George will shortly make formal state

eral and Russia in particular, may
know eXa city what the nations war
aims are.
The Liberal press was strongly urg-
ing such an outline today and author
itative information was that it had
been decided upon by the government.
While Premier Ribot of France
clearly announced that republics war
aims, President Wilson has forwarded
formal note to Petrograd which 1t is
believed here outlines the position OF
the United States. A similar specific
and lucid statement from England and
affirmations from Italy, Belgium and
other allies, will mean a complete an
swer will have been returned to the
recent demand of the Russian soldiers
and workmen's council that all of
Russias allies restate their war aims
and peace ideals.
The British press, without exception.
today Gpplauded Premier Ribot's
speech OF yesterday and the action of
thu French chamber of deputies in
affirming Frances intention to con-
tinue vigol Gus prosecution of the war
until he- lost provinces had been re-
claimed ard her war aims fully re-
allied.

SOCIALISTS IN RIOT
'PeaceabIe Demonstration Winds Up
in Pitched Battle in Stockholm.

Stockholm, June 6.-Ten thousand
Socialists and laborers rioted in the
royal square Tuesday afternoon when
the premier of the lower house of par
Lament refused the election of the
Socialist leader, Branting, to the upper
house.
A number were wounded by sabers
welded by police and soldiers.
A big force of guards was hastily
summoned to the palace and parlia-
ment when the mob began giving indi-
cations of violence. The parade had
started as a peaceable demonstration,
but when the crowd found it's progress
barred to approaches to the palace
and the parliament buildings. their
temper changed. Stones were thrown
at the police and soldiers and there
were several spirited clashes.
The guards, however, were strong
enough to repel all attempts of the
mob to rush the parliament buildings.
1t is in Stockholm where pro-Ger-
man Socialists are now holding a
world peace conference.
