Dawson Says y. S.
Needs Exaltation
By War Sacrifice

Washington, June 1J.-Sacrifice which
the war will bring is needed by
America to lift its people to the spir-
ituai exaltation developed in European
warning nations, Henry P. Dawson,
chairman of the Red Cross War Coun-
ell, told the Washington chapter of the
Red Cross to-day.
81 wish for no ill.," he said, "but
hope and pray that whatever may be
needed 10 arouse us to sense of sac
rifce and cleanse us from our selfish
ness will come to us"
MIR. Dawson expressed doubt IL more
than 1 per cent of Americans realize
that we are to-day not only fighting for
tic principles upon which our Republic
was founded, but for our very exist
ence."
People of England and France also
were slow to change their ideals early
in the war, he said, but now at seems
as if their affection and regard for
mankind had immeasurably increased.
They seem TO be without malice or de-
sign, envy or jealousy. without sordid
anbition--to be living on a higher and
better plane. Even with their terrible
sorrow and suffering they seem TO be
stronger and surer and more content
to meet whatever may be given them
to meet.
"The process of.fre which has thus
purified them has been for our ac-
count as well as their own. | hope you
will not think me an idealist; ! was
never more practical in my thought. It
is perhaps an appreciation Of this that
has caused me TO 60 TO the Red Cross.
For firmly believe that through the
Red Cross we can not only render ser
vice TO the people OF our allies-to
those who are to-day fighting for US
but VIC can bring forcefully to our own
people a sense both of their obligation
and OF their opportunity, and | am
optimistic enough to believe that the
men and women Of this country Will, IN
n not far distant day, rejoice in sacri-
fice-in real sacriiice-and demand that
tn, Red Cross shall carry TO the peoples
then living Of all our allies the heart
folt appreciation Of what they have
done for us. and express such apprecia-
ton by every possible aid and support
within their power 10 send

Russian Revolutionaries Unite
In Condemning Allied Notes
President Wilson's Mention Of Victory Arouses Boiling In
dgnation and His Assurances Are Msrusted-
Council Summarily Rejects Entente Messages

semi-Leninite insinuation 20 which IN
fortunately Maxim Gorky continues 20
lend his name, pours out its venom on
the Allies as it never yet has done on
the Germans.
The "Dyelo Naroda,' the organ OF
the Maximalist Social Revolutionaries,
works itself up into a fine fury Of in
vective OF which the meaning, as far
as il is discoverable. seems 20 be that
revolutionary Russia should arm IN
order to defend its pacitist position
against the Allies.
Reminiscent of Tom Sawyer
The "Rabochaya Gazeta," the organ
Of the Right, or more moderate, wing
of the Social Democrats, finds itself IN
conflict between irrefragable doctrine
and common sense, while more eXtrem-
ist papers simply cut the painter and
drift off shouting into the unknown.
The "Rabochaya Gazeta" ends by ad-
hitting that negotiations may be con-
tinued with the Allies on the basis OF
a revision of treaties. but the process
by which il reaches this conclusion re-
calls the elaborate and herculean
methods by which Tom Sawyer lib
Grated the slave who was already free
in order that his mode Of release might
be in exact accordance with the story
books.
To-day the organ of the Council OF
Workmen's and Soldiers Delegates
summary rejects the notes, and de-
clares that, the governments having
failed. it is now for the peoples to say
their word.
This is all very depressing, the more
so as the present condition OF Russia
hardly warrants that attitude Of proud
superiority which leads the council 70
dictate peace terms to the whole world
Full explanation OF this extraordinary
state of affairs would involve ar analy-
sis of the mentality Of the Russian
revolutionaries which must be post
poned for the moment. This mentality
il should be said, by the way, is not
specifically pacifst or pro-German, II
is something far more complex, and IT
seems probable that when Ramsay
Macdonald and his friends come into
contact with it they will be disabused
of certain misconceptions which they
/ have evidently formed as TO the char
acter of the Russian revolutionary or
ganiZation.
One palpable difference between the
declarations OF the Western and Ameri'
can Allies and that of the Council OF
| Workmen's and Soldiers Delegates Is
that, whereas we aim at the liberation
of oppressed peoples, the council will
persist in regarding such a programme
as an attempt 70 insist on vellec
form of annexation.

Calls on France
To Make July 4
National Holiday
Should Be an Occasion for Intel
lectual Entente, Writer
Declares

"Le Courier des Etats-Unis"
quotes ". Paul Ginsty, tcriting IN
"LIhformdtion," as follows:
The national fete Of America Is the
Fourth OF July. Let US make 1t our
own. Let us celebrate this historic
date of the Declaration OF Independence
of the United States with fraternal
hearts, associating ourselves with 1t.
But II is not enough TO merge our
colors with the starry flag, and our ac-
carnations will not appear sufficient.
We would wish that this fete be truly
communion of thought with the
American people; that we make it the
occasion of understanding and knowing
them better.
What we desire above all is an en-
tente OF all intellectual forces for lend
ing to that day all that it means, IN
order that it should not be merely a
movement OF the street, but that ~
should leave a lesson. This day should
be used in all the schools 10 tell the
children of America TO retraee the
great days OF her history and TO show
the majesty of her determination.
Above all, among those who cultivate
literature, science and the arts, the
authority of the masters should be used
to speak of America. Every company.
every society, should treat of questions
concerning il. In the theatres, accord
ing to their type, they should read or
recite from the pages Of American au-
thors. II should be q general celebra-
ton Of America.
On day when the attention OF all
will be turned toward America this will
be little, evidently, but il should ex-
cite curiosity which will result In
a solid body of information. We must
receive worthily these soldiers OF the
United States, who come TO mix their
blood with ours. They must not find US
strangers, in spite of our acclamations'

Harold Williams sends from Pet

study Of the psychic condition Of

so long as its present frame of mind
lasts. The painting, struggling world
cannot pursue the Russian pacifists in
to tn, airy, inaccessible haven of their
fancy. The reception of the latest Brit
ish, French and American notes should
dissipate all decisions.
One had thought that the British
note was clear, conciliatory and thor
oughly democratic, and in the pleasure
Of reading it one reflected on the bene-
fetal effect of the Russian revolution
in promoting democratic peace. On the
Russian government, according to state
ments of ministers, the British note
seems 10 have made good impression.
The way seemed open for hopeful and
healthy negotiation.
But now the Russian revolutionaries
seem bent on undermining the good
work of the revolution. The publica-
ton of the notes was the signal for an
outburst of pacifst chauvinism in the
greater part of the Socialist press. The
Allies were included in the condemna-
tion OF the British. The notes were
savagely analysed, and an old bour-
geois imperialistic contention was dis
covered under a new form.
Wilson Anglers Pacifists
President Wilson proved TO be the
chief offender. His careful statement of
the humane objects of the war was dis
missed as high-sounding phraseology,
and his mention of that tabooed word
victory aroused boiling indignation. But
then America is a sore point with the
Russian pacifsts. They cannot forgive
her for entering the war, and they mis-
trust all Mr.. Wilson's assurances. But
the British note gives offence because It
suggests the conquest of German and
Austrian Poland, and the French note
because it speaks of Alsace-Lorraine.
There are variations, of course, in
the criticism of the note. The
