ALMOST A MUTINY
American Soldiers at ArChangel DO
Their Own Thinking
DEMAND AN IMMEDIATE WITHDRAWAL

Soldiers Say That the War for Which
They Were Drafted is Over, and
They Object to Being Used in Mat
ter That Has No Proper Status in
Their Estimation.
Archangel, Wednesday, April (By
The Associated Press.)-A company
of American troops recently showed
some hesitation in returning to the
fighting front south Of Archangel, de-
claring that the war with Germany
was over and that the United States
was not at war with the Bolsheviki
The rcgimental commander, in a
speech, said that they were fighting
a desperate defensive battle and ap-
pcaled to them to stick it out. The
company then left for the front.
The situation arose when the COM
pany named was ordered back to the
front after a rest period at Archangel.
The officers were informed that the
men did not want to go to the front
again. They asked to have their arsu-
ments answered.
The men contended that they were
draft men conscripted for the war with
Germany which was finished now that
America was not at war with the Boil
shevih, that the entire Bolshevik
question was the subject of much po-
litical debate and indecision In the
United States and that so far as they
were concerned they were unable TO
see why they should be fighting II
there was no war.
The regimenal commander said
that perhaps their own lives dependeo
on the fighting on this front and then
made his successful appeal relating to
the men traditions Of the American
army.

Drastic Measures Proposed

Prison terms for wholesalers and re-

HEAVY IMMIGRATION Believed TEMPORARY
BY OFFICIALS; next YEAR TO BE NORMAL

relatives of residents have about one
chance in 1000 Of immigrating at
present.
StoWaWays Increase.
This condition has resulted in an alb
normal number Of stowaways In ships
bound for New York. In one recent
week the unprecedented number of
fifty was caught and deported. Be-
sides slowing away the only other
method a lone foreigner, unrelated in
this country. can immigrate Is to ship
as q sailor on q vessel bound for New
York and desert when the vessel
makes port. It is in this way, Mr..
Siegel believes that Bolshevih and
other reds are now coming to this
country, If at all. The only redress for
the government In such q case IL to
fine the steamship company SO, but
some other steps that will tend to
stop the practice are contemplated by
the House immigration committee.
The activity of Ellis Island compar>
ed with idleness at other Atlantic
coast immigration stations is attribut.
ed to the fact that most Of he postwar
allocaions Of shipping were to this
port. II the local activity should con.
tinue contrary to expectations, It Is
believed that further deportations OF
anarchists will be from other ports
than New York. About $1,000 immi
grants came here in November and
the December figure was far In excess
of that, but this is believed to be due
to the desire Of many to spend Christ
mas or New Years in the United
States.
The physical facilities Of Ellis Is
land are considered adequate for any
immigration, even beyond the esti
mated 100000 for next year. In the
opinion Of Mr.. Siegel, the present
situation at the island Is due to the
fact that the Department of Labor
fruloughed IS employees a the island on
Nov. 1. retarding greatly the process
Of examining aliens.

High Price for Furs
Stimulates Trapping

The unusually high prices paid for
the pelts of fur bearing animals has
made life miserable this winter for the
few that remain in this section Of the
country. Muskrats and skunks are the
most numerous and the farmer boy
that kills one day earns tidy piece
of spending money.
Formerly the muskrat was not in
much demand, but so scarce has be-
come the supply Of fur. that their skins
are commanding better prices than
were paid for skunks ten years ago.
