Washington, Aug. S.-General
Peyton C. March. chief of staft. yes
terday declared the American mill
tary expedition to Russia would be
just as the President portrayed 1t in
his memorandum.
There will be no eastern front in
Russia" he added.
The regiments of regular troops
from the Philippines will form the
vanguard of the expedition General
March said. Later they will be re-
inforced by troops from the United
States The Philippine regiments
are not now of war strength. and
aggregate probably not more than
$500 men. General March's state
ment follows:
1.-The United States has organized
an expedition to Siberia. The officer
selected to command this expedition
is Major General William S. Graves
who is now in command of the
Eightieth division, Camp Fremont
Cal The nucleus of the American
force in Siberia will come from the
| Philippines and will consist of the
lIllTly -ScNSulH anu 1IllTly-IlTSI TeSl-
ments of regular infantry. That force
will be supplemented by other troops
sent from the United States. The
purpose of organization of the expe.
dition has been announced by the
President through the state depart.
ment, and I need not refer to thai
further. The force is relatively

Colonels Stier and Taggart will be
in command of the two regiments
| the general said. He also said he
would announce the arrival of Gen.
eral Graves in Vladivostok as soor
as he reaches there.
General March was unable to con.
firm the report that American troops
had been landed at Kandalaska.
''Kandalaska is south of Kola, or
the Murman railroad, where il
touches the Kandalak gulf on the
White sea-" he said, land the only
dispatch 1 have seen does not say
that American troops were there
but that American trops had landed
at Archangel. 1 have seen no dis
patches anywhere that American
troops are at Kandalaska, and, SC
far as l know, they are not there. -

Letters From the Front
Waiting For aaCommssion; On the Firing Line: Just
Before the Big Drive

Some Interesting letters from Har-
risburg boys at the front in France
and elsewhere have been received
by their friends this week. One of
these boys who has been attending
with one or two other Harr1sburgers
an artillery school in France, writes
Interestingly of the hopeful attitude
of the young candidate while wait
ing for a commission after the pre-
scribed course of instruction. Hear
him:
Another Sunday and I'm still
loafing about here, waiting for some
kindly person to come along, pin a
gold bar on my shoulder and say:
ON your way, young man; you are
now one of the Army's greatest
drawbacks. second lieutenant.
whereupon I should blossom forth in
fine raiment and a Sam Brown belt,
and HE me forth to do battle"
at Last
"At last I've arrived 1 was COM
missioned Monday afternoon and at
the same time given my travel or
dcrs to report here Well, you can
just about imagine what an excited
gang We were that evening. We took
the oath in the afternoon at 8 o'clock
so that all of US stood retreat that
evening all dressed up in our new
clothes And YOU ought to have
seen the display! Solomon himself
was a poor piker, so far as glorious
raiment was concerned, Monday
night about half the fellows left fol
all parts of the globe and Tuesday
noon the rest of us followed suit
The next morning wednesday,
we came up here and 1 discovered to
my great joy that ! was assigned
to a battery in the 18th, command
ed by Captain Harris, whose brother
Johnny was 1915 at New Haven and
one of the lieutenants was Allen
Douglass in my class at college.
Torture
This morning 1 had to give them
drill all morning, one hour in gas
masks, which was torture. We have
to wear them an hour each day, nc

full. I'm wishing l could be up with
them"
IF only more men-many more
would realize that they are needed
and needed at once how much bet
ter il would be, for I firmly believe
that the manpower of the United
States is going to be the deciding
factor 1t must be-and they're
waiting for US now. If they would
only stop hasgling over petty poll
tics for awhile and get in some real
work. Well far be it from me TO
criticise our government, for they've
done wonderfully well, 1 suppose,
but there are so many things, too,
that they seem to have fallen down
on-airplanes. for example. We
don't know what to think when we

Not many. If any, nationalities were

the clerk has one shot at him that
