(JOSEPH SHAPLEN)
STOCK HTIM. June 10. The
counter revolutionary movement In

The bourseoise have virtually re

Finland and in the Don region. Rus
sia is threatened by foreign Imperial
ists on the north, west and south.
Germany is gradually approaching
Kussla's heart with masked cunning
preparing to pierce It at a desirable
moment. An alliance of Oerman and
KUsslan counter-revolutionaries Is
preparing' for a final complete coun
ter revolution. I-ast week In Moscow
a plot was discovered In which reac
tionaries planned to kill the repub
lic and restore monlurchy through a
simultaneous uprising In Moscow,
retrograd and other cities. The Ger
man command la splendidly inform
ed on re-actlonary plans.
The Holsheviki themselves admit
'wo are already a corpse but there is
no nne to oury us.
Tho HolMievikl regime Is universal
ly hated because of its violent meth
ods resembling the czar's. The pro
letariat is leaving the bolshevikl en

HONOR PLAGE FOR
U-S. BATTLESHIPS
Navy has 19,000 Officers,
400,000 Men; Size In
creased Four Times. ,
NEW YORK, June 1 When' a
few days ago, the British received
word that German battleships were
about to come out from their hiding
for a great battle on the high seas,
the British navy heads gave the first
class American battleships a poet ot
honor In preparation for the attack.
Rear Admiral Albert Gleaves head
of American transport and cruiser op
erations, made this statement:
"X am within the limitation of
orders when I say that the United
States has a large number of first
class battleships now preparing side
by side with the best ships ot the
British navy for an engagement on
the high seas which la expected to
occur at any time with the German
fleet,' the speaker said, prefacing hia
narration of the honor accorded Am
erican fighting ships when an en
gagement waa expected.
Navy 4 Times Greater.
"We have about 160 Teasels over
there and between 16,000 and 40.000
men aboard them,' the admiral said.
"We now have a navy of 1 000 offi
cers and more than 400.000 men.
This means that we have a navy four
times greater than It was just before
the war."
Many questions were asked of the
admiral. One was as to the practi
cability of carrying airplanes , on
cruisers. Admiral Gleaves said:
-Seattle' lias Airplane.
All navies have experimented
along such a line, but the airplanes
are so fragile they are often put out
of commission by the discharge ot
the big guns of a cruiser. It fa dif
ficult to -get them on and off tne
