tonight, reviewing the work of his
office in taking over and Americanizing

The business built up by the Ger

He added that "no other course will

it's governmental and military doml-

that interest is large enough either to

Palmer said, will now be sold at pub

"whatever accounting is to be made

call ON the executive departments OF
the government to curtail war cxpendi-
lures Immediately upon the signing OF
an armistice by Germany.
He a1ao said the War Department will
be asked to stop calling men into the
military service as soon as the war
ends.
Senator Martin asserted appropria-
tions for war purposes in the last two
years have aggregated $57 900 100000
and he is deeply concerned over the
effect the expenditures are having upon
the, country. Leaders of both parties
share his views, he said, and added he
soon would have something to say in
the Senate on the necessity for curtail-
ing government expenses after the
arinistice is signed
Extravaganza in war expenditures is
admitted by Democratic leaders, the
Senator asserted, but it has been justi-
fled on the ground that it has been
necessary in order to guard against
having troops in the field inadequately
equipped with munitions, food and
clothing.
The Democratic leader declared lis
opposition to universal military train
ing, saying it would lead to continued
heavy expenses for cantonments and
other war necessities in peace times.
One method of curtailment of war
costs suggested by the Virginia Senator
was reduction in the number of clerks
employed in Washington. and abandon
ment in construction of housing for
purely war activities.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7-Complete
and final liberation of the peoples Of
the eastern Mediterranean countries
from the oppression of the Turks and
the establishment of governments de-
irving their authority from the free
choice of the native populations are
the aims of France and Great Britain.
This announcement is made in n
formal statement issued to-day by the
British Embassy, by direction OF the
British Foreign Office and in conjunc-
tion with the French government.
"The aim of France and Great Brit
ain," said the statement, 'in carrying
on in the Near East the war let loose
by Germany's ambitions is the com
plete and final liberation of the peo-
pies so long oppressed by the Turks
and the establishment of governments
and administrations deriving their au-
thority from the initiative and the
free choice of the native populations.
"1n view of following out this in-
tention, France and Great Britain are
agreed to encourage and help the es-
tablishment of native governments and
administrations in Syria and Mesopo-
tama, actually liberated by the AL
lies, and in the territories they are
now striving TO liberatc, and to rec
ognizc them as soon as effectively es-
tablished.
Ear from seeking to force upon the
popu ations of these countries any par

Britain have no other concern than to
insure by their support. and their ac-

New Russia Appeals
To Allies for More
Assistance at Once
Aid Already Given To Be
in Vain Unless Increased
Soon, Message Says

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Further
and Immediate aid from the Allied and
American governments in riddine Rus
sia of Bolshevik control, and reestab-
tlshng order, is asked in an appeal ad-
dressed to President Wilson by the
Consolidated Russian Provisional gov
ernment at Omsk, delivered to Secre-
tary Lansing to-day by Boris Bakh.
meteff, Russian Ambassador to the
United States.
After describing the reign of terror
inaugurated in Central Russia by the
Bolsheviki, and asserting that control
of this element is made possible only
through German influence, the appeal
says aid already extended to Russia
by the Allies will be in vain if "the
rev help arrives too late 1t adds
that every hou- of delay "threatens
with innumerablc calamites Russia,
the Allies and other nations"
Help "lnsistently" Demanded
The Provisional Government expects
the aid of the Allies and the United
States, and considers itself in the
right to demand insistently upon such
help" says the appeal, which is signed
by Nicholas Avksentieff, President of
the Provisional Government, and Peter
Vologodsky, Premier.
at is evident that the exit of Russia
from the number Of belligerents, and
the process of dismemberment which it
is suffering, has deep influence on the
fate Of all the other countries" said
a paraphrase of the appeal, made pub
lie at the Russian Embassy.
Furthermore, the problems of the
future of Russia should be considered
by governments and nations of the uni
verse as problem Of their own future
Russia will not perish. She is greatly
suffering, but not dead. Her national
forces are regalning strength quickly,
and her effort to recover her unity and
! greatness VIII not cease until she at
i talns this sublime aim. Moreover,
the construction of powerful and
prosperous Russia presents itself as o
condition necessary to the maintenance
OF order and international equilibrium
Aid Is Expected
at is, therefore, the new provisional
government. into whose hand has been
intrusted the supreme power bv the
people of Russia, the regional govern
ments, the convention and committee
of the members of the Constituent AS

ties, that addresses itself to the Allied
powers 1t expects to receive their aid
and considers itself in the right to de-

would be in vain if the new help should
