Arrests in France Reveal Red
Spy Svstem in Arsenal Towns
PARIS, May 4 (By The Associated
I Press).. Claiming to have discovered
the existence of a highly developed
espionage system organized by Com
munists in France for the benefit of
the Russian Soviet government, the
French po?ce to-day made three arrests
in connection with the alleged plot
and promised many others within a few
' days.
The espionage scheme, they declare,
involves 200 operatives and has rami?
fication in Brest. Lorient, Toulon and
' also at powder factories in the center
of France and arsenals in the vicinity
of Paris.
Secret documents have bfen stolen
: from ?)# Brest arsenal, according |?
the police revelation, and from the
largest powder factory in the center
of France, and they claim to have proof
that regular couriers have plied be?
tween espionage centers in France and
Berlin, where documents were, assem?
bled, classified and forwarded to Mos?
cow. Intensive Bolshevik propaganda,
the police assert, also has been car?
ried on as a sitie line.
One of the men arrested is the Com
munist municipal councillor of Ivry
sur-Seine, just outside of Paris, which
is the site of one of the largest arse?
nals in France. The police headquar?
ters here issued an official communique
saying the police had "discovered an
extremely important affair interesting
to the national defence."

R:i (nb'.r to V-.r Tribuna
i'npyrlghi, tff'2 New Vork Tribune Inc
PARIS, May 1 The Allied Repar
tion Commission notified the Germi
government to-day that there was not
inc in the Russo-German agreemer
signed at Rapallo, that, seemed to vi
late the terms o? the Treatj of Ve
sai lies and. therefore, required no i
tervention by the commission. Tl
commission made it plain, howevc
that if the provisions of the treat
when put into effect, jeopardized tl
interests of any of the Allies Germai
might be called upon by the Entente
nullify the treaty or any par) of it.
When word had been received t
Premier Poineare that this note hi
leen sent, he called the French Cab
t et into session to discuss measuri
for annulling the Russo-German treat
It is expected that the ambassador
council will be appealed to.
After a long discussion of the Geni
situation, in which the Cabinet d
voted principal consideration to tl
proposed non-aggression pact fi
Europe, it was decided that Fran?
would adhere to the agreement wit
certain reservations which Louis Ba
thou, chief of the Paris delegation i
Genoa, was instructed to communicat
to the conference on his return ther
lie will leave Paris for Genoa to-mo
row.
Reserves Rights in Rule
The gist of the French reservatior
to the non-aggression pact was th;
as long as it interfered in no wa
with the rights granted to Franc
under the Treaty of Versailles th
Paris government would support it. I
whs made plain that France was d?
termined to reserve her right to ii
vade the Ruhr valley and to appl
other penalties to Germany :n rase c
a default in payment of the reparation
account.
The Cabinet was agreed that France'
position at the conference as airead
outlined must hi' maintained. Bartho
was instructed to attempt to indue
Lloyd George to accept the Frene
point of view. it was generally he
licved that he would succeed.
It was pointed out at the Cabine
meeting 'bat Lloyd George tins changei
his position sine- his declaration ii
the British House of Commons tha
he would insist that Russia return al
private property to '.he original owners
It was argued, therefore, tn.it Barthot
should he able to ho'd him to his orig
inal attitude, which the French and Be!
gians maintain in their refusal to sigi
the Allied note to Russia. Thi' Frenrl
view is that Lloyd George's presen
position is indefensible and that he wil
be forced to come back to h i s origina
insistence on private property rights
Confer With Theuni?
PARIS, May 4 (By The Associate,
Press I. Premier Poineare and M. Bar
thou already are engaged in negotia
turns with Premier Theunis as to th?
future altitude of the French and Bel
gian delegations at Genoa on Russiai
affairs and an effort is being made t<
find a text for a reservation to th?
memorandum to Russia which the con
fere nee is likely to accept and tha'
at the same time will satisfy the Bel
gians. The Infer are understood her?
to fear strongly that concessions foi
property in Russia originally owned b\
Belgium and now nationalized by Rus
sin, will be traded with by the Soviet
representatives, and that possibly th<
concessions will be granted other par
ties.
Unt.il some way is found to satisfy
the Belgian delegation the French wil1
refuse to sign the memorandum tr
Russia. This means that France will
hold aloof from the conference ,on Rus?
sian affairs unless 'he sub-committee
which framed the memorandum decides
to withdraw it.
In a long note communicated to the
German government to-night the Repa?
rations Commission fails to find any
immedaite violation of the Treaty of
Versailles in the provisions of the
Russo-German Rapallo treaty, hut re?
serves to itself the right to examine
closely the application of the treaty
and take any action necessary to pro
ti'ct the Allied lien on all German re?
sources.
The decision was sent to all the
Allied governments and a copy was
telegraphed to thi- British Prime Min?
ister at Genoa.
The commission asks Germany to
confirm in unmistakable language the
assumption of the commission that
Germany has no intention of renounc?
ing rights which have been or should

