The Has aim is have no imperialistic wishes. ^ We know that you have none.

We two peoples?Russia fighting tyranny and America standing tthe oldest democracy?hand :n ml will show the way of happiness to nations great and small." These ringing words, expressing the attitude of the Russian government towards America and the American mission headed by Elihu Root, v;ere voiced tonight by M. Tcreschtc-i.ko, minister of foreign affairs, re I spending for the council of minister-, to Mr. Root's address of similar wil' on the part of Ameiican government! American Ambassador Francis pre' sAnted the Root missino, explaining tff.at it had come to Russia to disco\er how America can best cooperf ate with its ally in forwarding the fig ht against the common onemv. The presentation was very informal only a few Russian officials an 1 the members of the American embassy attending- M. Keronsky, the youthful minister of war, just back from the front, wore the khaki blouse of a common soldier. The minister listened with rapt attention to Mr. Root's address, which was an impressive utterance, both in substance and manner. | Child of American Revolution. M. Tereschtenko rose from a sick bed to attend the presentation and -rc.^ ponded without notes, expressing great joy in welcomnig the commission from America. He said that Rua fliars revolution was based on the wonderful words uttered by America in 1776. He read part of the Declaration of Independance and exclaimed, "Russia holds with the United plates tnat an men ait* created free and equal." M. Tereschtenko sketched the Russian revolutoin briefly, saying that the Russians, enslaved for centuries, threw off all the old order just a-s the wind blows autumn leaves from th? forest. Russia now faces two * p? ?'blems, sairl the minister, the necessity of creating a strong democratic fore within its boundaries am the fighting of an external foe. Then he declared for war and expressed unbounded confidence in the power o. Russia to meet the situation, 'dr. Root spoke in part as follows: "Mr. President and Members w:" the Council of Ministers: The mission for which I have the honor to ^ H] uik is charged by the government w an-; people of the United States of America with a message to the government and people of Russia. The mission comes from a democratic rerublic. Its members are commissioned and instructed by a president who holds his high office as chief executive of more than 100,000,000 free people by virtue of popular election, in which more than 18,000,000 votes were freely cast, and fairly | counted pursuant to law, by universal, equal, direct and secret suffrage.

"The news of Russia's now found ft* edom brought to America universal satisfaction and joy. From a'.i the land sympathy and hope went out to the new sister in the circle o' mocracies.

Atneric ?'s reasons for sending her flag aginst the fire ol the enemy across the sea and the purpose she >neks wore stated anew by President Wilson today in a dag day address beneath the Washington monu ment. Germany's military masters denied^ the United States the right to be neutral, the president said, and by extraordinary insults and aggression* "left us no self respecting choice but to take up arms in defense of our rights as a free people and of our honor as a sovereign government." He recalled how the imperial government had forbidden Americans the use of the high seas and time and again executed its threat to send them to their death haw it filloH unsuspecting country with spies and conspirators and sought by violence to destroy industries and arrest commerce and finally how the Berlin foreign office tried to incite Mexico and Japan into a hostile alliance. "What great nation," he asked, "in such circumstances would not have taken up arms?" Now that America has been forced in the war, declared the president, she bids her young men go forth to fight on fields of blood far away for the same old familiar, heroic purpose for which has seen its men die on every battlefield upon which Americans have borne arms since the Rerclution?democracy. A sinister power, he said, which has the German people themselves in its gop How ui. last has stretched forth its ugly talons and drawn blood from us."
