WILSON PLEDGES AID TO RUSSIA AGAINST FOE

On, the eve of the gathering at Moscow of the Russian congress of soviets which is to pass judgment on the German-made peace, accepted by the Bolsheviki at Brest-Litovsk. president Wilson has sent a message of sympathy to the Russian people through the congress with a pledge that the United States will avail itself of every opportunity to <id them in driving out autocracy and restoring to Russia her place in the world with complete sovreignty and independence. The United States now recognizes no government in Russia but the president cabled the message to the American counsel at Moscow for delivery today to the congress, which is made up of soldiers’ and workmen’s representatives and speaks for at least a considerable part of the Russian people.
