which was published several montfis ago,

of the Foreign Office In Petrograd. ap

as late as November, 1913, remained
faithful to the Allies.
In that month, says M Masson, Count
Eulenburg, Prussian court minister, sent
to Count Fredericks, who occupied a
similar post at the Russian court, a let
ter, of which the essential passages were
as follows:
'The trusty and cordial relations
which have united us for more than
thirty j ears Justify me in writing you
this letter Our duty toward God, our
Sovereigns, and our countries, forces us
to do everything possible to re-establish
between our masters their former friend

ship Is re-established our two Govern
ments will easily find a basis of an hon

The' letter, says M JIasson was In
trusted to a secret emissary and posted
In Petrograd. Count Fredericks! Im
mediately communicated It to the Czar,
who at once sent for Sazonoff. his tor
eign minister. All three agreed that the
letter could have been written only by
order, and that It was without doubt
dictated by William himself. The Czar,
n. juasson asserts, said to Sazonoff (
"Vou know my Ideas. Prepare a reply
which Count Frederlcksz will sign "
Next day Sazonoff brought the Csar
the draft of a reply couched In the fol
lowing words:
"If your sentiments are such as you
describe, get Emperor William to order
'his Oovernment to address a collective
proposal of peace to .all the Govern

Paris, July 2.
The real movement which will free
rtussla from Bolshevism is coming from
Siberia, according to a cable dispatch
which Vladimir Bcurtseff, the famous
revolutionary, has sent tho -Matin from
Stockholm, where he has taken refuge.
An organization which is being created
there, he sayr. Is rallying around the
whole of anti-Bolshevist Russia, and hs
i
at its head representatives of all the
other parties. The object of this move
ment is not only to conquer the Bolshc
vlkl, but to rout Bolshevism out of Rus
sia. BourUeff, vv bo was for years one of
the Nihilists, says frankly that Grand
Duke Michael's address to the Russian
people puts the situation correctly, and
that for this reason he and his col
'eagues warmly welcome Michael's ap
r.tl for the formation of a provincial
government
"At tho head of the Siberian armies."
says Bourtseff, "Is General Alexleff, a
comrade by his principles and activity,
and Korniloff and Kaledlnes, those Tion
est generals, democrats and Russians,
whose names will always remain dear
to the Russian people. Let our allies
fully understand how much hope wc put
today in these Siberian troops."
Referring to the future, Bourtseff says
that the government of the country must
belong to a regularly elected constit
uent assembly and not to any absolute
monarch or Soviets, but uwtll this gov
ernment can be elected power must be

Tarn has had all the "standing
luck of the British army," but Fate
found him at last almost.
His talented biographer, Mr.
Edgar Wallace, in a whirlwind
climax, tells of Tarn's supreme day.

tho will of the whole nation, as did the
first revolutionary provisional govern
ment before It was mutilated.
"This provisional government' must
be constituted from representatives of
all parties, and have an absolutely na
tional character. It must not be a
collection of agitators and demagogic
theorists, but must Include all Russian
politicians and, first of all, the mem
bers of the constituent assembly elected
last November. If It does not Include
these men and shows the same weak
ness as the provisional government, the
Allies will regard the regeneration of
Russia In the near future as Impossible.
"Such a Oovernment must stick at
nothing In order to restore order and
root out Bolshevism In every form. The
new government' must realize that the
present war against the Germans Is for
Russia a question of foreign policy and
home policy at tho same time. Russia
must resume her relations with the
Allies and continue the defense of the
common cause with all their mutual
forces."

Insurance
The best kind of insurance is
demonstrated quality.
That is the kind of tire insur
ance that guards against delays
and troubles; that increases
' your mileage on each tire; and
reduces your tire bills for the
year.
For a quarter of a century, Hartford
Tires have given this kind of insurance.
They are superior today because they are
built to the most exacting standard.
Hartford Tires are made in four treads,
including the Hartford Cord Tire which
is a distinct advance in cord tire con
struction and can be depended upon for
extreme service. Other treads are the
well-known "H" Tread, "Strongheart" .
Tread and "Plain."

Swiss Opinion Turning Against
Bodies Because of Slavery
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger

T.ngnno, July 2. One of the th,lnra
which Is slowly but surely turnlnr
Swiss opinion against Germany Is the
latter'a treatment of the population of
the occupied territories. A few days
ago the Swiss press was moved to arigtr
by the news that 20,000 captured Fln'
nlsh Red Guards had been shipped to
Germany. This figure Is enormous, can.
stderlng the number of the Flnnsh popu
lation. Belgians and Finns, however, account
for only a fraction of Germany's slave.
Numerically the most Important are the
Poles. The news Is published that the.
Poles In captivity number 700,000. The
mortality among them Is high on account
of underfeeding. Fugitives who attempt
to return to their own homes are
severely punished, generally together
with one or two relatives. ,
