nation announcing officially that an
agreement concluded by Russia.
France and Great Britain in 1915 and
later approved by Italy Established in
definite the right of Russia
to the straits and Constantinople. The
premier's announcement is quoted by
the news agency as follows:
For more than 1000 years Russia
has been raching southwark toward
a free outlet on the open sea. This
age-long dream, cherished in the
hearts Of the Russian people, now is
ready for realization .
From the beginning of the war,
wishing to spare human lives and suf-
fering, we and u allies did our ut
most to restrain Turkey from mad
participation in hOstilities. Turkey
received formal assurances guaran-
teeing her, in exchange for neutrality
the Integrity of her territory and in
dependence, and also comforting on
her convention privileges and advan-
Itages. These efforts were vain. Tur-
tkey surreptitiously attacked us and
fthus sealed her own doom.
w then concluded an agreement
with our allies which establishes in
the most definite the right of
Russia to the straits and CONSTANT
hople. Russians should know for
what they are shedding blood and, in
accordance with Our allies, announce
Fment Of this agreement is made today

Russia will grant freedom of naviga-
1ti6n for the Roumanian flag, which
tnow not for tie first time floats in
fbatfle side by side with the flag of
Russia.
En,fHnthought it my duty not to con
ffcaal from you the difficulties and sac
ffffices which we have still to endure
IN order to bring the present war to
fa victorious conclusion but no difficult

f&nd her brave allies on the path of

Remember that, however cruel the
enemy blows may be, the final victory
is ours. 1t is surely approaching us.
