WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN
NORTHERN RUSSIA. Oct. (Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press).-
Many Of the American soldiers form
ing contingent Of the Russo-Allied
forces received their baptism of fire
twenty-four hours after they had left
their train at this little village. Some
OF the boys were a little piqued when
they first learned they were going to
Russia instead Of France. but those
here soon learned they would get ac-
ton much quicker in Russia than if
they had waited for their training
period which precedes actual fighting
on the Western front.
One little command of Americans had
hardly walked into an outpost here,
relieving a squad of F'renchmen, when
the Bolsheviks gave them welcome
Of shrapnel.
Officers, both American and those OF
the British staff, are high in praise Of
the way these American lads are
standing up to the shrapnel and Boil
shevik machine guns.
