Try MAYSVILLE, GERMAN STAFF OFFICERS Arrive in Petrograd to Act an Advis. ors to Lenine, Bolsheviki Premier -Believe Germans Are Attempting to Make Russia Active Ally. London, November 27. Information was received here today from Petrograd that a number of German staff officers have arrived there and are acting in an advisory capacity to Nikolai Lenine, the Bolsheviki premier. Washington, November 27-Official confirmation of the news from London that German staff officers are 1 in Petrograd acting as military advisers of the Lenine faction probably will 1 be followed promptly by action on the part of the United States and the Allies definitely to place the Bolsheviki regime in the list of Germany's allies.

If the Germans are there all doubt as to the purpose of the Bolsheviki is removed and the diplomats will be obliged to withdraw to a neutral capital, probably Stockholm, to await instructions from their governments. Such a development undoubtedly would be followed by immediate cancellation of all orders now in process of execution for military and other supplies for Russia both in the United States and Japan. Several from the United States are now on the way to Vladivostok but these can be diverted by wireless orders, and it has been understood that their delivery would be contingent upon evidence that they would not fall into unfriendly hands. With the Germans openly advising Lenine and his followers, it is assumed that efforts will be made to carry Russia into the position of an active ally of the Central Powers. This might produce a most serious situation' by making available to Germany the vast stores of food, oil and cotton of Russia, and even though the Teutons found it impossible to convert the disorganized country into an active military ally, the million or more German, Austrian, and Turkish prisoners held in Russia would be freed for service with the Teutonic armies.

Ever since the overturning of the Kerensky government military strategists here have been anticipating such conditions as exists today in Russia. This is one of the principal problems with which the inter-allied war conference in Paris is expected to deal. Without being bound by any special instructions, Colonel House and his military adviser, General Bliss, will cooperate with the representatives of the Entente powers in framing some policy to meet the situation. Strong hope is felt that an attempt by Lenine to turn Russia over to Germany wll meet with powerful resistance at home, Any action decided upon by the Allies will be directed at the Petrograd Extremists and not at the people of Russia. Reports that come from the Don Cossacks country, that the Hetman, General Kaldedines, may be the master of the situation through his control of the food which is necessary to maintain any military force in the north of Russia, have encouraged military experts here to believe that in spite of the aid of his German advisers, Lenine and his faction may be brought to terms.

DR. JOHN R. MOTT General Secretary of the National War Work Council Issues a Statement "To the Million Men, Women and Children of America Who Contributed to the Y. M. A.

War Fund. Dr. John R. Mott, General Secretary of the National War Work Council, who has made several visits 1 to the war zone in the interest of the soldiers and prisoners of war said: "The response to the appeal of the War Work Council for funds to meet the needs of our enlisted men at the front went far beyond our expectations. We regard it, however, as almost providential, because since the $35,000,000 budget was decided upon, events in the' war zone have created such increased needs that the 000,000 the people have given is none too much.

Soldiers Show Gratitude "Two things are most gratifying to us and should be to every one who gave. One of these is the receipt of scores of letters from our soldier boys telling how much they ciate what the Y. M. C. A.

is doing for them and asking that we do not fail to extend the same care and comforts to the hundreds of thousands of other young men on their way to the front. The other is the response that came from the soldiers' appeal which we transmitted to the American people, who utterly without respect to color, class, creed or financial circumstancer, gave so generously of their funds. gratifying thing is the confidence the people seem to have in both the efficiency and the management of the Y. M. C.

A. Instead of suggesting a freedom of expenditure of the sum the American people have placed in our bands, the confidence which the people have shown in giving $50,000,000 has made even more sober our already serious thought. Every giver, whether it be of hundreds of thousands or merely of cents, can rest assued that every penny of the fund will be applied for our fighting men that will give them a little touch of home in a strange land, build them up in body and spirit and make them even better fighters for our "Fortunately the Y. M. C.

A. has always had the advice of some of the best business men in its local work. It is doubly fortunate in having had its budget made by some of America's best known business and financial leaders. The fact that the fund will be administered by a finance comminttee of which George W. Perkins is chairman and composed of other men with both experience in financial matters and knowledge of Y.

M. C. A. work insures the most economical application of the money contributed. We are preparing a definite plan for the extension of the association work in the camps both here and abroad.

This will be announced soon."
