BERLIN PLOT TO TRICK RUSSIAN TOOLS EXPOSED Secret Documents ShoNv the Means Used to Prevent Bolshevik Growth Washington, Sept. 19.—German trickery In breaking the Ukraine away from the bought-and-pald-for Bolshevik government, plots against loyal Russian soldiers and their leaders to Insure complete German sway after the false peace confer ence at Brest-Litovsk, and further evidence of the precautions of the Teutons ngainst Bolshevik preach ing In their own ranks are shown In the Instalment of secret docu ments from Russia made public by the- United Btates Government yes terday. Communications written In Janu ary disclose that the Bolshevlkl were fully Informed of what the Germans were doing In the Ukraine, and knew that peace treaties with the Ukraine and Rumania were coming. They also learned quickly enough that Germany was disposing of their hopes to see their revolutionary propaganda take root on German soil. Notes from the Gorman Intelli gence service to Trotzky, the Com missar of Foreign Affairs, show first that a Turk with a Russian pass port was sent to Petrograd to keep watch over the Russian commander in-chief. and that ft month after ward, late In February, removal of the commander-in-chief. General Bonch Bruevick, was demanded. Bruevick, whose continuance in the position was "particularly no longer desirable" to the Germans, was turned out and General Parskl, named by the German Intelligence service, was appointed to command the Petrograd district. Another note from the intelligence service complains that "the agents sent to kill Generals Kaledin. Bo galvsky and Alexleff were coward ly, hon-enterprising people." This same document shows that as long ago as December, 1917, former Ger man prisoners of war were being dressed in Russian uniforms to tight loyal Russian soldiers. The significance of the documents is discussed in notes by Edgar Sis son, who brought the documents out of for the Committee on Pub lic Information. Tools' Ambition Punished Germany made its Russian peace with its own puppet government, the mis-named Council of People's Com missars, the president of which Is Vladimir Ulianov (Lenlne), the For eign Minister of which was Leon Trotzky and the ambassador of which to Germany is A. Joffe. Ger many made this peace harder upon the Russian people as punishment for the ambition of its tools in seek ing to become too powerful and In hoping for a little while not only that Russia would be delivered to them, but that they could double cross their masters by turning a simulated German revolution into a real one. But their craftiness was a toy In the hands of rough German force. Germany was actually double-cross ing them by negotiating with the Ukrainian Rada at the moment they dreamed they were tricking Ger many. Leaders Not Discarded Germany, however, did not discard the Bolshevik leaders, recognizing their further use in the German world campaign for internal disor ganization in the nations with which it wars, but confined them to the limited inland province which Great Russia proper has now become. Lenine, according to statements made public as soon as Trotzky's spectacular device of "No peace—no war" failed, always was for peace on any German terms. He dominated the situation thereafter and conced ed everything that Germany asked. Nor did Trotzky cease to continue to obey the German orders delivered to him, both by General Hoffman, at Brest-Litovsk, and at Petrograd di rectly by the Russian division of the German General Staff, which was seated in Petrograd itself from No vember, and which was still there In full operation when I left, Monday, March 4, the day that Petrograd re ceived notification that peace had been signed at Brest-litovsk by the Russian and German delegations. Trotzky Demobilized Army Trotzky, therefore, rests rightly under the accusation of having staged his theatrical scene as a cli max to the Russian disorganization desired by Germany. The actual or der he gave was for the Immediate demobilization of the Russian army, leaving the German army unopposed. Tho actual effect of the work of the Bolshevik leaders, moreover, was to enable Germany to combine its former army of the Russian front with its western army for the launching of its March offensive in France. . Such has been the position of Russia's German-directed Bol sheviklsm. Keep Your Eye On the Wonderful MOLINE TRACTOR At the State Tractor Demonstration, Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week.
