CIVILIZED WARFARE.
Americans Credit Bolshevist With
Humane Treatment of Prisoners.

Recent developments in the Dvina
river sector, according to an Asso-
ciated Press dispatch from Archan-
gel indicate that Bolsheviki are try
ing to change the conduct of their
uncontrolled detachments who have
been accused of killing and maltreat-
ing prisoners. An American army
officer, after a long stay in the Tul-
gas region, declared today that the
campaign there is at the present time
"civilized warfare"
On a Bolshevik prisoner he said
was found a copy of an order dlrect-
ing that all prisoners should be treat
ed kindly, especially the wounded
as in many instances they were the
sources of valuable information.
In this sector where the patrols
frequently traverse the same paths
of the forest a hollow stump is the
battle zone postoffice for the ex-
change of information regarding
prisoners. Letters have been placed
there from some scouts taken by the
Bolsheviki saying that they were
we'll.
A former Bolshevik nurse who
elected to stay with the Americans
after valiantly carrying her wounded
lover, a Bolshevik officer, to a hospi-
tai on the upper Tulgas in the No.
vember II battle and who had pre-
viously prevented Bolshevik soldiers
from maltreating American and Brit
ish wounded, has written to the Boil
shevik authorities that, Bolshevik
prisoners held by the allies in Arch
angel are being we'll treated and well
fed.
The Archangel newspapers publish
many citations of decorations award
ed to the new Russian troops of the
provisional government for bravery
in action. The mobilization has been
a success beyond all expectations, &C
cording to the Russian staff, and
Russian troops are in the front lines
in nearly every sector fighting beside
the Americans, British and French.
The Woman's Patriotic Union or
ganized at Archangel is arranging to
send women workers to the front to
core for the Russian troops.

SOUTH INCREASES SAVINGS.
Greater Increase in Four Years Than
Thrifty New England.

The South has increased its per
CAPITA savings as per cent. in four
wears according to figures compiled
nv Milton w. Harrison of the savings
bank section of the Bankers Assocla-
tion. Mr.. Harrison has shown the
per capita savings in banks and trust
companies of the United States for
every State in the Union and for each
section. He shows also the amount
of war savings owned per capita by
each State.
One interesting fact revealed by
Mr.. Harrison's figures is that the
Southern States, which have often
been derided for the improvidence OF
their people have increased their saw
ings in four years more than four
times that of New York, New Jersey,
PENNSYLVANIA and Delaware and more
than twice as much as the New Eng
land States, which have by far the
largest percentage of savers to the
population. But the Southern States
are shown to own the smallest num-
ber of war saving stamps per capita
-ss14-while the Eastern States
own $3.50, the New England States
ss.34 and Western and Pacific States
over SO per capita.
A comparison of the per capita
savings for each section shows that
the Southern States are again at the
bottom of the list, with only s26.7S
as their per capita savings against
s2e5.e3 per capita for New England,
s174.14 for the Eastern States, 500
for the middle, s76.7S for the West
ern and S17o.05 for the Paclhc
States.

NAVY Has Three Hundred Destroyers.

With approximately 800 Destroy
ers to be in commission by the end
of the year, the navy department IS
working out plans for the peace-time
handling of this force. The first sug-
gestion made was to place 200 of the
ships in reserve, but it is now learn
ed that a movement is taking shape
toward keeping the entire force in
active commission, even if it would
be necessary to put large number
of older >battleships and cruisers in
reserve to obtain the necessary per-
sonnel.
Officers who favor keeping the de-
stroyers in full commission, believe
the training received aboard these
vessels by both officers and men
would be more valuable than the
same experience aboard the large
ships.
Those urging the reserve project,
it was indicated, believe conserva-
ton of personnel can be accomplish
ed in this way without laying up an
increased number of big ships. In
reserve a destroyer would carry
crew of about 40 men instead of 100,
and if 200 destroyers are laid up it
would release $4,000 men.
Against such action it is argued
the 40 per cent. crews are not suffl-
cient even to keep the reserve YES
sells in good shape, much less to give
them frequent try-outs in cruising.
If any element of the service is to be
reduced it is argued these new de-
stroyers which form virtually a new
arm of the fleet, due to their increas-
ing numbers and speed and the ex-
panding use for them being worked
out by naval strategists, should not
be the ones to suffer, but rather the
old cruisers and battleships. The lat
ter are now regarded as obsolete eX-
cept for very special services, such
as the convoy work.
A considerable number of these
older ships are now employed in
transporting returning American
troops. It is possible virtually all
of these will be put in reserve when
that work is finished.

The Kansas Wheat Crop.

Spring, says a Topeka, Kansas
dispatch, opens in Kansas with the
earth soaked and the l0,OO0,ooo
acres of wheat green. Never before
in the States history on March ~
has the soil been so saturated with
moisture. Difference between this
winter and last is striking. A year
ago there had been very little snow
and no rain to speak of and spring
came with the wheat fields dry. Snow
and rains have fallen necessarily all
this winter, and to cap it all the
State has just been deluged with a
rain that in more than half OF its
area averaged nearly five inches.
Growers and grain men say there
is ample moisture in the earth now
to make a bumper yield. Many
say the goal of 200,00O,000 bushels
set by the growers will be realized
and several elevator men who have
