STOCKHOLM, Sunday, Sept. 8. (By Associated Press). Tho lack of reliable Information in Finland and Sweden concerning Internal affairs In Russia amazed the American and Italian refugees, who havo just ar rived from Russia. Thoy wore like wise much surprlnsd to find Finland and Sweden In such a normal condi tion. The Dolshovik and German news papers and propagandists have the field all to themselves In supplying Russia with Information. Russia in given little foreign newn except that which Indicates weaknoss on the part of tho entento powers and the utrongth of tho central em pires. Tho government now actually prints the f.'w journals still appear ing In I'etrograd and Moscow. Iiiflltiii War Announced The Associated I'ress correspon dent who left Russia with the recent ly arrived party and Is filing this dis patch, can testify that the Americans remaining In Russia were treated to many . announcements that tho In dians were opposing conscription ovor all America and that tho United States was again In the throes of In dian war. The people of tho United States also wore described as starv ing for tho lack of such commodities as sugar and flour and gonernl pro dictions woro marto that tho allied activities on the western and Italian fronts would fall because tho Unllod States and Canada could not furnish tho necessary bread. Such Blories woro so ridiculous that thoy gained no credence amung tho educated foreigners. Neither did thoy believe tho wild reports of wholosnlo starvation In Knglnnd where persons woro pictured as full ing dead from hunger. .

Japan, China and Slam are roproaonted as undergoing widespread revolution. Instoad of there being a demand for a BolBhovIk regime In Finland, as tho soviet papers represent, nlno tenths of the Finnish hold up their hands in horror when llolshovlklsm is mentioned. Tho Dolshovik idea is oqunlly for bidden to tho great majority of the Swedes who aro paying no attention to tho violent propaganda of the Dolshovik agents In Stockholm, FOCH FORCES BOCH BACK.
