A tragic and Impreaatre sample of "Mad In Berlin peace, the United States government to today's Installment of official disclo sures through the committee on public. information elves the world a compre henslve behind the scenes view of the shameful plots which preceded the fore in upon helpless Russia of the ruinous Brest-LitoTsk treaty. Following as they do the latest Teu tonic peace offer to the allies and its tartllnrly prompt rejection by the United States, they possess an immediate Interest and give an exceptionally clear outline of the standard and methods by which Germany seta about to make peace with her enemies. Below are enumerated some of the striking feature of the Berlin way of "negotiating" peace as revealed In orlg Inal documents or photographic copies of official German and Bolshevik docu 'meats .made public today: Km Patriots, Germae Way 1 Assassination of anti-German Rus sian generals and loyal Russian patriots 2 Dastardly plots against General Bonch-Breuvlch, head of the Russian general staff, stationed at Petrograd which led to his overthrow and the selection of a German hand-picked sue cessor, obedient to Berlin, to prepare the way for the complete debauchery, demoralisation of the Russian army which followed. 3 Suppression by the most rigorous and merciless force of all patriotic propaganda by loyal Russian soldiers and civilians, who still sought to save their country from destruction and plunder. 4 Treachery even to Lenlne and - Trotsky, their servile hirelings Involved In the aparat peace with the Ukraine. Brotherhood Is Flanasd S Complete brotherhood in the major conspiracy among Germany, Austria and the Lenlne-Trotzky regime as early as November, 1917. It is to be borne in mind that alt these acts were planned or committed before March 4, 1911, the day Petro grad received news of the signing the treaty by the Russian and German delegation. They took place at a time when Russia was supposedly at war with Germany and the central powers, and when Lenine and Trotzky were posing as the apostles of democracy and free government, who were to liber ..ate the Russian people.- , The actual effect of the treason of the ; Bolshevik! , chiefs was - to r enable Germany to combine Its former army on the Russian front with its western army for the launching of Its March offensive in Prance. The dlastrous climax to that lU-begotten campaign is now a matter of history, and at this moment, cable dispatches indicate that t Lenlne and Trotsky, Russia's chief betrayers, cowed by the rising storm . of the : outraged Russian people, are : now arranging flight from their last place of refuge In Russia. Such has been the fruition of Germany's attempted subjugation and despoliation of the Russian nation. Incidentally it Is pointed out that the procurement by Edgar Sisson, the representative of the committee on pub lic Information in Russia . during the winter of 1917-18, of the damning docu mentary proofs now being made public indicates that the Impenetrable - secret service of Germany has collapsed along with its discredited diplomacy and its retreating army. Secret Letter Revealed ' Chronologically arranged, the first document is dated November 28, 1917, being a photograph of a "very secret" letter of the German secret service, setting forth that the German and Aus trian high commands, cooperating with Lenlne and Trotzky, had worked out a plan of the activities of the revolution aries known as the council of work mens and soldiers' deputies Chudovsky, Boyardsky, ; Gubarsky and Platokov who are under full direction of the Austro-Hungarian high command. This final convincing sentence clinches the proof of conspiracy: "The com mender in chief of the Russian army has been made acquainted by Shott with plans of the Austro-German high command and will cooperate with them." Disclosures of a cold-blooded plan of assassination and the arming of Ger man prisoners of war as Russian soldiers Is contained in a similar com munication dated in December, 1917. The United States government also has a photograph of this paper. It says in part: Assassination on Program "The agents sent by order from Petro grad to kill Generals Kaladin. Bogavesky and .Alexieff were cowardly and non- enterprising people. The agents passed through to Karauloff. The communica tions of General Kaledin with the Ameri cana and English are beyond doubt, but they limit themselves entirely to finan cial assistance. "The major also organised a detach ment of prisoners of war in accordance with the directions given by the July conference at Kronstadt participated in by Messrs. Lenine. (Then follows other names). How the Bolshevtki chiefs themselves were double-crossed ' y Germany is shown in another official communica tlon by the Bolshevik! "counter espio age," dated January 10, 191. and ad dressed to the Russian commission for combatlrig the counter revolution. The following appears: "There have been sent comrades Via slnko (and others) who more than once have very successfully performed in formation service. The commissar. In his cipher telegram, indicates that the German and Austrian agents assigned rrom retrograd (named) are playing double role reporting on what is hap pening at Petrograd and they carry on an intensive . agitation in favor of la separate peace of the Ukraine with the central powers, and for the restoring of order. Their work is having suc cess." Private Meetings Reported Corroboration of the German treach ery is found in a report of the "counter espionage," dated January 30, 1918, which contains these statements : "You are informed that the German JOHN, W; cDAVIS NAMED by P r e i d e n t WUscin-rtodaytto be United .States ambas sador to Great Britain, suc ceeding Walter Hines; Page.

They Insist ently inform us of the inevitable sign ing and ratification of peace treaties, both between the Ukraine and the cen tral powers and between Roumania and Austria and Germany." It is pointed out In the accompanying notes of .Mr. Sisson. that the 'German plan had the advantage of not only disciplining the Petrograd Bolshevists, but also of diaunifying Russia still fur ther. Germany, . however, did not discard Lenlne and Trotzky, recognizing their further use and- value as indispensable tools in its world campaign for Internal disorganizations in the nations with which it was at war, and to complete the conspiracy Russia. . Overthrow Secretly Hotted On February S. 1918. the German staff is found to be secretly plotting for the overthrow of General Bonch-Bruevich. the Russian general. Here is the evi dence: i. "Agent C. Missirof is to be sent to the staff of the Russian high command, where, according to the previous discus sion between General Hoffman and -Commissars Trotsky and J of fe, he will keep watch on the activity of the head of the staff. General Bonch-Bruevich. in the capacity of assistant to the commis sars, Kalmanovfch and Felerabend.' Investigations are being conducted to day by the police and the county coroner to test the truth of a story told by Mrs. Chin t Dock. .a Chinese woman, , whose baby. - apparently strangled, - was found dead Tuesday night at 7-North Fifth street. The, woman told the ponce ane had been slugged with a milk bottle and attacked by a negro, who escaped through a window. he said he had strangled the baby with a stocking as a precaution against its cries. . Emergency hospital attaches, who ex amined the woman's head, found the skin bruised. Mrs. Dock said her 15-year-old daugh ter had Just gone to a nearby drugstore when the negro attacked her, tnrew her, on, the bed and hit her over the head with the baby's milk bottle. When the daughter returned from her errand, she found her mother unconscious with a swelling on her head, and the baby was lying at her side dead, with a stock ing tied around its neck, according to her. story. Mrs. Dock explained 'that the negro had entered her room as soon as she waa left alone. He took one of her stock ings hanging on the bed post and tied It around the baby's neck to keep t from crying so loudly, she said. , ' The Injured woman described "her as sailant a a large black man, smooth shaven and about 85 years old.

My head seemed as though it would burst, and I had frequent dixxy spells. I was in despair of getting well until I read about Dr. Williams Pink Pills and be gan taking them. A few boxes proved that they were an ideal remedy lor the treatment of nervous disorders and since then I have used them as a family medicine. The pills have done snore for me than anything else and I recommend them heartily." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a tonio though I took about every cough medi cine there is on the market.

My nights were so restless that I could get but little aleep, and I would get up In the morning feeling tired and fagged out and worse than when I went to bed.
