Radical Leaflets Believed to
Have Inspired Ameri-

Reassurances as to the safety of
American troops in Northern Russia
were given yesterday by Chief of staff
Peyton C. March.
Completion of a railroad through to
the most advanced outpost south of
Murmansk insures speedy rushing for
ward of reinforcement troops, guns,
ammunition and supplies, he said.
Gen. March made this declaration in
discussing the situation of American
units scattered in outlying regions in
Arctic Russia.
situation Unknown.
"Of course the situation of these
small detachments is not known even
to us here. They sometimes change
overnight. and it takes about a week
for things to get through. but now
that they have got the railroad
straight through to the front, the
questions Of supply and reinforcement
are all solved. There should be no
trouble about it now"
The last link in construction Of this
line of communication connecting the
advanced troops with their base was
the Onda bridge. which has just been
rebuilt and opened to traffic.
The astounding extent to which
Bolshevik propaganda has been dis.
seminated was revealed by Gen
March. The infantry company which
refused to go to the front recently put
questions to it's commanding officers
which were identical with those the
Bolsheviki, in their propaganda leaf

This company. Gen. March dis
closed. was Company I. of the 339th

men from Detroit. Mich.
Gen. March said that in all his
army experience he did not recall
another instance of Americans hesi-
tatinE to fight
They always said Lead me to it,
and went to it," Gen. March, a vet
eran of the Philippine campaign, de-
clared.
He read a report from Muir
mansk which said: 'It is worthy to
note that the questions that were
put to the officers by the men were
identical with those that the Boil

them to put to them"
