ROOT TO BEGIN VITAL PARLEYS
 IN PETR0CRAO
Conferences in Russian Cap. ital May Decide That
 Country's Part in War.

Washington, June 14.-The Root commission arrived in Petrograd yes. terday and the Russian commission has reached the United States.
 The visitors were met at a Pacific port on behalf of the American gov. ernment by Jefferson Caffrey, of the diplomatic service. At Chicago the party will be officially welcomed to America by the third assistant secre- tary of state. Breckenridge Long
 A series of important conferences will begin immediately in Petrograd, according to advices reaching here, They may determine the part Russia Is to play in the war. The confer ences here will be subsidiary to those in Petrograd, the dealings be- tween the United States and. the Rus sian commission being contingent upon the results of the Petrograd sessions.
 The route taken by the Root com mission to reach the Russian capital was made known officially for the first time yesterday. The party went to Puget Sound port, where they boarded an American warship. A quick trip was made across the Pacific to lVladtvostok, the Russian port in Manchuria. No stop was made in Japan, as had been expected At yladivostok the Root party boarded special train on the Trans-Siberian railway, going direct to Petrograd.
 The route of the Russian mission en route to Washington will be closely guarded by the authorities. The same precautions are being taken as were observed in the cases of the French, British and Italian missions.
 With his personal staff Ambassado dor Bakhmetieff will be the guest of the nation and the large body of special experts and attaches will be quartered in one of the hotels here.
 The head of the Russian mission comes to Washington in double ca pacity, first as the head of the extra ordinary embassy sent by the pro- visional government to extend to the United States government it's thanks for entry into the war on the side of the Entente Allies and to arrange for material assistance from this country and second, as Ambassador resident until such time as the provisional government can make a permanent
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-06-14

appointment.
 Professor Bakhmetieff has kept closely in touch by cable and wireless with 1ne progress of events in Petro- grad, and it can be stated that conse- ouently the extraordinary embassy is in close and sympathetic relation with the powers now in control in the Rus sian capital.
 The principal questions to pc oeait with at the sessions here will be rail- roads and credit. America Is pre- nared to lend Russia all the assistance that may be needed to bring her rail- roads LID to the war requirements, while most of the money which Rus sia seeks to borrow here probably will be spent on railroad equipment in this cQuntrY.
