! Washington, Aug. 9.-America's IS
work toward rehabilitating Russia was
taken up by officials today who had
before them the extensive reports and
advice ct the mission headed BY E!ihu
Root.
Details Of the general report, which
holds out high hopes for the future
of Russia, still are kept secret. Mr..
Root believes that any Information re-
garding the missions findings should
come from President Wilson. The
White House today had not indicated
any intention to make them public.
Six special reports probably will be
submitted to different departments Of
the government. Upon arrival in
Russia each commissioner was given
q special assignment to cover some
particular department Of the new gov.
eminent to. advise with the Russians
and to be able to give aid to the de-
partments at home. The assignments
were AZ follows:
MT. Root, ministry; Charles Edward
Russell workmens council political
parties and socialists; Cyrus McCor-
mick and Charles Bertron, finance;
James Duncan, labor; John r. Mott
and Charles r. Crane, religion; Maj
Gen Hugh L Scott, army Rear Adj
miral James III. Glennon, navy.
Reports on iabpr conditions particu-
,larly. are being eagerly awaited by gov
ernment officials and labor leaders be-
cause OF the great activity of labor
men in the formation Of the new, gov
ernment.
The Russian workingman certainly
will do his SHARE" Mr.. Duncan said.
.tHe has done it already and he is en-
tering into the spiri1 Of the new gov
ernment with a whole heart"

N'CUMBER. SEES
TERRIBLE ERA
OF SLAUGHTER
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Feb. 1.-Prefacing a
prepared address on world peace to-
day, Senator McCumber, Republican,
of North Dakota referred to the Ger
man submarine blockade and declared
that while 1t was inopportune for the
senate to invade the field Of diplo-
macy 1t was more than ever desirable
for it to aid the president in securing
world peace. .
"We awakened this morning" said
Senator McCumber, "to meet situa-
tion so critical as to warrant our lay
ing aside all ordinary business OF
legislation and giving our earnest
consideration to matters in which our
future peace may be at stake.
"The note received last night from
one OF the belligerents foreshadows
an era Of slaughter and starvation far
beyond anything that the world has
vet witnessed and brings home to us
with further force the necessity for the
effort Of the president to check fur
ther slaughter and to bring about
peace"
Senator McCumber declared he
favored the idea of world-enforced
peace, but did not believe either the
United States or any other great ma
ton would favor the conditions pro-
posed by the president under which
this government would come into q
league.

NATION
STIRRED
TODEPTHS
fBy Assocfated Prass.l


London, Feb. 1.-The declaration Of
Germany for unrestricted naval war
fare has created profound sensa-
tion in England where 1t was unex-
pected.
All interest centers on the policy
which neutral maritime nations will
adopt, ,@
The decision of the United States
is awaited with the most intense int
crest as 1t is recognized that 1t will
have strong influence on other neu-
trails and be the most important factor
in the solution Of one OF the most
serious crises Of the war.
Officials declined 20 discuss the
question formally. r
1t is pointed out that inasmuch as the
note is addressed to neutrals and not
to the British government it is essen
TALLY for them to deal with.
There is reason Co believe those In
the inner circles Of the entente allies
were aware Of what was coming ana
had considered measures to bL taken.
The recent naval conference held here
is understood to have gone over this
subject.
It is understood the German noti-
fication to Spain regarding the in
tepsification Of naval warfare was de-
livered several days ago and that It
then became known in entente quar-
ters that the note indicated Spanish
ships would be subject to attack IL
they entered the prohibited zones.
It is noted here that the German
communication to the United States
gives warning against entering the
prohibited areas, but does not state
the effect of so doing. This is con-
strued as a repetition Of the warning
Germany gave in February, 1915,
against entrance Of specified zones by
neutral ships.
It is reported out here that a dec
Iaration of a blockade requires certain
defined formalities under international
law, and that this state Of blockade
is not created by any Of the general
lied references to q blockade in the
German note. #s
