Ky a Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June 6.
Japan has notified Russia that she will
Invade that country and with army take the
place of the Russians. If separate peace Is
declared and Russia does not continue her
alliance and aid the Allied nations.
This information is given here officially.
Secretary Lansing said today that he had
not been officially Informed of Japan's atti
tude, but added that this did not mean that
the attitude of Japan had been misinter
preted. America nnd her Allies are trying to con
vince Russia that their war alms are Just
Statements either already made by the
United States. France and England, or
ready to go to Petrograd. will clear the war
atmosphere and if the effect Is as antici
pated, will swerve Russia from her heavy
trend toward peace.
All ,the Allies wilt tell "Russia that they
are In the war to the last trench. They will
point out that they are trying to make the
world safe from further Prussian absolut
ism. They will disclaim any desire for
punitive indemnities or conquest.
This latter. It Is felt, should have a
tremendous effect In Russia, where "no
forcible 'annexations, no punitive Indem
nities" has become a byword.
France Is on record as asking only that
Germany "return" Alsace-Lorraine, pay Just
damages for devastations, and quit terri
tory overrun by the Teutons In their mad
aim for world empire.
All the statements will seek to hearten
Russia, to fan the last smoldering war
embers and to restore In that nation a spirit
of co-opcratlon with a world bent on
wrecking Prussian autocracy.
Russia, at best, can ghe little military
assistance. for rrlany months to come. Hut
if she heeds the separate peace overtures
of Germany nnd her own folk, then the
psychological and military effect wilt be a
blow to tho Allies.
With Russia out. Germany could send
her legions to the west front, unhampered
by any thoughts of her eastern theatre
The Allies would avoid this. They would
hnve Russia stand, with them, as best she
may, and furnish a new war strength with
their aid niid co-opcratlon, provided the
war continues long enough.
America's message will be made public
before long, though the State Department

POINT TO LIBERTY SHRINE
A committee of prominent Philadelphia
Italians will visit Washington the latter
part of the week to" urge upon Secretary
of State Lansing that the Italian war mis
sion, headed by Prince of Udlne, spend at
least twenty-four hours In Philadelphia, the
birthplace of American i;srty.
According to the pre"A program the
mission will remain onl 'Ive hours Ip. this
city, June 1R, and Italla-j here think fle
hours is too short a tlma for the distin
guished visitors adequately to grasp the
significance of Philadelphia as a shrine of
world liberty.
Giuseppe Donato, noted Italian sculptor,
501 South Droad street, Is a leader In the
movement for extending the visit
"For many reasons," he said, "Philadel
phia Is the most Important city In the
United States, particularly In this critical
period In the world's history. New York,
a far less Important city In historical value,
will recelvo a three days' visit from the
mission. Philadelphia Is a shrne of world
liberty, and the name Philadelphia today
means more to my countrymen In Italy
perhaps than that of any other city. The
story of the slgnlngjof the Declaration of
Independence In Philadelphia Is being told
and retold today on all battlefronts In Eu
rope. For the first time In the world's his
tory whole races of men are beglnlng to
glimpse the real meaning of human liberty
as symbolized In the Declaration of Inde
pendence. "We have here In Philadelphia a popula
tion of 180,000 Italians men and women
who have Imbibed the principles of real re
publican government In the shadow of tne
world's finest monuments to democracy.
The Italians of Philadelphia are taking a
real part In the development of the com
munity, and they are going to play an Im
portant part In the future. Our young men
here have entered the fields of art and the
professions. We want the members of the
Italian mission to see that Philadelphia
Italians are doing something to aid In the
uplift of humanity, Italy Is the mother of
the arts, and we want the mission to know
that Philadelphia, aa well as being the
birthplace of liberty, is America a art cen
ter. The Academy of the Fine Arty here
Is the only Institution of Its kind In the
country. Yes. five hours Is far too short a
time for the mission to grasp the real slg
