German dipl macy. charged that Count
von Mtrbach, the assassinated German
Ambassador at Moscow, had proposed
iierman aid for the oterthrow of the

Brest-Lltovsk treaty
"The elements fer a national move
nieut tending to liberation from Ger

by thf Moscm revolt and the valiant
I'zecho-Slovak movement " said Sir
Sookine. "Tile apparent failure of this
national ni' vement through combined
German-Bols-hevlkl attacks proves once
more that no matter how sliu'cre and
genuine the anti-German feelings, which
inspire the peat-ants and isjpular organi
zations, any attempt of a national char
acter, would net succeed without a
fiiendlv Allied help "
Mr. Sookine declared there Is an abso
lute necessity of immediate Allied help
"In which the presence of Allied mllltnrv
units is understood to be a great factor
In restoring that hope which the Rus
sians aie losing."
j Mr. Sookine declared he did n t refer
; to assistance for any particular fac

It hides snipers and machine guns in
advance of the main line. This Is, of
course, to- avoid the shell fire concen
trated upon definite lines and to keep
his battalions as far back us possible.-
It Is not a pleasant situation for the
outpost parrlson, who are often cut
off for . time from rations and their
way back by a barrage of shell fire
which is flung behind them. With
tho Australians against them, they
know that any time of the day or
nigh tthey are likely to be looking Into
the glint of bayonets.
So It happened to them last eve
ning. Quite suddenly the Australian
attack oened with an enterprise of
a party of four, who went across to a
German strong point and returned
soon afterward with the astonishing
number of more than thirty prisoners.
Then a bigger crowd dt Australian
