RUSSIANS IDLE WHILE
AWAITING ORDERS
(By Associated Press. J

Camp de Mailly, Quarters of the
Russian forces in France, May 27.-
The Russian troops awaiting orders
here to join their French comrades
at the front are living an idle life
in this lower corner of the old prov
ince of Champagne; it is a life that
is so full of the picturesque that it
constitutes perhaps the greatest at
traction that has been witnessed in
the department of the Aube.
Fraternizing with the French SOL
diers quartered in another part of
the camp, these men show no need
of repose after their 7S days of hard
sea voyage They appear as supple
as their French comrades, although
alongside of them they look some
thing like giants The entire camp
exhales an atmosphere of gayety
confidence and discipline which Is
quite as striking as their individual
appearance.
Tommy Atkins" can teach them
nothing in the way of hygiene and
cleanliness. Men, privates and sub
altern officers, take pride and care
in looking after the barracks.
"They are excellent soldiers" Gen
eral Lotchwasky said simply to the
Associated Press correspondent in re-
ply to compliments upon their bear
ing and appearance.
Many Of my men might be called
veterans, although you see that there
are very few who are not still young.
They have seen hard service and are
penetrated through and through with
the military spirit; what makes
them particularly happy is the OPP
portunity to come to fight for France
against the common adversary on
French soil
These Russians appear impatient
to get TO the front. They are mostly
peasant boys. tall muscular and
with every mark Of real sons of the
soil, as simple as they are robust,
and as frank and outspoken as they
are vigorous.
Are we soon to march against the
Germans?" asked one of the young
subaltern officers, while all the men
gathered around him approved the
inquiry with a gesture of the head.
A new contingent of these men ar
rived on May 8 and this same in
uuiry was the first thing they had to
say on reaching the camp. Discre-
tion prevents disclosing how many
OF theme there are here, csnd since
they continue to arrive 1t is impos-
sible to conclude as yet whether their
presence is simply a sort of platonic
expression Of sympathy from the
Russian army, or whether their force
is expected to add a real element OF
strength to the entente allies on this
front

devotion towards us by the sons.

STARTLING ASSERTIONS
REGARDING HONESTY
BY v. F. FANN|N
AT WINSTON
(By 4. A. Moreno)

Before gathering of about sixty
people, including men and women and
children, at the Winston school house
last night, the question of the roads
and bonds were discussed by one
speaker for the bonds and two against
the bonds.
Commissioner J. c. Swindel presid-
ed and introduced Secretary A. j.
Holworthy of the Lakeland Chamber
of Commerce, as the speaker for
good roads. Mr.. Holworthy spoke on
the benefits of the roads to all and
every community, what the com
missioners and the Polk County Good
Roads Association had done to secure
the best plans and materials for the
roads that would be constructed. He
also told how the interest of the peo-
pie would be safeguarded and con
cluded his speech by demonstrating
with figures showing the comparative
cost between the sheet-asphalt roads
and the clay road, would be a saving
of over 100000 at the end of 20
years in favor of sheet asphalt.
He was followed by Mr.. WE. Fannin,
who took occasion to berate the city
government of Lakeland, and all con-
Injected with it, saying it was 1.-The rot
tenest proposition" that was ever put
over on a people; he candidly and
prouufully confessed that he was cor
ruptible, and in insinuating that the
bond trustees. the commissioners, the
advisory board and the contractors
would graft, acknowledged that If he
were in their place that he would do
so. His excuse for such remarkable
statements was based on the grounds
that he was human and so were they.
The burden of his remarks were of
/ the same tenor and the only thing
that he said that all parties agreed
on was. that the roads towards Au-
burndale and Loughman were so bad
that a buzzard would bog his shadow
trying to get over them
He was followed by Sike Bryant,
who rung all the change. on the
tune of good old Polk that he could
call to mind, and inveighed against
Wall street and warned his hearers
against the predatory rich who would
shackle bonds upon the people and
take away their women and children
as slaves. He cited ancient history
as to slaves building the roads for
their masters, and said the bonds is
sue would bring the citizens of Polk
County to this, if it carried. He
spoke of the chances for graft say
ing no precautions were thrown
around the expenditure of the money,
evidently overlooking the fact that
the Trustees, the Commissioners and
the contractors are all responsible
men, and will be put under bond for
the faithful and honest Carrying out OF
their duties.
The sympathy of the crowd was
evidently with the sentiments of the
anti-bond speakers and what they
stood for, particularly were the re-
marks of Mr.. Fannins in regard to
the frailty of himself vociferously ap
iplauded.
An attempt was made by the anti
bond men to get Mr.. Galloway to
speak but he declined to take part
in such proceedings, Chairman Swim
del answered both Mr.. Fannin and
Bryant in short sentences on points
concerning which they had made to-

His talk indicated possibility OF graft
then on the State as was at Birming-

Comrade Allen extended to the
Camp an invitation to attend the un-
yelling Of a monument at Brooksvtlle,
Fla, on June Bird, next. He expressed
a desire for us all to attend. Allen
also made a good talk, Joining ana
agreeing with Comrade Tucker in his
eulogy to W. v. Knots past service

credit for a controlling power in our
securing the increase in our pensions.
