The Bolshevikl demands on Ambas sador Francis were: First, the removal of John K. Cald well, American counsul at Vladivos tok; second, investigation of his part In the alleged negotiations with the American legation at Pekln, and third, the attitude of the American government toward the Soviet re public.

The American embassy, the note says, carefully scrutinized the documents submitted by the Russian government.