Explicit assurances from Germany
arc requested also that the Rapallo
(treaty contemplates no new charges
against the German hudpet in connec?
tion with compensation for its na?
tionals or for the reconstruction of
, Russia. Germany is asked further to
; make clear that the German property
in Russia given up by the provision?
of the Rapallo treaty is privately
owned find not state property.
The note concludes with the follow?
ing qualification of the commission's
decision: "It must be understood that
the commission has confined its ob?
servations to practical questions which
fall within its own immediate province
It is not within the func'ion of the
commission to deal either ^ith spect'.ic
questions affecting the provisions ef

general questions arising either out :if
the actual terms of the Treaty of

Leader Says Final Chapter

Is ?Near Unless Help Comes
CONSTANTINOPLE, May 4 I By The
Associated Press). Four American re
lief workers llave arrived here after
having been deported from Kharput,
Turkish Armenia, fifty miles north?
west of Diarbckr. They are F. B.
Yowelt, of Washington, director of the
Kharput unit. Dr. Mark L. Ward, of
Newton Center, Mass., chief surgeon;
Dr, Ruth Parmaleo, of Boston, modi
ral director, and Mis* Isabel Harley,
of Pawtucket, R. I.
Mr. Yowell in a statement issued
to day charges the Turks with unjust
and unfriendly treatment of Amen
cans and cruelties and outrages against
Christians in Asia Minor. His state
met follows:
"The American deportations were the
culmination of a long series of un?
friendly acts. They are the prelude to
fresh Turkish outrages against Christ
ianss in Amo Minor. Tiie Turks, en?
couraged by the vaccilations of the
Allies during the post Armistice per
iod, are getting bolder m their intol?
erance against the minorities. I'nless
outside Interference is forthcoming,
the final chapter m the history of
Christmas will shortly be completed.
No Reason Given for Arrest
"I had been director at Kharput.
since October. 1 was arrested March
5 for reasons unknown and d?porter)
from the country. I was preceded by
three assistants, who were notified tha/
unless they left the country voluntarily
they would be forcibly deported.
"All the twenty Americans in Khar?
put have been treated by the Turkish
officials with the utmost discoutesy and
injustice, notwithstanding their work
has been extended to the Noslems. Pn
tiests were admitted to the hospitals
if the Turks wanted them adnntti I.
Nany Christian refugees, terribly ill,
were turned away to lie outside the
pates. The base hospital was closed
by the military without explanation.
"The Armenians in this district are
in a state of virtual slavery. They
?ire not permitted to travel within the
country, and I have had to return $75,
000 to people in America who for?
warded it to pay the traveling ex
penses of relatives desiring to leave
the country. All the property of Ar?
menians, victims of deportations, is
confiscated by the Turks.
Denied Use of Courts
"The Armenians are denied the use,
of the courts. A recent law prevents I
Christians from inheriting property,,
except from father or brother. Other i
properties po to the government.
"Christians are thrown into jail
with t'ie purpose of extorting ransom
from relatives. Christian women are
forced into harems without, the right
of appeal to any tribunal.
"The Turkish officials for six months
have had no Salaries. They say that
the only way to obtain money consists
of blackmailing Christians.
"The conditions of the Creeks is
worse than that of the Armenians. The,
sufferings of the Greeks deoorted from ?
the districts behinil the battle front
continues. Of 30,000 who left Sivas
5,000 died before reaching Kharput. i
One American worker saw 1,500 dead
on the road to Kb: rput. Two thousand]
died in Kharput during the winter and j
3,000 died on the roads east of Khar-i
put."

