FIGHT ON FOR WORLD PEACE

PETROGRAD, May 10, via London,
SIG p. m.-'i'he provisional govern
nent declared today that it was united
in the rejection of a separate peace
and that it adopts as its aim the re-
establishment of general peace
which will not tend either to DONNA
tiou over other nations or to the seil-
ure Of their national possessions IA
peace without anneXatons or indem-
mites.
The governmest expresses its con-
viction that the Russian army will not
suffer the Germans to destroy Rus
slas western allies.
The statement embodying these
declarations was issued by the newly
reorgunized proyisoall government
as a declaration and reads:
The Statement.
The provisional government re-
organized and reinforced by repre-
sentatiVcs of the revolutionary de-
lnocracy, declares that ii VIII ener-
getically carry into effect the ideas OF
liberty. equity and fraternity beneath
the standards by which the great
Russian revolution came to birth. The
provisional government is united as TO
action as follows:
General Peace, Aim.
Firstly: In policy, The provisional
government, rejecting in concert with
the entire people all thot of a sepa-
rate peace, adopts openly as its aim
the re-Cstablishment of general
peace which shall not tend towards
either dominion over other nations
the seizure of their national posses
sions oi violent usurpation of thetf
tcrritorics-a peace without anneNa-
lion or indemnities and based upon
the right of nations to decide their
own affairs. In the firm conVicton
that the fall of the regime of cZardom
in Russia and the consolidation Of the
democratic principles of our internal
and external policy will create in the
allied democracies new aspirations
towards a stable peace ana brother
hood of nations, the provisional gov
crnment will take steps towards
bringing about an agreement with the
allies on n basis of the declaration OF
April Q.
World Calamity Feared.
SECONDLY: Convinced that the de-
feat of Russia and her allies would
not only be a source of greatest ca
lamity to the people, but would post
pone or make linposslple the CohSlu
sion of a world peace on the
basis indicated above, the provisional
government believes that the Russian
revolutionary army will not suffer the
German troops TO destroy our western
allies and then throw themselves upor
us with the full force of their arms.
"The development of the principle
of characterization in the army anC
the development Of its military power
both offensive and defensive will con
stitute the most important task of the
provisional government.

SLACK DEMAND
FOR WAR BONDS
Liberty Loan Is Not Meeting
With Response in Tulsa,
Say Bankers.

Every bank In the city yesterday
reported good progress in the sale OF
liberty bonds, tho indications are that
the great mass of people have not
awakened to the importance of max
ing a showing by oversubscribing the
first issue Of government securities.
The goal of $5,O00,O00 set for Tulsa is
still far away and the bankers realize
that a campaign of personal nature
will have to be carried out if Tulsans
are brought to realize their part in
the war loan.
1t is thot that the enforcement Of
the selective draft law when some
five thousand Tulsa men will be COM
PEELED to register themselves subject
to the call of the government will
bring others who do not come under
that command to the realization that
they, too, should play an active part in
the campaign by buying as many
liberty bonds as they can possible ar
range for.
Another Issue Soon.
Most any kind of an arrangement
can be made for the payment of bonds
purchased as the government has in
structed the bankers that the all inn
portant thing Is to get this first issue
into the hands of patriotic citizens and,
thereby, make way for the issue which
is bound to follow within "a few
months. Congress voted bond is
sue of $7000,00000 of which the
$4,000, 100000 now asked for is a
part. Tulsas share of the $4,000, 900,
600 is $2,500,000. Our full share OF
the whole issue is $s,750,000 so ii is
very important that the holdings be
spread about among as many indi-
Vduals as possible SO as not to in,
terfere with the usual demands busi-
ness makes on the local banks.
Not Taxable.
Under local conditions Tulsa
bankers are urging the liberty bond as
7 per cent investment. Local tax
rates are now almost 8 p per cent
while the liberty bond issue earns
that amount and is eXampt of al
taxes making it net per cent. This
is under the tax levy of last year wher
America was at peace. 1t is suggested
that the liberty bond will probably
become p 10 per cent investment be.
fore the war is over, as taxes are sure
to be raised, probably several times.
Patriotism and Profit.
Profit, however, is not the mair
appeal made for the bonds-but tn,
opportunity offered for each person
to show his or her patriotism.
Tulsa bankers propose to extend
their field of activity outside of tn,
city and into the adjoining counties
offering speakers and workers to aiC
the bankers of surrounding countie!
in their campaign for placing libert!
! bonds. To aid the campaign button!
on which is printed II own a bond
do you?" will be given to each person
who onlists in the cause Of Americi
via the liberty bond route.

under orders to proceed abroad as
soon as pri, ticable.
Take Engineers. Too.
Altho details are not being made
public, it was calculated tonight that
with the marine regiment the total
American force now designated Tor
land service in Europe Is close To
ten thousand. An army division al
war strength comprises about twenty
five thousand men and upwards OF
twelve thousand are expected 10 hc in
the nine volunteer regiments OF cnfi-
ncors now being recruited. The for
cstry regiment and the marine rcgi
ment each will number more than one
thousand. The strength of the naval
force in European waters has not been

General Pershing and his staff VIII

as there Is much TO he done on the
other side to pave the way for finaI
training of the force and for the huge
army the United States Is preparing
to pour across the seas after 1t as
rapidly as men can be trained an'
equipped.
Departure to BE Secret.
For obvious reasons, no Information
as to the time OF the American com

tant mission, the first word of hi'
errand came from London after ar

When General Pershing leaves
every detail Of the organization ant
