THE SITUATTON
At ARCHANCEL
Trouble Over obeying Orders Believed to
Have Started with One
Man.

Washington, April ll.--There were no
additional reports at the war department
early to-day on the situation at Arch
angel, where company of American
troops involved nearly two weeks ago in
threatened mutiny, refusing to obey
orders to entrain for the fighting lines
until appealed to by their regimental
commander. Absence of news since the
report made public last night after an
Associated Press dispatch from Arch
angel had described the incident, was re-
garded as favorable sign.
1t was assumed that the general mu-
tiny" which the members Of this one
company said would develop unless
prompt assurances came from Washing
ton that the American forces in northern
Russia were to be withdrawn, could not
have materialized without Colonel George
Il. Stewart, the American commander,
having found means to rush through a
report.
1t was noted in an official statement
given out last night by the war depart
ment that only one member of the com
pany continued to refuse to obey orders
after Colonel Stewart had taken personal
charge OF the situation. 1t appeared pos
sible to some officers here that the entire
situation had been created by this man.
A single agitator, it was said, can do
much to upset a command, and the fact
that Colonel Stewart was obliged to
agree TO release this man from confne-
ment before the company would obey
orders and board the train for the front
lines indicated that this soldier had OBJ
tanned grip in his comrades.
Additional reports that would disclose
the extent to which the unrest has
spread through the entire command were
awaited with considerable anxiety. Of
fieers recognized that the situation of
the American forces in northern Russia
was peculiarly unpleasant Weather
conditions are trying because of the ex-
treme cold; there il little Of the dash
about the work there that characterized
the war in France, and reports from
home tell of the return of the army to
civil life and of receptions, parades and
celebrations of victory. All these things
are likely, il is said, to make the troops
homesick and easy victims of bolsheyiki
arguments or similar agitation in their
own ranks.
The units at Archsngel are not sea-
soned regular soldiers. They are selec.
tive service men, but in the past they
have shown very high quality of NOR
ale, in facing the unpleasant task before
them 50 long without openly manifested
discomfort. Even now, officers argued,
the mutinous company probably would
show an immediate change of heart if a
general attack on the bolsheviki forces
which are harsssing the command was
undertaken.
No uneasiness is felt concerning the
American contingent in Siberia, which is
largely composed Of old-time regular
units from the Philippines. The percent
age of professional soldiers, it is thought,
is so high in Major General Graves COM
mand that it is highly improbable an
agitator could gain hearing among the
men.

STRESS LAID UPON
ROAD P4TROLLING
At Annual Meeting of Selectmen and
Road Builders at Montpelier To-day
State Commissioner Bates
the Speaker.

S. B. Bates. state highway commits
sioner, to-day held his annual road meet
ing in Montpelier for the seleetmen and
road builders in Washington and parts
of Orange, Caledonia, Lamoille and
Windsor counties Some over 100 at
tended the morning session of the meet
ing Mr.. Bates discussed many matters
in connection with the road work but
laid particular stress upon patroIling and
maintenance, explaining the new laws
relative TO this.
He spoke at some length upon the
work that the state win now do on the
unsolicited highways, which are known
as the back roads of the towns, explain
ing the appropriation which the legisla-
ture has made for that purpose and urg-
ing his listeners not to leave q piece of
work uneompleted but TO finish every
thing started and that if they cannot
complete it with the money they have
when they start the job, they had better
not 60 into the project. He said that
the towns want to take up matters with
the commissioner and that possibly some
plan can be worked out so that more
money would be available, but that CO.
operation would help each town mate
rally.
In discussing maintenance, he ex-
planned the patrol system as it will be
used this year, that under the new law
villages could be patrolled but that this
plan had not yet been worked out He
will not do anything at present with the
three years contract for patrols, as was
expected by the legislature, but may
take it up in the middle of the season.
He urged his audience that they are
not taking care of their bitches, which
is resulting in bad washouts, that q
man with a shovel should follow up
every road machine and complete the
work. Further, that the men should not
cut bushes and then leave them in the
bitches to be washed down and fill a
eulvert, resulting in badly washed road.
He explained that the state will expend
in oiling in towns not to exceed 5000.
That patrolman cannot take care of
FIVE miles of road and enjoy time on the
veranda of his home, that his mileage
will need his attention all of the time.
He cited a case where he went over a
road last summer and saw the patrol
man smoking at his home. He then took
him over his piece of road that would
require his attention for long time.
He cited several cases of similar nature.

workers in the iron smelling plants have

Bank clerks at Vienna are demanding
higher salaries. At one bank the salaries
paid before the war totalled II ,000,00
crowns, which amount was increased
during the war TO 25,006.000. II is now
faced with the demand for the payment
of 100000 more, which will make a
sum equal to the yearly dividends of the
