Washington, Aug. .. Emphatic
American troops be sent to the east
ern front was brought home by all
except one member of the American
mission to Russia.
1t was aulhoritatively stated tonight
hat Charles Edward Russell is the
only commissioner who believes it de-
sirable to put soldiers from the Unit
ed States in Russia and that the 9TH
ers are convinced that their presence
would be detrimental rather than
helpful to the armies of the new de-
mocracy. Elihu Root and his associ-
lates on the mission lunched with Sec
retary Lansing today and told him
more of their experiences and conclu-
sions. Their written report. submit
ted to President Wilson yesterday,
probably will not be made public.
Encouragement Needed.
Organization and encouragement.
and not men, it was explained tonight,
are Russia's needs in the opinion Of
the majority of the commissioners
with 100000 men under arms,
they think Russia requires no more
soldiers, particularly she does not need
a few thousand strange soldiers,
speaking an unfamiliar tongue, draw
ing better pay and eating better food
than her own men. AS an aid TO act4
ual fighting, II was pointed out the
small number of American troops
that could be maintained in Russia
~nuld he 'nf little or no value.
Lending assistance to the men now
in the field, rather than putting more
men there to drain the already scant
supplies, Is the duty of this country
the commissioners feel Rolling stock
for the railroads to carry supplies and
equipment to the native soldiers, and
the supplies themselves are the real
requirements and they will grow.
Both Russian and Rumanians forces
will need supplies and eGuiprnCnt
worse next winter than they do today
and of course, the transportation
problems will then be greater also
Americans Attacked.
OF the greatest Importance, the
commissioners say, is constant en-
couragement from citizens and the
newspapers of the United States. Anti
American propagandists, headed by
former residents of this country and
now financed bv German money, are
seeking to paint Americans in the
blackest shade and thus discourage
Rrssians from accepting their good
offices.
The story of the origin of this ex-
traordinary propaganda is vouched for
bv every member of the commission.
Shortly after the outbreak of the rev.
| olution, it is declared. the propaRan-
dists, composed chiefly of socialists
favorable to abolishing all present
forms of government and establish
ing without delay, rule by the brother
| hood of man, returned to their native
land and began berating the uniteo
States and its people Germans ouicR
to see advantage of controlling these
agitators, began supplying them with
! money. and today, flush with wealth
they are going through Russtas spread
ing the most vicious canards.

Washington, Aug. 9.-The govern

Officials are divided in their opin-
ions as to whether the government
can enforce the plan respecting allied
purchases without the support OF ad-
ditional legislation. The national de-
fense act gives II power to comman-
deer supplies for war purposes, but
in some circles II Is held this would
not give authority for the govern
eminent to requisition materials and
resell them to its associates in the
war.
Negotiations Undertaken.
The hope OF the war board, which
reflects the attitude OF the adminis-
tiation, is that industry will be
brought over through negotiations and
that no new law will be required. This
applies also to the ADMINISTRATORS

general public obtains Its goods at

sens Army,


On none of the battle fronts OF
Europe has the fighting activity of
the last twenty-four hours been
marked, In Flanders, however. the
great artillery battle continues most
violently, seemingly preparing the
way for further heavy infantry ac-
tivity.
The only infantry engagement in
Flanders has taken place on the line
between Ypres and DiXmude with the
French troops the aggressors in both
instances, Northwest of BiXschoote
the French have enlarged further the
gains made on Wednesday. South
west of Bixschoote, i'm the region
south of Langemarck, the French
troops have made some progress into
the Germantline.
Useless 20 Attack.
Terrain conditions in Flanders
made more difficult by the rains
of the last ten days, are such that
without the destruction of enemy de-
fenses by artillery fire. il is nearly
useless to throw forward infantry at
tacks. There are Indications that the
Anglo-French guns of all calibers are
engaged in levelling the German de-
fense positions. The German general
staff reports the artillery fire in Elan
ders as very great and says it has
been especially heavy on the Belgian
coast and from Bixschoote to Holle-
beke The latter sector takes in most
of the important Ypres salient.
Except for several local raids by
the French, there has been no infan-
try activity on the long line from st.
Quentin to the Swiss border. The
French and Gtiman guns. however,
are hammering the opposing lines
along the Aisne front, in Champagne
and both banks OF the Meuse in the
Verdun region.
Russians Effective.
Apparently the Russians have
checked greatly the Austro-German
advance in Galicia and Bukowina, as
no notable advances have been made
by the Teutons since the Russian line
stiffened. To the south in Moldavia
the Russians and Rumanians are at
tempting to re-occupy the positions
Eorth of Fokshani, lost to Field Mar
shal Makensen's men They have at
