PUNISH THE HUNS.

T. AsTEN1NG responsibility for the the Kaiser
is the worst kind Of sophlstry, camoulage and
hypocrisy
The Kaiser could not have started the war without the
willing cooperation Of the German people.
He could not have financed the without the willing
help OF German lnancers.
He could not have committed dozen Of the atrocities,
however willing he might have been.
The crucinxon Of children the merciless slaughter OF
old men, the rayshng Of helpless women the driving Of
whole cities into slavery the demolition Of cahedras and
art treasuresa these were the of the German peo-
pie undertaken with unbounded JOY.
President Wilson's EFFORT to excuse the German people
from responsibility is not only dscredabe to himself
but is reflection upon the intelligence and the Of

Great crowds struggling to reach an objec- tive on the northern side of the Rue Neuve becoming noisy and unruly caused a call to be sent to the police station for the reserves. The objea- tive was an American shoe store which had just advertised for sale a carload of footwear at prices ranging from 50 to 60 francs. In the shopping district shoes were worth from 80 to 150 francs and here these crowds were battling for the privilege of purchas- ing shoes at the lower cost, equivalent to s10 or SIP a pair.

l0lST ENGINEERS
 IN RECORD STUNT
Yankee Division Boys Do Some
 Quick Building Abroad

Paris, May 23.-To have erected in oo hours building of 1000 square feet floor space, including a theater, soclaI rooms, two canteens, class rooms, kitchen, offices and five sleep Ing rooms, the whole being what in IS an achievement of which the 1O1st Engineers, of the 18th (Yankee) di- vision, American expeditionary force, may we'll be proud.
 The York Harbor Y. D." hut of the Yankee division, opened by the Young Mems Christian association at Le Mans, owes it's inception to Miss Grace Thompson, of New York who raised 8 fund for the purpose in York HarbOr, Maine. Owing to the early return of the 26th New England di- vision to the states, the original plan was modified to the extent of allow ing the New England boys to erect hut by their own labor.
 Time was pressing, but that was a detail which only put the eager ben eficiaries of the scheme on their mettle. Foundations had to be leveled, French municipal authorities had to be dealt with for the site and for the location of sewer, water and electrical connections; one car of material carrying the floor Jolsts went astray and other timbers had to be cut at a local mill. Notwithstanding all these difficulties, the hut, which is the largest one used by the A. E. F., was erected. New England stone fire place and latticed doorways all com pIete, in a space of time that made the good people of Le Mans rub their eyes in amazement.
 Suitably decorated for dedication ceremony, the big hut was turned over by the 26th division to the American Embarkation Center for use of the American army on it's way home.
 George W. Perkins of the National War Work Council made the formal presentation to the 26th, whose com manding officer, Major General Harry c. Hale, acknowledge it's acceptance on behalf of the division.
 After the war, the hut will be handed over to the people of the city of Le Mans, "as a token of cordial said Major-General Geo. w. Read who, in his capacity as com of the American Embarka- tion Center, committed the operation of the New England Home'' to the care of the Y. M. c. A.

before they really knew very much
 about it, the powers-that-wer who
 planned this expedition had very
 poor opinion of the Bolsheviki's fight
 ing qualities. When the original Archangel expeditionary force which set sail from Murmansk, on Kola bay, this corporals guard that was to suc-
 cessfully invade the largest country in the world, consisted of 1,40O men.
 Fifty American bluejaCkets from the U. S. S. Olympia who were among these Russian "Old Contemptibles"
 were the first to set their feet upon the dock at Archangel. When the Allies landed the Bolsheviki had gone.
 This original expedition of 1,400 in- cluded British sailors and marines, French soldiers and sailors, American sailors, Russians, Poles and scatter ing representation of six other na- tionalities, eleven in all. It was all cluttered up with officers. There were | two British generals, colonels and 1 lieutenant colonels galore, a horde of l! majors and great f1ocks of captains
New Britain herald., 1919-05-23

the idea being that one would need plenty of officers to direct the Russian forces which were eagerly awaiting to spring to arms. Most of these off, cers are quite busy at other jobs while they are still waiting for the Russians to spring. And the Rus sians do not seem at all eager to do so.
 This force split itself up into two or three columns that set out to take Vologda, on the railroad and Ketlass, on the DVina. The Bolsheviki, it seems, were expecting a much larger landing force, and they scurried very fast at first. In the past six months of hard fighting in the sWamps and snow the entire north Russian expe- ditionary force hasn't gone much far ther than this little expedition of "Old Contemptibles' went in two weeks, and at times it has been 8 hard fight to hold what the originals took in a walk away.
 When the Bolsheviki started re- treating, they expected to make a stand at VOlogda. Instead, when they
