A Much-TraveIed Person.

A young man, who has been gun ner's mate for number of years, but is now trying to get others to enlist in the navy, tells of his conversation with a young fellow he found digging a ditch. He asked the boy whether he had ever thought of Joining the ranks of those who will aid their country through the navy, and was assured quite promptly that he had not.
 The navy man proceeded then to point out it's wonderful advantages, enIarging somewhat on opportunities for travel. The boy paused in his dig ging long enough to say proudly: I've travelled"
 The navy man was somewhat sur prised. Have you seen London?' he asked.

AMERICAN MISSION
 ARRIVES IN RUSSIA
ANNOUNCEMENT OF SAFE PASS AGE OF COMMISSION WAS
 MADE BY DANIELS.
TO PETROGRAD AT ONCE
Outline of Communication to Russian Heads Indicate What America Is Fighting For and How Far
 She Will Go.

Washington.-Th American mis- sion to Russia, headed by Elihu Root. arrived at a Russian port. Announce ment of the safe passage of the com mission was made by Secretary of the Navy Daniels
 powers to act for the United States. Timed to coincide with his arrival, q message from the State Department outlining the war aims of the United States has been cabled to the de fac to government of Russia.
 The statement sets forth clearly what the United States is fighting for and how far it will go. The statement is addressed to Russia for two main reasons-to brace the republican gov ernment of that country by assurance of the aid of the great sister republic across the seas and to convey to the liberals of Russia the knowledge that America is fighting for the same ideals which they demand as part of any peace treaty
 The peace aims-or the peace de- mands-they might be called, of America, may be divided somewhat as follows:
 First-Crushing of militarism and abandonment of heavy armafnents as guarantee against junkerism again plunging the world into sea of blood. This is the demand of democracy that it may be made safe against the onslaughts of an imperial clique.
 Second-Freedom of the seas and restriction of the use of submarines as a weapon of offense. Crews of mer- chant vessels must be assured safety. In this connection, restrictions upon the use of many implements of land war are also likely. Poison gas, liquid flame and similar weapons are regard ed as too inhuman to be allowed to again be employed for the destruction of life.
 Third-Guarantees that will hold that small nations and their rights will be respected This includes the re creation and indemnity of Belgium. | Servia and other little countries wip- l ed out by the Germans, as well as the establishment so far as possible of | borders on racial lines. A Jewish re- public in Palestine may be one of the outgrowths of the war. and this is fav- ored by the United States.

ORGANIZED PLOT 10
 CHECK REGISTRATION
HEADQUARTERS OF ORGANIZA- TON AT COLUMBUS, OHIO-
 PRINT SHOP RAlDED.

Columbus, Ohio.-A gigantic propa- ganda plot, with national headquar- ters in this city, organized to induce young men of military age all over the United States to refrain from reg istering for eonseription, has been uncovered by state and government secret service agents, according to all nouncement made by Gov. James Fl. Cox
 Details of the plot, which was said to have extended into many states, became known when United States marshals 'raided print shop and of- fees at III 1-2 South High street, where practically all of the propagar- da literature was printed and distrib- uted. It was stated that the plot ap- peared to be we'll financed and well organized.
 Three men already are under arrest in this city in connection with the plot and it was said further arrests would be made both here and in other cities of Ohio and the middle west within the next few days.
 Shortly after noon the raid was made on the print shop headquarters by federal and local officers. Harry E. Townsley, alleged to be the pro prietor of the print shop, was arrested in the raid.
 Earlier in the day Ammon Hennacy, who claims to be graduate of Ohio State University, and Albert Valnis- per, a car builder. were arrested for distributing anticonscription ltera- ture.

RUSSIA WAR AIMS
 SIMILAR TO U. s.
BORIS BAkMETIEFF SAYS HIS COUNTRY WILL STICk-HEADS
 COMMISSION TO THE U. s.

Tokyo-"I am immensely satisfied with conditions in Russia, including Siberia" said Prof. Boris Bakhme- tieff, the new Russian ambassador to the United States, on arriving here. "I think the new regime is carrying on the work of organization success fully and will soon be able to launch an offensive against the enemy"
 Prof Bakhmetieff is at the head of a special commission of 40 on it's way to the United States. He repudiated the idea that his country would make a separate peace. The reorganized provisional government of Russia, which had wisely incorporated labor elements in its membership, was de- voting it's efforts to organizing The national life, he said, and especially to strengthening the army. Difficult ties have occurred, but they had been exaggerated, and it was unreasonable to assume that the ancient autocracy could be overthrown without encoun- tering resultant obstacles.
 During the trip from Petrograd Prof. Bakhmetieff said he was inn pressed by the desire of the people 10 cooperate with the government and continue the war to the victory which was essential to the salvation of Rus sia,
 He found local committees at work everywhere. At Irkutsk and Vladi- vostok governors have been elected and they are controlling the situation ably.
 "Russia's war aims are similar 10 America's," he continued, "as sister democracies they are fighting hand in hand l am going to America with complete diplomatic powers. l shall take up questions of munitions, sup plies and finance.
 T need scarcely emphasize our pro found appreciation of Americas help at the hour rof the upbuilding of our democracy"
 Among the members of the commits sion are Gen. Ropp, who will be at tached to the American Army; NJ. Louonpoff, railroad expert; M. No ritzky, representing the finance min istry; M Borodin. representing the ministry of agriculture, and M. Gran ovsky, an artillery expert.
