Nv HENRY G. WALES.

With the American Army. Sept. IS.
Nothing interests the American
doughboys so much as tanks. They

The doughboys ran into a number
Of the new small French tanks when
they went up with Gen Mangin's
army north Of the Aisne. In the little
towns in the rear where they
bivoucked awaiting the time when
they were put into the line they saw
much Of the wonderful machines.
When a tank broke through one Of
the side ratings on pontoon bridge
crossing the river 100 dOughboys
sprang forward and helped to shift

job done and the railing repaired be-

The way the tanks turned. spinning

what interested the doughbOys chiefly.

7 ONDON. Eng. Sept 2s.-Extreme
l. caution must be taken by the al
lies to guide Russia in reestablishing
her government based solely on "the
free will Of the people" in the opinion
OF DR.. Jacob o. Vavronsky, formerly
commissioner in Kerensky's cabinet
DR.. Gavronsl<y has suggested n
joint manifesto to Russia by all Of
the allies that they seek no terri
tory and no additional obligations.
America and England have given
their word and DR.. GaVronsIzy
believes such assurance should
come from all Of the nations
sending help TO Russia.
The american and allied democ-
racies must be on their guard he
said. They must not allow the re-
dictionaries in their midst to discour-
age the Russian democrats or to ere
ate The feeling among them that
there is 10 difference between the
Germans and the allies as to their
policy toward Russia and that they
all are trying TO protect their own
interests and that their adherence to
the democratic principles is only idle
talk on the part Of the allies.
I DO not think that the reaction
aries in the allied countries may
spoil altogether the relations between
the allied AID Russian democrats, but
they may temporarily do very much
harm. and II all their efforts result
only in prolonging the war for an
other three months. II Is a sufficiently
serious reason 70 take all the steps
and 20 use all the means available TO
fight energeticaily against this dan
ger.
says Allies Sincere.
Il am not the least in doubt about
the absolute sincerity OF the great
majority OF the American people and
Of the American government headed
by president Wilson, when they say
they want 10 see a government in
Russia based on the free viii OF the
people
But there are in America, as there
are in other countries. influences that
are much more in favor Of mon
archy-and a reactionary monarchy
I quite realize that those people do
not care a beat for Russia Itself; that
they only look upon Russia as
means Of attaining their objects; that
they are not democrats; but still do
not want to suspect them OF wishing
TO see a German victory Unconscious
" they are favoring the German
cause
Emphasizes Caution.
Extreme caution must be taken 10
allow the Russian people 70 work out
their form Of government according
10 their own will The Russian people
are thoroughly democratic and repub-
Hcan- What the Russian people want
is to see a federated republic The

cannot exist without exit TO the Baltic

Esthouians. the Livonians, the Arme-

no more about an autonomy. And as
they quite well remember what the
old regime meant for them. they do
not want 10 live any longer under the
old conditions Of subjugation.
Cooperation Needed.
This Intervention" continued DR..
Gavronsky, lis understood in Russia
as a cooperation OF the allies with
the Russian national forces. the dem
ocratic and liberal elements who are
in the entente orientation- We al
ways thought that while the Russian
national forces would come into ac-
ton again in opposition to the Ger
man penetration. the allies must come
energetically to their help, so as TO
make their action successful"
What has been the real determine
ton Of the Russian peOple2" Dr.. Cav
ronsky was asked
RuSSin still in War.
The Russians never believed that
Russia was out of the war because
Of the Brest-Litovsk treaty: they be-
lieved that Russia continued 10 be in
a state OF war with Germany and that
al her treaty obligations with the al
lies were valid The Brest-Litovsk
treaty and the state OF affairs OF the
last nine months in Russia are looked
upon as a military defeat. It has
been felt all along that the moment
Russia would be able to resume fight
ing she would do so and that the
moment the allies should be able 10
send them military help to the east
ern front they would do so, just in
the same way as they are sending
military help to the other theaters OF
war; Just as. for instance, on the west
ern front we see French, British,
American and other armies working
in fun and close cooperation The
same is true in Saloniki, Italy and
everywhere else
"One must realize that II Russia
did 90 into a state 9 Of temporary
paralysis during this war II was due
TO the fact that during the first three
years OF the four years OF war she
was carrying a burden much beyond
