New Regime to Fight
Autocracy.
Washington, June 22. Russia's
consecration to a war to the end with
German autocracy was avowed today
by Special Ambassador Boris A
Bakhmetieff, head of the Russian
mission here, in a statement to the
American seoole.
Onlv through victory, he said, can
a stable world peace and the fruits
of the Russian revolution be secured.
understand and are fully convinced
that it is absolutely necessary to root
ttt antnrratir nrtnfinlea which
threatens tne peace, tne ireeaom ana
the happiness of the world," said Mr.
Bakhtnetiett.
AH classes in Russia, he declared,
are concentrated on the enormous
task of reconstruction made neces
sary by the sweeping away of the
evils of the old regime and already
noticeable results are apparent, es
pecially in the army under the ener
getic leadership of Minister Ker
enftkv. '
"In behalf of the Russian provis
ional government and in behalf of the
people of the new Russia," said the
ambassador, "I have been first of all
sent here to express their gratitude to
the government of the United States
Jor the recognition ot tne new politi
cal order in Russia.
"This noble action of the world's
greatest democracy has afforded us
trong moral aupport and has created
among our people a general feeling of
profound appreciation.
"Close and active relationship be
tween the two nations, based upon
complete and sincere understanding,
encountered inevitable obstacles dur
ing the otd regime because of its
very nature. The situation is now
radically changed with free Russia
starting a new era in her national
life. The natural and deep feeling
of sympathy, which always existed
between the people of the two great
nations, will grow now, by the force
of events, into a stable friendship
into permanent and active co-operation.
"I have been in this country here
tofore on several occasions; I have
here many friends and always have
looked forward to a close union and
friendship between the United States
and Russia. The United States, with
its enormous natural resources and its
wonderful genius for organization,
can now greatly aid in the work or
reorganization which is taking place
in Russia.
"Another object of our mission is
to establish the most effective means
by which the American and Russian
democracies can work hand in hand
in the common task of successfully
carrying on the war. The friendly
assistance which the United states al-

highest value.
, Specialista With Mission.
"The provisional government is
actually mobilizing all its resources
and is making great efforts to or-
nniT, til rnmitrv and th armv for
the purpose of conducting the war.
We hope to establish a very close and
-active co-oneration with the United
' States for the purpose of discussing
all matters relating to military af
fairs, munitions and supplies, rail
ways and .transportation, finance and
.agriculture. Our mission includes
eminent and distinguished specialista.
"On the other hand, I hope that the
result of our stay and work in Amer
ica will bring about a clear under
standing on the part of your public
ot what has happened in Russia and
also of the present situation and the
eno tor wnicn our people are mosi
earnestly striving. There have been
many and various narratives of what
has been and is taking place in kus
sia, but there seems to be lack of ex
act and true comprehension. Our
commission will make every endeavor
to throw light upon the very great
and world-important events of the
Russian revolution.
To Set Out Achievements.
"The achievements of the revolution
are to be formally set forth in funda
mental laws enacted by a constiutional
assembly which is to be convoked as
soon as possible.
In the meanwhile the provisional
government is confronted with the
task of bringing into life the demo
cratic princirles which were promul

IgaLcu uuimg cue iivumuuu. it is ac
tively engaged in reconstructing the
very life of the entire country along
democratic lines introducing freedom,
equality and self government.
"New Russia received from the old
government a burdensome heritage of
economic and technical disorganiza
tion, which affected all branches of
the life of the state, a disorganization
which weighs yet heavily on the whole
country. The provisional government
is doing everything in its power to
relieve the difficult situation.
"In this energetic work of recon
struction, essential for Russia's active
participation in the war, the pro
visional government is steadily gain
ing in strength and activity. Such
power is based on the general con
fidence and full and whole-hearted
support accorded to the new coalition
ministry.
New Members Active.
"The participation in the new gov
ernment by new members who are ac
tive and prominent leaders in the
council of workmen and soldiers has
secured full support from the demo
cratic masses. The esteem in which
such leaders as Mr. Kerensky and
others are held among the working
classes and soldiers in contributing to
the strength and stability of the new
government.
