United States Feels Only
Sympathy for Russia and

{ the interallied council, who held their
first session yesterday.
Needs Sympathy Now
Representative of all the nations
are thinking about Russia at the pres
ent time above everything else.
Colonel House and his associates are
deyoting themselves to the task of
maintaining allied sympathy toward
the revolution.
Talk Of "traitor" must cease in diJ.
cussing Russia, the American delegates
have pointedly impressed upon repre-
sentatives of other nations.
1t is vital to the allies that Russia
recover her fighting power
But the members of the American
mission believe that while the Slay
are recovering their strength, the rev.
olution must be saved by sympathetic
aid to Russia in regulating her intern.
al affairs and saving her from German
intrigue.
A more sympathetic understanding
of Russian conditions and the ambi-
tions of her people is the first essential
in the opinion of the American dele
gates, it was learned today.
Premier Lloyd George pointed out in
his Paris speech how Serbia and Ru-
mania had slipped through the hands
of the allies through lack of sympa.
thetic action from the entente powers.
America is insisting that Aussia not
be permitted to go the same way.
