WASHINGTON. March 11.-On
the eve Of the gathering at Moscow
of the Russian Congress of Soviets,
which is to pass Judgment on the
German-made peace accepted by the
Bolsheviki at Brcst-L Litovsk, Prcsi-
dent Wilson has sent this message
of sympathy to the Russian people:
May | not take advantage of
the meeting Of the Congress of
the Soviets to express the sincere
sympathy which the people of the
United States feel for the Russian
people at this moment when the
German power has been thrust in
to interrupt and turn back the
whole struggle for freedom and
substitute the wishes of Germany
for the purpose Of the people of
Russia.
Although the government of
the United States is, unhappily,
not now in position to render the
direct and effective aid it would
wish to render, | beg to assure the
people of Russia through the Con-
gress, that it will avail itself of
every opportunity to secure for
Russia once more complete soy
ereignty and independence in her
own affairs and full restoration to
her great role in the life of Europe
and the modern world
The whole heart of the people
of the United States is with the
people of Russia in the attempt to
free themselves forever from auto
catic government and become the
masters Of their own life

ALBANY, March 11.-Enough votes
to ratify the Federal "bone dry
amendment have been pledged in the
Senate, according to Senator William
II. Hill, of Broome County, and other
advocates of prohibition. Two of the
Republican Senators from Brooklyn
who were classcd as doubtful, have
been w'on by the "drys." They are
Charles C. Lockwood and Alvah w.
Burlngame, jr. The identity of the
two other converts was not revealed.
The "wets" declare that prohibi-
ton is dead and boast that not only
will the Senate fail to ratify the Fed
cral amendment. but that they will
have the Hill -McNab resolution killed
by the Committee on Taxation and Re-
trenchment, of which Senator James A.
Emerson is chairman.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. March 10 (delayed) Amer
ican troors, cooperating with the
French have carried out three raids
opposite the American sector in Lor-
raine. Two of the raids were made
simultaneously last night.
The Americans swept past the Ger
nan first line and penetrated to the
enemy's second line, 600 yards back.
The two simultaneous raids, one
northwest and one northeast of -

tillery preparation lasting for four
hours, IN which the German positions

each one of -- (deleted), with small
French forces on their fanks, moved
upon the German objectivcs behind a
creeping barrage, cacn on I. front of
600 yards. When the Americans reached
the enemy first lines the barrage was
lifted in order to box the German
positions at both points.
American Machine Guns Active
The men dropped into the enemy's
trenches, expecting hand to hand
tight, but found the Germans had fled.
Continuing the advance, they went for
ward to the second German line. All
the time American machine guns were
firing on each flank of the two parties
to prevent the enemy from unde rtak-
ing tianklng operations. One French
fanking party found two wounded Ger
mans in d dugout and took them pris-
oner The Americans found none.
Inc americans remained for forty
i've minutes in the enemy lines. They
found excellent concrete dugouts, which
they blew up, and also brought back
large quantities of material and valu-
able papers. While they were in the
enemy lines German artillery began a
vigorous counter barrage. 1t was quickly
slenced by American heavy and light
artillery, which hurled large quantities
Of gas shells on the batteries.
An American trench mortar battery,

tllery preparation preceding the raid,
helping to level the enemy positions.
The artillery, both light and heavy, was
manned by soldiers mostly from -

Over the Top After Forty-fve Minutes
Soon after these two raids had been
carried out the Americans staged an
other at point further along the line
70 the right. They went over the top
after artillery preparation of fortyfve
minutes, in which the enemy's positions
attacked were obliterated. AT this place
the dugouts were found to have been
constructed principally of logs. En-
glneers accompanying the raiding party
completed the artilery's work of de-
struction. The American infantrymcn
who took part in this raid are from

The raids were carried out skilfully,
and bat for the fact that the Germans
fed more prisoners doubtless would
have been taken. The American gas
sheils are believed to have caused many
casualties among the enemy. No Amer
leans are unaccounted for.
