CITES CAUSES Of WAR
AS VIEWED BY RUSSIA
Address by Minister of Foreign A.
fairs Is Summarized by
Embassy Here.

| Viewed from a Russian standpoint. a
summary of the last six months activi-
| ties and of the present political situa-
| tion was given out today at the Rus
| sian embassy in translation of the
latest speech of the Russian minister OF
foreign affairs in the duma.
This cites the causes Of the war as
Russia sees them, and contends that
the fighting was thrust upon Russia
and her allies and was but the culmlna-
ton of a diplomatic campaign.
Tribute is paid to the valianty OF Bel
gium, who by her sufferinss and great
deeds gained for herself immortal
glory" and to the sincere and enec-
tive corporation of the allies, as fol-
lows:
"Our reciprocal work in the domain
of politics and war has been broadened
in these days by new agreements OF
financial and economic character
Significance of Agreements.
The significance of these agree
ments in their bearing upon the sue
cessful accomplishment OF the difficult
tasks before US will, of course, not es-
cape your attention.
The fully apparent result thereof Is
that Russia. well as her allies. or
gained the matter of their struggle
with Germany in accordance with their
unalterable resolution to carry it to the
finish.
The welding of Russian and Serbian
interests is empha sized. also the co-opera-
ton of Montenegro in the common
Slavic cause" the consistent attitude
of Persia and Japan, and cordial rela-
lions with Greece.
Surprise is expressed that non war
ring nations have not long since seen
"A duty to eSpouSe the cause OF the al
lies. and gratitude for services rendered
is spoken for Spain, Italy and Sweden.
Troops in Persian Territory.
In defense of sending troops to Per-
STA, the statement says:
The presence of our troops in Per-
sian territory by no means involves
violation of Persian neutrality. Our
tachments were sent to that country
some years ago for the definite purpose
of establishing and maintaining order
in districts contiguous to our posses
sions, of high economic Importance to
US: also to prevent the seizure of some
of these districts by the Turks. who
openly strove to create for themselves
there especially in the district of
Urumiah. a convenient base for mill
tary operations against the Caucasus
The Persian government. not having
the actual power to maintain its neu-
trality, met the Turkish violation Of
the latter with protests. which, how
ever, had no results.
Relations With England Reciprocal.
Il must remark with pleasure that
our relations with England in the Per-
sian affair. more, than at any previous
time. rest upon a basis of full mutual
confidence and sincere reciprocity.
The political agreements which we
concluded with Japan in 1907 and 1910
have recently given an especially clear
demonstration of their value. and have
borne abundant fruit. In the present
war Japan Is on our side, and our re-
lafions are really those of allies"

PARIS, March 13-The Chamber of
Bill suppressing altogether the sale of
absinthe, which has already been pro-
hibited for the duration of the war.
After the passage of the Bill, the
question of indemnity was raised, and
the Minister of Finance declared that
the government could not recognize as
a general principle the right to indem-
MITIGATION of all persons who suffered
by the suppression of an industry, but
that, on the other hand. they did not
desire the exclusion of all compensa
ton.
The vote of the Chamber renders
perpetual the temporary prohibition
which has been in force since the be-
ginning o f the war-of the sale of alb
sinthe. France thus follows in the
| footsteps of Russia. who, through the
| mouth OF the Tsar, several months ago
| declared that the Imperial government
had decided to abolish forever the gov
eminent sale of vodka.
BY these two ordinances Europe loses

P; tional forms of alcoholic liquor. The
! French variety derived its peculiar
aroma from various species of worm
wood c'Artemisia absinthium'O. The
well known green coloring was impart-
ed by maceration with green leaves of
