Silence on War Aims In
suit, Declares Revolu-
zionist Here
Predicts Catastrophe
Jacob Baum, Representative
Of Soldiers and Workmen,
Urges Action by America

Jacob D. Baum. a representative Of
the Russian Council OF Soldiers and
Workmen's Delegates, now in this
country, made the following statement
in an interview yesterday with a Trib-
une correspondent:
Free Russia is now endangered by
the unsympathetic attitude OF some
Allied governments. People the world
over deeply sympathize with New Rus
sia, but some of those in power lack
understanding of my country's ideals.
II the new Russia is destroyed, there
will be no liberty in Europe, no mat
ter who wins the war.
"The other day one Of the Allied
ministers made q statement that the
question OF war aims would not be
taken up at the coming Paris confer
oIce. This declaration was made at
time when Russia was impatiently
waiting to hear the Allied war aims
restated. The same minister asserted
that the delegate of the Workmen
and Soldiers TO the conference would
not be admitted. This is direct in
suit to Russia.
Terrible Errors Committed
IF the Russian government con-
firms the mandate of the council. then
ell of Russia will stand behind the
delegate, regardless OF whether he is
PERSONA grata or nsa grata u certain
Allied officials. II the Allies are pre-
Jared to defy the entire Russian ma
ton. then let them insist on debating
TO Russia the kind of representative
she should delegate TO the conference.
Terrible errors are committed by
some Allied diplomats in their deal
Tags with the Russian democracy.
These gentlemen should remember
that such a great country as mine will
not allow her demands 20 be ignored,
even though she is now passing
through the most critical period of
her existence.
Statements like the one mentioned
above, made by responsible ministers,
only strengthen Germany's position and
spread disorganization in the ranks Of
our army as well az throughout the
country. The army is carefully follow
ing up all that pertains to the ques-
tons Of war and peace, especially 10
the war aims. The army wants TO know
what it is fighting for, and whether
there is really no way Of making peace
Our government daily assures the
army and the people that the Allied
war aims will soon be revised in &c
cordance with the principles Of the
Russian revolution. IL is understood
in Russia that the Paris conference was
called for that purpose. 1t is vital to
note that the army's spirit is kept up
by these assurances.
Urges Us to Act
"And the fighting capacity Of the
Russian army is not as low as the for
eign press would have US believe. In
this connection wish to relate the fol-
lowing story which appeared in Miliu-
kofr's paper, Reich An officer. in a
letter to the editor, tells that his SOL
diers asked him to explain why the Al
lies do not want peace. They had with
them newspapers containing the first
speech of Nichaelis. Ny explanations
were of no avail wrote the officer

Sees u. S. Troops as Aid
To Russian Reformation

PETROGRAD, Oct 27.-The news
paper, "Novoe Vremya," commenting on
the presence Of American soldiers in
France, says:
The Russian army, three-quarters
OF which have been put out Of action
by agents of the German government,
now is replaced by new ally. We
thus are given q new time limit in
which to treat the anarchistic leprosy
from which we are suffering"
