Americans Participated in Landing OF
Allied Forces at ArchangeI
Last Week.

Kandalaska, Aug. 6.-American
troops participated in the landing OF
the allied forces at Archangel LIST week.
The first detachment of the interna-
tional forces included members of the
Russian officers league.
The participation of the Americans
in the landing has been greeted en-
Enthusiastically in northern Russia.
The people consider that the United
States is absolutely without selfish in
terests as regards Russia and look
upon the Americans as a guarantee OF
the friendliness of the allies toward
Russia.
The population of Archangel re
ceived the troops with cheering. The
men debarked and advanced toward
Archangel, where already an anti-bol-
shevik revolution had taken place. The
leaders in this movement invited the
protection of the allied troops.
The final resistance of the bolsheviH
occurred Saturday. They were def
nitely defeated at the station at
Ysakagorka, on the left bank of the
Dvina.

HOW FIREMEN ARE TRAINED.

Recruits fo- the merchant marine
including coal passers and firemen-
are sent to training ship, for period
Of training as apprentice, not to exceed
two months, before being sent to sea.
The training ship, whether based at
Boston, San Francisco or Seattle. is a
large, comfortable, sturdy vessel, MAX
ing cruises, in which the recruit has
ample time to find himself, and get
into the ways of life aboard ship.
Whether at sea of in port. the ap-
prentice on the training ships are I'M
der kindly and thoughtful direction. in
both their work and play.
Considerable stress is laid on the
latter, for it is recognized by the guild
ing minds in the United States ship

young man taking his first steps in
seafaring must have proper recreation,
to keep at his best, physically and
mentally.
An example of the work done to
make the merchant marine apprentice
happy Is to be had at the Boston train
ing base of the shipping boards At
lantic squadron of training ships.
Here the Y. NJ. C. A. has representa-
tives who work for the apprentices,
just as the "Y" representatives work
for the boys in the army and the navy.
There is hostess house at the station,
where boys may meet their mothers
and sisters an Open-air theater, ball
ground and q canteen, where neces-
sary articles may be bought.
The following program for week
gives an idea of the varied means Of
self-improvement and entertainment
that are opened to the merchant ma
rine apprentice when in training:
Sunday-9 a. m. Catholic mass; 10
a. m. Jewish service; 10 a. m. Protes-
tant service; 80 p. m. music and en-
tertainment on the stage or boats.
Monday 80 p. m. patriotic night.
(War speakers when possible.) At

new DRAFT TO ADD
2,398,0O0 TO ARMY
IS to As Measure introduced in
Both Houses.
TO REPORT BILL OUT SOON
Crowder Suggests September as Date
for National Registration of
Men Within Proposed
New Ages.

Washington, Aug. 6-The new ad-
ministration bill, introduced in both
houses of congress on Monday to in
crease the draft ages so as to include
men between the ages Of eighteen
and fOrty-five, while not unopposed in
both houses Of congress, is practical
Iy certain of adoption.
Provost Marshal General Crowder,
in statement submitted by Senator
Chamberlain, suggests September
as the date for a national registration
Of men within the proposed new ages.
Weekly registration of youths at
tanning the ages of twenty-One during
the next few weeks was proposed by
General Crowder as the only means of
obtaining the 100000 men to be called
to the colors in September. This
could be done by presidential procla-
nation and would add about $4,000 to
the number of men available.
To Add 1888, 900 to Army.
Senator Chamberlain said his COM
mittee had been called to meet to
begin consideration of the bill and
that he hoped to report it out within
a few days.
Senator Chamberlain presented a
communication from the secretary OF
war showing the number Of men at
fected by the bill. According to these
figures, 2,398,000 men between the
ages Of eighteen and twenty inclusive
and thirty-two and forty-five inclusive
would be subject to military service.
Of this number 6O1,OO0 would be men
between thirty-two and forty-five.
Chairman Dent of the house military
committee said he had no immediate
plans except to expedite it as much as
possible.
Its Principal Provisions.
The principal provisions OF the Dill
are as follows:
'The president may draft such per-
sons liable to military service in such
sequences of ages and at such time or
times as he may prescribe; citizen
or subject of country neutral IN the
present war who has declared his IN
tentiOn to become a citizen OF the Unit
ed States shall be relieved from liabll-
ity to military service upon his max
ing a declaration in accordance with
such regulations as the president may
prescribe, withdrawing his intention to
become a citizen of the United States,
and he shall forever be debarred from
becoming a citizen Of the United
States
The provision referring to persons
engaged in industry and agriculture
providing for their relief from mill
tary duty would be amended to read:
persons engaged in occupations or
employment found to be necessary to
the maintenance of the military eStaD-
iishment or the effective operation of
the military forces or the maintenance
of national interest during the emer-
gency."

Some Old Children's Books.

John Newbury set the fashion Of
publishing Juvenile story books about
1856, retaining Goldsmith and others to
write them, and in the list of such pub
lications it is somewhat startling to
come across atom Jones" and "JOseph
Andrews abridged for the amuse-
ment of youth" it is true, but not at
all in the direction one would expect,
says the Boston Globe. There was,
however, quite literally, powder in the
jam, even with Newbury's publications.
The worthy publisher was the proprie'
tor of the famous DIR. James Powder,
and contrived to introduce ingenious
references to this profitable sideline in
to his book Thus in "Goody-Two-

ably because "seized with fever in a

AN ALL-AMERIcAN CREW
Ship MonongaheIa, Formerly German,
Manned by Western Lads.

The manner in which the war has
marine is indicated by the case Of the
four-masted sailing ship Monongahela,
now on a seven months voyage out Of
San Francisco.
Two things stand out about this ship
that would not have been. possible be-
fore the United States took up arms
for democracy.
First, the ship is German vessel,
over which the American flag is flying,
as it flies over 85 others of former
German registry.
Second, the ship is manned by 100
per cent American crew.
This probably is the first all-Ameri-
can deep-water crew shipped for serv-
ice in the new merchant marine. To
make it the forerunner Of the Ameri-
can crews Of the near future is the
aim of the United States shipping
board recruiting service, which is de-
voting itself to procuring just such
crews, and is now training them at the
rate Of 5000 men month.
The Monongahela carries before the
mast SO young Americans and full
complement of American officers, head
ed by Capt. r. P. Rasmussen.
The Monongahela was formerly the
Dalbeck, under the German flag. She
sought safety when the war began by
laying up at Portland, Ore, and was
there taken over by the United States
on it's declaration Of war.
