lay their hands on him, but Berlin
would not accommodate them. The
German police finally deported him
as an undesirable alien, and the Sow

lost track Of him.
Arrested in Paris
Drujelowski's confession revealed
the gangs ramifications, and the
eyes. of European chancelleries be-
came wide open, resulting in the ar
rest of Salvosky in Paris and a num-
Der OF his fellow conspirators. But
the affair does not end there.
Many months later Drujelowski
made an attempt to enter Russia.
Why he wanted to enter Russia, of
all countries, is a mystery which, no
doubt, will be solved in the course of
the trial which is now going on in
Moscow.
Now returning to Salvosky and
his Paris gang: They sold Spain a
document supposed to be signed by
VoroshilOv, the commissar of war at
Moscow, and addressed to Abdul
hrim, the leader of the Riff in Mo
rocco. They sold another document
to Spain bearing the forged signature
of Rakovsky, the Soviet ambassador
in Paris.
This document was supposed to
have been a covering letter to a gift
of $4,000 pesetas to finance an insur-
rection in Spain. And now looking
back from this distance we NAV re-
call luri0 headlines appearing in the
press of the continent and South and
North Americas about Abdul Krim's |
Bolshevik supporters!
Not satisfied with manufacturing
spurious documents and uttering for
ceres, 1t is now revealed that the |
Izarlst conspirators in Paris had
actually acted the plots, impersonat- |
ing the alleged Soviet participants.
1t IS believed that over six hundred
forged documents exist, and seventy
were found in possession of SalvosIv
when he was arrested.
The main object of the documents
had been to implicate the Soviet gov
IN alleged activities of the
bird lnternationale in Europe, South
america and other parts of the world.
More remarkable than the docu-
nents are the representations The
spanish government was informed bv
