RUSS REPUBLIC
IS REORGAN|zED
Action Taken After AmbaS-
Sador Francis Urges u.
S. to be the First.

WASHINGTON, March "a
Formal and full recognition by the
United States of the new govern
ment of Russia was announced
Thursday night at the state depart
ment. The silence which has been
observed at the department. con-
corning the events in Russia was
| broken when officials learned that
the news of Ambassador Francis
official welcoming of the new regime
had been received in press dis
patches.
1t may now be stated that on
Tuesday the department received
long dispatch from Ambassador
Francis asking authority to recog-
nize formally the new government.
The ambassador pointed out that
the new Russia was founded on the
same principles which had inspired
the trainers of the American repub-
] lie and that its leaders stood for
all that this country held sacred.
The revolution, he said, had been
entirely successful and good order
prevailed everywhere.
Desires L. s. Action.
The ambassador desired partfcu-
larly that the United States should
be the first nation TO welcome the
new Russian government into the
60
Americas policy to do everything
in its power for the extension of
republican principles and spoke
most highly of a movement which
i'm less than a week had given the
most autocratic country in the world
a modern government.
Officials here echoed this feeling
and were especially enthusiastic
about the personnel of the new
government, whose members were
known to be not only highly pa
triotic and liberal minded, but also
highly efficient to meet the colossal
task before them. There we're indi- |
cations, however, that for the pres
ent. particularly because news of |
the arrest of the former emperor |
and empress created an apprehen- |
sion among high officials, the |
United States would content itself |
with extending de facto recognition. |
Americas action is expected to |
encourage the men controlling the |
new government Russias allies |
also are planning prompt recogni-
ton. British Am bassador Buchan-
an is empowered to recognize the |
new government formally just as
soon as Italy and France so instruct |
their ambassadors at Petrograd.
Send Credentials.
New credentials will be sent to
Ambassador Francis shortly. as I'M
til now he has been personally ac-
credited 10 Emperor Nicholas.
Likewise. Ambassador Bakmeteff
here will receive new credentials as
representing not the emperor. but
the Russian government, if the
change in government does not re-
suit in changes in the diplomatic
service.
Dispatches received from Petro-
grad Thursday indicate that good
order still is continuing and that
more important factions. individuals
and provinces. have gone over to
the new government. Apparently
sections that were in doubt
as TO what TO do have decided to
cast their lot with the revolution.

completion. Mention of socialist or
Workingmen's opposition is decreas-
