That the situation created by the British seizure of the long Hindenburg outpost line and the dominating heights in front of it could not remain stationary for long seemed a foregone conclusion. Whether the enemy would essay further heavy counter attacks depended entirely on the badly drained resources at his command.

I. LEASED WIRE) WASHINGTON, Sept. 1. How the iron hand of the German general staff was extended Into Finland rthrough the German paid Russian BolBhevlki government is pictured in today's Installment of secret documents brought out of Russia for the American "government. There also are some peremptory notes from the German military Intelligence service to Trotzky, the Bolshevik! foreign minister, telling more of the story of the suppression of revolutionary propaganda in Russian provinces after It had played Its part in throwing the provinces into German control.

When the Bolshevik! were slow about opening the way for complete sway for their masters in Finland, the German intelligence service had 'the honor" to remind them that the wlthdraway and disarming of the Russian Red Guard in Finland must be commenced immediately. Furthermdre, the iRussian agents were directed to send to Finland a trusty agent to deal with Yarvo Haspalalnen, chief of the Finnish White Guard, who was disposed to be loyal to his country. This, Edgar Sisson, who procured documents, explains in a note, accounts for the sudden withdrawal of the Red Guard last March, leaving Finland to her fate. Some of the Russians resisted disarmament, but they were beaten. A series of curt orders from the intelligence service to Trotzky calls for the removal of all agitators from the Ukraine, Eastland, Llthonia and Courland, and for the restoration of rights and property to German landlords who had been declared outlawed in Estland.

Other communications throw further light on assassination agreements between the Bolsheviki and anarchists, which have figured in earlier chapters of the series. A list of the anarchists, hired agents for the destruction of the counter revolutionists includes several characters of international notoriety. (my a. p. leaked wire) New oYrk, Sept.
