Swden Asked to Send Ship to Take
Away Some 800 Refugees
Washington, Aug. 20.-Sweden
has been asked by the Swedish con-
sular office at Moscow, acting for
the American and allied consuls
there, to send ship to Petrograd
to take away 200 refugees or If this
l simpossible, to obtain permission
for these persons to pass through Fin
land.
1t Is assumed here that the refu-
gees are American and allied citi-
zens seeking escape from Russia.
Under date of August II, the Swed-
ish consul general at Moscow re-
ported that the German government
had refused safe conduct for any
refugees including consular officers,
and 1t was believed this refusal
would stand until negotiations were
concluded with England concern
in gthe treatment of Germans in
China.
A report dated August 16 said
the Bolsheviki authorities had agreed
to permit the consuls to depart, and
that the military missions of Great
Britain and France were preparing
to leave Moscow by way of Astrakan

GERMANS FINDING BRAVE MEN IN
AMERICANS.

In the battle preliminaries in which
a the American troops in France have been
r engaged, our soldiers have, it may be
{ asserted, conducted themselves even bet
ter than could have been expected of
green troops. The Americans have not
+ been accustomed to war; and especially
; to the kind of war that is being carried
} on in Europe, while they have been OPP
posed to an army which has been born
and bred in militarism and which, in adj
dition, has been going through nearly
four years OF the multtudinous phases
of the so-called modern warfare. The
Germans were veterans in every sense OF
the word, and they were guided by Off
GERS who have been given exact training
practical operations as well. So it is
said with some degree of certainty that
the Germans, as far as training and ex
perience are concerned, had a marked
| superiority over the Americans Never
| theless when it has come down to the
| final test of the mettle Of the opposing
forces the Americans have proven them
selves to be fully the equal of their ad-
| versaries in physical courage; they have
stood their ground manfully they have
given back full measure OF the blows de.
liyered by the Germans, To be sure,
the laurel of victory has not always been
placed on the brow of the Americans in
these preliminary brushes at arms; now
and then the Americans have come off |
second best, largely through the disad
vantage of lesser training and more loose |
organization. But in every clash of this
nature the Americans have stood up to
their task as individuals with courage
and determination; man for man they
have met the foe and have not been
found wanting.
This attitude among green troops, men
taken from civilian life and transformed
into soldiers, and among regular soldiers
who have seen little of actual fighting, is
a splendid tribute to the American spirit,
the spirit which is going to be power
full factor toward winning the war
against the central powers. The United
States and all the American people are
their representatives at the I
front and are noting every movement
as it is given to them through the official
censor. Up to the present time they
have learned nothing to make them
ashamed of their boys in Europe and
they expect to see them match up well
with the British, the French and the
Italians who are fighting shoulder to
shoulder with them. II

were, as we understand it, passed by the
medical examiners of the local boards
the applicants having been men subject
to the draft. During the operation of
the first draft machinery there was no
such wholesale rejection of men from
Vermont, showing that the medical ex
aminers, who were the same, we believe,
as now employed, must have been mis-
instructed as to the requirements of the
war department at the present time A
great deal of confusion might be avoided
if repeated instructions were to be given
to the examining boards.
