BOLSHEVIKI BUT
WAY TO VICTORY
FOR THE GERMAN
?Jnited States in Possession of
Proof That Russia Was
Betrayed to the Kaiser
U. S. HAS PROOF
OF HUN GUILT
By Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.
Proofs removing any doubts that
1-enine and Trotzky, the Bol
shevik! leaders, arc paid German
agents—if, indeed, any doubts
remain—nro laid before the world
by the United States Government
in the first instalment of an
amazing series of official docu
ments disclosed through the Com
mittee on Public Information.
Secured In Russia by Ameri
can agents, these documents not
only show how the German gov
ernment. through its Imperial
Bank, paid Its gold to I.enine,
Trotzky and their immediate as
sociates to lie tray Russia into
deserting her allies, but give add
ed pi-ool'. if any lie necessary, that
Germany had perfected her plans
for a war of world conquest long
before the assassinations at Sara
jevo, which as the world now is
convinced, conveniently furnished
her pretext. ,
Washington, Sept. 16. Docu
ments showing that the present
beads of the Bolshevik government.
Denine and Trotzky, and their asso
ciates, are German agents, are in
the hands of the United States gov
ernment. The Committee on Public!
Information yesterday released a
series of communications between
the German Imperial Government
and the Russian Bolshevik govern
ment and between the Bolsheviks
themselves which show that the
Bolshevik revolution was arranged
for by the German Great General
staff and financed by the German
Imperial Bank and other financial
institutions of the Kaiser.
These communications disclose
that the treaty of Brest-Livotsk was
a betrayal of the Russian people by
Lenine and Trotzky.
That a German-picked com
mander was chosen to "defend"
Petrograd against the Germans.
That German officers have se
cretly been received by the Bolshe
vik government as military advisers,
-as spies upon tbe embassies of Rus
sia's allies, as officers in the Russian
army, and as directors of the Bol
shevik military, foreign and domes
tic policy.
Bolsheviks Kaiser's Agents.
That the present Bolshevik gov
ernment is not a Russian govern
ment at all, but a German govern
ment. acting solely in the interest
of Germany and betraying the Rus
sian people, as it betrays Russia's
natural allies, for the benefit of the
German Imperial Government.
That the Bolshevik leaders, for
the same German Imperial ends,
have equally betrayed the Socialist
doctrines which they pretend to rep
. resent.
The documents are some 70 In
number. Many are original docu
ments, annotated by Bolshevik offi
cials. The remainder of the othei'3
are photographs of originals, show
ing annotations: and they corrobo
rate a third set of typewritten cir
culars of which only two originals
arc possessed, but all of which fit
perfectly into the whole pattern of
German intrigue and guilt.
Money For Traitors
The first document, a photograph
of a report n.ade to the Bolshevik
leaders by two of their assistants,
informs them that in accordance
with their Instructions, therp had
been removed from the archives of
the Russian Ministry of Justice the
order of the German Imperial Bank
"allowing money to Comrades Len
ine, Trotsky, and others "for the
propoganda of peace in Russia;"
and that, at the same time, "all the
books" of a bank in Stockholm had
been "audited" to conceal the pay
ment of money to Lenine, Trotsky,
and their associates by the order of
the German Imperial Bank.
This report is endorsed by-Lenine
with his initials for deposit in "the
secret department" of the Bolshevik
files. The authenticity of the report
is supported by Document No. 2, the
original of a report sent by a Ger
man General Staff representative-to
the Bolshevik leaders, warning them
he has just arrested an agent who
had the original order of the Ger
man Imperial Bank referred to in
Document No. 1, and pointing out
that evidently "at the proper time
steps were not taken to destroy the
above-mentioned documents." '
Document No. 3, the original
protocol signed by several Bolshevik
leaders and dated Nov. 2, 1917,
shows that "on instructions of the
representatives of the German Gen
eral Staff in Petrograd" and "with
the consent of the Council of Peo
ple's Commissars" of which Trotsky
and Lenine were the heads, two in
criminating German circulars had
also been taken from the department
of secret service of the Petrograd
district" and given to the, secret
department of the German General
Staff in Petrograd. On the bottom
of the protocol the German adjutant
acknowledges receipt of the two in
criminating circulars with his cipher
signature. To complete the evi
dence the circulars themselves are
penciled with the cipher signature
of the head of the German secret
service bureau.
These two circulars, apparently
obtained by some Russian agent in
Germany, were transmitted to Rus
sia. The German General Staff evi
detnly wished to get them back in
order to destroy them. By order of
the German General Staff and with
the "consent of Lenine and Trotsky
they are turned over to the Germans
to be destroyed because they are
conclusive proof that on June 9,
1914, the German government was
preparing for war, several weeks be
fore the assassination of the Aus
trian Archduke, made the pretext
for waf.
•A \ 0 Excuse For War, June 9, 1911
One circular is an order from- the
German General Staff, dated June 9,
1914, informing "all industrial con
cerns" in Germany to open the seal
ed envelopes containing their "indus
trial mobilization plans and registra
tion forms" so that they might be
prepared for the war for which the
excuse had not yet been found.
The second circular is an order
from the German General Staff of
the High Sea Fleet, dated November
28, 1914, calling for the mobilization
of "all destructive agents and ob
servers" in the United States and
Canada for the purpose of prevent
ing the sailing of ships from Ameri
can ports to Russia, France and Ehg
land. The order calls for explosions,
strikes, "delays, embroilments and
difficulties," and it recommends the
employment of "anarchists and es
caped criminals" for the purpose.
Proofs of German Guilt
It is these damning proofs of a
German conspiracy against the na
tions of Eurona in June. 1914. jad,

against the United States in Novem
ber, 1914—it is these that Lenine
and Trotsky surrender to the Ger
man secret service in Petrograd on
order of "the representatives of the
German General Staff in Petrograd."
Details of Plot Exposed
Various details of the conspiracy
between the Bolshevik leaders and
the German general staff are etcposed
in documents 16 to 29. These are
photographs of letters which passed
between the Bolshevik leaders and
man officers in Russia. Doctfment No

when Russia was still regarded as ;
an ally of Great Britain, France and
America, the German general staff
was having "the honor to request"
the Bolshevik leaders to Inform, it l >

Spies In Allied Chmps
Document 18 shows the German I
general staff requiring the Bolshevik i
leaders to send "agitators to the
camps of the Russian prisoners of
War in Germany" in order that? they,
might procure spies to work among
ithe English arid French troops and
to further "peace propaganda." And
this is proposed by the German gen
eral staff as/being "according to the
negotiations between the Russian and
German peace delegations at Brest-
Livotsk."
In Document 22 the Bolshevik,
leaders and the Germans are'arrang
