L. 5. Red Cross Official
Starting krOnstadt Revolt

Riga, Aug. 2-(By the A. P)-
Prior TO his departure for Berlin last
night Senator Joseph /. France of
Maryland, personally accused Dr. Ed
ward W. Ryan, American Rcd Cross
commissioner in the Baltic states, OF
having inStigated the revolt of krOn-
stadt last winter. Thereupon Dr. Ry-
nn expressed his opinion of the SEN
atorS credence in what Dr.. RYAN
termed Boisherik reports and of the
senator's dealings with the Bolshe-
Wiki in general.
When questioned today concerning
the incident. DR.. Ryan said:
The charge is ridiculous. The
senator must have been raving."
American official representatives
here also said today that the accusa-
ton was absolutely without basis in
fact.
The argument began in the sena
tors room in the hotel here and CON
tinued during the trip to the rail
way station, where Senator France
was TO take the trdain for Berlin.
IT was heard in part by a number of
persons who accompanied the sena-
tor to the station. Mr.. France is
said to have declared that he would
renew this charge on the floor OF the
United States Senate.
1t is understood that Senator
France invited DR.. Ryan TO his room
and abruptly made his accusation
and added that the Bolshevik for
eign Office had promised to furnish
him proof of the charge.
