RUSSIAN ARMY
is DEFENDED
BY KERENSKY
Isaac Don Levine Says Pre-
mier's S Criticism of Brit
ish Merited.
By ISAAC DON LEVINE.

New York. Nov. 2.-Kerensky's criti-
cism of the British navy comes in an
swer to the persistent British criticism,
of the Russian army. Where is the
great British feet, now that the Ger
man fleet is out in the Baltic" is a
question now widely asked by Rus
slams. according to Kerensky.
Where is the Russian army. now
that the Germans are smashing the
Italians" is the allied question that
has provoked Kerensky's retort.
1t is high time that the world be-
gan to understand the Russian view
point, whether 1t is right or wrong,
and the Russian viewpoint is that
food of criticism directed by Great
Britain against the Russian army has
been an insult to the Russian people.
Why? Because the Russian people
believe that Great Britain's navy and
the Russian army are now in exactly
the same position. Both were on the
defensive. The British navy confines
itself to defending the British Isles
The Russian army confines itself TO
defending Russian soil, the former

fleet in check. The latter Keeps lf7
Teuton divisions on the eastern front.
Want Naval Offensive.
II Britain is demanding of Russia
a continuous military offensive. Rus
sian public opinion argues. then why
does not her fleet maintain naval
offensive? Before the United States
~
there might have been some justifica-
tion for the British plea that it would
be too hazardous to risk her navy in
offensive operations. But now, should
even the British feet be destroyed. the
American navy would be in a posi-
ton to continue the blockade of Ger
many.
II the British insist on Russians
risking millions more of her men,
continues the Russian argument, to
bring succor to her allies. then why
should not Great Britain risk a num-
Der of her naval vessels to aid the
new Russia?
Such is the Russian position. II
was for the purpose of challenging
it that the correspondent who in
terviewed Kerensky must have sug-
Sested that besides the British navy
there is also a British army. And
it was in answer to this sugges-
tiOn that Kerensky retorted: Rus
sia has fought consistently since
the beginning. She saved France
and England from disaster early in
the war. Russia began the war for
the allies, while Russia was already
fighting England was only prepar-
ing and America only observing.
She has been fighting one and one
half years longer than England"

TROOPS GUARD OIL;

Petrol at Houston Is for American

Houston, Texas, Nov. .. United
States troops are tonight guarding i'm
mense stores of oil for the American
and allied navies against possible
damage by the LIS workmen who are
on strike IN the Humble and Sour
Lake oil fields. No violence has been

The soldiers are heavily armed and

All saloons in the affected districts
have been closed by military order.

Nine men gave their lives when the
transport Finland was stricken by an
unseen German submarine as she
was returning from foreign waters.
The War and Navy Departments last

the casualties occurred has been re-

somewhat mystifed by the report.

Despite the fact that the Finland
was enabled to return to a European
port under her own steam. five men

dead" one as missing and one as

report as given out indicates that
there are others wounded and pos

The men Of the various services

a group of these men were possi-

The explosion must nave been of
tremendous force to have blown so

condition the prompt closing of
