Tba members of the American
ooxbonee.oo, beaded by EliboRoot,
arrivad eafoly at Petrcgrad, tbeUus-
aian capitol. It was a. long journey
'a journey roaght witb vital inapor
tanoe to all liberty loving conn
trie!. The oororaisHion was well
'reoeived. Mr. Root ex plained to
the council of ministers, not only
the purpose of the commission,
bat why ItaeBia should btand
Bhoulder' to ' shoulder with the
'United Statea and her allied na
lions now engaged fighting for
tbe preservation of democracy
and the establishment of a world,
'wide freedom for all of the people.
Mr. Root's address brought forth a
strong response of approval from
the foremost men of the strug
Cling republic of Bussia. Tbey Bay
the Ruaaian bear will renew the
battle with renewed energy. The
affect of the oommission'a tfforts
are already evident, inasmuch that
tbe working olaaaea and the sol
diers of the Rreat bear country
atly tamed down tbe seprata
'Austrian peace overtures, ( Ger
man proposition,) made to them
by Austrian socialist?. And th. n
the renewed Houvity of Rupsin'e

many of whom sneak in on a one

and consequently the number of
deer in the mountains has been
reduced to a minimum, and it is
high time that non-resident game
and fish hogs be made to toe the
mark. Mr. Kouult la imminently
correct in bin stand and the state
and all good citizens should stand
by him.
Uncle Sam is now after Em run
