Archangel Thursday, August 20. (By the Associated Press )-More en- tente allied troops are needed to aid in forming a screen behind which new Russia may be formed to join
 Russia's allies in the war on Germany, Nicholas vasilovich Tschaikovsky,
 President of the new sovereign gov ernment of the northern region of Rus. sia," told the Associated Press today. It was the first interview accorded l by the President to a representative of the foreign press and NJ. Tschaiko1 vsky frankly discussed the position, history and aims of the new govern ment.
 I've want to restore the eastern front against Germany, together with our allies," M. Tschaikovsky said. we | thought the only way to do so, in ad- dition to the agitation of our own peo- | pie, would be to have a firm military basis and screen to work behind and to protect us from immediate attacks by the Germans and the bolsheviki. We understood perfectly well un- der the circumstances and demoraliza- | ton that it would be impossible to re- l store our own army in a short space Of | time without having the nucleus of a disciplined force upon which we could | rely in case of necessity.
 'We, therefore, required screen in | the shape of at least some allied froces l We have some but we need to move quickly and, therefore, we certainly need immediately number of allied | troops"
 NJ Tschaikovsky explained that the government does not rely exclusively | on the troops of the allies. We have our own forces" hc said Tn the short ] space of a few days, with aid of l the allies, we recruited in Archangel alone over thousand men. What we want is allied assistance, and with that we are confident of success. We nat | urally expect American aid. We need | soldiers, food and agricultural ma chinery from America, and if the Jap | anese finally decide to come from the east they are welcome, 100. We
 should like Americans to come with | them.'

 ments opposing Germany and forming

MEYER DESCRIBES AMERICAN POSITION
 AS 10 LUS|TAN|A
German Tells of Attitude of the Average American, Which, He Says, Was
 Not Hostile

Amsterdam, August 31.--(By Associated Press )--Prof. Kuno Meyer, who was in America in May. 1915, when the Lusi- tania was sunk, describes in the pam German Taeglische Rundschau, of Ser lin. the attitude of America toward Ger many at the time the liner was destroyed There has been considerable discussion of the lawsuit arising out of the loss of the Lsuitania, which was decided in the United States recently.
 There was no special excitement or re- sentiment in America at the time of the sinking. except in the British press, Professor Meyer writes. "The man in the street was perfectly calm about it, and several congressman voiced the general feeling that passengers should not have gone after they had been warned
 The writer attempts to prove that the attitude of the average American was not hostile to Germany by saying: Not a hair of Germans head was hurt, not a Germans window was broken, nor was there any hostile demonstration even in Boston, New York or the other eastern cities
 Every American whether hostile, friendly or indifferent toward us, as- sumed as a matter of course that we would continue to sink munitions ships Professor Meyer continues "It was a different feeling than that which pre- vails today and that we lost the benefit of it through our own fault is a bitter thought"
