RUSSIA AND AMERICA
 TO FIGHT TOGETHER
 AGAINST MILITARISM
Continued From Page One)

Il and we cherish above all our posses sions the ideal for which our fathers fought and suffered and sacrificed that America might be free.
 ''The news of Russia's new found freedom brought to America univer- sal satisfaction and joy. From all the land sympathy and hope went out to the new sister in the circle of democ- racies. And the mission is sent to | express that feeling.
 "The American democracy sends to the democracy of Russia a greeting of sympathy, friendship, brotherhood, Godspeed. Distant America knows lit tie of the special conditions of Rus sian life which must give form to the government and laws which you are about to create. As we have devel- oped our institutions to serve the needs of our national character and life, so we assume that you will devel- op your institutions to serve the needs of Russian character and life.
 U. S. Believes In Russia.
 "As we look across the sea we dis tinguish no party, no class. We see great Russia as a whole; as one mighty. striving aspiring democracy. We know the self control. essential kindliness. strong common sense, courage and noble idealism of the Rus sian character.
 we have faith in you all. We pray Gods blessing upon you all. We be- lieve you will solve your problems, that you will maintain your liberty and that our two great nations will march side by side in the triumphant progress of democracy until the old order everywhere has passed away and the world is free.
 "One fearful danger threatens the liberty of both nations. The armed forces of a military autocracy are at the gates of Russia and the allies. The triumph of German arms will mean the death of liberty in Russia. No enemy is at the gates of America. but America has come to realize that the triumph of German arms means the 
 who love liberty and would keep it must fight for it, and fight for it nov when the free democracies of the world may be strong in union and not delay until they may be beaten sep arately in succession.
 America Will Fight.
 50 America sends another message to Russia-That we are going to fight and have already begun to fight for your freedom equally with our own. and we ask you to fight. for our free dom equally with yours. We would make your cause ours and our cause yours, and, with a common purpose and mutual helpfulness of a firm al liance, make sure of victory over our common foe.
 You will recognize your own senti- Iments and purposes in the words of President Wilson to the American congress when on the second of last April hes advised declaration of war against Germany He said: We are accepting this challenge of hostile purpose because we know that in such q government (the German govern ment) following such methods, We can never have a friend; and that in the presence of its organized power. al ways lying in wait to accomplish we know not what purpose, there can be no assured security for the democratic governments of world We are now about to accept the gage of battle with this natural foe to liberty, and shall, if necessary. spend the whole force of the nation to check and nullify its pretensi0ns and it's power. We are glad, now, that we see the facts with no veil of false pretense about them. to fight thus for the ultimate peace of the world and for the liberation of its peoples, the German peoples included; 1; for the rights of nations, great and small. and the privilege of men every where to choose their way of life and of obedience.
 World Must Be Safe.
 "'The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of polit ical liberty. We have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no conquest, nc domination. We seek no indemnities for ourselves, no material cOmpensa ton for the sacrifices we shall freely make. We are but one of the champ ions of the rights of mankind. We shall be satisfied when those rights have been made as secure as the faith and the freedom of nations can make | them
 And you will see the feeling toward Ruscsia which America has entered the conflict when President Wilson further declared:
 Does not every American feel that assurance has been added to our hope for the future peace of the world by the wonderful and heartening things that have been happening within the ast few weeks in Russia.
 Partnership of Honor.
