Sign of Loyalty Of

Although thSir mother country has
signed a peach pact with the Ger

Russian regulars were landed at
Marseilles have not laid down their
arms. That the legion, which is
known to be at least 1000 strong.
has remained steadfast and has been
entrusted with duty at important
points was disclosed yesterday for
the first time when an excerpt from
a French army general order. prais-'
ing the work of the RUSSIANS. was
made public by the Russian embassy
here. "
The, excerpt reads:
"The First Battalion Of the Rus
sion legion on April 26, 1918, de-
livered an attack with spirited i'm
petus and magnificent disdain to
death; held the conquered position
notwithstanding the continuous
counter-attacks and bombardment
to the highest admiration of all.
THE order Is signed by Gen. Dau-
gen. commander of the division OF
which the battalion was a part.

the salient driven by the Germans
toward Hazebrouck. in an effort to
break the British line and force Q
passage to the Channel.
Russians Here Are Pleased.
The announcement of the attitude
of the Russian legion is considered
highly important here as 1t is known
that the personnel of the organiza-
tion is of q high order. the major
tity OF its members being young men
of the better class who were being
educated in France or whose par
ents were living in France.
Prominent Russians here, who are
known to favor action by the al
lies looking to military interven-
ton in Siberia, expressed satisfac-
tion in the news that their country
men were continuing the battle
against German aggression. 1t was
, also said that in the event that al
lied Intervention was carried out by
the allies in Siberia there would be
little doubt that the Russian legion
would volunteer to aid in organic
ing the patriots OF Siberia.

METALS USE FOR OTHER
. THAN WAR, Is WRONG

Government control OF iron and
steel will be exercised in behalf of
the industries and activities essential
TO winning the war, according to q
letter writtn by George Day. chief
OF oil well supplies of the Food Ad-
ministration. TO A. c. Bedford. chair
man of the National Petroleum War
Service Committee.
Mr. Day states that every pound
OF steel or iron diverted from the
construction of ships. airplanes and
munitions has a retarding effect upon
the completion of the government S
war program, and would be an un-
patriotic use OF these materials.
Mr.. Days letter was an effort TO
change the impression created in the
minds OF consumers that the action
OF the War Trade Board in takinG
over these commodities would curtaIl
the supply.
