RUSSIA NOT IN NEED
OF ]. S. TROOPS
But One Commissioner Favors
Sending Them.
ALL THE REST DISSAPPROvE
Organization and Encouragement, Not
Men, Russia's Needs, In the
Opinion OF Majority Of
the Commissioners.

Washington.-Emp disapproval
OF the suggestion that American troops
be sent to the eastern front was
brought home by all except one Of the
members OF the American mission to
Russia.
II was authoritatively stated that
Charles Edward Russell is the only
commissioner who believes it desir-
able to put soldiers from the United
States in Russia and that the others
are convinced that their presence
would be detrimental rather than help
ful to the armies of the new demo
cracy.
Elihu Root and his associates on
the mission lunched with Secretary
Lansing and told him more of their
experiences and conclusions. Their
written report, submitted to President
Wilson, probably will not be made
public.
Organization and encouragement,
and not men, II was explained, are
Russias needs in the opinion of the
majority of the commissioners.
Ten Million Under Arms.
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
tual fighting, II was pointed out, the
small number OF American troops that
could be maintained in Russia would
be of 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
Russia and Roumanian forces will
need supplies and equipment worse
next winter than they do today, and
of course, the transportation problems
then will be greater also.
Agitators Hired BY Germans.
OF the greatest Importance the COM
missioners say is constant encourage
ment from citizens and the newspa-
pers of the United States. Anti
American propagandists, headed by
former residents of this country and
now financed by German money, are
seeking to paint Americans in the
blacklist shade and thus discourage
Russians from accepting their good
Offices.
The story Of the origin of this
extraordinary propaganda is vouched
for by every member Of the commits
sion. Shortly after the outbreak of
the revolution, it is declared, the
propagandists, composed chiefly OF
Socialists favorable to abolishing all
present forms of government and es-
tablshing without delay rule by the
brotherhood of man, returned to their
native land and began berating the
United States and its people. Ger
mans, quick to see the advantage OF
controlling these agitators, began sup
plying them with money, and today
flush with wealth, they are going
through Russia spreading the most
vicious canards.
