CONSUL DEMAND OF BOLSHEVIK

Documents Fail to Show the Connection of American Officials in Plots.

(By Associated Pr?as MOSCOW, May 6 Bolshevik! de mands that the American and French

consuls at Vladivostok be recalled have brought no official statement

from Ambassador Francis and French Ambassador Noulens. The definite demands made by For rign Minister Tchitcherin were coincident with the arrival of Count von Mirbach, the German ambassador. In Moscow. Regardless of the strong pressure put on the entente embassies in the last few weeks to recognize the soviet government which is mak ing full use of the Siberian incident, the position of the embassies remains unchanged. The Bolshevikl demands on Ambassador Francis were: First, the removal of John K. Caldwell, American consul at Vladivostok; second, investigation of his part in the alleged negotiations with the American legation at Peking: and third, the attitude of the American government toward the sov let republic. Francis Sends Note Ambassador Francis has sent a com munication to the Bolshevikl government regarding the alleged particlpa tlon of Americans, French and British in a Siberian counter-revolt plot in connection with which the Bolshevik put plainly the question of the recognition of their government. . The American embassy, the note

says, carefully scrutinized the docu

ments submitted by the Russian government. In the American viewpoint, the documents failed to show any connection of American officials in these plots. The American embassy, the ambassador continues, interprets the documents to show only that persons planning a counter-revolt contemplated asking the assistance of Consul Caldwell, Admiral Knight and the representatives of the allies in Peking, including the American minister, but failed to show either the consummation of the hopes of the revolutionaries in this direction, or that the Americans participated or promised aid in any way. It is deemed unfortunate in the present state of Russian International relations, that such flimsy charges should arise.
