Political rumors restored today's stock market from a session of lethargic character to one In which active buying in the last hour car ried the general list of shares into the highest levels of the day. While Wall street could obtain no confirmation of vague naporte that the Hohenzollern dynasty had abdicated or was soon to do ao. circulation dt them on tne financial news ticker facilitated a recovery from the earlier pressure which, concentrated on speculative' issues and United States Steel, 4n many instances had carried prices down 1 to 5 points below Mon- I day's close. United States Steel more than made up its loss during tne finan cial period of covering, closing at $1.08, or of a point higher than the previous day's close. other stocks which participated notably In the final upswlng'were Canadian Pacific, which advanced four points;, and Ameri can Car, American Telephone, Bethlehem Steel, Texas company and Mexican Petrol eum, the two oils making new high rec ords for the year on continued acquisition of these shares which began In yester day's market. Oeneral Motors regained H of its loss of 614 points suffered earlier In response to announcement that Chevrolet Motors, in Its proposed dissolu tion, would distribute assets, including 460,000 shares of General Motor stock. American Sumatra Tobacco and United States Alcohol also rallied sharply. Exchange rates on neutral countries continued their recent downward course, losing from 6 to 50 points, attributed to favorable weather newa and international political rumors. Foreign war Issues were actively dealt In, Paris sixes rising 14 of a point to 5Mi, a new high price for the year.

As a result of the general embargo on grain shipments to western primary centers unless storage room was arranged for, the corn market today ahowed weakness tho greater part of the session. Prices closed nervous, Ho to lc down, with October $1.62 to $1.62 and November, $1.48 to $1.48. Oats, on the contrary, gained c to c set, and provisions advanced 60c to JOc Announcement that the railway grain embargo had been made all embracing brought about a sharp break In corn values promptly after "rs opening. At the same time, the f that no frost was shown on the weu. map and that the forecast was for more warmth and sunshine tended to Increase bearish senti ment especially as the government had predicted that the bulk of the crop would be safe from frost by September 20. Covering by shorts led to a good rally, but weakness soon developed again in view of the fact that atorage room in Chicago remains ample, and the out look that arrivals here might be heavily enlarged. Strength In oats came for the most part from buying credited to the government and to the northwest. Improved cash Inquiry made provisions advance. The downward tendency of corn had only a transient bearish effect. New York General. New York, Sept. 17. Wheat Spot Steady; No. $ red, $2.84, track New York, export to arrive.

Germantrickery in breaKing the Ukraine away from the bought-and-paid-for bolsheviki government, plots against loyal Russian soldiers and their leaders to insure complete German sway after the false peace conference at Brest-Litovsk, and further evidence of the pre cautions of the Teutons against bolsheviki preaching in their own ranks, are shown in today's installment of secret docu ments frm Russia, made public by the United States govern ment. Com In unications written in Jan-S- uary disclose tnat tne ooisneviKi were fi$$y " informed of what the Germans were doing in the Ukraine and knew that peace treaties with the Ukraine and Roumania were coming. They also learned quickly enough that Germany was dispos ing of their hopes to see their revo lutionary propaganda take root on German soil. Turk Watches Russians. Notes from the German intelli gence service to Trotzky, the com missar of foreign affairs, show first that a Turk with a Russian passport was sent to Fetrograd to keep watch over the Russian commander-in-chief, and that a month after ward, late in February, removal of the commander-in-chief, General Iionch Bruevick, was demanded. Bruevick whose continuance in the position was "particularly no longer desirable" to the Germans, was turned out and General Parski, named by the German intelligence service, complains that "the agents sent to kill Generals Kaledine, Bogaevski and Alexieff, were cow ardly, non-enterprisinf people." This same document shows that as long ago'as December, 1917, for mer German prisoners of war were being dressed in Russian uniforms to fight loyal Russian soldiers. The significance of the docu ments is discussed in notes by documents out of Russia for the committee on public information. Germany made its Russian peace with its own puppet government, the misnamed council of People's Com-, missars, the president of which is Vladimir Ulianov (Lenin), the for eign minister of which was Leon Trotsky, and the ambassador of which to Germany is a A. Joffe. Ger many made this peace harder upon the Russian people as punishment to 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 over to them, but that they could double-cross their masters by turn ing 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-crossing by negotiating with the Ukrain ian Rada at the moment they dream ed they were tricking Germany. Germany, however, did not dis card the bolshevik leaders, recog nizing their further use in the Ger man world campaign for internal disorganization in the nation with which it wars, but confined them to the limited inland province which Great Russia proper has now be come. Russia Betrayed. Lenin, according to statements made public as soon as Trotsky's spectacular device of "No peace No war" failed, always was for peace on any German terms. He domi nated the situation thereafter and conceded everything that Germany asked. Nor did Trotsky cease to continue to obey the German orders delivered to him, both by General Hoffman, t Brest-Litovsk and at Petrograd, directly by the Russian division of the German general staff, which was seated in Petrograd itself from November, and which was still there in full operation when I left, Monday, March 4, the day that Pet rograd received notification that peace had been signed at Brest Litovsk by the Russian and German delegations. Trotsky, therefore, Tests rightly under the accusation of having staged his theatrical scene as a cli max to the Russian disorganiza tion desired by Germany. The actual order he gave was for the immediate demobilization of the Russian army, leaving the German army unopposed. The 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 fruition of Russia's Ger-man-directed bol shevikism. The following, documents tell the story of the betrayal of Russia to a shameful and ruinous peace: v ' Document No. 21. (Or. Oeneral Staff, Central Division, No. 759. Nov. 1, 1917.)

