FEW IN NUMBER
 BUT LOTS OF PLUCK
Allied Force on Archangel Front Outnumbered From
 Two to Ten-tO-One.
RX Associated Pres,

Archangel, March 2S.-The Russo-al- lied force which has been conducting the campaign against the bolsheviki in this far northern region has been out numbered by the enemy everywhere from 2 to 10 to 1.
 What they lack in numbers, this force makes up in pluck. the pluck that makes them stick tight under attacks by superior forces, although they have not much interest in the Russian ques- tion and feel, candidly speaking, that the folks at home in Washington and London and Paris are making them suffer the penalty of their inability to make up their minds as to what should be done in Russia
 They grumble because they're here, and at the mistakes made by those at home and in Archangel, who sometimes don't exactly under stand the disposition of a homesick Yankee doughboy or Brit ish Tommie who is sitting in the snow in a frozen trench where heavy fur coast makes no more impression on mans heating apparatus than if it were a web of gossamer. But they go on fighting, just the same.
 With all their harships, these troops have confidence in their commander, Maj. Gen. Edmund Ironside a veteran of several British champaigns, and a six-footer physically who spends more time at the front than at headquarters in Archangel. They know the general is looking out for them but they don't feel the same way about the folks at home.
 To march for four or five days over snow trails, sleep on the cold, hard floors of peasant cottages at night in an atmosphere so thick that one could not even pour it, and then to fight all day in Is below zero temperature, has been more or less routine for the Yan- kees up here They have fought with signal bravery, when greatly outnum- bered, and when support, because of the weather conditions or the trails, failed to reach them. Nearly two score of Americans wear British or French ribbons for bravery in action against the bolsheviki, and more decorations are on the way.
 The Tanks have gone on. day by day, Rgrumbling but smiling about their hardships They're not extraordinarily fascinated by the Russian "barishnas," or young girls, and have Yankee con tempt for males who wear whiskers and kiss each other in the streets and speak a jawbreaking, foreign language. They want to go home IS soon as they can, and to them. it seems that all Uncle Sam has to do to get them home quickly is to send up a lot of regulars and marines and finsh the bolsheviki quickly
 The point of view of some of the American officers is illustrated by the remarks of one of them to the. Associa- ted Press correSpOndent.
 'H-l," he said, when he arrived here with other American reinforce ments last September there isn't any justice, no justice at all. We've been training at home at Camp Custer for months and months to fight the Ger mans. And then they send Is up here to Russia to guard stores, suppose. The holSheViki can't fight. any WAY for

The probability is that had she re-

the matter would have ended there, or

valuable lesson and learned that Mother

eventually Johnnie would have been a

for his mother would have been
greater.
The value Of consistency cannot be
