VERY REPRESENTATIVE GROUP
OF MEN ARE SENT TO HELP
NEW RUSSIA
.aIHU ROOT WILL Be LEADER
Commission Ready to Organize and
Plan for Important Task Of Hold
ing New Republic for Allies

Washington. May 1.-THE presi-
dent has completed the personnel Of
the commission which will 20 to
Russia for this government to assist
the provisional government Of the
former empire Of the czar.
The personnel will be announced,
probably today, as follows:
Elihu Root, Cyrus Mccormick, C.
r. Berton. New York banker;
Charles Russell. socialist leader;
James Duncan, vice-president OF the
American Federation OF Labor; DR..
John r. Mott. Charles R. Crane, OF
Chicago. q
Major General H. L. Scott. chief Of
stan. U. s. A., and Rear Admiral
James A. Glennon. will be the mill
tary and naval members Of this ma
tons commission to Russia, it was
oficially announced today.
The commission will get together
within the next few days to organize
formally. The fact that such men
as Root and Russell--men OF such
widely different views on all matters,
governmental and economic are to
be on the same commission, working
for the same democratic end, occa-
stoned no such surprise and comment
today as would be caused even six
months ago by so radical personnel
of government commission.
It was pointed out today that every
so-called class In America is repre-
sented, Roots admitted capabilities.
1t was said. "need no discussion"
Russell and Duncan are considered
as eminently fitted as representatives
OF the socialist and labor classes.
Both are expected to give to Russian
leaders Just what they will have. to
have in the line Of advice on labor
and industrial problems. 1t is be-
cause the socialist movement will be
OF such tremendous Influence in the
formation Of a republican form Of
government in Russia that Russell
was chosen.
Charles R, Crane is well acquaint-
ed with Russian conditions. Bertron
will be the commissions financial
representative. McCormick's exper-
ience as head os one of Americas
greatest industrial enterprises is ex-
pected to prove invaluable. The
great need Of Russia for agricultural
tools, It is thought. incidentally, can
better be reme6ted with Mccormick
on the ground.
Mott is q great organizer.

Petrograd. May 1.-THE Schisel-
berg munitions district revolted to-
day. Workmen and citizens OF the
district announced their intention OF
organizing a separate republic Rep
resentatives OF the workmen's and

announced purpose.
The provisional president OF the

however there was no violence.

GERMANS COUNT ON
SOCIALISTS HELP

Copenhagen. May 11.-German
newspapers are beginning enthusias-
tically to press agent the so-called
socialist conference at Stockholm in
June. This press propaganda scheme
was regarded here today as most
convincing proof of the entirely Ger
man character of the schedule.
In December, before Chancellor
Won Bethmann-Hollweg sprang his
carefully prepared peace proffer,"
all German newspapers suddenly
blossomed forth with predictions of
an approaching happy event" The
ardor with which the German press
dwelt upon this theme and the par
allel lines OF thought about 1t were
too apparent to indicate anything
else than inspiration from the gov
ernment.
Today, exactly the same sort of
movement is to be discerned, Even
the same words--"an approaching
happy event"--are being used. The
Inference to be drawn from these
German newspaper articles is that
u separate peace with Russia is form.
ing.
Reliable Information today was
that many Of Germany's cleverest
statesmen were far from optimistic
over the possibility of separate
peace with Russia, Out OF the whole
peace plan, however, they had hopes
OF persuading Russia to coax the al
lies into accepting terms which
would be satisfactory to Russia and
satisfactory, likewise to Germany,
In view Of this authentic infor-
nation, the proposals Of peace which
Biorb1erg was reported to be bear
ing took on additional significance.

their stockholders objected to tax
on incomes. but said that stock divid-
ends really don't amount to actual

Kratz said that frequently there
would be double taxation because
