MILLIONS PAID TO RUSSIANS BY HUNLEADERS (U. S. Documents Show Bol- . sKevik Heads Turned Country Over to Teutons.

WASHINGTON. Sept 16. The part played by the German Imperial Bank in financing the Russian Bolshevik movement, the care taken by the German military authorities to prevent spread among their own people of the socialistic preaching of their Russian tools and the plans laid for German control of Russia economically and financially during and after the war feature the disclosures in the second installment of the sensational series of seccet documents which the American government Is making public. Copies of the documents given out tonight carry the file numbers of the Reichbank or of the German general staff, and In some instances notations by Lenlne or Trotsky, the Bolshevik leaders, now shown to have been in the pay of Germany since long before they overthrew Russia's new democratic government and virtually turned the country over to the Teutqps. There are illuminating explanatory notes by Edgar Sisson of the committee on public Information, who directed the Investigation, which resulted In the disclosures. One of the Reichbank memoranda, dated last January, announces to the commissar of foreign affairs (Lenlne) that 60,800,000 rubles of gold has been placed to the credit at Stockholm of of the representatives of the commissars to cover the coBt of Red Guards and agitators.

"The AustroHungarian government is aware that after the deep-reaching convulsions which have been caused in the life of the peoples by the devastating effects of the world war it will not be possible to re-establish order in the tottering world at a single stroke. For "All the Peoples." "The path that leads to the restoration of peaceful relations between the people is cut by hatred and embitterment. It is toilsome and wearisome, yet it is our duty to tread this path the path of negotiations and if there are still such responsible factors as desire to overcome the opponent by military means and to force the will of victory upon him, there can, nevertheless, no longer be doubt that this aim, even assuming that it is attainable, would first necessitate a further sanguinary and protracted struggle. "But even a later victorious peace will no longer be able to make good the consequences of such a policy consequences which will be fatal to all the states and peoples of Europe. The only peace which could righteously adjust the still divergent conceptions of the opponents would be a peace desired by all the peoples. Sees Hope . In Parley. "With this consciousness, and in Its unswerving endeavor to work in the Interest of Peace, the Austro-Hun-garlan government now again comes forward with a suggestion that the object of bringing about a direct discussion between the enemy powers. "The earnest will to peace of wide classes of the population of all the states who are Jointly suffering through the war the indisputable reapproachment In individual controversial questions as well as the more concllliatory atmosphere that is general, seems to the Austro-Hungarian government to give a certain guarantee that a fresh step in the interests of peace, which also takes accounts of past experiences in this domain, might at the present moment offer the possibility of success. Asks Pope to Take Hand. "The Austro-Hungarian government has, therefore, resolved to point out to all the belligerents, friend and foe, a path considered practicable by it to propose to them Jointly to examine in a free exchange of views whether those prerequisites exist which would make the speedy inauguration of peace negotiations appear promising. "To this end the Austro-Hungarian government has today invited the governments of all the belligerent states to a confidential and unbinding discussion at a neutral meeting place, and has addressed to them a note drawn up In this sense.

''This step has been brought to the knowledge of the holy see In a special note, and an appeal thereby made to the pope's interest In peace. Furthermore, the governments of the neutral states have been acquainted with the step taken. t . "The constant close accord which exists between the four allied powers warrants the assumption that the allies of Austria-Hungary, to whom the proposal Is being sent in the same manner, share the views developed in the note." The official telegram proceeds to say that the note has been drawn up in French and runs as follows: ''The peace offer which the powers of the quadruple alliance addressed to their opponents on Dec. 12, 1916, and the conciliatory basic ideas of which they have never given up, signifies despite the rejection which it experienced an important stage in the history of this war. In contrast to the first two and a half years, the question of peace has from that moment been the center of European eye, of world discussion, and dominates it in ever-increasing measure. "Almost all the belligerent states have In turn again and again expressed themselves on the question of peace, its prerequisites and conditions. The line of development of this discussion, however, has not been uniform and steady. The basic standpoint changed finder the influence of the military and political position, and hitherto, at any rate, it has not led to a tangible general result that could be utilized. Believes Views Are Changed. "It is true that, independent of all these conciliations, it can be stated that the distance between the conceptions of the two sides has grown somewhat less; that despite the indisputable continuance of decided and hitherto unbridged differences, a partial turning from many of the most extreme concrete war aims is visible and a certain agreement upon the relative general basic principles of a world peace. In both camps there is observable in wide classes of the population a growth of the will to peace and understanding. Moreover, a comparison of the reception of the peace proposal of the powers of the quadruple alliance on the part of their opponents with the later utterances of responsible statesmen of the latter as