"The constitutional-democratic party
the labor party, the socialist-populists
and excepting a small group of ex
tremists, the social democrats all
these parties embracing the vast ma
jority of the people, are represented
by strong leaders in the new govern
ment thereby securing for it authority.
The National Program.
Firmly convinced that unity of
power is essential, and casting aside
class and special interests, all social
and political elements have joined in
the national program which the new
c vernment proclaimed and which it
is striving to fulfill.
"This prograi.. follows:
"The provisional government, re
jecting, in accord with the whole peo
ple of Russia, all thought of separate
peace, put .i openly as its deliberate
purpose the promptest achievement of
universal peace; such peace to pre
sume no dominion over other nations,
no Seizure of their national property
OLD GLORY GIVES LIFE
TO BRITISH TARS SET
ADRIFTBY DIVER CREW
(Br AMOcukted Praa..)
Base of the American Flotilla in
British Waters, Wednesday, June
22 "We owe our escape from a
watery grave to the bravery of
your men," was the parting word
of the second officer of a rescued
British merchant crew to the com
manding officer of an American
destroyer, which arrived here this
morning with the survivors.
The destroyer was able to land
one boatload of nineteen men. A
second boat containing eighteen
men is missing and it is feared has
been lost. Six members of the en
gine room crew were killed when a
torpedo struck the ship without
warning, several hundred miles
from the nearest land.
"We were torpedoed at 6 o'clock
Monday morning," the second offi
cer told the correspondent. "The
explosion tore a hole through the
ship and caused it to sink in fif
teen minutes. Two boats got away,
but soon became separated and we
fear one has gone down.
"After we were out nearly twen
ty hours ind were enduring awful
hardships we were hailed by an
American destroyer. I tell you Old
Glory never looked so good to me
before. We were treated with the
utmost kindness by the American
tars and were their guests the
whole day before they brought us
in. We that we owe our lives
to the braverv of these boys from
the States, who are daily provin
their reputations as sailors and
good sportsmen."
The survivors were sent to a sail
.rs' home here, while the captain
nade a report to Vice Admiral
lims, as acting commander of the
British forces in these waters.
Jame F. Powers of Naugatuck,
Tonn., the only American among
i crew of fifty-four rescued bv an
merican destrover after thirty
hours afloat, told the correspond
ent that the Germans jeered at
their victims.
"All those alive after the ex
plosion got away in four boats. All
this time we saw no submarine,
but when forty yards away from
the sinking ship a submarine ap
peared alongside of us, its crew
crawling out of the conning tower
and laughing at our predicament.
"The commander asked our cap
tain the name of the ship, which
was British, and its destination.
When this was given the sub
marine crew laughed and jeered
again and made off.
"The American craft came up at
what seemed like express train
speed. All our boats were able to
keep pretty well together, s that
the task of getting us on board
was quickly accomplished."
nor any forced usurpation of foreign
territory; peace with no annexation
or contributions, based upon the free
determination by each nation of its
destinies.
"Being fully convinced that the es
tablishment of democratic principles
in its internal and external policy has
created a new factor in the striving
of allied democracies for durable
peace and fraternity of all nations,
the provisional government will take
preparatory tteps for an agreement
with the allies founded on its declara
tion of March 27.
"The provisional government is
conscious that the defeat of Russia
and her allies would be the source of
the greatest misery and would not
only postpone, but even make impos
sible the establishment of universal
peace on a firm basis. The provi
sional government is convinced that
the revolutionary army of Russia will
not allow the uerman troops to de
stroy our allies on the western front
and then fall upon us with the whole
might of their weapons. I he chief
aim of the rpovisional government
will be to fortify the democratic foun
dation of the army and organize and
consolidate the army's fighting power
tor its defensive as well as offensive
purposes.
"The last decision of the Russian
congress of the workingmen's and sol
diers' delegates, the decision of the
all-Russian peasant congress, the de
cision of the Duma, the voice of the
country as expressed from day to day
by almost the entire Russian press, in
resolutions adopted at different con
ferences and congresses all these
confirm their full support to this na
tional orozram and leave not the
slightest doubt that Russia is decided
as to the necessity to fight he Ger
man autocracy until the conditions for
a general and stable peace in Europe
are established.
