Continued from Tago One
he Nil "Millions and millions of dollars
lmve been spent In preparation for this
"ash and men have been In training for
months and monlhs."
i..'.'Are ,he Huselan armies In good con
dition?" "RlBht now our fighting men are In bel
ter condition than nt any time since we
entered the war. The men have some
thing to fight for now. Their goal Is a
greater Russia; a Russia that will be a
?e.mo.crP- tr nil time; n Russia In
Which they can live In peace and good
renowsnlp; a Russia where there will be
no despot "
"Have the armies of new Russia plenty
of supplies?"
"Ample." replied the Ambassador. "We
"?.'? ,morp han ever. There seems to be a
m staken Idea about Russia and her sup
Idles for her fighting men.

put is enormous; nnd, I am glad I can
say, it will be greater as time goes on tin
ess something comes to end the war, and
that. aR far as I can see Into the future. Is
not In night "
"What la your view of the visit of the
Itoot mission to Russia?"
"Splendid'" M,l the Ambassador "It
cemented friendships, gnvo a wonderful op
portunlty to exchange views on nlany sub.
Jeffs pertaining to the war and wait a di
rect evidence to the Uusslan people of the
sincerity and strength of purpose of this
great country America
i."A.'i nilsla welcomes the United States
into the war We know the resources of this
country; we know the firmness of the Amer.
lean people ; they never turn back. They
push on and on until they have attained
their purpose, and now. sldo by side with
our allies, In the trenches, in the marts of
trade. In the office, in the factories and a
thousand other places, we will fight on fo:
our Just cause and victory we know wch,
full well, will be ours.
SCORNS SEPARATE PEACE
"What were the foundations for the
rumors that came to this country concern
Ing Russia and a separate peace?" I asked.
"Thei e never war anv real foundation for
such rumors. We were holding back, watch
lng, working and waiting for our time to
strike.
"That peace talk was largely German prop,
aganda It was i-ent out In carefully dis
guised dispatches from Tforway nnd
Sweden German arrenU did It But what
did It avail them'' Nn hlng then, nothing
now nnd nothing in tlf days to come.
Russia wants n. separate peace Russia
lives and lmpes nnd prays for the dawning
of the day of peace But when that glori
ous day does come It will and must come
as the day of lctory for Russia and her
brave nnd ever-faithful allies In the cause
of the freedom of the world."
WORKINOMEN LOYAL
"What of t'he unrest among the working
men In Russia and their demands for
higher wages "
"The worklngman in Russia Is better off
today than at any time in the history of
the country. His wages arc better, he has
more money In hank, and strong drink long
a curse, has bon taken from him.
"I hope the people of America will not
believe these stories that our men who toll
are dissatisfied. These men are forging
ahead with their duties They realize that
they are as necessary to the success of our
arms as the man who goes to the front
"Tho heel that crushed the worklngman
of Russia has been removed Kindness has
come where cruelty reigned In no land
will the men who labor have a brighter or
a more prosperous future.
BUSINESS LIVELV
"Have you any late Information regarding
business nnd financial conditions In new
Russia? "Yes; my late advices tell me that busi
ness is lively In many lines. Every one Is
nt work Financial affairs of the nation
are In the hands of earnest and capable men
and the outlook In all lines of endeavor Is
splendid "
Then I asked tho Ambassador to tell me
of Kerensky. the Russian Minister of War,
who has been hailed far and wide as "the
Savluor of Russia."
A clerk brought In a letter for the Am
bassador. He read It, excused himself and
I sat there wondering what he would tell mo
of tho man-of-the-mlnute In Russia

In the redemption of Russia.
New Premier Will
Favor Strong Policy
Continued from race One
thrown domestic reforms Into the back
ground temporarily while the leaders of the
various political factions pull wires nnd
seek secret political coalitions to further
their ends
A dispatch from Berlin today said that
Doctor Mlchaells had begun holding a series
of conferences with party leaders In prep
aration for the speech he Is expected to
make In tho Reichstag on Thursday Before
the speech Is delivered. It was said, Clan
oellor Mlchaells would confer with the
Kaiser.
Another telegram said:
"There Is no doubt now that the peace
forces of the Vatican were behind Dr.
Mathlas Ersberger In the action he took
last week in the main committee of the
Reichstag nnd that the Pope has, for some
time. Interested himself In the matter."
Conferences which Chancellor Mlchaells.
"leld Marshal Hlndenburg, General Luden
dorff and other military chiefs have been
holding with Reichstag majority leaders
are said In Berlin dispatches to have been
"unfruitful."
The Reichstag leaders. It was declared,
adhere to their insistence on a pledge of
Germany's war alms to the "no annexa
tions" principle.
One of the latest moes on the part of
the Pan-Germans is the Issuance of a
pamphlet In Munich entitled "Germany's
Future Under a Good Peace and Under a
Bad Peace "
The Tageblatt says the author of the
pamphlet arrived at hU conclusions by "the
dint cf much Jugglln; of statistics "
This pamphlet has been distributed In
' Immense quantities among the troops at
the front, thus carrying politics Into the
German army for the first time since the
war started. Many view this move with
alarm, for they hold that politics has uu
place among the soldiers despite the fact
that they are given full opportunity to
read the German newspapers .which contain
long political articles and commentaries.
The Cologne Gazette, known as a semi
official organ, has issued another pamphlet
designed to further the Pan-German propa
ganda. It Is called "A Hlndenburg Peace,"
and 100.000 copies were sent to the front.
But not alone does the Government far a
smoothing out of the parliamentary situa
tion, but Austro-Hungary must be mollified.
Vienna wanted Hollweg to stay. Emperor
Carl's Ministers did not hesitate to announce
this to Berlin. Austro-Hungary Is experi
encing grave unrest due to success of the
nussian drive and settling of a conviction
that the Central Powers cannot win.

