"-Warm appreciation of the cordial feeling shown by the people and Gov ernment of the United States toward the new regime In Russia was ex pressed today by Foreign Secretary Milukoff In a statement to the Asso 1 elated Press. "The old regime was a heavy drag -'.! rot only on Russia's relations with her allies, but on all foreign relations," he sald. "Thousands of telegrams of congrat ulations and good wishes are coming ' ,;' from the United States, not to speak of '- i the formal recognition of the provl " j Fiona! government by the Washington Government This has served to show that it Is only the old regime which has been standing for a long time in the way of entire solidarity between the United States and Russia. Free Countries Allied. Professor Milukoff emphasized par ticularly his satisfaction at the atti tude of American Ambassador David R. Francis towards the political change in Russia. He said that the entente to which the new Russian government had nvon the sympathies of the American public was Indicated' by a telegram he had received from Jacob H. Schlff, of Kew York, who was long opposed to the Russian autocracy, wishing success lor the new government in Its task. "There Is no doubt," he continued "that the addition of Russia to the ranks of the modern democratic ooun tries will strengthen the adhesion of the United States to the cause of the allies. Free countries may have confi dence In Russia, especially as we now find all free countries 'allied for the tame alms." Dnal Menace Pointed Oat. The following ' proclamation to the people of Petrograd has been issued by A- j. Guchkoff, Minister of war "The enemy is menacing the capital from two directions. First, he Is con centrating continually on our northern xront great quantities of munitions, supplies and men. Second he is con centrating his spies in Petrograd. Steps against the latter are an Immediate necessity. "It Is always & difficult task to un mask these traitors, who hide every where, seeking to cover their criminal activities under the cloak of all social conditions, all trades, wearing all unl forms, mixing themselves with the crowd, in which they .sow discord and spread distrust among the timid and weak. To the enemy's spy system- we must oppose that of our general staff. Citizens and soldiers should be watch ful and wise, for the danger Is great. "Do not confound our anti-spy agents With the secret police of the old regime who have gone forever and who are Useless to the new regime, which gov eras in accord with the will of the neo pie. The new regime will not permit any revival of the old dark forces. "Citizens, be prudent. Do not reveal secrets err national defense. Be vigilant and attentive.

WORK FOR VOTE GOES ON StTFTFRAGISTS TO AID IX PRESENT CRISIS. HOWEVER. No Communication 'With Leaders of Revolt Is to Be Engaged In Un less They Lay Down Their Arms and Obey Laws. HAVANA. March 24. A note from the American Government to the Cuban Government, reiterating the purpose of the United States to support the Cuban Government in its efforts to re-establish order and condemning the con duct of the rebels, waa delivered by William E. Gonzales, the American Minister, today. The note follows: All declarations of the United States Government regarding the ill-conceived conflict In Cuba from the beginning have been made clear and concise. There has been no occasion whatever for misunderstanding and nothing in dlcating that the United States could be forced into action which It has de clared its determination not to adopt. Rebel Reports Denied. "But to remove all pretext of er roneous interpretations and reaffirm the condemnation of the revolt by the United States Government, and its sup port of the constitutional government of Cuba, the United States Government makes the following unmistakable dec laratlon: "It has come to the knowledge of the United States Government that In Cuba propaganda persists that In response to efforts of agents against the consti tutional government, the United States is studying the adoption of measures in their favor. The United States can not understand how its policy could be misunderstood regarding the situation existing In Cuba. Stand Is Reiterated. "To avoid continuation of misunder standings and misinterpretations of the declarations made by the United States Government, which have been published throughout the Cuban Republic, which defined the policy of the United States In Cuba In unmistakable terms, it is desirable to reiterate the essential points of those declarations, to wit: "First The constitutional govern ment of Cuba has been and will con tinue to be sustained and backed by. the Government of the United States In Its efforts to re-establish order throughout the territory of the repub lic Condemnation Is Emphasised. "Secondly The United States Gov ernment, emphasizing its condemnation of the reprehensible conduct of those rising against the constitutional gov ernment in an effort to settle by force of arms controversies for which exist ing laws establish adequate legel reme dies, desires to make known that until those in rebellion recognize their duties as Cuban oltizens, lay down their arms and return to legality, the United States can hold no communication whatever vith any of them and will be forced to regard them as outside the law and unworthy of its consideration." PRINCE CARL IS CAPTIVE ernment have been giving careful at tention to the rounding - up of anti- American plotters and the protection of Government property. Here In Wash ington It Is feared attempts will be made to commit outrages. The Secre tary of War is considering calling out the District National Guard to protect the water supply of the capital, and the railway bridges which form the connecting links of Washington with the South and connect Washington and Fort Myer. Heavy guards also will be furnished for the naval gun foundry, the Washington steel ordnance plant, the Navy-yard and other places. The policy pursued here will be observed elsewhere. Splea to Be Arrested. What Is of direct concern to the Secret Service is the number of spies which are believed to live here. The Department of Justice has a long list of suspects and when Congress acts they will be arrested. Germans In Chi cago, New York and other big cen ters, who have given moral and flnan- j ciai am to Germany, win oe watcnea and if It should be deemed desirable they will be taken into custody. The authorities intend to make th United States an unhealthy place for German-spies or German agents. The President has been In communication with various Governors and is urging them to be prepared to maintain publlo order. In some cases a conflict has arisen, the Governors desiring to use "home guards" to protect bridges, plants, etc.. while the department pre fers the employment of the National Guard. Such complications are being straightened out and tha Government is confident that when the time for action comes It will be apparent that there is complete unity betwen the Federal and state authorities.

