WASHINGTON, Sept 1.-The Chi

the text of decree issued in June by
the Bolshevik Commissary of Foreign
Affairs 'nstructing the presidents of
Soviets that the Bolshevist policy tow

China and Japan should be benevolent
and declaring that at is desirable to
maintain friendly relations with Amer

shevist conditions in the Far East is
outlined. The decree, copy of which
was received here to-day, says, in part:
"In relation to the Chinese, we must
remember that the present Picking
government does not express the will
of the Chinese people. This govern
ment struggles with the south, which
is similar to US by it's spirit and which
formd federative republic. In North
China some, generally monarchists. are
acting quite independent of Peking.
"In Mongolia it is necessary to put
an end to the cxtortfons of the capital

Important Evidence i'm Case
Sent to France by Deputy
Attorney General
New Light on Caillaux
State Official Reviews Work
of His Office in Blocking
German Intrigue

Deputy Attorney General Alfred l.,
Becker, In a statement issued yester-
DAY, intimated that the trial of Senator
CHARLES Humbert, which is set for some
time this month in Paris, will be even
more startling than that of Bolo Pacha.
Humbert's trial, important as it is. will
be only preliminary to the trial of
Joseph Caillaux, former Premier of
france. Both were arrested as a d.
rect result of the Bolo Pacha invcsti-
cation conducted by Mr.. Becker under
the direction. of Attorney General
Lewis.
i have obtained important evidence
in the cases of Humbert and Caillaux."
said Mr.. Becker. II have forwarded it
to France. Because of its nature it
must remain secret until adduced at
the trials of these two associates of
Bolo."
Mr.. Becker sounded warning
against the American people being de-
ceived by the defeatist campaign of
pro- Germans, who are now busily en-
gagged In "waving the American flag
and shouting from>th housetops that
they are 100 per cent Americans"
"Some of the pro- Germans hold high
place in the life of the nation" said
Mr.. Becker. 1--WE have seen how the
Kaiser controlled newspapers such as
The New York Evening Mail and
correspondents Of big chain of news
papers, such as DR.. William Bayard
\ Hale, the Berlin correspondent of
William Randolph Hearst's newspa-
pers."
Mr.. Becker reviewed some of the
more important cases Of German spies
and propagandists which he has con-
Quoted, which have resulted in prac-
tically every form of punishment from
internment to execution.
Continuing, he said:
"Thc Attorney Generals Office under
took thoroughgoing investigation of
the expenditures of money in this coun-
try by the German government. One
of the first fruits of this investigation
was proof that The New York Evening
MALI had been bought by the German
government through DR.. Edward A.
Rumely, the Kaiser's dummy.
"In addition, 1 deciphefed for the
government the secret code of the
Deutsche Bank used by Count Won
Bernstorff and other German spymas-
ters in their correspondence with the
Wilhelmstrasse. Under my direction
was compiled list of 10000 subscrib-
ers for the war loans of the Central
Powers.
If nominated and clected-and am
confident that I shall bel shall con-
tinue to expose the secret methods of
Hun propaganda, so that the German
government may be rendered powerless
to deceive further the American peo-
ple."
Mr.. Becker, who is a candidate for
Attorney General, has been Endorsed BY
Colonel Roosevelt and other prominent
Republicans, as we'll as by a number of
Democrats, including DR.. Stephen S.
Wise.

