6 AMERICA AND RUSSIA FIGIIT FOR THE SAME PRINCIPLES—ROOT Petrogr&d, June 15, via London, June 17. —Elihu Root, head of the; American mission to Russia, yestor-j day, before the Council of Ministers, j outlined America's aims and desires, in the war as follows: "Mr. President and Members of the] Council of Ministers: "The mission for which I have the j honor to speak is charged by the Government and people of the United States of America with a message to ihc- Government and people of Rus-| sia. The mission comes from a demo cratic republic. Its members are commissioned and instructed by a President who holds his high otticc as chief executive of more than 100.- i 000,000 free people by virtue of| popular election, in which more than 18,000,000 v otes were freely cast and j fairly counted pursuant to law by; universal, equal, direct and secret' suffrage. Hard Struggle "For 140 years our people have; been struggling with the hard prob lems of self-government. With many I shortcomings, many mistakes, many! imperfections, we stili have main-} tained order and respect for law, in-1 dividual freedom and national inde-j pendente. Cnder the security of our; own laws we have grown in strength ; and prosperity. Hut' we value our! freedom more than wealth. We love liberty and we cherish above all our possessions the ideals for which our fathers fought and suffered and sac rificed that America might be free. "We believe in the competence of the power of democracy and in our heart of hearts abides faith in the coming of a better world, in which the humble and oppressed of all lands may be lifted up by freedom to a heritage of justice and equal op- j portunity.

"The American democracy sends to the democracy of Russia a greet ing of sympathy, friendship, broth erhood. godspeed. Distant America knows little of the special conditions of Russian life which must give form to the Government and laws which you are about to create. As we have developed our institutions to serve the needs of our national character and life, so we assume thatgyou will develop your institutions to serve the needs of Russian character and life. "As we look across the sea we dis tinguish no party, no class. We see great Russia as a whole, as one mighty, striving, aspiring democracy. We know the self-control, essential kindliness, strong common sense, courage and noble idealism of the Russian character. Faith in Outcome "We have faith in you all. We pray for God's blessing upon you all. We believe you will solve your problems, that you will maintain your liberty, and that our two great nations will march side by side in the triumphant progress of democracy until the or der everywhere has passed away and the world is free. One Danger Threatens Both "One fearful danger threatens the liberty of both nations. The armed forces of a military autocracy are at the gates of Russia and the Allies. The triumph of German arms will mean the death of liberty in Russia. No enemy is at the gates of America, but America has come to realize that the triumph of German arms means the death of liberty in the world; that we who love liberty and would keep it must fight for it, and fight for it now when the free democracies of the world may be strong in union, and not delay until they may be beaten down separately in succes sion. Common Foe "So America sends another mes sage to Russia —that we are going to fight, and have already begun to fight, for your freedom equally with our own. and we ask you to fight for our freedom equally with yours. AVe would make your cause \ours and our cause yours, and with a common purpose and mutual helpfulness of a firm alliance make sure of victory over our common foe. "You will recognize your own sen timents and purposes in the words of President Wilson to the American Congress when, on the second of April last, he advised a declaration of war against Germany. He said: " "AA'e are accepting this challenge of hostile purpose because we known that in such a Government (the Ger man Government), following such methods, we can never have a friend, and that in the presence of its or ganized power, always lying in wait to accomplish we know not what purpose, there can be no assure* se curity for the democratic govern ments of the world. We are now about to accept the gauge of battle with this natural foe to liberty, and shall, if necessary, spend the whole force of the nation to check and nul lify its pretensions and its power.

"And you will see the feeling to j ward Russia with which America has entered the great war in. another ! clause of the same address. Presi ! dent Wilson further declared: " 'Does not every American feel I that assurance has been added to ! our hope for the further peace of the j ! world by the wonderful and hearten- | | ing things that have been happening! within the last few weeks in Russia? j 1 Russia was known by those who j knew her best to have been always j ; in fact democratic at heart in all the i vital habits of her thought, in all the intimate relationships of her peo ple that spoke their natural instinct, their habitual attitude toward life. Fight For Freedom " 'The autocracy that crowned the j summit of her political structure long as it had stood and terrible as I was the reality of its power, was not: in fact Russian in origin, character : or purpose, and now it has been shaken off and the great, generous Russian people have been added, in all their native majesty and might, to 1 the forces that are fighting for free- ( dom in the world, for justice and for I peace.