We have not de cided upon a location for the offices of the bank and may not do so for a day or two. We shall endeavor to look around on that. 'Also, the central bank here cannot oan directly to Individuals; it must all be done through local associations.

Professor Paul N. Milukoff. the Foreign Minister in the new government, is leader of this Party. Foreign Minister Milukoff has out lined the attitude of the new Russian government In foreign affairs to a num ber of Petrograd and Moscow Journal ists. A Reuter dispatch from Petro grad quotes the Foreign Minister as eaying: "We shall remain faithful to all past alliances similar to that with ' our allies, which will be still further strengthened and become still more cordial and sincere.

Meigban, manager of the Peoples and Star theaters, two of the leading motion picture houses of Portland, is the president of the newly or ganized Oregon Motion Picture Exhibitors' League. He has been in Portland only five months, but during that . period has been so successful in the amusement field that he is recognized as one of the leading exhibitors of the state. This fact, coupled with his personal popularity, led to his election as president of the new film body. The league head has been in the motion-picture Industry for three years. He established one house as a phenomenal success in Ogden, Utah, and then became identified with the Swanson Theater Circuit in the operation of its three houses in Salt Lake.

There has been a great deal of crit icism of the War Department during the past few days because of Its ap parent failure to grasp the Importance and size of tne task confronting It. This criticism largely falls to the ground, however, when it is known that Congress during the last session did not pass any of the bills contain ing appropriations for the support of the Army. 1 ne Army appropriation, Military Academy, sundry civil and general deficiency bills, carrying ap propriations for the land service amounting to several hundred millions of dollars, remained unacted upon. As soon as Congress reassembles the President and Secretary of War hope these bills will be rushed through both Houses. In anticipation of the! passage the department Is preparing to make contracts for huge quantities of food, clothing, guns, arms and ammu nition, aeroplanes and the thousand and one other articles which will be re quired for the troops now in service, as YOU'LL find a definite degree of individual Style in these clothes for Spring; wear them and they will reflect your good taste.

While with Secretary Baker this aft ernoon, the President discussed the question of universal training. It Is known he Is leaning more and more strongly to this project and there is reason to believe that in his address to Congress he will recommend authoriza tion for the training of yoang men. Here again will be encountered the dif ficulty arising from lack of officers. To raise a million men will 'require the expenditure of a huge sum of money. The War Department estimates that & soldier costs the Government S1000 annually. The proposed Army therefore will require an expenditure during the coming year of $1,000,000,000. This money will be obtained through the sale or bonds. Whltlock'a Withdrawal Significant. The withdrawal of Minister' Brand Whitlock and the American Relief Com mission from Belgium is due to the fact that the President expects Con gress to declare the existence of a state of war.