well as of the nonresponsible but, in a political respect, nowise uninfluential personalities, con-firms this impression. "While, for example, the reply of the allies to President Wilson made demands which amounted to the dismemberment of Austria-Hungary, to a dimlnuation and a deep internal transformation of the German empire, and the destruction of Turkish European ownership, these demands, the realization of which was based on the supposition of an overwhelming victory, were later modified in many declarations from official entente quarters, or in part were dropped. Recalls Balfour's Words. . "Thus, in a declaration made in the British house of commons a year ago. Secretary Balfour expressly recognized j that Austria-Hungary must itself solve it international problem. Premier Lloyd George declared at the beginning of this year that it was not one of the allies' war aims to partition Austria-Hungary, to rob the Ottoman empire of its Turkish provinces, or to reform Germany internally. It may also be considered symptomatic that In December, 1917, Mr. Balfour categorisally repudiated the assumption that British policy had ever engaged for the creation of independent states out of 'the territories on the left bank of j the Rhine. "The central powers leave it In no doubt that they are only waging a war of defense for the integrity and the security of their territories. "Far more outspoken than in the domain of concrete war aims has the ! rapproachment of conceptions proceeding regarding those questioning line upon basis of which peace shall be concluded and the future order of Europe and the world built up. In this direction President Wilson in his speeches of Feb. 12 and July 4 of this year has formulated principles which have not encountered contradiction on the part of his allies and the farreaching application of which is likely to meet with no objection on the part of the powers of the quadruple alliance also, presupposing that this application is general and reconcilable with the vital interests of the states concerned. Basic Aims not Enough. "It is true, is must be remembered, that an agreement on general principles is Insufficient, but that there remains the further matter of reaching an accord upon their interpretation and their application to individual concrete war and peace questions. " "To an unprejudiced observer there can be no doubt that in all the belligerent states, without exception, the desire for a peace of understanding has been enormously strengthened; that the continuance in increasingly spread, ing; and that the further continuance of the bloody struggle must transform Europe into ruins and into a state of exhaustion that will mar its development for decades to come and this without any guarantee of thereby old-time confidence and energy In lesa than two weeks.

bringing about that decision by arms 'which has been vainly striven after by both sides in four years filled with enormous sacrifices, sufferings and exertions. "In what manner, however, can the way be paved for an understanding and an understanding finally attained? Is there any serious prospect whatever of reaching this aim by continuing the discussion of peace problems In the. way hitherto followed? ' Answers in . Negative. "We have not the courage to answer the latter question in the affirmative. The discussion from one public tribute to another as has hitherto taken place between statesmen of the various countries was really only a series of monologues. It lacked, above everything, directness. Speech and counter speech did not fit into each other. The speakers spoke over one another's heads. "On the other hand was the publicity and the ground of these discussions, which robbed them of the possibility of fruitful progress. In all public statements of this nature, a form of eloquence Is used which reckons with the effect at great distances and on the masses. Consciously or unconsciously, however, one thereby increases the distance of the opponent's conception, produces misunderstandings which take root and are not removed, and makes the frank exchange of ideas more difficult. Every pronouncement of leading statesmen is, directly after its delivery, and before the authoritative quarters of the opposite side can reply to it, made the subject qf passionate or exaggerated discussion by irresponsible elements. "But anxiety lest they should endanger the interests of their arms by unfavorablely influencing feeling at home lest they prematurely betray their own ultimate intentions, also causes the responsible statesmen themselves to strike a higher tone, and stubbornly to adhere to extreme standpoints. Favors Another Method. ' "If, therefore, an attempt s made to see whether the basis exists for an understanding calculated to deliver Europe from the catastrophe of the suicidal continuation of the struggle, then In any case, another method should be chosen which renders possible a direct, verbal discussion between the representatives of the governments,

Here's a Richmond case: Mrs. Jane Cooper, 916 North Twelfth street, gave the following statement in September, 1915: "I have used Doan's Kidney Pills off and on for years and have never found another medicine that has done me so much good. My back has always given .me the most trouble; it would ache and be stiff and sore. My kidneys acted irregularly and I had dizzy spells and headaches. Every time I have had those spells I have used Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at Quigley's Drug Store, and they have never failed to relieve me. There is nothing better for the kidneys." On November 22, 1917 Mrs. Cooper said: "Occasional use of Doan's Kidney Pills keeps my kidneys in good shape. I know there is nothing better for kidney complaint." 60c, at all dealers.

accord can be sought with a prospect i of success. As soon as an agreement was reached on the fundamental principles an attempt would have to be made in the course of the discussions concretely to apply them to individual peace questions and thereby bring about their solution. "We venture to hope that there will be no objection on the part of any belligerents to such an exchange of views. The war activities would experience no interruption. The discussions, too. would only go so far as was considered by the participants to offer a prospect of success. No disadvantages would arise therefrom for the states represented. Far from harming, such an exchange of views could only be useful to the cause of peace. Might Remove Mountains. "What did not succeed the first time can be repeated and perhaps it has already at least contributed to the views. Mountains of old misunderstandings might be removed and many new things perceived. Streams of pent-up human kindness would be released, in the warmth of which every-; thing essential would remain and, on j the other hand, much that is antagonisiic, io wnicn excessive luiporiaiite its still attributed, would disappear. "According to our conviction, all the belligerents jointly owe to humanity to examine whether now, after so many years of costly but undecided struggle, the entire course of which points to an understanding, it is possible to make an end to the terrible grapple.
