operate with the forces holding the
new front, 1t is pointed out that
this would not be in the nature of
American interference in Russian in
ternal affairs, but a case similar to
American and British troops helping
France.
Hard as it may be for Russia to
dous sacrifices made at the beginning
Of the war and the paralysis of the
army under the Bolsheviki and Ger
man propaganda, the officials. assert
that Russia will carry on till the time
a general peace is agreed on in COM
mon with the Allies.
The fact that the Germans them
selves cannot make up their minds
regarding the Bolsheviki peace meet
ing the approval of the Russian peo-
Pile is shown, it Is said, by the report
of a meeting in German eastern
headquarters early this month. News
of this meeting was received in Rus
sian quarters here through what is
said to be trustworthy neutral
source and was to the effect that the
civil and military authorities differed
on the question. The civil authori-
ties were willing to accept the Bolshe-
Wiki offer, but the military leaders
pointed out that to make such a peace
would only compromise Germany.
This opinion also is said to be held
in Austria.

5000 MARINES
Modified AT
BUENOS AIRES

Buenos Aires, Argentina. Dec. 12-
Three thousand marines from all parts
Of the republic have been modified in
Buenos. Aires. The official explana-
ton Of this move is that it is pre-
caution against the threatened general
strike set for Jan. 1.
It Is generally believed in political
circles here, however, that the chief
reason for the mobilization was to OBJ
tain support for the president during
the period Of the special session of
congress, which will be opened on Fri
day. Those who thus interpret the ac-
ton Of the government say that the
mobilization has been confined to the
marines, who are known to be more
loyal than. the army.

at the request of Major Amos Martin
who this week wired the San Francisco
headquarters that certain newspaper
agencies were persistently attacking
the regiment. making indirect charges
and inuendoes. and that the matter had
gone before the legislature. While he
did not ask that the inspector gener-
al be sent to Boise he suggested that
some officer be designated to pass up
on the affairs at the barracks and the
regiment, for the good Of the SER
vice."
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE.
Major Martin takes the stand that he
thought 1t was for the best interests of
both the army and the national guard
that someone from the department pass
upon the regiment and barracks con-
ditions. This step was taken merely
as a precautionary measure. Major
Martin informed the legislative COM
mittees 1t was without authority to
make q formal inspection Of the bar
racks or regiment, which are under the
jurisdiction Of the war department Of
the federal government, but an in
formal inspection could be made and
oil matters looked into.

tation and carefully investigated all
matters at the post, including the bids
Tor foodstuffs and supplies, together
with correspondence in relation to
them. destinations were made that
these bids needed scrutiny to deter
mine Just what they contained.
Major Martin said that he had only
refused one man permission to look into
the bids and correspondence but the
press or anyone else, who made a re-
spectful request. could inspect them.
GAYS NOTHING WRONG.
There 10 nothing wrong at all at
the barracks or in connection with the
regiment, or the bids" said Major Mar
tin. Il thought that In face Of the
charges made 1t is for the best inter-
ests Of the army and the national
guard that the barracks be inspected
and affairs of the regiment looked into
before rehabilitation"

the regiment might not be delayed. We

in the presence of the enemy.
We find that young men eager to
