PETROGRAD, Monday, June 25.- Charles Edward Russell, socialist, and a member of the American commission, outlined the aims of the United States and the reasons which brought the country into the war before a full coun. cil of Workmen's and soldiers delegate- this afternoon. MT. Russell was warned in advance that he might exrect an un- friendly demonstration on the part of the Extremists among his auditors, but for the most part his hearers were sym pathetic and often interrupted the speaker with applause. Alter the meet ing MT. Russell was told that he was the only foreigner who had addressed the body who had not been heckled
 The declaration of MT Russell that the United States was fighting only be- cause the democracies of the world were in danger and after that democracy Was safe the peope would turn to social re- form was cheered to the echo.
 M. Tcheidse, president of the counci, of workmen's and soldiers delegates, in replying to the speech or MT. Russeli, said the democracy of Russia was built upon the same foundation as that or the Unites States and that Russia would carry on the war until mutual aims were achieved

WITH THE ROOT MISSION, FEN ROUTE FROM MOSCOW TO PET ROGRAD, Sunday, June 24.-The Root mission left Moscow for Petro- grad tonight with a distinct sense of encouragement.
 ''I have derived much more encour- agement from my observations of con- ditions in Moscow than 1 expected" " said Mir. Root. Tt seems clear that the men we met there and the classes they represent are periodically de- voted to the task of bringing the coun- try through her present difficulty. may say that I think after visiting Moscow that there is a fair chance of their succeeding.
 T believe that the cloud which rested over the peasant population and some Of the less informed classes all ready shows signs of lifting They are attaining a conception of the meaning of their new liberty and of the way in which to preserve it."

SAYS MESOPOTAM|A
 CAMPAIGN MISTAKE
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

LONDON, June 26-The most scathing and outspoken official re- port of the investigation of any mili- tary operations since the war began not even excluding the report of the illfated Dardanelles expedition, was made puNlic in a Blue Book issued to- night. This was the report of the commission that has been investigat ing the Mesopotamia expeditiop
 The report finds that the eXpedi tion was justifiaole military enter prise, but was undertaken with in sufficient forces and inadequate preparation and that it's initial fail ure, with the loss of Kut. was due to lack of foresight, to mistakes and miscalculations. The report frankly declares that the shortcomings re- vealed reflect discredit upon the or ganizing aptitude of all concerned and apportions the chief responsibility of General Nixon. the former command CT of the British forces in Meso potamia, and upon the Viceroy Of h. dia, Lord Hardinge, and the com mander- -in- chief in India General Sir Beauchamp- Duff
 The report largely attributes the shortcomings to the policy of indis- criminate retrenchment pursued for some years before the war by the In dia government under instructions from the home government Trans port and medical services are indi- cated as the weakest spots in the ex- petition. The lack of transpots pre- venting endorsements from reaching Kut in time.
 Biefly the report shows the mis- takes and miscalculations incident to the attempt to advance on Bagdad, which involved the surrender of more than a division of the finest fighting troops, while the casualties incurred in the ineffective attempt to relieve Kut amounted to about 23.000 men.

 Today a mighty inspiration impels every one of us to lose in patriotic con- secration whatever has disappointed. whatever has estranged, whatever has divided us," he declared. We are Americans and we stand for human liberty and human justice.
 Let us resolve to crown the mir acles of the past with the spirit of a republic compact, united, indissoluble in the bonds of love and patriotism- from the lakes to the gulf, from tho At lantic to the Pacific-the wounds of disappointments, past differences and war healed in every heart
 And may God forget us if we forget the divinity of our purpose"

What is particularly noteworthy

but a practical topic appropriate to

Gun Statutes In India.

The viceroy of India, as representa-
tive of the king-emperor, is entitled to
a salute of thirty-one guns. This num-
Der had its origin In a mistake. For
merly he was entitled to twenty-one
guns. When the time came, years ago,
for allotting the salutes to the various
native rulers of India the three prin-
cipal Of these vassal sovereigns-name-
ly, those Of Hyderabad, Mysore and
Baroda-were each accorded twenty
one guns. 1t was discovered a little
late in the day that the superior rank
Of the viceroy had been overlooked In
the matter, and the necessity was
pointed out Of his supremacy over the
vassal rulers being emphasized I'm the
eyes Of the natives. So instead Of re-
ducing the number Of twenty-one guns
that had been accorded to the three
rulers in question the viceroy was Civ
en- ten more guns and is today the only
person I'm the world who is entitled to
that altogether exceptional number of
guns.-London Spectator.
