HUN AMBASSADOR
 ID RUSSIA FEARS
 FOR HIS SAFETY
Soviet Government Informed That German Embassy Is to Be Moved From
 Moscow at Once

Amsterdam, August 12.-Dr. Helferrich, the German ambassador to Russia, has informed the soviet government he will move the embassy from Moscow to Pskov because he fears for the personal safety of his staff. says an official cablegram from Berlin. This action, it is added. was decided upon because of prociama- tion of the social revolutionists that they were about to begin a reign of terror in Moscow. Pskov was selected because conditions at Petrograd are almost ss bad as at Moscow.
 Referring to the shifting of the Ger man diplomatic base in Russia the Vos- sische Zeitung of Berlin says:
 "The removal of the German embassy from Moscow to Pskov sheds lurid light on the seriousness of the political situation on our eastern front. Ambas- sador Helferrich left before the embassy staff because he feared for his life.
 "The state of things he found in Mos COW may best be judged from the fact that the soviet government. of it's own accord, relieved him of the duty of pay ing the customary visit on his arrival .e deliver his credentials" The newspa- per plaintively adds:
 Moscow is in the hands of anti-Ger- man clements and the followers of the social revolutionists. of the left. This would show that the bolsheyiki rule at Moscow is at an end and this is the case not only at Moscow but in the greater part of Russia, if not in the whole Rus sian empire. This throws a vivid light on the failure of the German policy in the east"

SYDLAND CREW LANDED

Boston, August 12.--The crew of the Swedish steamer Sydland, which was sunk by German submarine August S. southeast of Nantucket, were landed here today. The Germans in sinking this rieu- tral ship proceeded In a leisurely manner. spending three or four hours in exam ing the papers, in exploring her holds and in making ready tho bombs which finally sunk her, according, to the story told by the officers. Tho Sydland was bound in ballast from Gothenburg, Swe- den. to Hampton Roads for orders. According to the officers the ship was halted by shot across the bow but 1t was several moments later before they could make out the submersible as slae came out of the haze. On signals from the raider the captain of the Sydland rowed to the U-boat's side with the ship s papers He was invited on deck while the German commander slowly scanned the documents A boarding party then boarded the steamer and the ship searched. The Germans were courteous, the crew said. and told them to stock up their boats with whatever provisions and personal effects they wanted. The cap tain was allowed to retain his valuable navigating instruments and after the German commander had expressed re- gret at being obliged to destroy the ves- sel, the men were ordered to thex boats.
 When they had rowed some 6stAnce away they heard explosions and the Syd- land disappeared

 When the destroyer sighted the raider at some distance it dashed forward at full speed. The German evidently was maintaining sharp lookout, for the U-boat soon submerged. The destroyer circled tho spot and dropped 15 depth charges.
 OIL IS SEEN
 When the upheaval of the water caused by the terrific explosions had subsided an oil scum was seen. As this is ruse long employed by the Germans when ar . tackled the destroyer dashed in and dis. charged two more bombs. The warship then crused in the vicinity sometime but no furtter trace of the raider was seen.
 In discussing the submarine raids with newspaper correspondents today, Secrs. tary Daniels said he believed there are two U-boats operating on this side of the Atlantic. He said he did not believe they have base on American shores and explained that they frequently re- plenishel their stores and supplies from vessels they destroy. x ea..-es.s
 Naval ratrols on the coast are as Lf- fective as can be, MT. Daniels declared, adding tha. it is impossible for them to be everywhere. Thus far the raiders have done no military damage, the Sec rctary said, and the navy is carrying out successfully it's paramount duty of safely conveying American troops overseas.

ENEMY NERVOUS

Today the enemy has been fighting progressively, but his troops appear to be nervous and apprehensive Of what the future holds out for them and what the allies intend to do. In order to feel out the allied forces 1t IS ex- pected heavy counter attacks may De launched by the enemy. Stories of the air fighting over the battle lines are amazing. One observer coming into his station shot down four machines. Tn the same fighting a British pilot chased one enemy plane to earth and was sweeping down to finish his hn- tagonist when the man climbed out of his machine and held up his hands in token of surrender
 "So I didn't kill him." the British pilot said.
 But on my way home I met group of enemy machines and got bullet in me, but I managed to land inside our lines" s
 The report of this incident ends with the statement that the pilot died in hospital shortly after relating his experience.
 British two-seater shot down two enemy machines during battle royal in the air. The pilot was badly The observer. however. leaned forward and secured his comrades body and managed to get control of the machine.

 THRILLING BATTLES
 There are dozens of thrilling tales of how machine after machine skinl- ming close to the ground, fired point blank into bodies of enemy troops killing great many, despite the fire from the ground, and how they wiped put the crews of enemy machine guns holding up the allied advance. They also effectively attacked the poorly constructed German tanks before they ever had a chance to get into actior
 Prisoners from fresh Prussian and Bavarian divisions have been captured in the past few hours. The morale of these men is extremely low, a great many of them expressing the opinion that Germany, twice badly beaten in recent weeks and perhaps having fur ther defeats in store for her, is on the down grade. headed for defeat.
 French families, who for months have been refugees from their homes irl this district. are now returning when ever possible. Many. of course will find their homes, but others which were within the range of the German guns before the allied offensive were knocked to pieces by shell fire. The contrast between the number of pris- oners taken and the allied casualties is regarded as remarkable.
