V
Washington, July 5. Boris-Bakh-
metieff, the new Russian Amba86ador,
presented his credentials to President
"Wilson today and was formally re
ceived as the first permanent diplomatic
representative here of the Russian de
mocracy. He assured the President
again of Russia's steadfast adherence
to the alliance against Germany and
was told by President Wilson that every
confidence is felt here in the purposes
of the new government.
With the formal ceremony the Am
bassador has a permanent status - in
place of his temporary position as bead
of the Russian war mission.
War to Consolidate Russia.
"At the present time." said Mr. Bakh
metleff, addressing the President, "the
historical paths of Uic United States
and Russia have oecn drawn closely in
the common etru&gle for freedom and
lasting peace of the world, and in this
strife the new-born Russian democracy
is beint guided by the same unselfish
aims, the same humane and democratic
principles as this great republic. The
success of our mutual tasks makes es
sential the firm establishing of the
democratic regime in Russia as well
as the consolidation of Russia a fight
ing power.
"To that end are tending the efforts
of the present government, which is
awaiting to find a source of new
strength in the hearty spirit and
brotherly support of the United States.
For such attainments the provisional
government is endeai oring to establish
a full understanding and a close co
operation with the Government of this
country, whose immense resources and
unlimited energy can contribute most
effectively to the achievements of our
cause. i
Exceptional Power Granted.
"To bring such co-operation into eT
feet the provisional government has
considered it necessary' to bestow on
me exceptional powers to treat and de
cide on behalf of my government all
manifold Questions in which such co
operation should have to reveal itself.
"Confident that the natural sym
pathy of the two nations will grow
now into bonds of solid friendship, I
look forward with the greatest hopes
to the results of united efforts of the
two great democracies, based on
mutual understanding and common
ends."
The President replied as follows:
"To the keen satisfaction which I
derived from the fact that the Govern
ment of the United States was th first
to welcome, by its official recognition,
f the new democracy of Russia to the
family of free states. Is added the ex
ceptional pleasure which I experience
. in now receiving from your hand the
letters whereby the provisional govern
ment of Russia accredits you as its
, Ambassador extraordinary and pleni
' potentiary to the United States and in
according to you formal recognition as
the first Ambassador of free Russia to
.this country.
Good Keeling Growing.
"For the people of Russia the peo
ple of the United States have enter
tained friendly feelings which have
been now greatly deepened by the
knowledge that, actuated by the same
lofty motives, the two governments
and peoples are hoping to bring to a
successful termination the conflict now
raging for human liberty and a uni
versal acknowledgment of those prin
ciples of right and justice which should
direct all governments.
"I feel convinced that when this
happy day shall come, no small share
or the credit will be due to the de-1
Voted people of Russia, who. overcom
ing disloyalty from within and intrigue
from without, remain steadfast to the
cautte. -
"The mission which it was my pleas
tire to send to Russia has .already as
sured the provisional government that
in this momentous struggle and in the
problems that confront and will con
front the free government of Russia,
that government may count on the
steadfast friendship of the Government
of the United States and its constant
co-operation in all desired appropriate
directions.
Mew Government Complimented.
"It only remains for me to give ex
pression to my admiration of the way
in which the provisional government
of Russia is meeting all requirements,
to my entire sympathy with them in
their noble object to insure to the
people of Russia the blessings of free
dom and equal rights and opportunity
and to my faith that through their ef
forts Russia will assume her rightful
place among the great free nations of
the world."
Tonight the Ambassador gave a din-
Tier to American officials as an expres
eion of gratitude for the reception ac
corded the mission in this country.

