ROWLING GALE

For two days after the St. Louis left there was a bowling gale, accompanied with fog and frequent snow squalls, but the liner held steadily to the course which had been determined on. Every precaution was taken. Even on the first night out deck lights were shielded and cabin portholes shaded so that no glirnmer of light showed. Lookouts swept the horizon frequently with their glasses. The passengers were. taken in hand and drilled daily in donning life belts and assembling quickly at their appointed places at the lifeboats. Crews for the lifeboats were assigned to their stations and instructed as to their duties. The lifeboats were provisioned long before the prohibited zone was reached, and were swung out, partly lowered and lashed so that only a mo- ment would be lost in dropping them into the water.

 ARRIVES IN RUSSIA
Washington Announces Land ing of Root Party-State- ment of U. s. Cabled to De FactO Government.

Washington, June 3The American mission to Russia, headed by Elihu Root, arrived at a Russian port this morning. Announcement of the safe passage of the commission was made by Secretary of the Navy Daniels. He had received a dispatch from the commander of the vessel on which the journey was made.
 Former Senator Root and his col leagues will proceed to Petrograd im- mediately. They will arrive at the Russian capital at a time when the new government is hemmed in on all sides by disorganization, royalist plots, radical uprisings and lack of power to meet the menacing situation which threatens either to force Russia into separate peace or at the best remove her from consideration as a belligerent
 MT Root bears plenipotentiary powers to act for the United States. llmed to conclde with his arrival. a message from the State Department outlining the war aims of the United States has been cabled to the de facto government of Russia
 This statement was drafted by President Wilson He wrote it him. self-picking it out with two fingers on the old typewriter which has been the medium of so much of Americas diplomatic correspondence in the last two years.
 The statement sets forth clearly what the United States is fighting for and how far it will go. The state ment is addressed to Russia for two main reasons-to brace the republi- can government of that country by assurance of the aid of the great sis ter republic across the seas and to convey to the liberals of Russia the knowledge that America is fighting for the same ideals which they de- mand as part of any peace treaty.