To he President of the Council or People's Commissars: Not hav ing received an exact answer to my question of the 25th of February, I now have the honor to request you to inform me in the shortest possi ble time the numbers and kind of forces sent to Pskoff and Narva. At the same time at the orders of the representative of our general staff I once more remind you of the desirability of naming General Par ski to the post of commander-in-chief of the Russian armed forces, in place of General Bonch-Bruevich, whose actions do not meet the ap proval of the German high com mand. Since the attacks on the lives and property of the German land owners in Estland and Lifland, which, accordin to our information, were carried out with the knowledge of General Bonch-Bruevich, anid his nationalistic actions in Orla, his con tinuance in the postion pf general is particularly no longer desirable. Head of the Department, Agasfer. Note Across the letter is written "Send to Trotsky and Podvoisky. (Signed) N. G. Gorbunov's Initials.) Observe the mandatory nature of the whole letter and particularly of the first paragraph. Agas fer, as has been shown. Is the cipher sig nature of Major Luberts, head of the Pet rograd intelligence department of the Ger man general staff, the chief branch of the Russian division of the German geaeral staff, the head of which Is Major Ratteen, referred to In this letter as the representa tive of "our general staff." Apparently both Luberts and Rausch wrote a warning against sending any patriots to the de fending forces and seemingly the bolshe vik effort at obedience as indicated in document No. 3 was not fast enough to suit the German martinets. Podvoisky was minister of war. Gen. Parski was appointed to the command of the Petrograd district, and as late as June 14 still held the post He formerly was in command of the city of Riga, which was sur rendered to the Germans without adequate defense in the early autumn of 1917. Have original letter. (Or. General Staff, Nachrlchten Bureau, Section R, No. 272-600, Feb. 6, 1911.) Document No. 32. VERY SECRET. To the Commissar of Foreign Af fairs: I ask you to immediately give the Turkish subject, Carp C. Missi rof, a Russian passport in place of the one taken from him, which was given him in 1912 on the basis of the inclosed national passoprt. Agent C. Missirof is to be sent to the staff of the Russian high com mand, where, according to the pre vious discussion between General Hoffman and Commissars Trotsky and Joffe, he will keep watch on the activity of the head of the staff, Gen eral Bonch Bruevich, in the capacity of assistant to the Commissars Kal manovich and Feierabend. For the head of the department, R. Bauer; adjutant, Bukholra. Note Here we have the behlnd-the-scene disclosure of the real relations be tween Trotsky and General Hoffman at Brest-Litovsk, stripping the mask from the public pose. Trotsky got his orders in this case and he carried them out. Across the top of the lettep? too, be has written his own conviction, "Ask Joffe, L. T.," while Joffe, whose role seems to be that of the mouthpiece of Germany, has written in the margin, "According to agreement this must be done. A, Joffe.'' Thereby he becomes a witness for the agreement Itself that pledge between himself, Trotsky and the military chief of the German government at the Brest Litovsk conference to betray the com mander of the Russian army when he should attempt to defend Russia against Germany. A second marginal note states that the passport was given February 7, under the Russian came, P. L. Illn. Have original letter and the surrendered passport. Kalmanorlch and Feierabend were commissars of counter espionage. The Double Cross. How the bolsheviki themselves were'double crossed in the Ukraine; how the Germans toyed with their puppets to disorganize Russia, with disclosures of plans for assassination of loyal Russian leaders, are shown in the following documents and Mr. Sisson's accompanying notes: f Document No. 33. (Counterespionage at the Stavka, No. 63, Jan. 10. 1918.) To the Commrssion for Combat ing the Counter Revolution: The commissar on combating the coun ter revolution in a cipher telegam, No. 235, demanded the sending of special agents to KiefT and Novo cherkask. ' There have been sent Comrades Vlasenko, Gavrilchuk, and Korablev, who have more than once very suc cessfully performed information service. The, commissar in his cipher telegram indicates that the Gjjyman and Austrian agents as signed from Petrograd, Lieutenants Otto Kremer, Blum, and Vasilko, are playing a double role, reporting on what is happening at Petrograd, and they carry on an intensive agitation in favor of a separate peace of the Ukraine with the central powers, and for the restoring of order. Their work is having success. To Siberia have been ordered Com rades Trefilev and Shepshelevich, in connection with your report of the purchase and export of gold by Aus trian prisoners in Siberia. Director of Counterespionage Feierabend. Nntc .So stands disclosed the manner in which Germany set about to double cross the bolshevik servants who in suc cess had become at times uppish In bar gaining with their masters. It was not a part of. the German program to create In Russia a power which It could not at any t:m,; -mral. o-. if nc d be, overturn. Its plan here had the additional advan tage of not only disciplining the Petro grad bclsheviks, but also of disunlfying Russia still further. It worked out to a separate peace with Ukraine and a sep arate peace with northern Russia. Lieu tenant Otto is the Konsaln afterward ar- 4 rested for some unknown betrayal. See document No. .

Maj. yon Boehlke took part in commanding, but the conflicting orders of the official com mander Arnautoff and the talentless activity of the sc. t Tulak paralyzed the plans of our o.fi.er. The agei.ts sent by order from Te trograd to kill Generais Kaledin, Bogaevsky and Alexieff were cow ardly and nonenterprising people. Agents passed through to Karauloff. The communications of General Ka ledin with the Americans and Eng lish are beyond doubt, but they limit themselves entirely to financial as sistance. Maj. von Boehlke returned to Petrograd and will make a re port today at the office of the chair man of the council at 10 p. m. For the head of department, R. Bauer. NOTE. This is a cold-blooded disclo sure of a German-Bolshevik plan tor the assassination of Kaledin and Alexieff, as well as proof of a condition often denied by Smolny during tho winter that Ger man prisoners were being armed as Rus sian soldiers In the struggle against the Russian nationalists on the Don. Th let ter also contains the most complete list of the participants In the July conspiracy conference at Kronstndt.
