more dangerous than yesterday.
Since five o'clock yesterday morning,
when driving through dense fog. her

cruiser has remained helpless with wat.

than wreckers could pump II out. Hope
was held out by naval officials that the
Olympia would be floated in time, al
though II was admitted her position was
dangerous.
The work proceeded under moderate
weather conditions, which strengthened
the belief that the warship could be
dragged into deep water. II was said,
however. that a high wind would make
this difficult and that possibly the
Olympia, famous as Admiral Dewey's
flagship, might have to be destroyed as
a menace TO navigation.

RUSS DEMOCRACY
RESOLVES AGAIN
NEITHER SEPARATE ARMISTICE
NOR SEPARATE PEACE TO
BE TOLERATED.
ALL RUSSIA INCLUDED
VIII Continue Fight to Destroy Gov.
ernmental Autocracy and Imperial As
pirations Of Ruling Classes Through
out Europe.

Petrograd June 27.-A resolution cat
egorically rejecting any move for
separate peace between Germany and
Russia has been adopted by an over.
whelming majority of the congress OF
workmen's and soldiers deputies of all
Russia.
The resolution at the same time de.
clares that restoration Of peace at the
earliest possible day is the most import
ant need Of the Russian revolutionary
democracy.
The text of the revolution, which was
proposed by revolutionary socialists and
the Maximalist social democrats, fol-
lows:
"The present war arose in conse-
quence Of aspirations of imperialists
prevailing among the ruling classes of
Iall countries and tending toward the
usurpation Of markets and submission
to their economic and political infiu.
ence Of small and decadent nations.
War Exhausting.
''The war is leading TO complete ex-
haustion of the peoples Of all countries.
and is placing the Russian revolution
on the edge Of a precipice.
while making millions Of victims and
absorbing billions of the wealth of the
country, It threatens TO increase still
more the disorder in which Russia wos
left by the old regime, leading to fam
ine and turning the country from pro-
ductive labor for consolidation Of its
newly won liberty.
THE congress recognizes, consequent
ly, that the struggle for more rapid end
ing Of the war constitutes the most im-
portant problem for the revolutionary
Idemocracy-a problem imposed as muca
by the interests of the revolution as by
the aspirations of the workers of al;
countries TO put an end to mutual exter-
mination and restore their fraternal
union for the common struggle for COM
plete liberation Of humanity.
Would Avoid Another Cataclysm.
"The congress recognizes. first. that
ending the war by any means but de-
feat OF one OF the belligerents would
constitute the point Of departure for
fresh wars. increase dissension among
the nations and lead them TO complete
exhaustion. famine and ruin; second.
that a separate peace would strengthen
one OF the belligerents and give 1t the
possibility Of gaining a decisive victory
over the other. would strengthen aspira-
tions towards usurpation by the ruling
classes. and while liberating Russia
from the grip of worldwide imperial
ism. would hinder international unifica-
ton OF workers Consequently. the con-
gress categorically rejects every policy
tending in fact to the conclusion OF
separate peace or to It's prelude. a sep
arate armistice."
The workmen's and soldiers delegates
will send a delegation to Sweden.
France and England to prepare for the
convocation Of an international con.
gress on the basis of the program adopt

ty Of other contingents.
1t is entirely permissible to say that
they are part of the force which will be
under command Of Major General Per.
shing and for whose arrival the general
and his staff have been arranging ever
since they landed on the other side.
The American troops will be an entire

the British troops, working. OF course,
with the French at the head Of opera

When the troops have had their period
Of preparation behind the lines, they
will take place on the battle front,
to be arranged by General Pershing, in
consultation with the other military
chiefs there, and probably will very
soon be carrying the Stars and Stripes
in the assaults which steadily are driv-
ing the Germans out of France and
Belgium.
All the troops under General Per-
shins's command are regulars, and
comprise the division which President
Wilson directed to proceed to France

precautions were taken TO get the
