states-Wiil Be Great Influence
In Strengthening the New
Republic.

Washington.-The American mis-
sion to Russia, headed by Elihu Root,
arrived at a Russian port early Mon
day. Announcement of the safe pas
sage Of the commission was made by
Secretary of the Navy Daniels after
receiving dispatch from the com
mander of the vessel on which the
journey was made.
Former Senator Root and his col
leagues proceeded direct to Petro
grad Their arrival at the Russian
capital comes just at time when the
new government is hemmed in on all
sides by disorganization, royalist plots,
radical uprisings and lack of power to
meet the menacing situation which
threatens either to force Russia into z
separate peace or at the best remove
her from consideration as a bellig
erent.
Mr.. Root bears plenipotentiary pow
ers to act for the United States. Timed
to coincide with his arrival, message
from the state department outlining
the war aims of the United States was
cabled to the de facto government OF
Russis. =
This cement was drafted by Pres
ident Ns1.s,1. He wrote it himself
picking It out with two fingers on the
old typewriter which has been the me
dunn of so much of Americas diplo
matte correspondence In the last two
years.
The statement sets forth clearly
what the United States is fighting for
and how far It Will go. The statement
Is addressed to Russia for two mair
reasons-to brace the republican gov
ernment Of that country by assurance
Of the aid of the great sister republic
across the seas and to convey to the
liberals of Russia the knowledge thai
America is fighting for the same ideals
which they demand as part Of any
peace treaty,

BY TRUSTEES AND FACULTY
OF UNIVERSITY.
many Students Are Enrolled for Sum-
mer Term and Others Are Arriving
On Every Train-SpeciaI Rates of
Board Granted.

University City.-In spite of the
high cost of living, which has grown
more serious during the school year
just ended, the boarding departments
of the University of Mississippi have
been operated during the current year
at remarkably low cost to the stu.
dents. According to figures just COM
puted in the chancellor's office, board
has been this year as follows: Stu
dents cooperative boarding club, av-
erage per month, S11.20; Kicks Hall
for women, average per month. s11.64;
Gordon Hall boarding club, average
per month, s13.03.
When the quality of food and serv.
ice is considered, the above figures
are a remarkable showing, and indi-
cate that the university is in earnest
about keeping expenses down during
war times, and while the high cost of
living is upon us. All the dining halls
will be modified another year. to
keep expenses down to the minimum,
and yet supply food of sufficient quail
ity and quantity to meet physical and
mental needs.
During the summer school and sum-
mer normal. which opened Monday.
June 4, and for which great prepara-
tions were made, board with excellent
table fare is provided at Gordon Hall
at the rate of $24 for the full term, or
at the rate of S. by the week. In
boarding houses near the campus and
in the town of Oxford, accommodation
may be had at rate ranging from
S6 to So per week.

Adjutant's OFFICE is Rushed.

War has placed its burden of clerical
work on one office at the Mississippi
capitol. The duties at the office of
Adjutant General Scales have become
SO heavy that he added a new stenog
rapher, Mrs. George A. Meadows, to
his force. Mrs. Ruth Torgerson has
served as an efficient stenographer in
this office for some time and is being
assisted by Mrs. Meadows.
Much of the detai work for regis
tration for selective draft was handled
through this office. In addition to
this, the work of raising a regiment Of
artillery, a regiment of infantry, a
squadron of cavalry and a few sepa-
rate companies has multiplied the du-
ties of the office.
The government has already de-
tailed under Major H. F. Applewhite, a
native Mississippian, for duty at the
state headquarters. Only a short time
ago, Capt. Richard Pickering, who has
done inspection duty for the United
States army in Mississippi previously.
was ordered back to duty for the gov
ernment here.
Major Charles r. Dalby, chief quar-
termaster of the Mississippi National
Guard, and Capt. ]. r. Hairston, of

opinions OF these citizens must be

but in the War Department the opin-
ion Is held that sixteen and perhaps
twenty temporary brigadiers will be
named to command the brigades. The
organization Of these units have not
yet been undertaken.
The military authorities will shortly
give consideration to the proposal for

10 those officers and enlisted men who
serve in the American expeditionary
force in France. This is in the line
of the policy of the War Department
in providing similar decorations in

War Department, on the recommends
ton of the adjutant general of the
army, to be worn by American OFF,
GERS and soldiers who are wounded

more than once on the same day he
