WILSON'S NOTE TO RUSSIA IS
 WELL RECEIVED U. s. Commissioners Are Now in Petrograd
 To Help Russ
 Troubles. DIVERSE VIEWS HELD Separate Peace Is Threat Held by Russians Over Head of the Allied
 Countries.
(By WILLIAM G. SHEPARD)

(By WILLIAM G. SHEPARD) Correspondent of the United Press
 PETROGRAD. June 14.-Russia is now relying on the American com mission which reached here last night to clear up the diverse views regarding President Wilson's note and also to bring order out of the present chaotic conditions.
 Regarding the note of President Wilson, most papers hailed tho mes sage in glowing terms of eulogy, but the Soldiers and Workmens' Gazette is frank in declaring its disbelief in one portion of the message.
 President Wilson," the Gazette editorially asserted, says the Ger mans are intriguing to divide the Allies We do not believe this old story. We believe only in that there is class struggle between the world workingmen and imperialism. We must say that in the notes from France and England we do not see any expression as to the Russian principle of no annexation.
 In strong contrast to this expres- sion was the following from the Recht President Wilson's mes sage is in plain language without any tricks of diplomacy. The true language of democracy speaks as the true democracy must speak throughout the world. Radical ant Socialist messages from America England and France do not put u: in a good light. Both our friends and our enemies regard Russia as powerless. Russia has declared al ultimatum to the Allies, but onl, France is behind this and our power is our threat of a separate peace"

Dive Trade Lost to Germany.

The Du Pont Powder Company, it is
learned has made plans to make America
and its war allies absolutely independent
of Germany in the manufacture of chem
icals and dyes after the world war comes
to an end. Its vast chains of munition
factories in the East will be devoted to
the making of many lines of chemicals
of which Germany up to 1914 held a
world monopoly.
This fact became known as a result of
the Du Points offer to manufacture pow
der and high explosives for the American
War Department at price of five cents
under the cost of production in the Gov
eminent powder plants at Indian Head,
Md Agents of the Du Points, in ex-
planning the low figure, said that the
chemists in their laboratories, who have
been gathered from all over the world,
have opened the way for the utilization
of all by-products and waste in powder
manufacturing and now their mills are
turning out substitutes for leather and
rubber and are producing a great pro-
portion of the dyes needed in the United
States, with the exception of blues and
reds. They added that the Du Pont
chemists expected to develop these
colors before many months.

Must Control The Air.

1t is now declared that to win the war,
the United States must control the air.
that is, we must manufacture air crafts
and train thousands of men to handle
them, in numbers sufficient to overcome
Germany's air craft feet. To this end
the sum of $500, 900, 900 has been asked
for by the Defense Councils Air Craft
Board, and President Wilson has been
asked to put his support behind the great
project.
Under the plan the United States
would become Immediately great ele-
mentary training base for all the Allies
and enormous numbers of training ma
chimes would be turned out while Amer
lean plants are developing service able
battle-craft type. By next spring the
board proposes to have the Allies ready
to literally drive the Germans from the
air.

Billions For Liberty.
Great Rush Made BY People To
Subscribe To Loan.

The great drive made by the Govern
ment to secure the sum of 81, QUO, 900, 600
for war purposes ended Friday of last
week. The American people responded
to the Governments call for funds, g.
600, 900 persons having applied for Liberty
Bonds through their various banks or
other agencies aiding in the floating OF
this big loan.
The loan has been over-subscribed
many millions of dollars, the first an
nouncement being close to So, 600, OOO, GOO.
Latest reports are that the over-sub-
scription was $500, 100000.
1t is stated that every person asking
for bond will be supplied, bnt the per-
sons asking for the $50 variety will be
given preference, the big amounts to be
paired to accommodate the little fellow.
The loan was for the largest amount
any nation in the world, since the world
began, ever asked of its people in one
block. The rate of interest was only 80
per cent. The bonds were offered to a
people unframed to buy Government Sc
curities. Under our old system practical
" the whole market for Government
bonds was with the national banks and
the people never got in the habit of buy
ing them, as the French people of all
classes have for years. Then, too, there
were some very obvious defects in the
manner In which the campaign for the
loan was conducted by the Treasury De-
partment, due doubtless to inexperience.
Considering these things the result Is all
the more remarkable.

Won't Be Ready Sept. |.
Portion of Draft Army to BE

Simultaneous construction of Is war
armv environments, each to house about
40, 900 troops, has proved such an enor-
nous task that officials do not now be-
lieve it can be completed in time to per-
nit mobilization of the first full quota
of $50, 900 men by September l.
Whether any of the men selected un-
der the draft will be called out until the
government is ready to begin training OF
the entire first quota has not been reveal
ed. 1t is believed, however, that even If
all the environments are not complete by

be summoned in advance of the others.
Work on the environments will 60 for
ward as rapidly as possible and War De-
partment offic ials are hopeful that if all
have not been completed by September
/. they will be ready soon after that date.
The task has been surrounded with
many unexpected difficulties. The de-
partment has been under fire from COM
munities which hoped for cantonment
sites and has been deluged with cores
pondence from contractors seeking q
share in the work. There have been
conflicting opinions as to types OF build
ings, the present plan for two-story
company buildings to house together the
100 men of each infantry company hav-
ing met with objection from the medical
section of the Defense Advisory Council
on the ground that not enough air space
would be allowed.
Whatever may be the final decision on
such problems the preliminary work will
be the same and army orders show addi-
tional officers assigned to the construct.
