PIE or NEW GOVERNMENT
Aims Of the American Mission Headed
BY Elihu Root Set Forth In State
ment at Petrograd by Am
bassador Francis.

Petrograd. Il. Francis, the
American ambassador, issued to the
press on June IA a long statement ex-
planning the aims Of the American
mission headed by Ellhu Root, which
arrived in Pcrograd on June 10. The
statement Is thus summarized by the
official news agency;
1.-THE communique states that the
functions OF the mission are to devise,
IN accord with the Russian govern
ment, effective means to aid Russia in
her efforts TO defeat the universal
enemy of democracy. Germany and
the German standpoint are the great-
est foes to the democratic ideas now
cherished by America and Russia in
common.
"'rhe mission VIII elucldate to Rus
sla the aims followed by America,
making II clear that America is In
spired by idealistie motives also that
she is deyoting TO the struggle all her
material resources, the indications OF
which are the facts that the American
fleet now Is operating Jointly with the
entente allies fleets; that 100000
Americans are registered and the eco
nomlc support which America can
lend. Realizing that Russia must not
only fight, but live, America will try
to reduce the burdens and privatIons
borne by the Russian people,
Among the members of the mission,
continues the communiQue, Is not one
person who pursues any personal,
financial or commercial aims, or who
desires to influence Russian internal
affairs.
The provisional government has Is
sued decree declaring all acts of
military disorder to be insubordina-
ton, including refusal to fight and also
Indictment to fight against the govern
ment. Such acts, says the decree, are
punishable by long sentence to servi-
tude In the penltentiary and the de-
prlyutlou of rights TO property and
also the right to receive land under
the coming land redistribution.

vice was issued by the provost mar
shall general on June II,
General Crowders orders in part
say:
Quotas are to be assigned to the
several states in proportion to their
population as determined by the bu-
reau of the census and not in proper
ton TO registration. The result is
that every person who has failed to
register is seriously increasing the
burden of those who have registered
Ample notice and every opportunity
has now been given and there is no
longer any argument upon which the
conduct of non-registrants can be con-
doned
"The period of lenlency has now
passed. 1t is requested that every eff
fort be now made to detect and arrest
persons subject to registration who
have not registered and to bring each
case promptly to the attention of the
nearest representative of the depart
ment of justice"
The penalty for failure to register
on June 8 is Imprisonment for year
and enforced registration, but General
Crowder Immediately after registra-
ton day recommended that local regis
tratlon boards provide further oppor-
tunity for dellnquents.
General Crowder had nearly com
pleted draft of regulations to govern
exemptions and exemption boards and
expects to lay 1t before Secretary Bak-
er in few days for approval. The
general believes no class should be eX-
empted as such, but that local boards
should decide on the circumstances in
each individual case. He favors use
OF some device such as a jury wheel
for drawing the names of those to be
examined by the exemption boards.

CandIestick Architecture.

At certain quaint little restaurant
in Greenwich village, N. Y, there are
some self-made candle decorations
which are oddly interesting. The can
dlesticks started out by being the ordi-
nary slim brass affairs, but the drip
pings of countless candles have been
allowed to accumulate until round the
base of every stick there has formed
an intricately delicate 'grotto of white
wax. The formation is about ten or
twelve inches in diameter in each case,
the wax has run down and hardened
into tiny caves, craggy precipices and
other features, in miniature, similar
to the great stalactite caves. Streaks
of soft green have been added to the
white by the verdigris forming on the
brass and coloring the wax as it melts'
The wax grottos have grown to such
that the candlesticks are
entirely concealed and the lighted can
dies seem to rise out of the roofs OF
the dainty caves.
