 pended Upon to Do Its Part in the
 War.

Washington, Aug s.-Russia, newest of the democracies, grows stronger of heart and purpose daily, and with aid from the United States, can be depended upon to do her part in the great war and emerge powerful state. This was the message brought to President Wilson and Secretary Lansing today by E1ihu Root. and his fellow members of the American mis- sion sent to Russia three months ago.
 Unqualified encoura cement from the United States, moral and financial, when necessary, is absolutely essen tta1 to keeping life in the new govern ment the commission agreed. A separate peace with Germany obvious y Is the greatest fear Left to fight along with her present government in control. the president was told. Russia will emerge triumphant and strong, but f. either by great masses of troops or clever propaganda. Ger many should accomplish the overthrow of the Kerensky government the out look would be dark indeed.
 Only one written report. t is un- derstood, was submitted to Secretary Lansing. It was not made public and may not be From high sources it is sion was agreed on virtually all essen tfais- There may have been differ ences of opinion as to the best method of obtaining results, but the opinion
 
 for the future was unanimous.
 None was stronger in his conviction that there is the greatest hope for Russia than MT Root himself Though conservative by virtue of long dipIo- nnatic and political experience. it was with difficulty that he suppressed his enthusiasm Other members of the marty who shared his optimism and discussed their views were Charles Edward Russell a former socialist: James Duncan. 2 labor leader. and Major Stanley Washburn, a man of long experience in Russian affairs The latter two agreed that one great need of Russia Is publicity regarding Amer fca's intentions in the war.
 Mir Russell went a little farther than the others. declaring emphatical- Iv in favor of sending American troops said their presence would be of the greatest value in stren ngthening the morale Of the Russians.
 The military members Of the mis- sion. needed by Major General Hugh Scott had a thrilling story to :ell of They were under fire during one of the great offensives launched after the new government took the reins.
 The mission. headed by Mir. Root called at the White House at four o'clock in the afternoon and remain ed with the president about an hour Members of the National Woman's Party made futile attempts to use a banner addressed to Mir Root but he entered and left the White House yard by a side gate while the women waited for him out in front

of Brody, in Galicia northeast of Lem berg.
 The Russian forward movement west of Chotin resulted in the cap ture of two villages and a height. The Austro- Germans lost 300 prisoners and four machine guns. The Teuton' S effort near Brody penetrated the Rus sian lines, but the attackers were thrown back by a counter-atta and the Russian lines restored.
 A newspaper report from Petrograd says that the Russians have evacuated the fortress of Kamenetz- -Podolsk, the capital of Podolia, about 30 miles northeast of. Chotin, and the garrison town of Proskurov, on the Bug River, 5 miles north of Kamenetz-Podolsk Both these places are some distance from the line of the River Zbrocz, which has been held in part by the Russians for more than a week, and lie behind the Chotin-Brody line.
