Paper Alleges.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE sensational
allegation that Nicolai Lenin has
10. 900 active agents in Great Britain
pledged to obey his orders was made
by the Globe.
The Globe story was carried under
the signature OF Stuart Martin, a
member of the staff. who said he had
made thorough investigation
throughout the British isles.
According to Martin, constant
stream Of orders and reports is pass
ing between England and Russia.
He asserted that headquarters have
been established throughout England
and that the formation OF two COM
munist parties Is planned. one ad-
vocating parliamentary action and
the other opposed.
The Communist leaders recently
met in Glasgow, Martin revealed,
with the object OF preparing to take
over means of production. He said
that actual revolution was advocated
but that something like an accident
prevented it."

favoritc in society.
His marriage to Miss Adele Humph-
rey took place shortly before he was
sent back to Rumania and then to
Paris on an important mission for his
government. Then. last autumn, they
came back to Washington, Major
Teiusanu being again attached to the

ECUADOR'S INDEPENDENCE
DAY NOT NOTICED HERE.

The anniversary of the independ-
ance of the Republic of Ecuador
August 1O-was celebrated last week,
but in Washington it was marked
only by the flying Of the flag of
Ecuador from the staff of the lega-
tion and the receipt of message of
congratulation and good wishes from
President Wilson. Plans had been
tentatively discussed for an informal
party at the legation, but fell
through because the minister. DR..
Elizalde, was away.
He went up to New York to meet
the transport Pocohontas, which
landed on Thursday bearing the re-
mains of Brig. Gen. william c. Cor
gas, a onc-time surgeon general, L.
S. A. The ambassador of Peru,
Senor Pezet. Senior Matthew, ambassa-
dor OF Chile, and the charge daft
faires of Panama, also went to New
York for this purpose. Both Senor
Pezet and Mr.. Elizaldc were old
friends of the late General Gorgas.
Moreover, each of the diplomats rep
resented his government. General
Gorgas. you know, had done import

fever in Peru and Ecuador don t
need to remind you that he was the
man who put down yellow fever in
Panama and made the Panama canal

HUGH GIBSON RETURNS
TO POST IN WARSAW.

But a truce TO tragedy. The return
of Hugh Gibson. our minister TO Po-
land to his post just at this time GER
tainly has in ii the elements or
drama He has been in Washington
for some months filling in in the
post OF Assistant Secretary of State,
left vacant when William Phillips
was made minister to Holland; but his
interest in the Polish situation is too
keen and he's too valuable a man on
the other side to be kept here much
longer. 1t is said that he is to have
important conferences with leaders OF
the allies before going to Warsaw
if Warsaw, which has been the scene
of much bloody lighting through the
generations, is not evacuated before
he reaches Poland.
Hugh Gibson has a positively un-
canny talent for being where things
happen. He has been in on any num-
Der of revolutions and petty wars.
He went to Brussels, reputed to be
one OF the slecpiest capitals in Eu-
rope. and the great world war burst
in his face. And now his mission
takes him to Poland-back to Poland,
to be more exact-which is certain TO
be the center of activity for some
time to come.
Warren Del8no Robbins, who has
been on duty at the State Department
since his return from South Amer
lea, is to accompany Mr.. Gibson and
will serve as counselor of the lega-
ton as long as his services are need
ed. And young Allen Dulles. nephew
of Mrs. Robert Lansing and grand
son of the late Gen. John w. Foster,

MANY CHANGES NOTED
IN DIPLOMATIC CORPS.

Summer was OF old regarded az the
"closed season" for diplomats--little
enough going on to absorb their at
tention and very few changes being
made in the personnel OF the corps
This year it's different-decidedly diff
ferent. Certainly there's enough hap
pening of world-wide importance to
keep all the diplomats on their metal {;
and the corps here is changing rapid
ly, old friends departing and new
corners coming in.
Notably there have been several
resignations-for example. DR.. Saliva
