Gen. William V. Judson, formerly
head of the American military mis-
sion to Russia and recently recalled
by Washington, arrived here today on
a Norwegian steamer.
Gen. Judson, then lieutenant colo
mel, came into notice early in Deem
Der by sending to the chief of staff
of the Bolshevik government a note
saying the United States was not de-
sirous of interfering with Russian af-
airs and urging friendly relations be-
tween the two countries.
Later it was announced by Ambas-
sador Francis and by the state de-
partment in Washington that Colonel
Judson had acted without instruc-
tons. Soon after announcement of
his recall was made in Washington
together with his promotion to the
rank of brigadier general.

EISENMAN HAS
QUIT U. S JOB

Washington. Feb. -Correspon-
dence with the war department, dis
closed today by Senator Mcclellan of
Tennessee "a member OF the military
committee, shows that Charles D.
Eisenman of Cleveland, o., former
vice chairman of the supply commit
tee of the council Of National defense,
has given up his connection with the
government
Mr.. Eisenman was a storm center
in the senate military committees in
vestigation of the workings of the ad-
visory committee of the council of
national defense. The controversy
ranged around whether Mr.. Eisen-
mans committee actually had pro
vided the materials for uniforms for
the national army. He stoutly con-
tended that it had and if there was
any shortage it was due to other
causes.

LONDON PAPERS
DEPLORE LOSING
Cen. ROBERTSON

London, Feb. 1S.-The idea that
the public is attempting to dictate to
the government what their military
policy shall be or who shall be en-
ployed to carry it out is deprecated by
the Daily Chronicle in an editorial on
the situation brought about by the
announcement that Gen, Robertson
had been retired as chief of the i'm
perial staff.
1.-THE task is one for the responsible
ministers" it says, "and while it is
open to Parliament to change the min
isterns, no circumstances have been
disclosed in the present instance
which warrant such an upheaval."
The Times, remarking that the
Premier's recent speech in the House
of Commons failed to carry complete
conviction, says the result has been a
storm of exaggeration and political in
trigue over what seems to have been
a most natural and commensense ar
rangement. 1t declares a dull expla-
nation of events obviously is overdue
THE government seems to have
done its best to mishandle an over
whelming case" it adds. Whatever
may have been going on behind the
scenes, their alternate bursts of con-
fidence and reticence have given the
impression of sheer indecision. 1t is
almost as surprising as it is satisfac-
tory that the Allies military organi-
zation has emerged with it's princi-
pies unimpaired."

ct is impossible to exaggerate,"
says, "how much efficiency and sue

Robertson has been dismissed an
that those who dismissed him fin
