MAY HAVE GONE TO
THE RUSSIAN FRONT


As some of the Canon City soldier
boys, who are known to have left
their encampments for overseas serv-
ice as much as month or six weeks
ago. and have not yet been heard
from by their relatives and friends.
the surmise is expressed in some
quarters that they may have been
sent to the Russian front instead of
to France. This theory has been
strengthened by the publication of a
letter in Colorado Springs a few days
ago from w. L. Gwillim dated at ylad-
ivostok, Siberia. Gwillim. who is a
private in an infantry regiment. was
sent to a western cantonment three
or four months ago for military in
strucfion. He states that other Col
orado men are with him in the same
command. but does not metnion the
division or the regiment with which
he is connected Probably. some OF
the Fremont county boys are in Rus
sia with him. The United States
government is sending troops to both
vladivostok and Archangei; the lat
ter on the Murmansk coast, some 500
or 600 miles northeast of Petrograd.

Rocky Mountain News.
This war has brought the Repub-

Mr.. Phipps is the antithesis of his
