DARING EXPLOITS IN RUSSIAN
 WATERS

ARCHANGEL, May 20.-It was largely due to the bluff of a young Russian naval officer in command oi one of the little allied steamers on the Dvina river that the original al lied expedition up that river from Arcnangel was not wiped out by the Bolsheviki in the early phases of he northern Russia campaign.
 The Dvina expedition, 133 strong went poking its way nonchalantly uT the broad river aboard two or three funny looking river steamers, on which field pieces and machine g.lns had been mounted. The Bolshevik had taken the best boats. Mississipp type of paddlcwneelers, with them 1T their flight.
 The famous 133 reached Beresnik nearly 200 miles south of Archange at the junction of the Vaga river with the Dvina, without firing a shot One night, all of sudden, three ol four Bolsheviki side-wheelers mount ing big guns, came around bend 1T the river and started trouble. WIer we fired our cannon they fell througf the thin decks into the staterooms O our steamers.
 A young Russian naval officer, II command of one of our little ships with his own gun out of action, stood pat with the useless muzzie turncC toward the biggest of the enemv'' ships. and barred the channel vail our other ships retreated.
 Then our river expedition got th' glad news that d British monitor sent all the way from the Belgian coast, was on the way to help them The monitor crawled along the sand bars and got to Beresniki The col onel in command of the river lam forces told me about it, few week later, when I went up to his secto of the front. It was something of tragedy this first episode of tn monitor, but the colonel couldn' help laughing about it.
 "Thc monitor steamed up, in colonel said, and it's captain wa rowed over to my headquarters ship The navy was on the job and SC naturally, all was over. He didn' want to stop a minute.
 Where he shouted, is the enen fleet, and which is the way to Ko lass?
 And then the monitor chugged of in the direction of the Bolshevih shin around the bend in the rivei Ii didn't find the enemy fleet, and certainly was long way from Rot lass. when Bo1sheviki land battery masked ill the woods on the rive bank, dropped a big shell into th monitor, putting it out O. commlssio' and sending it back to Bercsnlki-
 It was in this episode of the mon tor that a young British naval sur geon performed one of the feats O bravery and self-denial that are con tinually taking place in this wal With one eye shot out and w'tI blood nearly binding the other, i'm vounp surgeon calmly and success fully attended to the monitor wounded, until he fell exhausted.
 On the river our forces had reach cd Beresniki, on the railroad a littl command of French had battlcd t way nearly one hundred miles t Oboserskaya and, in the swamp tundra between the railroad and tn river another partyI including som of the American sailors, was lost the mud. when endorsements, in tn shape of three transports loaded w'tI American infantrymen and engineer steamed into Archangel harbor.

MO FLASH from the rusting guns
IN No rife lights the plain
No clotted crimson river runs
From Flanders to Lorraine:
The white year dawns above the hosts
Beyond the last red flare,
Save for ten million drifting ghosts,
Who neither know nor care.
How quiet now the lost trench seems,
How still across the fold.
Where lately through our broken dreams
The mighty thunder rolled;
Where through our restless, shaken sleep
We heard the big shells sing,
Or saw at dawn the long line leap
To take its final fling
Can it be that at last the rod
Has brought it's final lash?
Where no more out the bloody sod
a bayonet shall flash?
Or can some white dawn know at last
The final charge is through.
With flames of war forever past
Where life and love are due?
Can ii be down the world we may
Wake up at last to know
The soft. white dawn of some lost day
We dreamed OF long ago?
Where with the ghostly shadows blown :
Beyond the last grim fight,
Soft arms once more shall hold their own
Across the silent night?
Today 40 storming vanguard leaps
To leave It's share of slain:
At dawn no rolling thunder sweeps
From Flanders to Lorraine
The white year breaks against the sky
Beyond the last red flare,
Save where ten million ghosts drift by
Who neither know nor care.

THE READERS VIEWPOINT
Three Months Paw for Soldiers

10 the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger;
Sir.--In reference TO Senator Chamberlain
speech in the Senate yesterday, would sug-
gest that II the members OF Congress got
together and passed legislation authorizing
the War and Navy Departments to pay the
men released from service at least ninety
days. or three months pay, 1t would obviate
one of the difficulties he pointed out. IL
seems TO me that this is the least That the
Government ought to do for men VINO nave
been willing to give up their llVes IN 'ne
seryice If tho country and IL would certainly
give them a respite during which they could
re-egablsh themselves in employment after
being mustered out Of the service.

all the propagandists Of unrest have
managed to build UP spurious literature
of oppression.
There are evidences to indicate that
the old habits of mind have again
afflicted the Philadelphia police. 1t APP
pears that men who called themselves
Bolsheviki wanted to make public
speeches. They were not permitted. If
they had been allowed to go out on the
street corners and talk till they were
tired that would have been the end of it.
Some one with better idea of Ameri-
canism would inevitably have happened
along to give black eye to the red
orator for good luck or rout him with
ridicule.
But there seems to have been a de-
termined refusal to let our local Boil
sheviki talk. Any one with a knowledge
of the Bosheviki mind here or abroad
could have told the Mayor or Director
Wilson or Captain Mills that Bolshevik
who is not permitted to talk is violently
unhappy. And if he is really bad rad-
cal, with the strain of criminality pecu-
liar to his sort, he will manage to make
a noise in some other way.
Therein probably is an explanation Of
the bomb outrages in Philadelphia.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-01-01

Meanwhile the recent experiments in
radical liberalism in the United States
whether these experiments take the form
of criticism in the smart "intellectual"
journals of the various cults or in bomb
throwing-tend steadily to destroy such
sympathy as used to exist in rational
minds for the newer PHILOSOPHERS of
social administration.
1t will be fortunate for Russia if the
fanatics temporarily in the saddle do not
invite reaction that will leave the peo-
pie and their more sincere leaders help
less for a generation.
In America we have given the whole
world Of civilization high proof of great
and humane purposes. So there can be
in this country only the utmost contempt
and detostation for those who are too
perverted in mind and spirit to perceive
what we are trying to do.
Every flip soapboXer is, in the end, an
enemy Of the cause which he presumcs
to represent. Every petty crime done in
the name of liberalism is an obstacle to
the further progress of liberal ideas.
The country is in no mood to tolerate
unreason and errant madness under any
name. If the police can get hold of the
bomb makers public opinion demands
that they be treated in manner ade-
quate to stun all those who may have
similar alterations.
No bomb made by man, howcrer derH-
ishIy Ingenious, can shoke the toundo-
ttonS Of tac and order in this countrg.
