MINISTER OF JUSTICE kERENskY MAKES THE SUGGEsTIcN-PEo
 PILE COULD SETTLE WAR.
MILUKOFF MAKES STATEMENT
Members of New Russian Government Say That If Germans Expect Sepa- rate Peace Under Present Condi-
 tions They Will Be Disappointed.

etrograd.-Minister of Justice Ker- ensky said in an interview that if the German people would follow the Rus sian example and dethrone their em- peror, i've offer the possibility of pre- liminary negotiations"
 This statement was embodied in an announcement by the official news agceny, which reads:
 "On Thursday, according to news from Copenhagen, Dr. Eduard David, speaking on behalf of the majority part of the Social Democrats in the German Reichstag, declared that For eign Minister Milukoff and his SUD- porters were Germanophobes, and that consequently the Social Democrats based their hopes on M Kerensky (Russian minister of justice) and M. Tcheidse Ga Socialist leader in the Duma). On this subject M Kerensky made the following declaration to a party of journalists:
 From the incomplete information supplied by the press, it is difficult to form a sound opinion. It all depends on Knowing what are the hopes that Deputy David founds on me and M. Tcheidse.
 If he supposes we are going to as- sist in making a separate peace hs will be rudely disappointed. If, on the other hand, he hopes the German people are about to follow our ex- ample and dethrone their emperor, We can do no other than warmly applaud, for that would greatly free our hands and offer the possibility of enterting on preliminary negotiations.
 am convinced that the peoples who are engaged in this unexampled war will more easily come to an un- derstanding and more quickly obtain satisfactory results than the mon archs who are primarily responsible for this cruel carnage"

ENTRY OF THE UNITED STATES INTO WAR IS CHEERED IN
 COMMONS.
PREMIER ADDRESSES BODY
Whole House Arises and Cheers For President Wilson and United States President Poincare Sends Greet
 ing To United States.

ris.-EXtraordinary scenes Of ell thusiasm for the United States were witnessed in both houses of Parlia- ment. Not since the historic session of August 4, 1914, has there been a parallel
 Alexandre Ribo, the venerable pre- mier, arose after the chamber met impressive tones to the silent assem- blaze which filled every part of the house. The deputies listened with lln- broken attention until the first men, tion of the United States. Then they broke out in applause. At first it was a decorous clapping of hands, and then the whole house spontaneously arose, cheering for the United States and President Wilson
 The American ambassador, William c. Sharp, was in the diplomatic gal lery. The deputies turned toward him and the demonstration continued Tine ambassador stood up and bowed and the cheering was redoubled in inten- sity.
 President Poincare of France had sent the following cablegram to Pres ident Wilson:
 "At the moment when, under the generous inspiration of yourself, the great American republic, faithful to it's ideals and it's traditions, is coming forward to defend with the force of arms the cause of justice and of lib erty, the people of France are filled with the deepest feelings of brotherly appreciation.
 Permit me again to convey to you, MT. President, in this solemn and grave hour, an assurance of the same sentiments of which I recently gave you evidence, sentiments which, un- der the present circumstances have grown in. depth and warmth.
 'I am confident that I voice the thought of all France in expressing to you and to the American nation the joy and the pride which we feel today as our hearts once again beat in unison with yours.
 "This war would not have reached it's final import had not the United States been led by the enemy himself to take part in it. To every impartial spirit it will be apparent, in the fu- ture more than ever in the past, that German imperialism, which desired, prepared and declared this war, had conceived the mad dream of establish. ing it's hegemony throughout the world. It has succeeded only ill bringing about a revolt of the con- science of humanity
 "In never-to-be-forgotten language you have made yourself, before the universe, the eloquent interpreter of outraged laws and menaced civiliza- tion.
 Honor to you, MT. President, and to your noble country. 1 beg you to believe in my devoted friendship.
 (Signed)
 HAMMOND POINCARE."

Pointed Sarcasm.
(Boston Globe.)

The German people must have slept
more easily for the assurance from the
quasi-imperisl lips of Chancellor Won
Bethmsnn-H ollweg that, II the United
States should make the unrestricted sub
marine warfare cause for war, the re-
sponsibility is on the shoulders of Uncle
Sam.
Once more, it seems, the sword may
be forced into the reluctant hands of
Germany, lover of peace and sunlight.
Once more are injustice and abuse the
lot of poor Potsdsm. We In America
are to blame.
1t was the United States who, when
international law seemed to impede the
full freedom Of its submarine warfare,
tore up that law and sent to their graves
German women and children, neutral
passengers on an unsrmed ship. 1t was
the United States that, promising to al
ter Its practices, retracted those sssur-
ances when occasion served and struck
again and again at Germsny's neutral
ships, killed German men and women in
peaceful pursuits.
They were surely American bombs
that destroyed German factories and
storehouses, or in German ports were
placed in friendly merchant ships. They
were Acknowledgements who, under
cover OF German rights, directed pro-
American, snti-German propaganda
through the Empire.
Potsdam can do no wrong; all good Is
on Its side, and evil only on the side OF
Its enemies. Thus saith the imperial
Chancellor, and Germany, it Is to be
feared, still viewing the world, like the
Lady of Shalott, only as reflected in the
distorting imperial mirror, may believe
him.
No doubt Germany did not and does
not desire war with rs; yet she prefer
red such war to the abatement of her
U-boat policy. No doubt she would not
now directly attack the United States;
but she has repeatedly attacked US In at
lacking our ships-and she does not
propose TO do otherwise.
Any hope that the Chancsllor's speech
would indicate disposition to remove
the cause of conflict is now dead. Ger
many holds to her ruthlessness, dis
avows only the desire for war. Ours,
says the Chancellor, is the responsible
