BALFOUR DELIVERS
 FAREWELL ADDRESS
TELLS PEOPLE THIS COUNTRY HAS WORKED FAST ON WAR
 PREPARATIONS

Washington. May 24.--In a farewell address to the American people to- day Foreign Secretary Balfour warm ly expressed thanks for the kindness and sympathy with which the Brit ish war mission has been received in the country, declared what the United States has accumulated during the 40 days since the United States en. tered the war most remarkable and said he would carry back to the allies across the water his belief that with as lit e delay as human imperfections allow the full and decisive weight of America would be thrown into the struggle for democracy.
 The message was delivered through the Washington correspondents gath. cred at the National Press Club to hear the last speech of the British statesmans visit It was spoken with evident feeling.
 Of those who say the war prepara-
 tions of the United States have pro ceeded slowly Mir. Balfour said they know very title of the actual way
 in which public life is and must be carried on in free countries"
 q think what has been accom- plished in these 40 days most remark able" he said. "lt is quite true that the executive government has been delayed by the fact that certain meas ures placed before congress took time 10 pass, some of them have not yet passed. But who is it that supposes that representative assemblies are go- ing to make great and new departures in public policy solely at the waving of wand?'
 He added that he felt confident that congress would give the president the I great powers necessary to successful conduct of the war.
 In expressing the mission's grati- | tude for the reception given them. the
 foreign minister spoke of regret Of 1 their inability to visit many sections.
 and voiced the hope that 1t might be done a6 ater and happier time. To
 the correspondents themselves and to
 the American press generally he paid a tribute for their accuracy and Ipatriotic principles

 On none of the other fronts has there been an engagement of any great importance.
 The eXhortations of the Russian minister Of war, M Kerensiy, that the Russian troops cease their attitude of passiyeness and go into the fray with the object of bringing about the neces- sary defeat Of Germany evidently are bearing fruit The entire garrison of Sebastopol Russia's big fortress and naval station n the Crtmea has re. quested unanimously that it be per mitted to go to the Riga front and give battle 10 the Germans
