the shores of the White Sea several
months ago, there were reports that
American troops were cooperating
with them, but it substantially de-
veloped that the forces were marines
from American warships. The troops.

ed, are the first from the United
States to be sent into northern Rus
sia.

of the north which has been set up
at Archangel and through which il
is hoped to reestablish order in Rus
sia and overcome German influence

Talk of Surrender Means Instant
Death.

With the American Army, France
Sept. 10 (By the Associated Press).
The American troops Of all units
have been instructed to kill on the
spot any one who in time of battle
urges surrender or attempts to per-
suade them that further resistance
is useless.
TheSo instructions which originat-
81 Nth certain division and have
now been universally adopted be-
cause they proved so popular, were
made necessary because some one IN

attack on Fismes on Angus 27 ral
among the troops, calling upon them
to cease resistance and declaring
that the, officers advised surrender.
The Instructions point out tha:
these statements were absolutely
false, and added:
THE person who spreads sach an
alarm is either an enemy in our ani-
form. or one of our own troops who
is disloyal and a traitor, or one o.
our troops who has become a panic
stricken coward.
Whoever he is he should be shot
on the spot. In battle there is no
time to inquire into the identity or
motives Of persons who create pan
fc or. disorganization or who advise
surrender
1t is the duty of every officer and
soldier to kill on the spot any per-
son who in a fight urges any one to
surrender or stop Lighting. 1t makes
no difference whether the person is "a
stranger Or a friend, officer or pri-
vate."
The instructions conclude with the
statement that a German soldier was
found mortally wounded far inside
the American lines at Fismette. He
had lived for long time in Ameri
ca and spoke English we'll and pos
sibly he intended to get an American
uniform and create doubt Or disor-
