Some time ago the suggestion was
taken up by the American Society of
Civil Engineers. the American Institute
of Mining Engineers, the American So
ciety of Mechanical Engineers, the
American Institute of Electrical Engf-
neers and the American Institute Of
Consulting Engineers. Each of these
organizations appointed committees to

chairman of these committees as men,
bers of a joint committee to take
charge, in cooperation with the War

Scorns Separate Peace.

LONDON, August 2S.-The Petrograd
correspondent of the Times says that
he has been authorized by Sergius
Sazonoff, Russian foreign minister, to
declare that the highest military au-
thorities in Great Britain, France and
Russia are in full accord on all ques-
tions of strategy, and that there never
has been any difference of opinion be-
tween the high commands.
The correspondent also sends state
ment credited to NJ. Sazonoff, in which
Sazonoff declares that Germany, un-
able to break the Russian army. is
now laboring to break the morale of
the Russian people by a propaganda
which has followed every Russian set
back in the past year. and since the
fall of Warsaw has been pushed with
increasing cleverness and force. both
in the Russian army and in all circles
in Petrograd.
Has Partially Succeeded.
Its main method. according to the
statement, is an attempt to convince
the Russians that their allies have left
them in the lurch. This alleged propa-
ganda has SO far succeeded, accord
ing to the statement, that some peo-
pie in Russia are pessimistic as to the
real situation, the idea being con-
veyed to them that the attack in the
west is indefinitely suspended and that
the highest authorities are planning
peace.
Sazonoff Statement.
The statement of Sazonoff, which the
correspondent says is an authorized
one. is given as follows:
"Cnwil1ingly the Russian govern
ment takes note of the malicious
rumors. Three months of continuous
efforts to break our army have been
unsuccessful and the enemy is now try
ing new kind of poison aimed
through plausible reasoning at break
ing the spirit OF the Russian people
ana the Russian army by circulating
reports of lack of harmony between
the allies, failure of our munition sup
plies and the prospect of an indie
pendent peace with Germany.
Il am astonished that any Russian
can seriously discuss such subjects.
which clearly are the enemys latest
attempts to accomplish by intrigue re-
suits which he has never yet attained
by arms"
Absolute Unanimity.
NJ. Sazonoff then is quoted as declar-
ing that there is absolute unanimity in
the high allied commands, and that
every step possible has been taken to
replenish the munitions of the Rus
sian armies.
Finally" says the statement, 81
wish forever to disabuse the public mind
of any intention whatever on the part
of the Russian government to make
any. Independent peace with Germany
as long as one hostile soldier remains
in Russia"
In conclusion the minister is quoted
as saying that 1t behooves all patriotic
Russians to avoid playing into the
hands of the Germans by listening to
NJ. Sazonoff expresses the conviction
in the statement of an ultimate victory
for the Russian arms
