The Petrograd newspaper Isvestia is quoted by the correspondent as stating that at several points "in that part of Russia not occupied by the enemy," counter revolutionary movements have broken out in a number of towns. The Bolshevik Soviets have been overthrown in these places and re placed by councils consisting of rep resentatives of the llenaheviki, or mod' crates.

In the Novgorod and Riazan districts. AMSTERDAM. Aug. 10. The signifi cance of American and Japanese inter vention in Siberia Is the theme of much speculation by the German papers. Secretary Lansing's statement that no Interference with Russia's political sovereignty Is intended is scoffed at by the Berlin Kreuz Zeltung. The Cologne Gazette takes the view that America probably is "a few de crees more honest than Japan" in de claring she wants no Russian territory. The Gazette says the forces of the two nations will watch each other closely. from which it draws the conclusion that their action is unlikely to develop Into any magnitude. The National Zeltung hazards the guess that the Japanese-American ar rangements is a desperate expedient of the entente, which sees Japan slipping from Its grasp and therefore find it necessary to subject her to a "thorough bleeding." Japan, according to this organ, will not fail to profit from the present occasion by consolidating her position on the Asiatic conti nent, after which she will have no further Interest in the contin uation of the war. Tokio, having be come the world's center of gravity. according to the national Zeltung, Japan might gain a position from which to "dictate" peace to the entire white western world.

Wright proprietor of the Allendale Apartments, was arrested yesterday by Deputy United States Marshal Byrne on a warrant charging him with disloyal utterances. -After a hearing before the United States Com missioner he went to Jail as he said he didn't want to give ball. The trouble occurred in the office of the County Food Administrator, where Wright had gone to obtain a sugar permit. Witnesses testified that Wright, when questioned, said: - "The Government is a bunch of grafters, and this country is no good, I wish I was back in Canada, where they know how to run a country and where one can get all the sugar he wants.

Asserting that employes of the house had nicknamed Bernstorff "Duke de la Brew" and Bolo "Duke de la Car," Ga sollo's affidavit added that he remem bered seeing an invitation sent to Bolo for a costume party given in the Hearst apartment, but that he did not know whether he attended the party, "for the guests arrived in fancy dress." Charles H. Jerome, superintendent of the apartment-house, stated in his affi davit that he recognized "the man shown in the photographs as a gentle man who called upon Mr. Hearst on at least two occasions to my knowledge, and was known as 'the Pasha.' " Mr. Hearst late ' tonight Issued s statement in which he declared that "the intimation that Count Von Bern storff and Bolo Pasha met at my house is a characteristic falsification, by Mr. Lewis." Mr. Hearst said Bolo had brought excellent credentials; that he was "courteous to him. Just as I have been courteous to Lord Northcliffe or to any other visiting Journalist of any importance," and that he "did not know that Bolo Pasha would turn out later to be a spy."

