SWEDISH CONFERENCE
Evangelical Meeting of Kansas at Ran
dolph in May.

The Swedish Evangelical Mission
conference of Kansas will hold its an
nual meeting at Randolph, Kan, May
ell. The conference was to have
been held last fall, and three times
the date for it was set, but each time
the influenza ban prevented it from
being held.
The Randolph church, of which the
Rev. August Poison is pastor, is one of
the oldest Mission churches in Kansas,
and its central location in the state
will, Secretary Rev. A. Liljengren of
this city believes, make it a large gath
ering and inasmuch as many impor-
tant questions will come before the
annual meeting the interest for this
conference will be extensive.

form of enslavement of souls and all the
cash it can get besides. But when the
like a really defined conflict with the cap
italistic classes 1t will come as a program
of uncompromising Socialism without re-
gard as to whether you or l want 1t or
not.
1t is already too late to reform society
in America. 1t is no longer question

kind Of a revolution you will have.
Wilson Believes in Him.
So far as we uninspired Americans
are concerned, this leaves US about
where we were, but the fact remains
that as an official representative of
our officially deserted country, George
is about to speak for us with the
full authority of our president. of
himself and of whatever lady friend
he has been able to pick up in
Florence, since or before Carrie passed
away.
Why the president selected George
to represent himself and the United
States at the international conference
We can only guess. 1t can hardly
be supposed that Mr.. Wilson himself
is yet in full accord with his peculiar
economics and social theories, or that
he imagines the country is. The Sun
suggests but doubts that the appoint
ment is attributed to the president
abiding sense of gratefulness for per-
sonal favors rendered. and we are in
clined to concur in the hisgiving.
Like Hale and Creel.
The two previous biographers and
interpreters of Mr.. Wilson's mind were
William Bayard Hale and George

wards.

HARD ARCTIC TRIP
Additional British Troops Help
Allies in Russia.
Greatest Northern Journey
Since Great KlOndike Rush.

Archangel, Feb. 22.-An Arctic
journey of probably the greatest
magnitude since the famous KIondike
gold rush, has brought additional
British troops to the Archangel front
to reinforce the greatly outnumbered
troops fighting the Bolsheviki- Hun
dreds of sleighs, driving in single file
over frozen tundra and along roads
cut through pine forests. completed
the most difficult part of their 300
mile trip in IL days.
The trip was planned and directed
by members of Sir Ernest H. Shackle-
tons Antarctic expedition, including
Dr. Macklin, and was signal success.
Sir Ernest himself. although not par
ticipating in the journey to the front,
arrived at Archangel on an ice break
er with the first detachment of REIN
forcing troops.
The correspondent drove a days
Journey by SledeS from the American
field headquarters to meet the first
detachment. The captain OF -ii1;s adj
vance guard, who then had his men
comfortably billeted in a little village,
described the trip as, being quite
CHEEKY and cold" Most of the boys
saw the thermometer from 80 to AS
degrees below zero, but of the first
detachment of $50 men, only five or
six had been compelled to fall out for
rest at a hospital enroute.
Trained For the Trip.
Altho he had been trained for sew
eraI months to work in Arctic ATTITUDES
the captain of the leading detachment
belonged to a West Indian regiment.
The detachment started with several
reindeer drawing sledges, but these
Arctic beasts could not stand the long
snow journey and had to be shot,
while sturdy little shaggy horses
which long had been performing mar
wells of transport at the front stood the
journey splendidly. So did the rugged
peasant drivers, who, bundled in great
reindeer or bearskin parkass seemed
imperviOus to cold and considered the
long trip as a mere routine.
Light wind proof jackets and trou-
sers designed by those of long expert
ence in the Arctic are worn over the
soldiers uniform and under heavy
sheepskin coats. Fur caps covering
the head and face were worn while
moccasins and heavy socks inside OF
white Shackleton boots protected the
feet and windproof and cold-proof
gloves prevented hands from being
frozen. The soldiers diet was rich in
fats and proteins. reinforced with a
special Arctic ration which tasted like
thick palatable gravy and kept up
their strength.
There was one lieutenant of Nor
wegian birth who helped to outfit the
expedition who bathed naked in the
snow each day. He advised others to
follow his example but had no con-
Verts.
