The most significant are photograpo* of two communications from the German Imperial Bank, one being a letter to the chairman of the Council of the Russian People's Commitsionaries, and the other is a resolution of the conference oi the German wmmercial teaks received by the chaijpan of the 80lArvikß' Central Executive Committee, endorsed <bj him, giving a synopsis of the terms on which Germany intends to control all Russian industries for five years from the signing of peace, all English, French, «nd American capital to be banished from Russia, and Germany and Austria to enjiy unlimited privileges, sending mechanics and qualified workmen to Russia, and all other foreign workmen barred. Further details of the conspiracy show that three German submarines were to be lent to the Pacific by the TmnsSiberian railway. TV letters show how the Bolshevik leaden and the Germans arranged the assassination of the Russian Nationalist leaders, for the destruction of tile Polish legionaries in the Basaian Army, for the disorganisation of the Army, deposing the Sonmanauj King, for substituting offiaers satisfactory to Germany to command the Russian troops instead of patriotic Russian generate, for the suppression of patriotic agitation among Bnsaiaut soldiers, for an attack upon the Italian Ambassador at Petroaid, for the employment of German soldi«r« in Russian -uniforms against the Russian national armies. The BnlAevik leaders further acted as German agents by suppressing their own Socialists' Tewifatkms in Russian provinces where their doctrines interfered with German phrns. The annexation ef another group of letfeiv *o*l hoer O* Germans ffaeoted th# Bolshevik leaders in dealing with the Ukraine and made a separate German peaee with the awti-Bolsh<rvik leaders of that province. Still another group shows that the Germans -were assisting be&h rides in the civil war in Finland. STAGE OF FRENZY REACHED. 80MB GHASTLY SIGHTS. PBIESTS AJ© OFFICERS CHIEF VICTIMS. Stockholm, Sept. 16. The terrorism in Bosnia has readied * stage of absolute frenzy. He correspondent of a Stockholm newspaper likens the ruthlessness of the bloodthirsty Soviets to rabies. Daily were «re Han numerous corpses floating on the Neva or washed towards Kronstadt and swept ashore. Another ghastly sight wag sij priests roped together flung into the river. Hie tide later threw their bodies up on the beach. The tumbrils are heard rolling all night through the Petro®ad streets laden with corpses from the prison courtyards. Priests and officers are the chief victims, the others are principally the hated bourgeoisie, who are shot oa the ; least suspicion of anti-Bol?hevik tendencies. Over a hundred engineers and foremen of the Putiloff works have been murdered because they displeased the manager. Assassination became the regular policy when the executive appointed Lenin, Trotsky, and Sinovieff to protect the tottffing Bolshevism. They were assisted by Uritsky, Minister of the Interior, who is nicknamed the Bolshevik Marat The result of the proclamation demanding the shooting of everyone convicted of anti-Bolsheviat sentiments was that the Red Guards and the rabble carried out the order vitb savage alertness. A young student named Ranneyeiske; acted as Wtsky's Charlotte Corday. There were 52 victims on the first list, but afterwards they became so numerous no further lists were published. The murders and imprisoning of hostages greatly increased after Uritsky'3 death. Thus a situation of extreme tension aqd peril has been created and a revolt may break out at any moment. This is what even the Soviet supporters dread. Hie city is paraded by artillery in all directions, machine-guns are posted at every corner, and highly paid Red Guards and Chinese serve as a bodyguard and surround every commissioner's residence and office. —Times.
