Keeping Russia Posted

DR.. Frank Billings Just back from Russia where he was
head of the American Red Cross Special Commission
of the greatest present necessities is to get the truth
into Russia.
The people of that country almost totally befooed
by pro German agencies Little American news that
is worth while to the Russians What does seep in
is skuly cooed by interested agencies which see to it
that the of the Russian people believe this country
has gone into solely for pecuniary gain They believe
vassas of England and that England wants to rule
the world.
We sit back comfortably and think all the nations on
the earth know why went into the We think Presi
dent Wilson's mastery presentation of the unseh

Russia is just instance The Russian people even
today have not heard true word to why in the
war. They do not know announced fighting
for pecuniary and material gain They do not know
announced high atrstc purpose right at the out
set and have varied from it.
They do not know the vast preparations are making
to crush the kaiser who is to free Russia he
is enemy freemen and to free peoples everywhere
Nothing better could be undertaken by the American
than TO keep the Russian people informed The
real news should be disseminated among them.
Only in this way the lies of the pro-eran agents
and of those former East Sders playing the kasers
be put down before they do the of freedom and
justice rreparabe damage.
