RUSSIAN SECRET j
DOCUMENTS SHOW
HUN PLOTTINGS
Destructive Agents Ordered
to U. S. to Employ Ter
rorists For Kaiser
Waslilngtou, Sept. 21.—Another
convincing link in the proof that
Germany was preparing to start a
war of world conquest at least six
weeks before the excuse for it was
offered by the assussi nation of the
Austrian heir apparent at Sarajevo
concludes the amazing series of dis
closures which the American Gov
ernment has given to the public
through secret documents it brought
out of Russia.
Two authehticated documents are
included in the final chapter of the
story, which began a week ago, with
evidence removing any doubt that
may have existed that the Russian
Bolshevik government, headed by
Lenine and Trotzky, is a tool of the
Imperial German government.
One of these is an original circu
lar from the German general staff,
dated June 9, 1914, directing that all
industrial concerns be notified to
open their secret instructions for
industrial mobilization.
Anarchists For Bomb Plots
Another, dated November 20,
1914, is from the German naval gen
eral staff, and reveals that within
four months after hostilities began
in Europe "destruction agents" were
ordered to Canada and the United
States to hire anarchists and escaped
criminals for the bomb plots and
work of terror which finally played
a part in drawing the United States
into the war.
In addition to this authenticated
evidence, Edgar Sisson, who obtained
the papers for the Committee on
Public Information, offers a remark
able group of circulars put out in
Russian text at Pctrograd last win
ter purporting to be copies of docu
ments taken from the archives of
the counter-espionage bureau of the
Kerensky government, supplemented
by some from the files of the same
bureau before the fall of the Czar.
! Some of this matter has been pub
lished previously in France and in
- this country.
i The circulars tell of German ar
; rangements, six months before the
