by the same hands which made the
toys exclaimed Mrs. Emily Clark.
As national organizations said

prisoners and because of German
brutality to women and children. We

lean marines have been landed at the
haitic port of Danzig, according to a
dispatch received here from Warsaw.
A powerful feet, it is added, will be
anchored off the harbor there.
The reported military and naval
measures of the Allies at Danzig indi-

Chinese Said To Be Ruling
and Pillaging Capital; Boil
shevik Leaders, i'm Panic.
Flee With State Funds
Allies Plan to Feed CITY
Council of Four and Japan
Offer to Aid Kolchak
on Election of Assembly

STOCKHOLM. May 27.-(By Associ-
sted Press) 1.-The sound of a heavy
hombardment has been heard within
the. last few days in the direction of
Perograd and Kronstadt from the
sea. according to advices received
from Vborg.
The adviccs report panic among
the Bolshevik leaders in Petrograd. q
number of whom it Is asserted have
fled with state funds.
Petrograd, according to the report.
is in the hands of Chinese, Lett and
Finnish Reds, who are said to have
mastered the Soviet authorities after
heavy street fighting. Workmen are
patrolling the workmen's district to
prevent the Chinese from pillaging.
The Bolsheviki have placarded the
city, threatening to execute the
Bourgeois class if they are compelled
to leave the former capital.
The council of four secured the ad
herence of Japan to the new pro-
gramme, which already is on its wav
to Omsk. A reply 10 it is expected as
soon as telegraphic communication will
permit it, which PROBABLY will be in a
week or so.
Recognizing that the disturbed con-
dtions in Russia at the time of the
srrival of kolchak's army in Moscow
may prevent the holding of general
elections, the signatories suggest in
that case the alternative of reconvok-
ing the former Constituent Assembly
elected under the Kerensky regime,
which was dispersed by the Bolsheviki
before II could commence work.
The an-Russian government is also
to become . member Of the league of
nations, to which any disputes regard
ing frontiers or relations with Poland
and Finland are to be submitted. I'm
der the proposed agreement, Kolchak
shall promise to recognize the auton-
omy of the various governments estab-
shed within the confines of Old Rus
sia, such as the Baltic, Lithuanian,
trans Caucasian and trans Caspian ad-
ministrations. Any disputes with these
governments are to be referred to the
league of nations.
Recognition of the Russian foreign
debt, which kolchak already has in
eluded IN his programme, and assur-
ances against return to the old con-
dtons of landholdmg, which were so
largely responsible for the revolution.
are made conditions of the proposal.
The solution of the land problem will
be left to the Constituent Assembly.
The proposal, as far as can be ascer-
tanned. is not one of actual formal
recognition, since ~his probably will
be reserved to a government based on
Constituent Assembly. but it virtu-
ally Is equivalent to formal recogni-
