lOXDON, Aug. 12. The passing of
- the Bolshevik government Into history
appears to be near. Today's advices
tend to confirm previous reports that
the fantastic structure with Lenine
and Trotsky balancing on its summit
Is toppling to the final crash.
Lenine and Trotsky are reported to
iave fled Moscow. Helfferlch. the Ger

found the Russian capital to be an un
suitable place for his Embassy and he
will go to Pskov.
Lenine and Trotsky have fled to

Tears for toe personal safety of his
staff, says an official telegram from
Berlin. Conditions at Petrograd are
almost as bad as at Moscow.
Referring to the shifting of the Ger
man diplomatic base in Russia, the Vos-
alsche Zeltung of Berlin says:
"Moscow Is in the hands of anti-Ger
man elements and the followers of the
Social Revolutionists of the left. This
would show that the Bolshevik rule at
Moscow Is at an end and this is the
case not only at Moscow, but in the
greater part of Russia, if not in the
whole Russian empire.
Ueraaaa Policy Failure.
"This throws a vivid light on the
failure of ' the German policy in the
Jtast."
The position of the Soviet govern
merit In Russia is consdered very seri
ous by the Moscow correspondent of
tne Tageblatt of Berlin.
He announced that the Czecho-Slo
vak forces have increased from 7500
to 300,000 and are being reinforced by
Serbians. Cossacks and counter revo
lutionists.
Boris Densklo, the assassin of Field
Marshal Herman von Eichhorn. was

vices from Kiev.
The sentence was pronounced by a

gas used by the Germans on the west
ern front The men were laid out for
more than half an hour, but apparently
suffered no serious after-effects.
The dispatch relating to the gas at
tack was one of a series concerning
German submarine warfare off the At
lantic Coast received during the day
by the Navy Department.
One told of an attack on a subma
rine 100 miles east of the Virginia
Coast by an American destroyer, which
discharged 17 depth charges where the
raider was seen to submerge.
Slaklas Seems Certain.
The result of the attack was not de
termined, but after oil had appeared
on the surface of the "water, two bombs
were dropped on the spot and the sub
marine was not seen again.
Sinking of the British steamer Peni-
stone, of 413 groas tons, and the Swed
ish steamer Syland, of 3031 gross tons.
In New England waters, near where
10 fishing smacks were distroyed Sun
day, also was reported to the Navy De.
partment during the day. The Peni
stono waa torpedoed Sunday, with the
fate of her crew still undetermined.
The Syland was destroyed by bombs
August 8 and her crew later rescued
by passing ships.
Loag Cralse Hlatesl At.
Still another dispatch said that four
survivors of the fishing schooner Katie
Palmer landing at New Bedford, Mass.,
reported that they had . been taken
aboard the submarine, tho commander
of which boasted that he was equipped
to remain in American waters for six
months if be desired.
The submarine was described by the
men as being about three hundred feet
long, with a conning tower 16 feet
high and mounting one gun. The
raider carried a crew of 60 men. The
survivors were held aboard the sub
marine for a time and later set adrift
in a dory.
Wreck Possibility Considered.
While the reports from the comman
dants of the Smith's Island coast guard
station and Sixth Naval District clear
ly indicated their firm belief that the
gas attack on the Island was deliberate,
some ' officials tonight thought there
was a possibility that the submarine
had discharged the oil and gaa after
being wrecked on a reef.
Attention was called to the fact that
the action of salt water on electric
batteries used by submarines generates
chlorine gas, which is similar to mus
tard gas in its effect and is deadly if
encountered in a closed space. If the
submarine were wrecked. It was said,
this gas would be generated and would
come to the surface with the oil which
would be freed.
Theory Ignored by Navy.
No such possibility, however, was
mentioned In the Navy Department'
announcement
The announcement made by the Navy
Department said:
"The Navy Department has received
a dispatch from the commandant of
the Sixth Naval District, Charleston,
S. C, stating that an attack with gas
was attempted on the North Carolina
coast about 6 o clock Saturday after
noon, with the result of temporarily
'putting out of business the Coast
Guard station and lighthouse per
sonneL
Tide Calculations FalL
"The report goes on to say:
"'About 40 minutes after the attack
three large oil spots, each over one
acre In extent were observed passing
by Smith Island to the north. This oil.
from which the gas was no doubt gen
erated, must have been released from
a'submarine in the vicinity of the en
trance to th channel with the hope
that it would come in with the tide,
but the tide fortunately set along the
island.
'Report was made to Colonel Chase,
Coast Artillery Corps, Fort Caswell.
N. C, by Captain Willard, of the Smith
Island Coast Guard, after the effects ot
the gaa were noted. Six men were
gassed. There were no deaths. The
gas had the effect of mustard gas and
was effective about 36 or 40 minutes."
In discussing the submarine raids
with newspaper correspondents today
Secretary Daniels said be believed
there are two U-troata operating on
this side of the Atlantic. He said he
did not believe they have a base on
American shores. ,
Naval patrols on the coast are as ef
fective as can be, Mr. Daniels declared,
adding that It is impossible for them
to be everywhere.
No Military Damage Done.
Thus far tha raiders have done no
military - damage, the Secretary said,
and the Navy is carrying out success
fully Its paramount duty of safely con
voying American troops overseas.
Loss of the American naval collier
Cyclops remains the mystery of the
war. Secretary Daniels said, when
asked regarding reports that a dim
sage saying the Cyclops had been cap
tured by a German submarine had
been found in a bottle floating at sea.
Mr. Daniels said tho Navy Depart
ment had no Information regarding
such a message.
BOSTON. Aug. 13. Two submarines
raided the fishing fleet on George's
Banks Saturday and the crews of the
fishing schooners Old Time and Cruiser
were probably lost when their boats
were sunk by gunfire without warn
ing, according to the crew of the fish
ing schooner Mary Sennett. who were
landed here tonight
Sennett Soak br . Gnnflre.
The .Sennett also wassunk by gun
fire and shells were fired at the boats
when - they were putting away, the
fishermen said.
The Sennett, Old Time and ' Cruiser
were Ashing in the same neighborhood
when the Sennett's lookout noticed two
submarines several miles away. As
the under-water boats apparently were
paying no attention to the fishermen
at the time, tha Sennett's crew con
tinued Ashing after putting water and
provisions in the boats as a precau
tionary measure.
As they kept an eye on the strangers.
thinking they might be American boats,
one of the submarines submerged, and
he other took a wide circle around the
little group of three fishermen. The
first intimation the fishermen had that
the submarines were hostile was when
a shell suddenly crashed into the side
of the Old Time. She turned over and
sank so quickly that the Sennett's crew
were certain the men could not have
escaped.
The Old Time had hardly disappeared
when a shell dropped alongside the
Cruiser, immediately followed by an
other shot which exploded on the water
line. The little craft crumpled up and
went down before the crew had a
chance to Jump for their lives.
24 Honrs la Small Boats.
The Mary Sennett's men did not wait
for a similar end. They threw over
their dories and tumbled In just as a
shot crashed into her. She was heavily
loaded and sank like a atone.
The Sennett's crew rowed for 24 hours
before they were picked up. They said
they were Bred on without warning, the
first shell crashing through the schoon
er's side Just below the water line. As
they were rowing away from their ves
sel the submarine tired four shots at
their small boat, all of which missed.

