Prompt recognition accorded the now, government by the United States gave encouragement and help to the council of ministers and their supporters, the department was informed, while President Wilson's allusion to the Russian revolution in his address to Congress made a deep, lasting impression on the people. The address has been translated, and is being given wide circulation in pamphlet form.
No people, says the report, ever have made greater sacrifices for freedom than the Russians, and they fully realize that a separate peace would jeopardize all they have gained. The American form of government has been taken as the model of the Russian people, and the participation of the United States has infused in them a confident spirit. They believe they have an army unparalleled in number, unexcelled in courage, and led by commanders of ability and patriotism. If Americans are incensed at the intrigues and underhanded machinations of Germany in their midst and on their borders, this message declares, the Russians have fourfold cause for like resentment, and will make any sacrifice rather than conclude a separate peace.
