eign Minister Says sIavs
VIII Continue War.

Petrograd, June ia resolution.
calling for an immediate offensive by
Russian troops, has been adopted by
the duma in secret session.
This information was made public
at about the same time that notice
was given that the pan-Russian CON

soldiers delegates had ratified the ac-
ton Of the provisional government in
expelling from Russia Robert Grimm,
the Swiss Socialist, reported to be
the medium through which the Ger
mans attempted to arrange a separate
peace with Russia.
The duma statement declares a sep
arate peace with Germany or pro-
longed inactivity on the battle front
to be ignoble treason toward Russias
allies, for which future generations
never would pardon the Russia of the
present day.
"The duma therefore considers" the
resolution adds, that the safety of
Russia and the maintenance of the
liberties which have been obtained lie
In an immediate offensive in close CO.
operation with Russia's allies"

inevitable and will continue it. The
Russians have no imperialistic wishes
We know that you have none. We
shall fight together to secure liberty,
freedom and happiness for all the

see any moral idea or factor between
America and Russia to divide us.
"We two people-Russia fighting
tyranny and America standing as the
Oldest democracy-hand in hand will
show the way of happiness to nations,
great and small"
These ringing words, expressing the
attitude of the Russian government
toward America and the American
mission headed By Elihu Root, were
voiced by M. Tereschtenko, minister
OF foreign affairs, responding for the
council of ministers to Mr.. Roots adj
dress of sympathy and good will.
