BOLSHEVIKI TO SEEK ALLIANCE WITH GERMANY . Sept. 1.—(By sent from Kol- an Poland, on August 14 tell- in gof the alleged plans of Russian-So- to seek an alliance with igrmany tq make war on France, and of the bolshevist hope ultimately to make a conquest of England and even the Unit- s was based *chiefly on_ con- Russian army officials. The correspondent also presented the views expressed by a former German of ficcr who was attached to the head- quarters of the Twelfth army at Os- tralenka and of a Russian who acted as an’ intermediary between communists of Russia and Germany. The conversations took place at the height of Russian suc- cesses in the campaign against Warsaw and were intended to present the mili tary programme in Russia as boasted officers of the army and said to be f: vored secretly by a sirong army ele- ment in Germany. The impressions of the correspondent | were strengthened by statements made of af by. three. German rewspapermen with whom he talked at Allenstein and Jo- hannisburg upon their return from a tour of the army front in Russia as the guests of the Russian high command. These men, who had exceptional opportunities to learn of the sentiment in Russia, de- clared bolshevist officers made no secret of the fact that such an alliance was be- ved by the army to be a part of the plans of the Soviet government. The correspondent’s reply to a cabled request for further detail§ concerning the dispatch from Kolno, shows that it was errenous to attribute the statements made toofficials of the bolshevist regime. The authority for the report that such an al- liance beiween Russia and Germany -Was contemplated should have been given as contained in the explanation sent from Graudenz.
