WONDERS OF MIDNIGHT SUN
Storage Passengers Spend Three Days
and Nights Clad in Life Preserv-
ers - Sight Not Pleasant -
Travel in Russia Is Slow.

Raymond Carney, who has just re
turned from Russia where he spent the
lats year as representative of the
Thomas B. Jeffrey Company, tells in
terestingly of his journey to that war
ring country and of his stay there.
1--WE left this country July 5, last
summer said Mr.. Carney, ION Rus
sian-American ship. There were only
two more first class passengers on the
liner besides myself, the rest were sec
ond class and Storage.
"The liner had large cargo of boots
for the soldiers aboard also other war
material, while tucked away in her was
SO much barb wire that we felt sure
she would sink before she got anywhere
near Russia.
GIVE went round by way of Iceland,
which we saw through field glasses.
The sight is great, mountains Of ice
run up into the clouds and sheets and
sheets of ice extend out into the ocean.
At the North Cape we were for six
days enveloped in fog.
One of the most wonderful sights
/ ever saw was the land of the Mid
night Sun. The sun there never gets
lower than it does here at D. m.
You stay up as long as you like, then
sleep as you like and eat when you
get hungry
In the White Sea we met four
English trawlers, who came to meet us
ard mapped out for US the course to
take. They told us that they THOUGHT
we would be. safe as they had that
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1916-07-27

morning swept the course and cleaned
up 10 mines.
:" The way they clean up these mines
is thus: Four trawlers set out with
cables stretched from stern to stern,
under the water of course, and drag
ging along To these the mines cling,
for the mines are sunk only a certain
distance below the surface.
- The steerage passengers were so
scared while In this zone that for the
last three days and nights they ate and
slept in their life preservers, all the
time on edge lest something happen.
The sight was not the most quoting to
one s nervous system.
"On reaching the port of Arch An
gel, Russia, we saw two tramp English
freighters that had been struck by
mines. The holes in their sides were so
large that team of horses could have
driven through them and I can It see
how they kept afoat.
"Walter johnson, the American avi-
ator for the Curtiss people, met us at
the port, for our destination Petrograd
was 600 miles away-not pleasant
journey if one does not understand the
language. It took three days and two
nights to get there and 800 miles of the
distance was through forests.
Travelling via Russian railroads is
no picnic. The trains are very dinky
affairs and wood is burned to produce
the steam. You have hardly started
out when the engine takes short va
cation due to having to take on wood
and water. The crew gets out, takes a
bath IN the stream and before leaving
takes drink from the same waves.
Petrograd before the war, it is said.
had population of 100000, but war
refugees have added 100000. It has
large and many wonderful buildings,
but most Of them are mighty dirty
looking.
!" When we first landed in Russia the
soldiers were going to the front I'M
armed and they got their arms, SO we
understood, by picking them up when
the soldiers fell, their own ranks or the
enemy s.
- The Americans in Russia do not
know nearly as much regarding the
war as we do here. When the Allies
are victorious it is known by the cele-
brations that are everywhere held.
Losses are kept from the people because
they occasion riots and uprisings.o

portance to the American navy and
st. Thomas itself lies in the lane Of
shipping from Europe to the Panama
canal Important German and French

The acquisition of the islands BY
the United States has been the sub
iect Of unsuccessful diplomatic nego
tiations since the civil war.
1t is said that if the proposed treaty

transfer will be submitted to the PEG
pie of the island. In the first negotia
tiation in 1855 they approved :

of Porto Rico, has an area of eighty
four square miles, and is the most
prosperous Of the group, with its two
