ADVANCED ALLIES
BACK IN ARCHANGEL
Gen. March Reports, How
ever, Subsequent Attacks
Are RepuIsed.

Retirement Of the allied forces hold
ing advanced positions in the Archan-
geF sector before attacks by superior
forces Of bolshevists is reported in an
official dispatch dated January %, the
substance of which was made public
today by Gen. March.
The points attacked by the enemy
lay generally about 100 miles from Arch
angel. Gen. March said the interallied
commander there had adequate troops
to reinforce the advanced elements and
to handle the situation.
American Losses.
The message reported the American
losses in one of the sections at Ust
Pedenga as ten enlisted men killed, sew
enteen wounded and eleven missing. A
later dispatch said subsequent attacks
were repulsed when delivered on the
positions taken up by the American
forces.
An interallied force engaged at
shenkursk consisted of a British de-
tachment. two companies of Ameri-
cans and two companies of Russians.
These were attacked on three sides
and compelled to evacuate their DO
sitions, as were also the allied pa
trolls holding Ust Pedenga. The
American troops falling back took a
position midway between this point
and Shenkursk. In one of the at

In one ward where thirty-six men
are accommodated. few are able to use
the shower. Thirty, at least, it was
declared by a number of the patients,
must use the bathtub to wash their
authorities at the hospital say they
are powerless to remedy this situa-
tion.
Statement by an Officer.
The regulations. one of the officers
said, do not provide for the 1aunder-
ing by the government, or at govern
ment cost, of the clothes of the men
who are able to attend to their own
laundry. If the men find the work
irksome all they need to do is to have
their clothes sent to a city laundry
and pay for the work in the regular
way at the regular prices. Neither
the quartermaster nor the adjutant
has power to change a military regu-
lation. The machine must operate In
the usual way. Sentiment does not
govern military organization ne
said.
AS many of the men have not been
paid for several months and are with
out funds, the question of their pay
ing to have their laundry done Is
eliminated.
AS a one-armed man yesterday was
washing his shirt in the bathtub he
remarked to q reporter. he was sure
that this great, rich country. for the
safety of which he had in common
with scores of thousands of others,
given his blood, did not desire that
the crippled soldiers should do their
own washing. A group of six or seven
men, all leaning on crutches, each
shorn of q leg, awaited their turn at

and in other parts of France" Then
he opened his upper shirt and pointing
to the garment beneath, said:
"I have worn this underwear three
weeks. L hate like fury to wash it in
the bathtub. We could send it down
town and have 1t done at the ordinary
rate of expense. But men on thirty dol
lars a month, who have suffered as we

ought at least do our washing for us.

ceived any pay for seven Of eight

trying to borrow dime from their
more financially fortunate "bunkies,'
to pay car fare down town and back.
AT the adjutant's Office it was said
that many of the boys had failed to
make application in proper form for
their pay and that the fault in many
cases lay with them and not with the
military authorities.
Hospital in New York, we had none of
this trouble about laundry" said a
bright, cheerful lad from a southern
state. 1--WE just turned our clothing
over to the orderly. 1t was sent down
one day soiled and the next day re-
turned clean"
An officer of the medical department
said it was true that the laundry of
the boys was done for them and with
out expense to them at Greenhut Hos
pital, but it was paid from a fund
|, raised by popular subscription. He
suggested that the people of Washing
ton take the same course.
Regarded as "Unfortunate."
But it is unfortunate in a country
as ich as ours, where all citizens ap-
pear to want to give the wounded boys
all the comforts needed. that the gov
ernment does not provide for their
laundry" said the medical officer. ut
seems to me to be so mean and paltry.
But here you are again up against
military regulation, which has no
heart and knows no sentiment.
The authorities at this hospital are
They are subject to military law. The
quartermaster cannot give the boys
anything that military law doesn't
authorize him to give them. They
are the victims Of cold, relentless
system that will not change its course
except at the direction of higher au-
thority."
One of the men was asked what
kind Of food was served them. "Oh.
the regulation ration" he replied.
ter chuck than they give the un-
wounded men. But we are not asking
for it. We don't want to be coddled.
We gave our legs or arms for, the ma
ton and would have been willing to
give our lives: but say. don't you
think they ought to at least give us a
laundry to wash our duds in?"
Sleeping Quarters Kept cleaY.
The sleeping quarters are kept
scrupulously clean. No complaint
was made by any Of the men regard
ing the treatment accorded them by
their superior officers. They said
they were subject to military disci-
pline, which makes no provision for
tender feelings, but they did not com
plain Of this. 1t was Inevitable and
they submitted with the grace of SOL
diers.
No delicacies are allowed the
wounded men after convalescence. If
they want pie they must buy it at the
canteen. and il they want ice cream
they can get it in the same way.
IF they would give us our back pay
We could get these goodies" a man
who had lost his leg in the Argonne
forest said.

Number Exceeded Only by
French When Armistice
Was Signed.

On the day that the armistice was
signed the American Army on the
western front was second in strength
only to that of France itself. Figures
made public today by Gen. March
showed that on November IL the
United States was represented on the

guese attached to the British army
totaled 1.71s,000. while the Belgian
and Italian forces on the western
front aggregated about 100000.

necessary medical and supply organi-
cations.

Gen. March said today that men dis
charged from the Army will be per-
mitted to retain the divisional insignia
which they wore while in service. A
recent order of the department pre-
scribed that the wearing of these in
sigma would be permitted up to the
date of discharge. So far as the men
remaining in the Regular Army are
| concerned. the regulations concerning
uniform will be maintained, and they
do not permit soldiers to wear insignia
of the divisions with which they for
merly served.