Such decision is becoming more
and more evident each day by prac
tical work and results and shows it
self in the pressing and rapid reor
ganization of the army, which is now
being fulfilled under the firm and ef
ficient measures adopted by Minister
Kerensky.
"The Russian people thoroughly
understand and fully are convinced
that it is absolutely necessary to root
out the autocratic principles which
underlie and are represented by Ger
man militarism and which threaten
the peace, the freedom and the hap
piness of the world. The Russian peo
ple feel most keenly that no stable
peace can be secured until the German
autocratic orincinles are destroyed
and that otherwise the revolution will
have been in vain and its achieve
ments will perish.
New Russia, in full accord with the
motives which impelled the United
States to enter the war, is striving to
destroy tyranny, to establish peace on
a secure and permanent foundation
and to make the world safe for
democracy.
"We are representing the political
unity which has been crystalized in
Russia and around which a national
program has been developed. To our
host of friends in the United States,
we appeal and without distinction ot
party or class we will work hand in
hand for the common cause."
Battle Scars Fail to Keep
McCarty Out of Service
St. Paul, Minn., June 22. Though
he bears fourteen bullet scars received
in the earlier battles about Ypres,
Charles McCarty, the Canadian boxer,
former member of the "Princess
Pats," was accepted today as a re
cruit for the First Minnesota artil
lery. The examining doctor declaring
his physical condition good in spite
of the wounds.
Cotton Trade Situation
In Lancashire is Acute
London,' June 22. The closing of
the cotton futures market in Liver
pool was viewed with approval there
and in Manchester, where it caused
no surprise. The incident fixes atten
tion on the critical position of the
cotton trade which many hold must
result before long in limiting the out
put. Many firms now favor govern
ment intervention and compulsory
limitations of output.
It is also suggested that the govern
ment take control of all cotton im
ports as it has already done with wool.
Operatives view the situation with
great concern, as they foresee the
probability of a restriction in output
through a diminution in supplies of
raw material. Wages are compara
tively low and, although raised 20
per cent since the war, are insufficient
to meet the increased price of com
modities, food alone having risen 100
per cent. The Times, commenting on
the situation says:
"The root of the whole trouble is
the lack of shipping, which is made
worse by the submarine war. We
fear in any case that there are hard
times in store for Lancashire, for
even when the submarine war is les
sened or defeated cotton will still be
far from plentiful."
Billion Dollars Needed
For War in the Air
Washington, June 22. A billion
dollars probably would be required
to put 100,000 American airplanes and
100,000 to 200,000 aviators into the
war, Allan R. Hawley, president of
the Aero Club of America, today told
a subcommittee of the house military
affairs committee. He declared 25,
000 aviators ' could do more toward
ending the war than 1,000,000 addi
tional soldiers. He endorsed the bill
to establish a separate department of
aeronautics.
What might remain of the 100,000
airplanes when peace is restored
could be utilized for commercial pur
poses, he said. A French govern
ment commission now is making plans
for such use.
Mr. Hawley predicted that the day
of trans-Atlantic air lines was at hand.
"We are now manufacturing air
cruisers capable of crossing the At
lantic and have both the pilots and
the instruments needed for piloting
them," he said.
Hutchinson Takes Lead
In Patriotic Golf Meet
Philadelphia, June 22. Playing con
sistently and with precision, Jack
Hutchinson of the Allegheny Country
club took the lead today at the end ot
the second round in the national open
golf patriotic tournament at White
Marsh. He turned in a card of 73 for
a total of 149 for the thirty-six holes,
a one-stroke lead over the field ot
nearly 100 amateurs and professionals.
Alexander Cunningham of Wheel
ing, W. Va., who had the best score
in the opening round yesterday, was
forced into third place today with a
total of 152. Edward Loos of Phila
delphia, with a card of 37 for the sec
ond round and a total of 150, held
second place at the close of the second
day's play.

Milwaukee, Wis., June 22. (Special
