Very probably many English readers
will be puzzled by the intelligence
from New York that "dealer In junk"
has been arrested in connection with
the Archangel explosion. The express
sion does not mean that the accused
dealt In kind Of sailing vessel fa-
vored by the Chinese. Junk" in good
United States, means the kind of lum-
her which accumulntes in household,
and in England would be either thrown

AMERICANS EXCEL TEACHERS.
Picked eammies Dsfeat French Blue
Devils With Gun and Bomb.

American Field Headquarters in
France. Aug. IA detachment of pick
ed Sammies yesterday defeated SINH
lar body Of famous French "blue devils"
in contest of automatic rifle work and
grenade distance throwing.
The ''blue devils have been acting
as instructors to the Sammies,' but so
proficient have the Americans become
in the war work that they easily beat
their teachers at their own game. The
sammies, firing from the hip. scored
twelve and even eighteen hits from each
automatic clip. The French were unable
to approach this record. The Sammies
and the "blue devils" are on the most
friendly terms q strong mutual admir-
alton having asserted itself.
Texans, Kansans, boys from Illinois,
Californians and New Workers have
been noundering for days in rich, yell
low French mud Despite. this however
they are picking up the trench warfare
game rapidly. The tournament in which
the Sammies were victorious was con-
tested regardless Of the rain, which has
turned the entire countryside into a
Quagmire.
From now on non-commissioned
American officers are to study the
front in relays to study trench fight
ing. The metal helmets which the
tsammies will wear when they go into
the trenches have now been distributed
and are being worn during the practice
battles"

Disorders in Russia

pleted its work, was in Chicago today

there is scarcely more disorder in Rus
sia than there is in the United States
Certain disturbances are inevitable
in a change sof government so radical
as that Of Russia" said Mr.. Root.
"and cable dispatches deal largely with
these disturbances.
Hence the impression Is made that
nothing is going on in Russia except
demonstrations. AS a matter Of fact,
II reports of disturbances In the United
States were distributed in Russia-race
riots, the 1. w. w. and the like-Rus-
sia would have about the same picture
Of us as we now have Of them.
II have faith in the new Russian
ministry and the new Russian future
as in the aims Of the allies. Russian
women are doing wonderful work in
shaming the men into fighting, and
when necessary hope American
women win follow their example,"
