Notable Visit

A PACIFIC PORT Aug 4--The United
states diplomatic mission, headed by Elihu
Root was back on American soil today
Tho members arrived in the harbor last
night and remained aboard the vessel until
this morning. The Governor of the State
and the Mayor Of the city went aboard the
vessel to greet the diplomats.
1--WE made progress" was the only state
ment Chairman Root would make when he
came ashore today, He will make his re-
port direct to President Wilson.
That the commission felt that Its work
in Russia was not In vain was indicated
by the various members of the commission.
The mission. which will leave for WASH
ington shortly, will be entertained at a civic
luncheon today.
Most Of the trouble In Russia has been
caused by Russians naturalzed as Amer
leans who have returned to Russia since the
outbreak Of the revolution" Charles Ed
ward Russell, Socialist writer and lee
trrer and member of the mission, declared
Russell said Russia had been flooded with
German money and the Russians from the
United States had spread the report
throughout the country that America had
entered the war for "sordid reasons"
These propagandists," Russell contin-
ued, who pretend to have an intimate
knowledge of American conditions and
American motives. inform their native
countrymen that the Government of the
United States is more oppressive than the
old regime at Petrograd

"The situation had improved consider.
ably before the commission left Petrograd
and more and more the Russian Socialists
were beginning to realize that the world
must be made safe for democracy before
any sound progress can be made in the
line Of social betterment. The more mod
crate Socialists in Russia, as in the United
States, are coming to understand that the
foundation of all social reform in any civ.
ilized country must be democracy, which
now is threatened with extinction"

Senator Pichon, in the Petit journal,
says "Michaelis, who apparently imag-

revealed his cumsiness and provided NJ
Ribot with an opportunity to repeat what
the whole world knows; namely. that we
mean to obtain a peace founded on the
rights of nations and that will carry with
1t reparation for the havoc wrought and
guarantees against future aggressions."
Gustave Herve, in the Victoire, says:
"If the Germans don't understand Ribot's
language they will certainly understand
that spoken to them yesterday by the
British French and Belgian armies ON the
battlefield of Flanders"