even cheerfulness, Of the American
wounded who lay in the same cave.
A few minutes before the arrival
of the shell the American guards had
asked for reinforcements around the
group, whose members were beginning
to become sullen and, in some cases,
among the under officers, insulting.
The she'll came before the reinforce
ments, making the latter unnecessary.
Taken From Caves
Most of the prisoners were taken out
of the rock caves of Juvigny, before
which village on Friday afternoon the
Americans occupied hill few hun
dred yards to the east. The enemy
machine gun, rifle and artillery fire
was so intense that for many hours it
was inviting death even to stick ones
head above the surface from the shall
low firing pits and shell holes occu-
pied by the doughboys.
With approaching darkness the order
for the attack was given, and the
troops, who had participated with Won
derful valor in the advance to the
Veslc during the second battle of the
Marine, were on their feet running in
the enemy's direction. A powerful
rolling barrage from American guns
preceded them. Their waves went for
ward steadily under a heavy fire, not
man faltering except when hit
Instead of frontally attacking the
village the waves split to either side,
and as they passed in this envcloping
movement tho bursts of machine gun
fire from the village became so intense
that the troops were ordered to take
shelter. The enemy was Smelling heav-
lily also. Every man dropped to his
stomach, wriggling forward from she'll
hole to shell hole until the advance
went far enough to join hands with
those of the wave on the opposite side.
Other Troops Move In
Thus, with the village enveloped,
other troops moved in from behind to
mop up, while those forward moved
ahead again to a small road which was
the prescribed objective. Here they
dug in and remained at the hour this
dispatch was written.
During the early night the enemy
shelled heavily and then seemed to
slacken his fire on the front area, turn
ing it on the rear. Flashes of watch
rockets, bursts of shells and Pickering
gunfire on the horizons from both sides
created a weird pyrotechnical display
before midnight.
Later the Tribune correspondent
listened to the interrogation of prison
ers, some of whom afterward were vic

Statue of "Gerrnania''

No date has been fixed for the down.
fall Of the statue of Germana, which
has place in the sun on the coping
of the north end of the Custom House,
but it is going to tumble soon. Wash
ington has decided this massive stone
figure of Teutonic woman holding a
shield bearing the word "Kiel" has got
to go. Probably the most objection
able part of the creation of Albert
JAEGER, the sculptor, is the initials of
Wilhelm Hohenzollern, which are cut
in the shield.
Germania will be taken down from
her high place by patriotic organiza-
ton whose identity Collector Newton
declines to divulge. The government,
it is understood, was willing to re-
move the statue, but the society asked
for the privilege of dsmantling it.
A staging will be erected within a
few days, and after the statue is made
fast in steel tackle it will be lowered.
The final disposition of the statue has
not been determined upon.

OF prisoners included many under Off
GERS. which led to a story from q Lam
sing (Mich.) sergeant named s. B. Le-
schinsky, whose feat Of arms was the
admiration Of every American and
Frenchman hearing it.
With a patrol of fourteen men the
sergeant left the hillside position be-
fore the attack and safely entered
Juvgny at dusk. Though Juvigny was
filled with Germans armed with scores
OF machine guns, the patro! by a mir
sc!e wandered stealthi!y through in the
hazy light which emerged from the
other side.
The patrol then entered small wood.
where it's members became confused
regarding direction. They were sitting
down to think matters over, when two
German officers walked up to them. The
officers tried to argue and then showed
fight, and were taken prisoner only
when both had been wounded.
Leaving one man to guard them, Le-
schinsky, on the theory that where
there Is smoke there is FIRE, ordered the
patrol to scout the region. BY twos
end threes they rounded up and sur
prised fourteen enemy under officers
and fourteen men and started back
toward regimental headquarters.
The attack then begun, and Leschin-
sky again lost his bearings in the ex-
element of what was occurring. With
the prisoners closely guarded the patrol
finally wandered through the German
positions into French sector, where 1t
got directions and came back to re-
port.
Among the prisoners Intercepted
were officers who affirmed that they
were ordered when they took the po-
sitions opposite the Americans to hold
at all costs. They expected the Ameri-
can force to attack Juvigny frontally
and were not prepared for the outfank-
ing man9uvre.
One "Feldwebel" admitted his COM
pany had lost all its officers and many
men from American shellfire. The
forty who remained were all captured
A Prussan sergeant said the men were
no good, and if he had had real Ger
man soldiers like those at the be-
ginning of the war it would have been
another story. He admitted his bat
TALON had been practically wiped out.
The general morale of the prisoners,
however, seemed good.

act and the Circuit Court of Appeals
quashed the warrant. The result of
the commissions course was, not to
give information to the public, the
report says, but to place the Commits
sion in the position of seeking to create
prejudice which would support an ap-
parently preconceived purpose to in
