Marching Soldiers To
Be Used as Means of
Curing Shell Shock
fBy Associated Press1

NEW YORK, March 19.-The medi-
cal stats of the army hospitals here
will conduct a novel experiment in
psychotherapy on March %, when the
parade of the 9th division will be
held in Fifth avenue
Among the several thousand wound
ed and convalescent soldiers in the
hospitals are many suffering from
shell shock and nervous collapse. AS
the treatment is largely mental sua-
sion, the physicians in charge hope
that the sight of soldiers on the march
will have the desired psychological
effect and tend to bring back their
memories. Soldiers suffering from
shell shock and nervous breakdown
will be assigned seats in the grand
stand, with physicians and nurses in
attendance. Those whose condition is
more serious are to review the parade
from busses or invalid chairs.
The physicians are confident that
the result will prove largely beneficial.

Policy of United States Criti-
cized by Press Charge
Bolshevik Protection.
tBy Associated Press)

vLADIvOSTOK, March 1e.-Never
since the landing here of troops in
August has there been such wide
spread criticism of the United States
The newspapers are full of TRADES
and ingenious distortions of facts cal.
culated to sow discord among Ameri-
cans, Russians and Americas allies.
1t is an unquestioned fact that there
is a systematic campaign. Some news
papers Of Siberia, it appears. have
been subsidized and are distinctly
hostile to the United States.
The Russians, never over-confldent
regarding the intentions of the Ameri-
cans, have been ready listeners and
the legitimate Russian reprints and
editorializes on the fabrications that
have been put into circulation.
Beginning with the disappointment
Intervention, the sentiment developed
mistrust and an outspoken hostility,
in many quarters, to the Princes
Island proposal for conference of all
Russian factions with the allies justly
or otherwise, credited to President
Wilson.
Called Friends Of BoIshevIki.
Americans were instantly dubbed
was quickly utilized by an unfriendly
press and accepted in the political
circles of the Russians generally.
There is no effective means here Of
combating this propaganda and the re-
suit is that the United States has few
champions in any class or party.
Reassurances by Major General Will
liam S. Graves. the military command
er here, regarding Americas nom
partisanship were off set in the Rus
sian mind, which is little concerned
in the fine shades Of interference and
non-interference by definite charges of
-Bolshevism here and abroad, aris-
ing from the refusal of the Americans
to cooperate with it's military against
the alleged Bolsheviki in the Amur
district. The giving of asylum to the
Cossacks in revolt recently was con-
strued in similar way. This Incl
dent, however, was the only one of a
maligning character to draw fire. Col.
Henry D. Styer, who has been active
for the Americans in the Cossack
controversy, wrote to the newspapers
an explanation of the affair in which
he fully outlined the stand taken by
General Graves.
Other diatribes have been received
in silence and as a consequence the
loyal friends of the United States
among the Russians are wavering.
The silence and do-nothing policy Of
the Americans is plainly getting on
the nerves of the Russians. France
end England have few troops here
and these are not actively engaged,
but their commissioners are visiting
and counciling the 'Omsk government
with the result that they are being
credited with being the best friends
of Russia. The Japanese are regard
ed as having rendered positive SER
vice in military way. Only the
to whom the Russians LOOK
for help and sympathy, are considered
to have failed, not because of their
failure to send more troops, hope
which has long since been abandoned,
but for lack of moral and material
support such as other nations are
giving.
