PETROGRAD, June 22.—Elihu
Root seen by the Uni:--.i :’ress StuIt
Correspondent here touay said that,
the entire situation in Russia was
improving. The normal conditions,
or as norma! as could be expected
in wartime, were being restored.
The government’s organization of
the various political and industrial
activities were meeting the needs ot
the situation.
The final licpe of Germany of a
separate peace had vanished when
the socialist Swiss delegate trying
to effect this was finally asked to
leave b> the Duma. The govern
ment told Grimm that unless he
could come from fellow revolution
ists who intended to clean house in
Germany, lie could not he consider
ed as a welcome guest by the re
public of Russia.
Grimm has been trying to nego