Others Wonder What to Do If 3Iess
Call Breaks In on Battle Men

and Fight, for Solution.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 6 Despite
the fact that the regulations mean as
much to the rookies at the Reserve Of
ficers" training camp here as the Koran
means to the Mohammedan, there is
much speculation as to how these reg
ulations can be followed in certain
emergencies. As a consequence, Lieutenant-Colonel
Fred W. Sladen is hav
ing more questions to answer than a
railroad intelligence bureau.
One rooky wanted to- know if he
should keep right on marching if his
shoestrings came loose. Another want
ed to know if it was against the rules
to chew tobacco on a forced march. A
third wanted advice as to whether -he
could hang his handkerchief out to dry
on a musket stack.
Other inquirers asked what they
should do if their hats blew off dur
ing a charge, or if the mess call came
while they were tangled up in a hand-to-hand
affair with the enemy.
Wrist Wntcbea Perturb.
Wrist watches have caused all sorts
of perturbation. The rookies seek ad
vice on whether they can carry these
into action. Some have even asked if
they can distribute literature boosting
their home towns on their way to the
front.
Sladen has advised these inquirers
that they will not be subject to court-
martial if they keep right on fighting
after a mess call, or do not secure fly
ing shoestrings on forced march. He
is pleased to see the regulations being
studied so closely, and declares the
emergencies will take care of them
selves.
The larger question of conduct while
under fire is also engrossing the at
tention of the men. They seek all the
information they can get on that topic.
and nothing is being withheld from
them.
Toward this end the men are grad
ually being introduced to trench war
fare, the operation of machine guns, the
throwing of hand grenades and bomb
ing and mining operations. It is hint
ed around camp that the gas mask will
soon make its appearance, and the men
will be initiated into some of the ways
of avoiding the horrors of the asphyx
iating fumes. If this is to come it will
doubtless make its appearance when
the actual trench "fighting" begins
soon.
"X Mail's Land" to Be Feature.
'No Man's Land' will be a feature
of the camp, for two opposing lines of
trenches are to be constructed, with
all their impedimenta of dugouts, lat
erals and individual shelters. Here for
several days actual war will have an
equally grim reflection. There will be
bomb attacks and bayonet charges.
There will be every feature that goes
to make up a 20th century engagement.
The men will dig-the ditches and live
in them. Above-ground warfare will
play second fiddle.
The rookies will dash across "No
Man's Land" in efforts to force the op
posing companies out of their shelters
and into the open. They will fight
long range and hand-to-hand, and then
their question will be answered as to
how they should act under fire.
The trench fighting is expected to be
the supreme effort of the camp. Most
of what has gone before has simply
been preliminary to this final test. As
near as possible the Presidio will be
made to mirror the west front, and the
engagements will have every appear
ance of a detached melee between the
forces of the allies and the Germans.
The trenches will be an exact replica
of those on the west front, and the
methods employed in attack, and de
fense will b identical.
whose operations are chiefly involved
in the strike will attend.
Lumbermen presented to the Wash
ington State Defense Commission a
brief asking that troops be called to
guard endangered centers, and are ex
pected to take this same ground in the
Idaho proceedings. They declare that
the supply of labor is sufficient to
renew operations if the fear of th. In
dependent Workers of the World re
ripsals against the men willing to work
is eliminated.
None of the alleged plans to close
down sawmills over July 4 was suc
cessful, according to reports to the log
gers' headquarters, and the strike situ
ation is not materially changed. The
mills have still on hand as much as
three weeks" supply of logs, though the
camps from which the supply Is ob
tained are all shut down.

EAST ST. LOUIS, 111.. July 5. The
interruption to the industrial life of
this city and to the commercial life of
St. Louis as a result of the exodus of
negro labor that followed the race riots
Monday arrested the attention of busi
ness men of the two cities today.
The Chamber of Commerce of East
St. Louis adopted a resolution urging
the negro workmen who fled from East
St. Louis to return, promising protec
tion of life and property.
The traffic commissioner of the St.
Louis Chamber of- Commerce took up
with the railway and terminal officials
the interruption of freight movement
that has resulted from the exodus of
negroes employed in the freight and
switching yards.
Railway and packing-house officials
said today that they needed the negroes
in their old Jobs, and if they did not
return a general curtailment of busi
ness would be unavoidable.
The Chamber of Commerce also In
structed a committee to demand the
reorganization of the police and fire
departments of East St. Louis and to
call on Attorney-General Brundage, of
Illinois, to assist a committee on
prosecutions in ferreting out and pun
ishing the ringleaders of Monday's
rioting.

WASHINGTON. July S. More com.
plete and efficient co-cperation of
United States secret service agents
with those of European allies is recog
nized as the great problem that must be
met In stamping out the spy evil.
While it was stated today that oper
atives of the State, War, Navy and Jus
tice Departments are co-operating with
good results in running down active
alien enemies, it was strongly indi
cated that much remained to be accom
plished in relationships with the serv
ices of foreign countries.
Representatives of the allies already
are in this country, it is understood,
and are working to bring about the
desired co-operation.
The machinery of the departments,
built up almost entirely for the han
dling of domestic problems, was sud
denly required to shoulder the imme
diate burden of coping with thousands
of plotters and spies. The recovery of
the system from the first shock, offi
cials declare, was excellent. Visiting
missions have expressed surprise and
admiration at the progress made.
Many schemes set on foot by enemy
plotters have been thwarted and it is
said that the archives of the depart
ment hold recards of activities which
i made known, would be of a startling
nature.
That the attacks upon American
transports were the result of the work
of spies is accepted in Washington
without surprise. The sailing of trans
ports, although not mentioned by the
newspapers, was known to a large
number of persona who witnessed the
transfer of troops from mobilization
points in the United States to the
ships.
Officials are inclined to discount
theories of spies working in Govern
ment departments. - Information of
direct value is known to only a few
trusted officials. Suspected individuals
have been subjected to strict surveil
lance and discharges from public
service among this class have grown
Denials were general today that the
work of the United States Secret
Service operatives had caused dissen
sion in the Cabinet. It was asserted
that for some time the departmental
agents had been wprkine in complete
harmony and accord.
