It is the voice of the Russian people. They are prostrate and all but helpless, it would seem, before the grim power of Germany. which has hitherto known no relenting and no pity. Their power apparently IS shattered. And yet their soul is not subservient. They will not yield either in principle or in action. Their conception of what is Fight, or what IL IS humane and honorable for them to accept, has been stated with a Irahkness, largeness of view, a gen eroslty Of spirit and a universal hu- ran sympathy which must challenge the admiration of every friend of mankind: and they have refused to compound their ideals or desert oth- CTS that they themselves may be safe. They call to us to say what it is that We desire. in what if anything our purpose and our spirit differ from theirs and I believe that the people or the United States would wish me to respond with. utter simplicity and In complete frankness Whether their present leaders believe it or not, it is our heartfelt desire and hope that some way may be opened whereby we may be privileged to as- sist the people of Russia to attain their utmost hope of liberty and or dered Daace
