon as Enl-
peror William heard OF the assassina-
ton of Count Won Mirbach, the Ger.
man ambassador to Russia, according
to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Russiu. he ordered Secretary Won
kuehllnunn to break off negotiations
with the Russian delegation in Berlin.
A strong guard has been placed be-
fore the house of the bolshevik ambas-
Sador in Berlin. as ii is feared the pop
ulace of the capital will inaugurate
anti-Russian demonstrations.
All the German newspapers declare
the murder of Count Won Mirbach must
inevitably have u great influence on
Russo-German relations.
Lenine, the bolshevik premier, is en-
deavoring TO placatc the Germans by
appointing an extraordinary commits
sion of investigation" to probe the
death of Count Won Mirbach. The COM
mission is headed by "Comrade Pc
ters."
Meanwhile Berlin is doing its utmost
to make capital out of the murder Of
Mirbach. A German official account
of the assassination concludes:
'The result of preliminary Inquiry
permits the assumption that agents in
the service of the entente are imph-
Gated in the affair"
AS further indication that the kaiser
is determined to exact heavy toll from
Russia as revenge. perhaps sending
big army to occupy Moscow. Peuo-
grad and other cities, all the German
newspapers declare the murder Of
Count Won Mirbach must inevitably
have great influence ON Russo-Ger-
man relations. German forces now
800 miles west of Moscow are being
heavily REINFORCED.
A Russian wireless dispatch claims
that the uprising has been completely
suppressed and indicates that the sup
preston was sanguinary, the orders
being that all who resisted should be
"shot on the spot"
The Russian wireless also circulated /.
the following signed by NJ. Araloff, I
the chief Moscow commissioner:
