| CHICAGO, May 5.-Viviani, Joffre
and the French commission today bid
farewell to the sea of flags and the
/ roar of cheers which marked the first
i two days Of their trem endous recep-
ton by the middle west here and after
| the big stockyards mass meeting this
afternoon, carry their message of war
and love on to other conquests.
The west awoke today to the sound
| of the voice of embattled France
laundering its plea for Americas aid
in a world war for freedom" And
the French war makers themselves,
tucked away in the luxurious furnish
ings of Charles r. Cranes marble
palace on Lake Shore drive, awoke
to realization that the west is for
war to the finish.
Formally and excIusiveness were
swept aside in the program of the day
and Vfviani and Joffre, both numbered
among Frances men of the people"
stepped down among those myriad
hosts of the middle west who earn
their bread by the sweat of their
brows.
1t was to such thousands as Viviani
and >Joffre will address themselves in
the monster free public stock yards
meeting which says Chicago's farewell
to the war envoys late today that ex-
Premier Rene Viviani directed his
words when he cried:
Come to US. American brothers
Come and fight side by side with
your French brothers; your allied
brothers.
Come under your glorious banner
to fight for the democracy of the world
and show all men that when the rights
of single nation are violated. the
rights of all nations are trampled I'M
der foot
With his jaw locked, and his dou-
bled fist smashing into his palm for
emphasis. Viviani delivered his dia-
tribe against kaiserism:
From the first you gave us the bene-
fit of your moral support, because you
are a great democracy; and we are
great democracy. Because in Europe
and in France there are free men who
were thus agreed in soul yet to raise
higher the flag of democracy before
the rampant of an autocracy which is
tottering to its fall.
Absolute monarchies imagine they
can conquer other peoples by the mar
riages they make and by placing on all
the thrones Of Europe their relatives
and representatives. This is not

PETROGRAD, May 4. (Via London
May Slater two days of cheering,
muttering, jostling mobs surgins
back and forth in demonstrations that
at times approached periolously near
to organized riots, the duma prov1s-
ional government had today apparent
ly succeeded in re-establishing Itself.
An all night meeting last night ap-
parently smoothed out many differ
ences between the duma leaders and
soldiers and workmen's delegates.
Fsormal report of these deliberations
has not yet been made. but the at.
titude of representatives on both
sides indicated greater unity.
At the headquarters of the sol
diers and workmen's committee to-
day it was informally stated that an
amicable adjustment had been reach
ed with the duma leaders and that
the executive committee, by two ID
one vote, had approved the govern
ment's pledges. Included In these
pledges, it was reported, was one to
announce publicly the reasons be.
hind the provisional governments an
nouncement on May day as to Rus
sia's aims In the war. Soldiers dele
gates said today the full text Of this
explanation had been read to the
executive committee and approved
by them.
In the meantime, the temper of the
surging crowds on the streets has
perceptibly changed. Yells and i'm
precautions against the ministers have
been quieted, for cheers for demo-
cratic Russia Sober heads in the
throngs apparently succeeded in
bringing home to the demonstrators
the necessity for continuance of a
form Of governments gov
ernment that would have been dis
solved for rule Of the mob II the
crowds demands for resignation Of
various ministers had succeeded.
Twenty-Five thousand persons were
jammed in the streets around the
palace all day Thursday
and Thursday night 1t was tur-
bulent, shouting mob. Many clashes
occurred among it's members. Sew
eral shots were fired No attempt
was made to keep order. Two per-
sons were reported struck by bullets.

for wholesale designations of the

But through all the disorder, there
ran the instructive caution against
aiding Germany by disrupting Rus

who sought to urge complete broth
