RUSSIA SPURNS OFFER
 OF SEPARATE PEACE
Government Policy Announced by Ambassador Bakmeteiff- Promises Made to the United States and Other Allies.

Washington, June 21-Russia will fight to the last ditch. There will be no separate peace between the new republic and the kaiser. Only last ing, universal peace, without annexa- tions or contributions, will be recog- nized by the Russian government.
 These promises were made to the United States and to the other allies of Russia today by Boris Bakmeteiff, ambassador of the new Russian gov ernment, in the first interview he has given since the arrival of the Russian mission in this country.
 Ambassador Bakmeteiff announced this as the policy of his government.
 The provisional government, reject ing in accord with the whole people of Russia all thought of separate peace puts it openly as it's deliberate purpose the promptest achievement of universal peace; such people to presume no dominion over other na- tions; no share of their national prop erty or forced usurpation of foreign territory; peace with no annexations or contributions; based upon the free determination by each nation of it's destinies.
 "The Russian people thoroughly un- derstand and are fully convinced" said NJ. Bakhmeteiff, that it is abso- lutely necessary to root out the auto cratic principles which underlie and are represented by German militiar- ism, which threatens the peace, the freedom and the happiness of the world"
 Alexander Bakhmeteiff quoted the declaration of the provisional govern ment rejecting all thoughts of separ- ate peace, and added that "every re- cent event in Russia leaves not the slightest doubt that Russia is decided as to the necessity of fighting the German autocracy until the conditions for a general and stable peace in Europe are established"

pRESCOTT'S PART lY THE RED CROSS
 FUND CAMPAIGN
Not a Question of Whether You Have Boy to Help, But a Hu- mane Duty You Owe Mankind People Are Watching Us.

As heretofore announed, the peo- nle of Nevada County have been re- ouested to contribute $20,000.00 as their part of the Arkansas contribut- i'm to the Red Cross. It may be safe lv estimated that if that amount is to be raised the people of Prescott will he required, and should be expected, to contribute one half of this sum. Taking that as basis from which to make an estimate, what may be ex- pected from the County?
 According to the figures at hand, the people of this town at the close of the first five days canvass by the com mittee, had contributed approximate ly S1,00000. By dilligent and hard work he committee may possibly be able to raise an additional thousand dollars from the Prescott people, bringing the total up to $2.000.00. Then according to the above estimate Nevada County's contribution will be four thousand instead of twenty thou sand dollars. Then how will our showing compare with that of the people of some of the other counties? Monroe County was requested to con- tribute the same amount as Nevada County. Monroe County has already raised S26,0O0.00. Dallas County was asked to raise S10,000.00, and that county has already subscribed s15,000.00. This kind of liberality ex- tends throughout number of the counties. We are just as able to raise $20000.00 as are the people of Monroe county; then where is the trouble? Is it because we are lack ing in patriotism? Or is it because We are so stingy and close-fsted that we will permit a few dollars to stand between us and our wounded, bleeding and dying boys on the battlefield? Or is it because our people have not walked up and do not realize and ap- preciate the great importance and necessity of this cali to the aid of humanity? I am inclined to accept the latter reason which I think cer- tainly accounts for some of the small donations on the part of some of our citizens. The soliciting committee are certainly to be greatly commended for their noble efforts, but it is absolute ly impossible for the members of this committee to explain in detail to each and every individual, whom they can vass, the objects, purposes and impor-
