Moscow, May 13 --Anti-German . menstrations were heid throughout Ru- gia Sunday. Workmen, students and governmen! emplovees paraded the streets of Moscow carrying fiaming banners the legends: ““Don’t Play With TFire, Mr. Strese mann’’, '‘The ‘liue of Brest-Litovsk Has Aleady Passcd—Down With the German Soecial Democracy,”’ and “‘Hands Off the Soviet Mission. Long Live the Revolution.”’ Groups of demonstrants marched io- ward the Cerman embassy singing revo- lutionary songs and shouting protesis against the recent German raid on (e Soviet Trade Mission in Berlin. The crowds were prevented from close ly approaching the embassy by a mount- ed detachment of troops and oirder was maintained. While these events were proceediing a number of the leading Soviet officials gathered 1n front of the Foreign Office for the unveiling of the monument o Vaslav Vorovsky, Soviet envoy assassi- nated in Switzerland. The demonstraiions were taken as evi dence that Russia was growing stronger. Karl Radek, speaking for the govern ment, made it clear that russia did noi intend to serve an ultimatum on Ger- many in consequence of the Berlin raid. as Germany was not considered a ser:- ous adversary, and it was believed th« Berlin government would soon be hrougii to realize by its own people the import ance of friendiy relations with iis near- est powerful uneighbor.— Boston Amer:- can, May 13th.
