can army traffic has Torn them ~. Mr..
Baker also denied the truth Of rumors Of
drunkenness and lawlessness of American
troops in Siberia tIe said: General
Graves SAYS in recent correspondence that
there arc all kinds Of stories afloat
through: Siberia about American soldiers.
Just as there are gossipy stories about
men everywhere. but that the stories OF
drunkenness and lawlcssness on the part

foundation. General Graves report was

Bohemia evidently means to keep as
many as possible of her people al home,

And marvel how we stabbed and killed,
And name us savage. brave, austere-
And none shall think how very young we
were.
Archibald Macleish. in The Lyric.
