Ambassador Bakhmeteff
Says Terms of Council
Have No Real Standing
WILSON'S INFLUENCE
is FELT IN RUSSIA
Turning Point Said to Be Passed in
Change from Monarchy to Democracy
Statement from Other Nations to
Refute German Propaganda.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Russia has
safely passed the turning point in her
transition from the most autocratic to
the most democratic of nations.
German military efforts and the
threatened attack against Petrograd are
serving to complete the consolidation of
the Russian people behind practical
IDEAS of duly elected representatives to
the exclusion of impractical extremist
elements
All thought of peace excepting on
terms in agreement with those of the
Entente and the United States has been
definitely eradicated in Russia.
Financially Russia s position as a bel
ligerent is even better assured than in
the case of most of her allies.
These are statements which developed
from an inquiry by a correspondent
into the situation in Russia. They are
based on information from state de-
partmcnt sources and from Boris Bakh-
meteff, the Russian Ambassador.
Reports had been received outlining
Russian peace program as drawn up
| by the central executive committee Of
the Council of Workmen : and Soldiers
| Delegates in the form of instructions
to NJ. Skobelofl, its delegate to the Paris
conference. Some persons have jumped
to the conclusion that this revived the
| possibility OF separate peace between
! Russia and Germany. The correspond.
| ent asked the ambassador about il.
The idea Of a separate peace is ab-
solutelv out of all consideration - he
| explained frankly. sit is not even
| thought of by any representative states
man or by any group or party. The on
| ~ peace possible in Russia is a genuine
peace on democratic principles estab-
lShed in full agreement with our allies
and the United States
The ambassador added that the cen
! trail executive committees program
was just proposal from a certain
group which believed it could serve as
! material for future discussion.
The separate peace idea, it was
explained was only an offshoot of the
German propaganda in Russia and was
| exposed and definitely snuficd out last
| June.
The situation in Russia with respect
to peace was described as follows: All
the representative factions want peace
lust as Russia or the United States or
Great Britain or France want peace.
But they all want a genuine peace. and
not counterfeit peace, and all are de-
tcrmincd to fight on until the common
enemy IS forced to accept democracy s
genuine peace.
X. i. Soldatenkov, special envoy of
| Russia to the United States. has put
tins idea in striking form bv pointing
out that the difference between the kind
OF peace which Germany is seeking TO
force and the peace which the Entente
and the United States are determined
10 win in the difference between "im,
moral and moral welfare.
Moral and immoral welfare. /" he
SAYS, these are the two opposed prin.
clpies for which the great fight is 90.
ing on and men are willing 70 die for.
Moral welfare of free people has to be
made secure throughout the world. and

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel
young - to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels - there's no need of
having sallow complexion - dark rings
under your eyes - pimples - bilious
look in your face = dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from in
active bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi-
tute for calomel, are gentle in their action
yet always effective. They bring about
that exuberance of spirit, that natural
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and clear.

Nelson, in commenting on the price.
THE farmer should have been given
$3.50 so that he could have had a
profit on this years crop"
Senator Gronna of North Dakota
declared that the price is only two
thirds what it should have been.
Senator McCumber said that the
farmer is entitled to So, but that $3.50
would have been a fair price and
added 1T could have been worse. A
good crop next year will give the
farmers an opportunity to make a
profit under the 50 minimum fixed"
Senator Sterling and Representative
Johnson of South Dakota said the
price is too low and that it should
have been at least $3.50.
Representative c. B. Miller of Min

the price a fair one and that it will

Of the nineteenth century upward OF o.
COO. 900 of Europeans have left Europe
chiefly for America. Our statistics
show that over 100000 have come to
US since since 1920. and over 100000
within the time of our greatest devel-
opment Of transportation and manu-
featuring, since 1880.
Out of this stream of human mate
rial our industries obtained great sup
plies OF cheap labor with which to or
ganize at low cost certain large activl-
ties in our highly systematized pro-
duction in which thousands individu
ally unskilled were made to do collec-
tive work of high productivity, under
Management, in conjunction with ma
chinery. A generation ago we expected
that European labor would come here
to stay, with its thousands Of skilled
workmen, who helped in the building
up of the industries in their way, and
its hundreds of thousands or raw
humans who would begin at the very
bottom, with the pick and shovel and
rough hands, then better themselves
and find places in the higher ranks, to
be succeeded by new raw immigrants
All would become Americans. And to
the numerical extent then expected
this has been so. But within two dec

Spouse to industrial demand for labor,

by any one nations industries. A very
grave question for American industry,
for Argentine agriculture, for Cuba's
sugar, for what survive of German fac
tories, now before the men who are
concerned with the competitive econo-
mics of the industries is. Will the
worlds supply of migrant labor, to
which the most modern industry has
heretofore adjusted itself, be perma-
nently cut off BY new national arrange
ments that the war has occasioned?
Or will there be flood of permanent
migration
If the immigration statistics of the
United States. supplemented by a
comprehensive compilation of the same
statistics of other countries, were to
be analysed in detail for the purpose
of finding out what they mean TO ma
tional industries in terms of supply
of unskilled and skilled labor there -
no doubt that several surprising and
significant facts would be brought out.
There is no adequate work on interna-
tional migration. IL is difficult TO get
satisfactory statistics. Most govern
ments give no figures of outbound mi
grafton. Few give any details beyond
direct destination and nationality Of
emigrants. But from such statistics
as are available one may obtain
glimpses of an immense worldwide
movement OF populations-of humans
crossing oceans by millions 10 new
homes-millions going for few
months OF employment and then re-
turning. The migration Of the TWEEN
ticth century, a phenomenon generated
BY steel and steam and electricity, by
great ships and enormous modern in
dustry. remains to be adequately de-
scribed.
