Russia Comes to Aid of England and France by
 Sending Troops to West
tContinued from Page one)

\COntluue0 rom rage One) leave their country to come and fight at our sides.
 Tn the name of the French army, I, with the other officers, under officers and soldiers of Russia, who have de- parked in France, I bow before the Rus sian flags upon which there will soon be inscribed the glorious names of our victores.
 No exact details are yet available re- garding the number of Russian troops brought in. They will be used to fill the gaps on the western front caused by the recent fighting.
 The arrival and welcome of these sol diers has made profound impression in France, which is deeply moved by this manifestation of Russias good Will in the substantial form of fighting men. Their arrival Is regarded here as an event of great importance and of sig nificance from both a military and polit- ical standpoint. 1t represents realiza- tion of hopes aroused early in the war by reports that large bodies of Russians were coming.
 The Russians came on a great flotiIla of transports. Not single word of their coming was permitted to become gen. erally known until they actually had con- cluded the journey and were landing on French soil.
