FOES PERIL RUSSIANS
SLAvS WARNED OF DANGER BY
NEW GOVERNMENT.
Petrograd Declares Expansion Idea
Has Been Abandoned--To Fight
for Liberty.

Petrograd, April 1.-THE provision
al government has issued lengthy
proclamation directing attention to
the grave danger of German effort
to deliver a decisive blow at Russia
and the necessity of Immediately con-
centrating all Of Russia's forces for
the defeat of the enemy.
Russia has renounced all idea of ter
ritorial expansion, according to
statement Of Minister of Justice Ker-
ensky.
The proclamation issued By the Rus
sian provisional government reads:
Having examined the military stu
alton the Russian government in the
name of duty and country has decided
to tell the people directly and openly
the whole truth.
"The regime which now has been
overthrow left the defense of the
country in badly disorganized condi-
ton. BY its culpable inaction and its
inept measures 1t introduced disorgan-
ization into our finances, into provi-
sioning and the transport and supply
of munitions to the army. 1t weak
ened the whole of our economic organi-
cation.
1.-THE provisional government with
the active cooperation of the whole
nation will devote all its energies to
repair the serious consequences of the
oIA ha hInnI Of
Of the fatherland has been shed free
ly in the course of these two and
half years of war, but the country still
is capable Of powerful blow at the
enemy who occupies whole territories
of our state and is now--ln the days of
birth of Russian liberty-threatening
us with a new and decisive thrust.
"The government deems 1t to be It's
right duty to declare now that free
Russia does not aim at the domina-
ton of other nations, at depriving
them to their national patrimony or at
occupying by force foreign territories,
but that its object is to establish a
durable peace on rights Of nations to
decide their own destiny.
1.-The Russian nation does not lust
after the strengthening of its power
abroad at the expense of other nations.
It's aim is not to subjugate or humil-
late anyone. In the name of the high
er principles of equity, 1t has removed
the chains which weighed upon the
Polish people. But the Russian ma
ton will not allow its fatherland to
come out of the great struggle humil-
lated and weakened in its vital forces.
"These principles will constitute the
basis of the foreign policy of the pro-
visional government which will carry
out the popular will while observing
the engagements entered into with our
allies.
1.-THE provisional government Of free
Russia has no right to hide the truth.
The state is in danger. Every effort
must be made to have it let the coun-
try respond to the truth when 1t is
told, not by sterile depressions and not
by Encouragement, but by unanimous
vigor with view to creating a united
national will.
"The provisional government, which
has given its solemn oath to serve the
people, Is firmly confident that with
the general and unanimous support Of
each one and all 1t will itself be able
to do its duty to its country to the
end. LVOFF,
