Petrograd, via London, June it- President Wilson’s note to Russia, deal ing with the aims of the United States in the war, is published today by all the morning newspapers. The Novoe Vremya, however, is the only journal which comments editorially on it. “Its aim,” says the Novoe Vremya, “is to meet the artfulness with which Germany has sought to ensnare Rus sian public opinion. The American president realizes the sources of the agitation which has been made in Rus sia and other countries under the same banner of social democracy and false pacifism. A copy (of the note) must be given to every soldier, workman and peasant. “It must open the eye of every one whose brain is not warped by the stu pid and criminal stories that the war was started by capitalists for 'their own benefit. The Russian democracy will be able to see the difference be tween the straightforwaid words of the American democracy and the crude lies by which the servants of the German emperor are trying to deceive the world.” P.Ï ill II 81 !
