Mr.. Thompson is good enough

sador in Washington was admitted Of

Premier Millerand did not lose a min
ute in taking advantage of the open
ing so easily offered by the State De-
partment's note and his reply, which
was dispatched to the French Embas-
sy at Washington for communication
to Secretary of State Colby, seals the
pact which binds the Washington Ad-
ministration to France and against
Great Britain and Italy in regard to
the Russian policy. Counsellor Hard
son. of the American Embassy, was
summoned to the Foreign Office, but
was kept hours waiting for a copy Of
the note.
The British Ambassador, Derby,
hastily was recalled from his vacation
at Evian, and remained closeted with

French Foreign Office. for two hours

Minister said, is the most masterful
piece of diplomacy ever seen. By re-

are said to suit the policy of the
French Government, it is proved that
the Paris and Washington administra-
tons are agreed on every point regard

Stacker LIST
NOT SO LARGE
IN COMPARISON TO CIVIL WAR
RECORDS, SAYS THE
DEPARTMENT.
Less Than One Per Cent of Men Regis
tered Under the Draft Charged With
WIfuI Desertion-List to Be Made
Public.

WashingtOn.-Less than one per
cent of more than 24,000000 men reg
istered under the selective service act
during the World War have been found
to be chargeable with wilful desertlon,
according to an announcement issued
by the War Department.
The actual figure is 1891 against
whom desertion charges have been re-
corded, and this, the statement says,
represents "a tremendous improve
ment over the draft record of the
Civil War"
The department soon will make
public the names of those branded as
deserters, and the statement adds that
the Government desires to obtain the
cooperation of the various state and
city officials. patriotic societies and
other agencies, including the Depart
ment of Justice, in bringing about the
apprehension of these men,"
Pending publication of the list, the
statement continues, any man charged
with having deserted may avoid ar
rest by surrendering at the nearest
army post. where his case can be in
vestigated and his status determined.
If his record is cleared, his name
will be omitted from the Stacker list
when it is made public.

GERMAN REVOLUTION PLANNED
TO AID THE CAUSE OF

Note TIC Be Sent To Berlin When
Polish Campaign Is Ended, Boil
shevik Officials Declare, Demanding
Transport of Troops Across Germany.

Kolno, Poland, by courier to blot
tOwen, East Prussia.-Soviet Fussa
intends to ask an alliance with Ger
many to make war on France, and II
this is successful, to undertake a con-
quest of England and eventually
America, officials of the Bolsheviki
regime told the Associated Press
correspondent here. AS soon as the
Polish war, which is considered to be
a purely Russian business, has been
finished, a note will be sent to Berlin,
they declared, demanding permission
to transport troops across Germany
for the French campaign. Upon re-
fusal of this request, which is taken
for granted, a revolution will be in
stituted in Germany, the success of
which, the BOlSheviki asserted, they
were prepared to assure by force of
arms.
With these ends in view the Russian
soldiers who have been told that all
wars shall cease with ultimate victory
over the Poles, are being subjected to
a vigorous propaganda which declares
that Frenchmen will be shot on sight,
but that the Germans are friends who
soon will become comrades of the Boil
sheviki. These admissions have been
corrOborated by information gathered
by the correspondent in conversations
with German representatives of East
PruSSian newspapers. The BOlSheviki
leaders declare that within three
weeks they will be in complete con-
troll of Poland, including the Polish
corridor, which they intend to occupy,
leaving a ten kilOmeter neutral zone
about Danzig. When the correspond
ent reached here after surreptitiously
having crossed the border at Ger
wone and employing the aid of Poles
and a farm wagon filled with straw,
he called on the Polish Soviet Com
miSsary who recently was establish
ed in office by the BOlsheviki military.
Hans Scharnewsky, the commissary,
is a Polish Jew with protruding eyes
and blonde mustache, and wears a
white collar. He acknowledged the
correspondents greeting and then set
down at his dinner table, completely
ignoring the American. At the COM
missarys side throughout the meal
and enduring the correspondents visit
a Russian soldier armed with a revOl-
yer stood watching, and all the con-
versation was interpreted to him in
Russian. The cOmmissary's assistant,
who was a former German officer, said
this Russian was a Soviet representa-
tive who watched all business trans
acted by Scharnewsky and reported to
the Soviet Central Government, al
though he never interfered with the
commissary's procedure When the
commissary finished his meal, which
consisted of soup, steak smOthered
with onions, potatoes and beer, he
stalked to his office, directing the cor
respondent to wait. After an hour he
returned, demanded to see the CORE
spondents passports to which he gave
q cursory inspection, and then re-
turned to his office.
