Reasons for Intervention.
In response to strong protests in the
press against the secrecy maintained
concerning military operations in Rus

explain and justify the continuance Of
these operations, Viscount Miner, the
secretary of war, has issued a state
ment to the effect that the allies have
an obligation Of honor to protect the
Russians and others who have aided
them against the bOlsheviki. For the
allies to scramble out of Russia now
would threaten to involve the whole
country in barbarism, the war secre-

President Wilson and the United
States was cheered. When M. Richie
pin referred to Marshal Joffre as the
victor of the Marne the marshal arose
and said:

All eyes turned to a blind French
soldier who was standing at salute in
the front row of the balcony. The SOL
dier stood at rigid attention while loud
cheers, led by President and Mrs. Will
son, resounded through the hall.
AS the audience filed out an old
man was heard reciting to himself in
trembling voice:
"Any unit which can advance no
more must at all costs hold the con-
quered ground or be killed on the spot
rather than retreat"
THE words were an extract from
Marshal Joffre's order of the day at
the start of the battle of the Marne,
which opened the doors of the French
academy for him.
