ADHERENCE TO THE ALLIES
Boris A. BakhmetieH Presents Credentials
to President Wilson as First
Envoy of New State.

Presenting his credentials to President
Wilson yesterday as the first diplomatic
representative here of the Russian democ-
racy. Boris A. Bakhmetieff assured the
President of Russia's firm adherence to
the alliance against Germany.
Ambassador Bakhmetieff was formally
received as the envoy OF the new Russia.
and he was told by the President that this
country has every confidence in the pur-
poses of the new government.
The formal ceremony of yesterday gives
the ambassador a permanent status in
place of his temporary position as head of
the Russian war mission. Other members
of the mission will become permanent

members of the new ambassadors staff.

sador to the President. The ceremony
took place in the blue room of the White
House, and the President was surrounded
by his military and naval aids.
Drawn Closer Together.
AT the present time" said Mr.. Bakh-
metieff, addressing the President, 1.-The
historical paths of the United States and
Russia have been drawn close in the
common struggle for freedom and lasting
peace of the world. and in this strife the
newborn Russian democracy is being
guided by the same unselfish aims. the
same human and democratic principles, as
this great republic.
makes essential the firm establishment
of the democratic regime in Russia as
well as the consolidation of Russias
fighting power. To that end are tending
the efforts of the provisional govern
ment. which is awaiting to find a
source of new strength in the hearty
spirit and brotherly support of the
United States. For such attachments
the provisional government is en-
deavoring to establish a full under
standing and a close cooperation with
the government of this country. whose
immense resources and unlimited en-
ergy can contribute most effectively to
the achievements of our cause. To
bring such cooperation into effect and
to establish means of common activity
on the most practical lines and with
no loss of time. the provisional gov
eminent has considered it necessary to
bestow on me exceptional powers to
treat and decide, on behalf of my gov
eminent. all manifold questions in
which such cooperation should have
to reveal itself.
Confident that the natural SYM
pathy of the two nations will grow
into bonds of solid friendship, look
forward with the greatest hopes to
the results of united efforts of the two

The President replied as follows:
ITO the keen satisfaction which I de-
rived from the fact that the government
of the United States was the first to
welcome, by its official recognition, the
new democracy of Russia to the family
of free states is added the exceptional
pleasure which 1 experience now in re-

For the people of Russia the people

TELLS WOMEN Of NEED
TO CONSERVE WHEAT
Sydney Snow Of Boston, Represent
ing Food Administration, Speaks at
First of Educational Meetings.

Pointing out how the crop of wheat
how the supply from South America is
short and could not be transported any
way, Sydney Snow Of Boston, repre-
senting the food administration. told an
audience of Washington women yester-
day that Upon North America alone
the allies now depend for their neces-
sary supply Of wheat"
Mr.. Snow, a volunteer worker in the
Office of food conservation, spoke be-
fore the first of a series of educational
meetings arranged by the women's
committee of the District council of de-
tense. held at the New National Mu-
scum. The next meeting will be Mon
day at the boardroom in the District
building.
Europe cannot cut down her con-
sumption more than she already has
DONE" Mr.. Snow said. "She has reached
the apex of her sacrifice. We can sup
ply half her need by cutting down our
consumption.
Not Asked to Give Up Bread.
Now it is not asked of us that we
give up wheat. 1t is only asked that
each home reduce it's weekly consump-
ton by one loaf That alone will mean
100.e00,0 900 bushels Of wheat for our
allies. Neither is it asked that we go
corn bread. rye bread or potato bread
for wheat bread. All are palatable."
Mr.. Snow said that 1t is Mr.. Hoover's
frn belief that the nation will achieve
this saving by volunteer effort, and
that no bread tickets or other rationing
allowance system will be needed here.
The hard thing is not the giving up
of the few Injuries we are asked to do
without" he said. 1.-The hard thing is
the pulling together SO that our acts
may be effective"
Present Prices Will Be Lowered.
Present high prices will be lowered
when the food bill passes. Mr.. Snow
predicted. He said the bill contem-
plated elimination of speculation in
foods.
Il am in hearty sympathy with the
man who said he would rather COM
Tand a German U-boat at this time
than speculate in foodstuffs," Mr.. Snow
continued.
We must remember, too. that present
conditions bring about much that seems
like speculation because uncertainty of
what the future holds drives men to
try to protect themselves against what
may happen. Unchecked, I firmly be-
1ieve. prices would go SO high that you

BALTIMORE, July e.-Dr. Joseph s.
Ames. professor Of physics at Johns
Hopkins University and chairman Of
the commission Of scientists appointed
by this government to study the con-
duct Of tho war in France. stated here
last night, after a number of confer
ences in Washington. that speed and
size in airplanes will end the war
most quickly.
He said the United States must fur
nish 10000 pilots and. at tho lowest.
10000 airplanes and maintain this av-
erage in the face of casualties. Each
pilot. he said. must have two planes.
THE situation" said DR.. Ames, rs
summed up in an interview which l
decision lies in the air, and complete
victory can only be won by 10000 or
more fighting airplanes with which
enemy aircraft can be annihilated. This
achievement will be worthy Of Amer
lea and is a contribution which she Is
capable of making. and will give her
an enviable position at the peace
table,"
Must Be Carried Out This Year.
DR.. Ames said the program must be
of this year He said no difficulty was
anticipated in getting pilots. and that of
the three classes of planes. this coun-
try is able to furnish the school and
observation planes, and would be able
to furnish fighting planes before 1913.
He said the American people cannot
appreciate the tremendous scale on
which things are being done abroad.
ITO illustrate" he said. "in some
places the British battle line in France
is forty miles deep. and I have seen
trains of motor lorries twenty miles
long and train of nine-inch guns
six miles long"
Speaking of the general work OF his
commission, he said:
"There is a captive balloon every
five miles along the west front. Yep
pelins, which are useful as naval
scouts. have been a complete failure
as military weapons.
Locating Guns by Sound Waves.
Another problem was tho location
of big guns by means of sound waves.
To illustrate the value of research
along this line, in the battle Of Mes
sines sixty-three big guns were 10
Gated and destroyed by this means.
The location of mines is important.
Wireless telegraphy with airplanes;
methods Of detecting submarines and
offensive and defensive devices Tor I'M
dersea craft. and new optical instru-
ments are other matters which had to
be studied"
The other members of the commission
were engaged in equally valuable re-
search work, and DIR. Ames told of the
work of DIR. Harry Fielding Reid Of
Johns Hopkins.
"Dr. Reid" he said. has Investigated
methods of making maps, and the uses
made of the science of meteorology at
the front.
AT Messines the location Of mines
was so carefully chosen that by reason
of the Quicksands which surrounded
them the Germans could not blow them
up. DIR. Reid also brought back the lat
est seismo illogical instruments to use in
connection with guns and mines.