VOLOGDA. Russia. .TnW 95 T! fV,

in a final message so M. Tchitcherin.
tne Russian Foreign Minister, Ambas
sador Francis declared he had no de
sire to leave Russia unless forced to
do so, and In any event his absence
would only be temporary. The Con
suls of the allied countries, he said.
would remain In Russia.
Tchitcherin said the departure of the
Ambassadors would not alter in the
slightest the relations of Soviet Russia
with the allied countries.
The final mesage sent to Tchitcherin
by Ambassador Francis, as dean of the
diplomatic corps, reviewed the corre
spondence that led to the decslon of
tne - Ambassadors to go to Archangel
and continued:
Deeds Belle Words.
Tour message expressing friendly
feelings for the people I represent and
the desire on your part to maintain re
lations with them Is appreciated, but
you will permit ma to say "that your
treatment of me as their representa
tive does not accord with such expres
sions. ..."
Mr. Francis then dealt with the man
ner in which his communication with
the American State Department had
been Interfered with and delayed and
continued:
Your telegram states that Arch
angel is not a. fit residence for. Ambas
sadors in the event of a 'siege.' Do you
expect a German siege of Archangel?
Certainly you do not anticipate an al
lied siege of that city.
I can only repeat what I have said
to you and to the Russian people many
times, and that is, the allies have noth
ing to fear from the Russian people,
with whom they still consider them-
selves In alliance against the common
enemy.
"The allies have never recognized the
Brest-Litovsk peace and It is becoming
so burdensome to the Russian people
that in my Judgment the time is not far
distant when they will turn upon Ger
many and the repulsion of the enemy
from the Russian border will demon
strate what I have continuously be
lieved, and that is that the national
sprit of Great Russia Is not dead, but
has only been sleeping."

Referring to the formation of the first
Army of the Americans in the field; the
Journal Des Debats says:
"The Americans now are in suffi

experience to form a separate army.
"Public opinion will see, moreover,
in the formation of this' Army the re
sult of the efforts accomplished in a
year by the United States and- a sign
of the part which they Intend to play
In the war. History will record two
great events and two, great examples
of what loyal friendship can achieve
the formation of the British armies and
that of the Americans."
