States Says New Offensive Soon
Is to Be Launched.

enemy
Prof Rakhmetieff is at the head of

with the government and continue the
war to the victory which was essential
to the salvation of Russia.
"Russia's war aims are similar to
Americas he continued. "As sister
democracies they are fighting hand-fn-
hand. l am going to America with
complete diplomatic powers. 1 shall
take up questions of munitions, sup
plies and finance.
II need scarcely emphasize our pro-
found appreciation of Americas help
at the hour of the upbuilding of our
democracy"

Rhineland Who Talk Brotherliness

LONDON, May 3O.-A dispatch to the
Daily Telegraph from Rotterdam says
a new movement by the leading Rhine
land Catholics. ostensibly designed to
renew relations between the German
and Belgian Catholics, has brought
forth the following declaration from
Cardinal MERCER, primate of Belgium:
Catholics over the frontier. who have
not found single word of disapproval
for those who slaughtered people in
Belgium and shot down priests-these
Catholics who for three years have
looked on with folded arms at the
martyrdom of people-now are sing
ing hymns of brotherliness, peace and
forgetfulness. But 1t is our duty to
press for the restitution of violated
rights. punishment for the guilty and
for means to make a repetition i'm
possible. II we did otherwise we
would be sharing in the guilt for the
misdeeds of our enemies. The hour
for the exercise of mercy can only
strike when wrong has been righted
and when contrition Is shown and PEN
ance is accepted"
