frost of the attack between Albert and

notice that the German high command,

counterattacks.
It seems logical to conclude that the

the advance of the allied troops, so as
to evacuate territory slowly enough to

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22. Dispatches
from Russia today were of a somewhat
disturbing nature to State Department
officials.
Vice-Consul Robert W. Imbrie. at
Petrograd, reported in a delayed dis
patch that members of the- Bolshevik
government at the former Russian
capital had issued a pronunciamehto
declaring that a state of war existed
between Russia and the United States.
In view of the Bolshevik declaration
Mr. Imbrie reported In his dispatch,
which was dated August 2, that he had
lowered the United States flag over the
consulate and. following the recent
action of Consul-General Poole at Mos
cow, closed the consulate and turned
the affairs of the United States to the
Norwegian Consul.

Americans in Petrograd, believed to
number about 20, were warned to

The terms of the treaty, which Is ex
pected to diminish the sending of sup
plies to Germany, were made public
here today by Axel R. Nordvall, head
of the special commission of the Swed
ish government to the united btaies.
It gives to the allies 400.000 tons of
deadweight shipping and 2.000.009 tons
of Swedish Iron ore.
Sweden also agrees to license the ex

It would take very unfavorable atmos

Allied TrMa Baeyaat.
Besides, the allied soldiers are buoyed
with a desire to finish the Job quickly.
with the certainty of victory. We can,
therefor, reckon that, following an en
ergetic rearguard battle, Hindenburg
will oblige Ludendorff to withdraw to
a new Hindenburg line. Perhaps this
retirement will go as far as the old
line: perhaps it may be carried farther
north.
It is a matter of effectives that will
force th Germans.
I don't expect this retirement unless
the allies carry out an audacious move
that will go past the northern coal
mining regions in the valley of the
Meuse. Into the Brey region, for the
Winter. The Germans still reckon they
have a "guarantee" of Invaded and oc
cupied districts for the final settlement
of accounts. They will only recross the
frontier and evacuate Belgium if forced
by battle to do so.
Great Retreat Prepared.
We state these conjectures from
purely aa Individual and personal point
of view. In our estimation the first
step in a great German retreat Is being
- prepared. It can be precipitated sooner
than we foresee either by a possible al
lied move or by an Internal crisis la
Germany. That Is why. for the time
being, we must remain calm and col
lected, and not be discouraged if we
find success not going exactly aa dur
ing July and early August.
Let as take a clear view of the Im
mense battle as a whole. On the west
ern front are many sectors which may
'suddenly reawaken to fresh activity.
The battle at the present moment is
concentrated about Oise and In Picardy.
Bat the northern and eastern extremi
ties of Flanders and Lorraine may yet
harbor "surprises."
On the Oriental front from the south.
In the Balkans to the Caspian Sea. and
along the trans-Siberian route there
may be some "surprises," too, which
await the Germans.
; The allies should neglect nothing. All
efforts should be concentrated on the
defeat of Germany everywhere that she
can be hit. Victory will be In the
rapuitulation and the disarmament of
Germans. She should not hold any
more "guarantees" or any reserve
forces of aera-resslveness for the future.

grant to the allies suitable credit in
Sweden for the purchase of Swedish
goods during the continuance of the
present unfavorable monetary exchange.
Exports te Foe Prohibited.
Sweden, according to Mr. Nordvall,
has given satisfactory guarantees that
no goods imported to Sweden from any
nations whose shipping the allies con
trol will be exported to any of the cen
tral powers.
In exchange for these commodities.

have agreed to ship to Sweden Lread

tin. tlnplate, nitrate of soda, raw phos
phates, sulphur, "and other goods and
materials necesiary for Sweden's eco
nomic life." - j
Signing of the agreement, Mr. Nord
val admitted, was a virti. I acceptance
by Sweden of the allied blockade. Ne
gotiations, he said, bad been in prog
ress since May. 1917. The treaty was
signed M,ay .29 last.
Coalitions gerioas Im Swede a.
Conditions In Sweden, the envoy stat
ed, were very serioux In fact, no food
stuffs of any nature were being shipped
out of the country because of the do
mestic scarcity.
Previously, he said, Germany had
purchased, virtually th entire Swedish
output of Iron ore mines. Germany
would continue to receive soma Iron
ore from his country, Mr. Nordvall stat
ed, but in greatly lessened quantities.
Sweden's acceptance of any commod
ity from allied government acts as an
embargo on the same commodity pro
cured in Sweden. Mr. Nordvall ex
plained this would prevent Sweden
from sending food to Finland, where,
he remarked, "conditions are actually
worse than they are In Belgium, and
thousands are starving.
Viewed In all its aspects, the allied
view seemingly shows that General
Koch now has the initiative entirely in
his own hands and that he purposes to
press his advantages for the little more
than two months of good fighting
weather that remain before the Winter
season seta in.

been held up by the BolBheviki.
The reference in Consul imone s dis
patch to a declaration of war against
the United States by the Bolshevik
authorities, however, was regarded
most seriously by officials.
Trotsky's Speech Recalled.
It was suggested that the speech of
Minister of War Trotzky at Moscow

a state of war existed between Russia
and Great Britain and France and their
allies and which Foreign Minister
Tchitcherin modified. In response to an
inquiry by Consul-General Poole, to

cution of the offensive are of the ut
most strategic value. Nowhere is the
enemy being permitted to pause for
breath. The armies of Halg, Mangin

no denial of their efforts.
Thousands of prisoners, numerous
guns and machine guns and large
stores of war supplies have been added
to the stocks already in allied hands.
To the British alone in the last two
days of fighting have come more than
5000 prisoners.
Particularly heavy fighting occurred
