sal satisfaction and joy. From all
the land sympathy and hope went
out to the new sister in the circle of
democracies. And the mission is sent
to express that feeling.
The American democracy sends
to the democracy of Russia a greet
ing of sympathy, friendship, broth
erhood, godspeed. Distant America
knows little of the special conditions
of Russian life which must give form
to the Government and laws which
YOU are about to create. AS we have
developed our institutions to serve
the needs of our national character
and life, so we assume thaqyou will
develop your institutions to serve the
needs of Russian character and life.
''As we look across the sea we dis
tinguish no party, no class. We see
great Russia as whole, as one
mighty, striving, aspiring democracy
We know the self-control, essential
kindliness. strong common sense,
courage and noble idealism of the
Russian character.
Faith in Outcome
I'VE have faith in you all. We pray
for Gods blessing upon you all. We
believe YOU will solve your problems,
that you will maintain your liberty,
and that our two great nations will

progress of democracy until the or
der everywhere has passed away and
the world is free.
One Danger Threatens Both
"One fearful danger threatens the
liberty of both nations. The armed
forces of military autocracy are at
the gates of Russia and the Allies.
The triumph of German arms will
mean the death of liberty in Russia.
&c J. FNf A ii ion
but America has come to realize that
the triumph of German arms means
the death of liberty in the world;
that we who love liberty and would
keep it must fight for it, and fight
for II now when the free democracies
of the world may be strong in union,
and not delay until they may be
beaten down separately in success
sion.
Common Foe
80 America sends another mes
sage to Russia-that we are going
to fight, and have already begun to
fight, for your freedom equally with
our own. and we ask YOU to fight for
our freedom equally with yours. We
would make your cause Nours and
our cause yours, and with a common
purpose and mutual helpfulness of
a firm alliance make sure of victory
over our common foe.
You will recognize your own SEN
timents and purposes in the words
of President Wilson to the American
Congress when, on the second of
April last, he advised a declaration
of war against Germany. He said:
I'VE are accepting this challenge
of hostile purpose because we known
that in such n Government (the Ger
man GovernmenD, following such
methods, we can never have a friend,
and that in the presence of its or
ganized power, always lying in wait
to accomplish we know not what
purpose. there can be no assured Sc
curity for the democratic govern
ments of the world. We are now
about to accept the gauge of battle
with this natural foe to liberty, and
shall, if necessary, spend the whole
force of the nation to check and null
lify its pretensions and its power.
No False PretenSe
"'We are glad. now that we see
the facts with no veil of false pre-
tense about them, to fight thus for
the ultimate peace of the world, and
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-06-18

for the liberation of it's peoples, the
German peoples included; for the
rights of nations, great and small,
and the privilege of men everywhere
to choose their way of life and of
obedience.
The world must be made safe for
democracy. Its peace must be plant
ed upon the tested foundations of po-
litical liberty. We have no selfish
ends to serve. We desire no conquest,
no dominion. We seek no indemni-
ties for ourselves, no material COM
pensation for the sacrifices we shall
freely make. We are but one of the
champions of the rights of mankind.
We shall be satisfied when those
rights have been made as secure as
the faith and freedom of nations can
make them"
And you will see the feeling to-
ward Russia with which America has
entered the great war in. another
clause of the same address. Presi-
dent Wilson further declared:
Does not every American feel
that assurance has been added 20
our hope for the further peace of the
world by the wonderful and hearten-
ing things that have been happening
within the last few weeks in Russia?
Russia was known by those who
knew her best to have been always
in fact democratic at heart in all the
vital habits of her thought, in all
the intimate relationships of her peo-
pie that spoke their natural instinct,
their habitual attitude toward life.
Fight For Freedom
1.-THE autocracy that crowned the
summit of her political structure
long as it had stood and terrible as
was the reality of its power, was not
in fact Russian in origin, character
or purpose, and now it has been
shaken off and the great, generous
Russian people have been added, in
all their native majesty and might, to
the forces that are fighting for free
dom in the world, for justice and for
peace. Here is a fit partner for a
league of honor
THAT partnership Of honor in the
great struggle for human freedom
the oldest of the great democracies
now seeks in fraternal union with the
youngest. Practical and specific
methods and the possibilities of our
allies cooperation the members of
the mission would be glad to discuss
with the members of the Govern
ment of Russia"

FIGHT FOR THE SAME
PRINCIPLES--.ROOT

Petrograd, June Is, via London,
June 17.-Elihu Root. head of the
American mission to Russia, yester-
day, before the Council of Ministers.
outlined Americas aims and desires
in the war as follows;
Mr.. President and Members of the
Council OF Minister'S:
The mission for which have the
honor to speak is charged by the
Government and people of the United
States of America with a message to
the Government and people of Rus
sia The mission comes from demo-
cratic republic. Its members are
commissioned and instructed by a
President who holds his high office
as chief executive of more than 100,-
100000 free people by virtue of
popular election, in which more than
$4,000 900 votes were freely cast and
fairly counted pursuant to law by
universal, equal, direct and secret
suffrage.
Hard Struggle
For 40 years our people have
been struggling with the hard prob
lens of government. With many
short comines, many mistakes, many
mperfectionS. We still have main
tanned order and respect for law, in
dividual freedom and national indie
pendence. Under the security or our
own laws We have grown in strength
and prosperity. But we value our
freedom more than wealth. We love
liberty and we cherish above all our
possessions the ideals for which our
fathers fought and suffered and sac
rifced that America might be free.
I'VE believe in the competence of
the power of democracy and in our
heart of hearts abides faith in the
coming of a better world, in which
the humble and oppressed of all
lands may be lifted up by freedom to
a heritage of justice and equal op-
portunity.

France, but to the families left be-

Immediately our soldiers go into

dependent families will become a

the size of our own, the proper and
practical way to distribute both the
burdens and the benefits fairly ana
uniformly will be through the govern

Iwhen voluntary contributions must

other fields. There will undoubtedly
arise a large number of special cases

clever entertainers who sing their

dance little better than most of their
competitors in the vaudeville field.
incidentally they introduce some
bright and witty dialogue that is
guaranteed to chase away the worst
case or the blues you ever saw.
Espe and Dutton, another clever
couple, who are not strangers to the
local vaudeville fans, will be at the
part theater this week. This team
does a little singing. dancing. tells
FUNNY stories and introduces some
clever juggling during the fifteen
minutes they occupy the stage. Other

at PaXtang this week will be: Reno,
the man from nowhere" a tramp
cyclist, who opens up an entirely ori-
ginal vein of grotesque comedy;
Belle Wilton. a clever young lady

auto doll is novelty that will keep
you guessing up until the very finish
of Mr.. Kendalfs act.