The Government requires that every individual registered for army
conscription shall know his serial number so that when the numbers of
men drafted for the first army are announced from Washington each
man shall report promptly to his local board. The Government holds
the individual responsible. Ignorance of the serial number does not
excuse him. To help drafted men the Evening Ledger is publishing
maps showing the boundaries of each conscription division, the num
bers of the divisions and the location of the complete, accurate, serially
numbered local board lists in each division. Additional maps will be
printed daily until the entire fifty-one have been used. The first ten
district maps were published Saturday nnd the second ten yesterday.
The numbers apply to registration districts, not to police stations.
BUSINESS MEN WANT SHIP ROW
ENDED WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY
Continued from Paee One
standing on some basis. That agreement
should he reached at the earliest moment
and the contracts let for this shipbuilding
yard and the other planned by tho Emerg
ency Fleet Corporation.
"At all costs this construction should go
ahead. There Is an urgent need for ships.
Though I am Interested, of course. In see
ing this plant located near Philadelphia,
that consideration does not rank In Impor
tance with the necessity of beginning work
on the shipyards and the ships That Is not
the point at Issue, nor are the merits of
tho two types paramount. The Important
thing Is ships."
William M. Coates. president of the Board
of Trade, took a similar position In point
ing out the need for adjusting differences
between the United States Shipping Board.
headed by Denman. and the Emergency
Fleet Corporation, headed by Goethals. He
even suggested that some one else should
be p'ti in charge of the work If the dispute
Is no., settled soon.
"There is no doubt that this shipyard
work sYiould go ahead." Mr. Coates said.
"I am not familiar with the merits of the
dispute, and I do not care about them. I
know the letting of these contracts for
shipyards should be completed at once,
without delay
"From what I know of the situation It
seems to have reached the point at which
a choice must be made between the two
men, or else that a third person be put In
charge of this shipbuilding I hae been
Impressed that the right rests with General
Goethals and that Mr Denman Is the one
who Is causing the trouble, though of that
I am not certain However. In any case
there should be no more of this delay "
WORLD'S GREATEST SHIPYARD
The world's greatest shipyard, which
will be on the Delaware ten miles south of
Philadelphia will be built and operated
under Government con'rd by a company
chartered to- "advance the Interests of
American overseas trade " It Is a company
chartered to advance American commerce.
Frank A. Vanderllp. chairman of the Board
of the American International Corporation,
the company back of the great plant, besides
being one of the first financiers In the coun
try. Is associated with a number of men
prominent In financial circles of the nation.
The great plant, with facilities for build
ing fifty ships at one time, will put America
far ahead of all other nations as a builder
of ships, and make Philadelphia the world's
center. For years synonymous with ship
building, the river Clyde, Britain's center
of the Industry, will be eclipsed by the
Delaware so far as to make comparison
useless.
Besides providing the standard 7500-ton
vessel the Emergency Fleet Corporation has
decided Is best fitted to beat the German
submarine, the new shipyard will bocome a
means of restoring the American flag on
the oceans of the world.
As soon as the war Is over the great
plant will be used as the source of a stream
of new shipping to take Its place with the
merchant marine of the world under the
United States flag.
No more fitting contractor than the
American International Corporation could
have been found to build the plant, In the
belief of shipyard men acquainted with the
plans. The company was incorporated on
November 22, 191B, with a charter broad
enough to permit operation of any kind of
business but banking According to Its
charter the corporation "haB, for Its main
object, the creation of facilities for the sue.

advance the Interests of American overseas

REASONS FOR PICKING DELAWARE
An explanation of the reasons that prob
ably caused the choice of the Delaware
River by the men behind the new Govern
ment plant was given today by an official
of the New York Shipbuilding Company In
which the American International Corpo
ration has an Interest.
"The Delaware seems to be best located
as a shipbuilding center tor a number of
reasons." he said. "It Is a fresh-water
river here, and that prevents deterioration
of ship plates so destructive In salt water
"Furthermore, it Is located In A good
labor market and with adequate transit fa
cilities. That Is a big factor now The
Delaware, and particularly Philadelphia
has the added advnr.'ago of being cen
trally located wli respect to supplies of
Iron, steel and particularly coal It Is now
the shipbuilding center of America"

the biggest problem of the war is the sub

In next Sunday's Public Ledger Mr. Mar
cosson vividly describes the game fight Great
Britain is putting up against the submarine, the
desperate work in which her patrol fleet is
engaged, and how small the prospect of the
Kaiser ever bringing England to her knees.
And then to add to an already interesting
story, he gives some of the deceptions the Ger
mans use in luring their victims to destruction;

Draft Now Set
for Saturday
Continued from Pnite One
by a majority of the members of the Senate
Military Affairs Committee.
The matter was glen serious consider
ation at a meeting today, and Senator
Chamberlain, of Oregon, chairman of the
committee, will Introduce either a resolu
tion or a bill to make the draft applicable to
aliens Of course, alien enemies, such as
Germany, will not be Included in the lists
eligible to conscription. They theoretically
are Interned In the United States for the
period of the war
When Senator Brandegee, of Connecticut,
made a speech In the Senate yesterday dur
ing which he advocated tho Inclusion of
aliens In the draft, It was not presumed
tho matter would be given serious consider
ation, but after the meeting of the Military
Affairs Committee today, it was learned
that the matter had been discussed with
much faor by the members
Senator Warren, tho ranking Republican
member of the Military Affairs Committee,
said there is a strong feeling among the
Senators that It Is unjust to make all young
Americans eligible to the draft, while
foreigners are left In America to take their
places ln commercial world and profit by
their enforced absence.
