woman. Why? He saw clearly the
Unreasonable gulf. He knew that in
these days men did not ia Ike their

ALL RUMANIA
 EATING. FLOUR
 FROM AMERICA

Belgrade, Serbia,-CBy mail)-"An Rumania is eating flour from Ameri- ca today. The people realize where the aid has come from and are ex- ceedingly grateful. Without Ameri- can help starvation certainly would have become very general" These are the words of Lieutenant Colonel H. Gideon Wells, American Red Cross Commissioner to Rumania, who recently arrived at Belgrade from Bucharest.
 Colonel Wells said the great bulk of the Rumanian food supply, including about twenty thousand tons of flour monthly, is furnished by the Ameri- can Food Administration. It Is sold in wholesale quantities to the gov ernmen' which attends to all details of transport and distribution. Flour trains run continually from the ports to the interior and have the right-of- way over all other transport The supply is being well-handled and there is no longer danger of starva- ton except in isolated areas, particu- 1arly in the Dobrudja region, where local transport is excessively diffi- cult.
 Supplementary to the Food Admin istration program the American Red Cross Commission to Rumania has all ready developed a nationwide food and clothing relief program which aims particularly at the relief of the

He had planned to lay efore them the British case and have it widely reported in America, where f. is insuficiently understood, MT. Bonar Law said.

 Each of these columns has pene- trated inland, along railroad. high road, river or forest trail, into the territory of the Bolsheviki and, on most of them, Tanks have been at the far-front, where the trouble is thickest.

|TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY.

The first national Thanksgiving Dav in the United States, in the year of the Declaration of .Independesce, was observed on May IT, 1776, 143 years ago tomorrow. and another was declared for December II of the same year. From TITS to 17S2, Thanksgiving was celebrated in April or May. In .17S9 President Washington appointed Thursday, No vember 26, a day for general thanks giving throughout the new nation. and the custom he thus established, !, making the day the last Thursday in November, has been generally ob- served by all succeeding presidents

before they really knew very much the powers-that-were who planned this expedition had a very poor opinion of the BoIshevikfs fighting qualities. When the original Arch angel expeditionary force which set sail from Murmansk, on Kola Bay, this corporars guard that was to suc- cessfully invade the largest country in the world consisted of 1, 400 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. Russians, Poles and a scattering representation of six other nationalities, eleven in all. It was all cluttered up with of ficers. There were two British gen. erals, colonels and lieutenant colonels galore, a horde of majors and great flocks of captains-the idea being that one would need plenty of of- ficers to direct the Russian forces which were eagerly awaiting to spring to arms. And the Russians 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 Kot- lass, on the Dvina. The Bolsheviki 1t seems. were expecting a much larger landing force, and they scur- ried very fast at first. In the past six months of hard fighting in the swamps and snow the entire North Russian expeditionary force hasn't gone much farther than this Iitie ex- petition of "Old Contemptibles' went in two weeks, and at times 1t has been a hard fight to hold what

 When the Bo1sheviki started re- treating, they expected to make a stand at Vologda. Instead, when they found the Allies were only handful, and inadequately equipped, they just turned around and fought us.