(Ionlest in Senate
On Confirmation of
Goldstein Forecast
Spencer's Nomination Held
Up Pending Reed's Views
on Missourian Who Took
Check in Lowden Campaign
From The Tribune'* Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May t. The Senate
Finance Committee a* a meeting to day
took up the nom ?nation of Nal Gold?
stein to he collector of internal reve?
nue for the St. Louis district, officially
known as the 1st District of Missouri.
The committee in all probability will
report the nomination favorably, but
there will be a contest over it. when it
reaches the Senate.
Senator Spencer. Republican, of Mis?
souri, who sponsored the nomination
of Goldstein, and who strongly com?
mend; him, is desirous of having him
confirmed as speedily as possible. At
to-day's meeting, which was attended
by the Republican members, it had
been aboul decided to make a favor?
able report, when Senator McCumber,
the chairman, called attention to the
fact that under the usual practice the
colleague of Senator Spencer should be
consulted and asked if he had objec?
tions. It was therefore decided to as?
certain the views of Senator Reed, who
is in Missouri.
Whether Senator Reed will fight the
confirmation of Goldstein is not dis?
closed here. It is generally assumed
he will do so. He is a number of the
Finance Committee.
Senator La Follette, one of the Repub?
lican members of the committee, indi?
cated that he desired opportunity lo
look into the qualifications of Goldstein
for the office. He is expected to oppose
confirm?t ion.
Goldstein is one nr the two men who
received a cheek for $2,500 from Jacob
Raider, national committeeman of Mis
SOUri, hi ''ore delegates were eh.os.en to
the Republican convention at Chicago,
It was the understanding that il was
Lowden campaign money. Goldstein
testified he did rot, use It, and that he
? intended to turn it over the Lowden
organization if Lowden should be nom?
inated, and hand it hack if the Illinois
man was defeated.
The matter became prominent in the
days of the Chicago convention and in
the investigation by a Senate commit?
tee.
Senator Spencer feels that Goldstein
was done an injustice in the affair
and commands him us a high type of
citizen and one fully qualified for the
ofhco to which he has been appointed.
However, there is no doubt that Demo?
cratic Senators will assail confirmation,
and they may be joined by fome of the
Republicans.

Mr. Borah asserted, in the course of
his address, that the S?cr?tai
Labor war becoming very
under the long sojourn of Semei
this country and 'intimated thai arlj
steps for his deportation would
taken by that official.
Taking up first the Cy<~<^ of Sen
Senator Borah declared that he had
been characterized by American arm;,
officers as "a brute, a murderer, at d
one who attacked without ai caus<
American soldiers, resulting ii the
death o? two and the woul
others." He said all these facts "were
well known to the State Departm?
when he was admitted to thi: country."
He told stories or the "sla
yard" near the Manchurian border in .
Semenoff's territory, where he :
prisoners, said to be unoffending old
men and women m may cas? . taken 1
without arms, were slaughtered, as al?
iened, by machine guns and ; - ! odie
pushed into holes
Senator McCumber, of North Dakota,
wanted to know if there was any rea?
son or explanation for these heeds; if
it was just "blood thirstiness."
"Total Depravity" Charged
Senator Borah ascribi d thi m 'o ;
"tota!, unmitigated, indescribable de?
pravity." He said Semenoff evid? i I
was trying t'1 create a "reign of terror"
in Eastern, Siberia and hoped to rule
there.
Describing the "slaughter yard." Sen?
ator Borah said that men and won ei
itad been murdered there by wholc-n!?1
and, "like whipped dumb beasts, were
shot down and pushed Into holes,"
Quoting from Charles H. Smith.
American representative on the Inter
Allied Railway Commission in Siberia,
Senator Borah read a statement to the
effect that "Siberia itself was not Bol?
shevik or Communist, and it never had
been."
Senator Borah then took up Cue
Bakhmeteff case, told of the subpoena
against him by the Education, and
Labor Committee, and of the ruling of j
the State Department that he was en
titled to diplomatic immunity.
Bakhemeteff. be said, had been sent
here in 1917 by the Miliukoff govern?
ment as special commissioner, but be- ;
fore he reached here Kerensky took
control.
After some delay Bakhmeteff was
ordered to proceed to Washington and
represent, the Kerensky governn
and was finally recognized by this
government July a, ifUT.
Senator Lodge raised the -,.?. ? p.
whether lie ever had any credentials.
"1 am informed.'' said Senator Borah.
"that be never did present credentials
until August 25, when a question arose
in the mind of Mr. McAdoo if be was
not paying a lot of money to a man
who ought not to have it."
"My opinion is there isn't to-day in
the State Department." continued Sen?
ator Borah, "any credentials in proper
form. All the evidence is that he con?
tinues to do business or the strength
of a cablegram from the Kerensky gov?
ernment ."