Robert McCormick. who is very j active in the Red Cross campaign, j said to-day that during the war the j Red Cross would be a foster parent not only to the soldiers who go to France, but to the families left be hind. "Immediately our soldiers go Into ramp," said Mr. McCormick. "their dependent families will become a problem. Obviously, in a country the size of our own, the proper and practical way to distribute both the burdens and the benefits fairly and uniformly will be through the govern ment itself. This is especially fitting when voluntary contributions must meet such enormous requirements in other fields. There will undoubtedly arise a large number of special cases requiring additional or unusual as sistance. Such assistance should be made systematic largely through local chapters of the Red Cross.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH of them when sick and wounded; an other very serious problem will con front them and will confront us In our care and forethought on their behalf. Englishmen and Frenchmen when from time to time they are re lieved from their grim duties in the trenches go home. The soldiers from other countries must liavo .a home In France, somewhere lo rest, some where to find a friendly atmosphere, somewhere to go for recreation and v. holesome amusement. The Red Cross must —and it alone can—be come a real foster parent of our sol diers while they are in Europe. To perform that function well will re quire a large sum of money. "The needs of France cannot but stir the heart of every American. Tuberculosis has become prevalent as a result of this trench war. And the disease is spreading. Here Is a call not only to aid the brave and liberty-loving French people, but also to help make this afflicted coun try healthy for our own sons and brothers who are soon to be there in such great numbers." Ministers Urge Co-Operation In many of the city pulpits yes terday the people were urged to co operate in raising Harrisburg's share of the great fund necessary to make effective the Important work of the Ked Cross organization. A systematic effort in this direc tion will be made during the last three days of this week. The Rev. Dr. C. -N. Krenier, in his morning sermon at the Reformed j Salem Church, said "We neeel not [ be surprised if special calls shall be i made upon our sympathy and aid in rapidly recurring succession; and this especially at the beginning of the war." Dr. Krenier said among other things in a forceful presentation of the subject— "We have just finished one task the results of which are so remark able that the German rulers with all their critical study of th-e American people and with all their philosophy of history and human nature and their education, will find that they never knew nor understood and ap preciated our people. l.oan Will Make Them Think "The results of the Eierty Loan will make them think on new lin.es. On this day we are confronted with a special issue to be met; an issue con sidered of such grave importance that the President of the United States has proclaimed the present week a week of patriotic effort in behalf of the Red Cross with the purpose to receive from the nation at large the free-will offering of $100,000,000. "It is, of course, a work for all. The springs of kindness are not con fined to the Christian. They flow from the heart and direct the hand of Jew and infidel. In the parable >of the good samitaritan the priest and the Levite found by the way side a stranger wounded and half dead. But they passed by on the other side. A despised Samaritan went to his relief at the risk of his own life and ministered to his needs. "The work of the Red Cross is so benevolent and kin.d, so free from limitations of creed, nationality or condition that it appeals with a just right to the heart and hands of all citizens. But its work is so much like the teaching and example of Jesus—its symbol is His own cross— that it should appeal with peculiar force to those who bear His name. Its record is one that tends to glorify man and through him to glorify God. The sufferers of the Johnstown flood, of thte Baltimore fire, of distant earthquake and volcanic eruption, of Armenian massacres, of devastated Belgium and portions of France, the injured and the diseased, of all lands have been recipients of its helping hand. War Affords Opportunity "In time of war it knows neither friend nor foe an.d under its universal ministry enemies have become broth ers. It affords an opportunity for those of limited means and time to do something; for the land they love. "Our own brave boys, far away from home and loved ones, are to bear the brunt of war that the honor. Integrity, tlie rights and welfare of our beloved land may be maintained against a courageous, well-equipped an.d determined foe. One full look on the young men who are going to the front; one earnest thought on what they must face; one serious reflection on. thte homes they have left, the comforts they have sur rendered, the peaceful and generally happy life they enjoyed: the pros pects for advancement in education or business they have foregone should so touch our hearts that n.o one would hesitate as to the answer to be given this week." Dr. Krenier closed his Impressive appeal in these wol-ds— "What, shall we do for our boys? What would God have us do —for our own boys from this great United States; for our own hoys from the grand old Keystone State; for our own boys from Harrisburg which has been so responsive to the call of help? Hear the answer from His own word—'lf any provide not' for his own and specially for those of his own household, he hath denied the faith and is worse than, an Infidel'."
