Ccopyrghl)

American ambassador. issued 10 the
press on June II long statement ex-
planning the aims of the American
mission headed by Elihu Root. which

official news agency:
The communique states that the

enemy Of democracy. Germany and
the German standpoint are the great
est foes 10 the democratic ideas now
cherished by America and Russia in
common.
The mission will elucidate TO Rus
STA the aims followed by America.
making it clear that America is in
spired by idealistic motives; also that
she is devoting 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
monte support which America can
lend. Realizing that Russia must not
only. fight. but live. America will try
TO reduce the burdens and priyations
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 a decree declaring all acts OF
military disorder to be insubordina-
ton, including refusal 10 fight and also
Indictment to fight against the govern
ment. Such acts, says the decree, are
punishable by long sentence to servi-

vice was issued by the provost mar
shall general on June Il.
General Crowder's orders in part
say:
Quotas are TO be assigned 10 the
several states in proportion 10 their
population as determined by the bu-
reau Of the census and not in proper
ton 10 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 leniency has now
passed. II is requested that every eff
fort be now made TO detect and arrest
persons subject to registration who
have not registered and 10 bring each
case promptly 10 the attention OF the
nearest representative Of the depart
ment of justice"
The penalty for failure to register
on June is Imprisonment for year
and enforced registration, but General
Crowder Immediately after registra-
ton day recommended that local regis
tration boards provide further oppor-
tunity for delinquents.
General Crowder had nearly com
pleted a draft of regulations TO govern
exemptions and exemption boards and
expects TO lay it before Secretary Bak-
er in a 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.
