RUSSIA IN war TO END
ROOT DELIVERS STIRRING MES
SAGE TO oFFIciALs.
Two Nations, Hand-in-Hand, to Fight
Against Kaiser for Liberty and
Happiness Of the World.

Petrograd, June 1S.-A stirring proc
lamation placing the Council Of Work
men and Soldiers delegates on record
as irrevocably opposed to separate
peace was adopted by the council.
The proclamation was prompted by
Austrian efforts to lure Russia into q
separate peace.
Petrograd.-"The Russian people
consider war inevitable and will con-
tinue it. The Russians have no i'm
perialistic wishes. We know that you
have none. We shall fight together
to secure liberty. freedom and happi-
ness for all the world. l am happy
to say that do not see any moral idea
Or factor between America and Rus
sia to divide US. We two peoples
Russia fighting tyranny and America
standing as the Oldest democracy
happiness to nations great and small"
These ringing words, expressing the
attitude Of the Russian government
toward America and the American
mission headed by Elihu Root, were
voiced by M. Tereschtenko. minister
Of foreign affairs, responding for the
Council Of Ministers to Mr. Roots ad-
dress of sympathy and good will on
the part of the American government.
The American ambassador, David
r. Francis, presented the Root mis-
sion to the ministers in Marinsky pal
ace, explaining that the members of
the mission had come to Russia to
discover how America can best CO.
operate with its ally in forwarding the
fight against the common enemy.
The ministers listened with rapt
attention to Mr.. Roots address, which
was an impressive utterance both in
substance and manner.
M. Tereschtenko rose from q sick
bed to attend the presentation. He
said that Russia's revolution was
based on the wonderful words uttered
by America in 1776. He read part OF
the declaration OF independence and
exclaimed: Russia holds with the
United States that all men are Great.
ed free and equal"
M. Tereschtenko sketched the his.
tory of the Russian revolution briefly,
saying that the Russians, enslaved for
centuries, threw off all the old order
just as the wind blows autumn leaves
from the forest.
Russia now faces two problems, said
the minister, the necessity of creating
a strong democratic force within its
boundaries and the fighting of an ex
ternal foe. Then he declared for wal
and expressed unbounded confidence
in the power of Russia to meet the
situation.
Petrograd.-The Duma, in secret
session, passed a resolution for an
immediate offensive by the Russian
troops. The resolution declares a sep
arate peace with Germany or pro
longed inactivity on the battle front
to be ignoble treason toward Russia &
allies. The first act of the pan-Rus
sian congress of all councils Of work
mems and soldiers delegates, upon
which depends that immediate destiny
of Russia in regard to both interna
tional and domestic questions, was to
ratify the expulsion of the provisional
government of the Swiss Socialist
Robert Grimm, who is reported tC
have been the medium through which
the Germans attempted to arrange 8
separate peace with Russia.