Paul Warburg, vice-governor of the Federal Reserve Board, will retire from mem bershlp on the board at his own sug gestion, but with the feeling on the part of President Wilson that his re tlrement "is a serious loss to the pub lie service." Letters exchanged between Mr. War burg and the President were made pub lie last night, Mr. Warburg's term having expired Friday. In his letter to the President, written on May 27, Mr. Warburg says that "certain per sons have started an agitation to the effect that a naturalized citizen German birth, having near relative prominent in German public life, should not be permitted to hold a po sition of great trust in the service of the United States," and points out that he has two brothers in Germany who are bankers.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE VESLE, Aug. 11. (8 A. M.) (By the Associated Press.) Allied aviators have reported that the Germans are digging in opposite the Franco-Ameri can line along the Vesle, ana are stringing barbed wire along the hills northwest of Fismes. It was learned from German prisoners that an old quarry near Longueval, large enough to conceal two regiments, was being used as a refuge for troops at rest. The Franco-American heavy artillery shelled the cave all day Saturday and the Germans were finally compelled to abandon it. The Germans made two artillery at tacks against the Franco-American troops on the Vesle front, but the allied troops counter-attacked so vigorously that the Germans did not launch an infantry attack. The struggle for the retention of Fls- mette, on the northern bank of the Vesle near Fismes, has developed vir tually into a continuous fight. The Americans, however, are holding the upper hand, notwithstanding the Ger man attempts to dislodge them. In the region of Fismette the Amer icans Friday captured a 23-year-old German from a regiment that had been in the front line for only a day. He pointed out snipers and machine gun nests, and the artillery soon wiped them out. This German assisted the Americans in caring for the wounded on several occasions going into the open and bringing in injured men de spite the German fire. The German was wounded this after noon by a German machine gun bullet. He was taken to a hospital, where the bullet hole In his hip was attended to. A wounded private from Fismette said about 50 German prisoners In cellar in Fismette were killed by a German gas attack Saturday night. They had lost their gas masks. The Germans are using gas lavishly In all their attacks and the French and Americans are reciprocating with gas projectiles in profusion. The Americans hold the outskirts of Fismette. There also are many troops within the village. WITH THE AMERICON ARMY IN FRANCE. Aug. ll. (By the Associated Press.) The first American Field Army has been organized. It is under the direct command of General John J, Pershing, Commander-in-Chief of the American forces. The corps command ers thus far announced are Major- Generals Liggett, Bullard, Bundy, Reed and Wright. The creation of the first Field Army is the first step toward the co-ordina tion .of all the American forces in France. This does not mean the immediate withdrawal from the British and French commands of all American units, and it is probable that divisions will be used on the French and British fronts for weeks yet. It is understood, however, that the policy of organizing other armies will be carried out steadily. WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. "Aside from the usual artillery activity along the Vesle, the day passed quietly in the sector occupied by our troops," said General Pershing's communique received tonight, which covers the fighting of Sunday. newspaper Libre Belgique, according to Les Nouvelles. a Belgian newspaper published at The Hague. Father Dela haye, a Belgian priest, "suspected" ed itorial writer, was sentenced to 15 years, penal servitude: Dr. Van Caillie, also "suspected" editorial writer, 12 years, and Lawyer Van Der Khoven. "suspect ed" manager. 15 years. All were de ported to Germany. The trial lasted three months. From the account printed in Les Nouvelles it appeared that nothing ac tually could be proved against the ac cused and the heavy sentences were in flicted "on suspicion." Libre Belglque had been a thorn in the flesh of the German invaders of Bel gium, and despite all efforts of German spies it has never been discovered where this loyalist weekly was printed. It is published regularly, nevertheless, and distributed throughout the occu pied territory, even the German Governor-General finding a copy in his let ter box with unfailing regularity. It is commonly believed the newspaper is printed on an automobile. AMERICAN LOSSES NOW TOTAL 20,112 Casualties for Week, as Re ported by General Persh ing, Aggregate 4916.

Hans Vorst, Moscow correspondent of the Berlin Tageblatt, reporting the meeting of the central executive committee of the Soviets on July 2S, says that Nikolai Lenine, the Bolshevik premier, was en thusiastically cheered. In the course of his speech Lenine said the revolu tion was fighting for its existence. He Instanced cases where the Red army was withdrawing, although stronger than the Czecho-Slovaks. Leon Trotzky pointed out that suf ficient Red Guards could be sent against the Czecho-Slovaks to outnum ber them two or three times over. He referred to the - enthusiasm of the Czecho-Slovaks, which, apparently, was lacking among the Soviet troops, and added: We are now forced to send our best leaders among the workers to the front as agitators and organizers. 'The Russian officers are counter revolutionaries, but the hour has come to master them. Concentration camps will be established for officers who do not loyally serve the Red army. Several already serving have proved unreliable, and cases of treachery have occurred. Every officer in command must be watched on both sides by war commis saries with revolvers In their hands.
