WELCOME TO RUSSIANS

New York July 6-The Russian mis- sion, headed by Boris A. BaShmeteff, ambassador to the United States, was greeted by thousands on it's arrival here today.
 The most imressive incident of it's com ing occurred when the mission landed at the Battery. Lined up in g. long double row was a battalion of Russian sailors. They caught the eye of the ambassador as soon as he entered the Court of
 Honor, resplendent with the white, blue and red of Russia. He asked to review the bluejac1ets and did so in a man. ner. which exemplified the new democracy of his country.
 As he began to march along the line
 he waved his hand to the sailors and shouted: T bring thee greetings from free Russia"
 The ear-splitting hurrah that went up from the sailors was taken up and re-, peated bS the thousands who filled Bat tery park.
 Prominent Russian Americans then well comed the ambassador in the name of their people. The ambassador responded with a brief speech. From the Battery the visitors passed through f1ag-bedecked Lower Broadway to the city hall, where they were for
 mally received by Mayor Mitchell. You come, the mayoE said "as al- lies to bring us assurance and pledge that the Tree people Of liberated Russia are highly resolved to stand to the end
 with the free people of the United States and Of the other allied nations in this struggle to protect democracy, secure hu- man liberty, establish international law and to bring for all mankind a lasting peace founded upon righteousness and justice.
 Our two nations have extended to each other their brotherly hands in this world struggle" said Ambassador Bakhmetieff in reply.
 There was a dramatic pause as the speaker took from the lapel of his coat the medallion of the reception commit tee and waving it aloft, said: '.The in- l scription on this medal says: TO make the world safe for democracy To make the world safe for democracy-we are one"
 l From the city hall the members of the mission passed through throngs that 1 lined FifSh avenue to the home of Adolph Lewisohn where they will stay during I their visit here. The procession made a | brief stop at the statue of Garibaldi in Washington Square, where company of women presented the ambassador with an American flag

"The only excuse that can be offered for continuing the liquor traffic is that few men might make money out of it." he said. Tt has no proper place in a civil ized country" He was in favor of com plete prohibition and told the Senate he stood appalled, at the continuation of this nefarious traffic with congressional and presidential recommendation.
 Senator Sheppard leading prohibition advocate, announced that he would sup port the hands of the President, and
 yield to the request for deferring action

PAROLES GRANTED

Ephriam Williams of Jefferson county, serving 30 years in prison for assault with intent to murder obtained his liberty Fri day because he has been injured in the coal mines, is of no further service and his relatives are anxious to care for him in his lastgyears. Governor Henderson, in his order, said Williams could not do any manual labor again and that his people were ready to care for him.
 Three other paroles were granted by the executive department Friday. Clarence Nix of Etowah county, who was sen fenced to three years for grand larceny, was released on the recommendation of the solicitor, warden and prison physician. He is unable to do further manual labor. Lee Brown of Jefferson, sentenced to 20 years for assault with intent to murder, was released because he has chronic rheu- matism and because the trial judge and prison physicians said he was fit sub- ject for clemency.
