RUSSIANS MUST
 BE ABSOLUTE, FIRM AND UNITED

Moscow, Tuesday, March 19-(By he Associated Press)-Russia event. hally will become German province md Russians will lose their liberty if they sabmit to the peace forced by he Central powers, David R. Francis, the American ambassador. declared in statement to the Russian people, is sued from the American embassy in Volgoda
 The ambassador pledged American help to any government in Russia that would resist the German pene- tration. He urged them to forget their political differences and said that he would not leave Russia until compelled by force. The ambassa- dor's statement said:
 ''The friendship between Russia and the United States which has ex- lsted for a century or more should be augmented, rather than impaired, by Russia becoming 8 republic and Americans are sincerely desirous that Russians be permitted to continue free and independent and Aot become subjects of Germany.
 q have not seen an authentic copy of the peace treaty, but I am suffi- ciently acquainted with its provisions to know that if the Russian people should submit to it, Russia not only would be robbed of vast areas of it's territory, but her people eventually would become subjects of Germany. Russia eventually would become vir- tually a German province and her people would lose the liberties for which their ancestors struggled for generations.
 My government still considers America an ally of the Russian peo- pie, who surely will not reject the proffered assistance we would be prompt to render to any government in Russia that will offer a sincere and organized resistance to the German invasion.
 ''If the Russian people will be brave and patriotic, will lay aside tempor- arily their political differences and be resolute, firm and united, they will be able to drive the enemy from the borders and procure therefore, at the end of 1918, an enduring peace for themselves and the world"
