 RUSS FR()HI'T'
 BY AN ALASKAN

SOROKA, Russian Poland, June 30 via London, July 28 Correspondence of Associated Press) Flushing for ward daily into territory of the Bol sheviki and often Hnder fire, .he American railway troops on the Murman front in two months trans formed 75 miles of dynamited and burned bridges and railway, wrecked and destroyed by retreating BOl5he- y.1i, into a workable railway which they manned, operated and main- tained.
 To these troops the British com mand gives much of the credit of the seyenty-fve miles advance toward PetrOzayodsk. In the contingent were 26 officers and 675 men, com prising the 167th and 168th com panies of railway troops as a special battalion under Major E. B. MacMore- land, Kansas City, and every kind of railrOader
 The Tanks worked so fast in fact that the Bolheviki, according to pris- oners taken, believed that they had miraculous machines for tracklaying and adjustable bridges which they dropped is as they went along. It oil hxr n- tain c. J. Jones, of Patterson, N. J., who in Alaskan and latin-American jobs was nicknamed "Hurry-up Jones'" The men worked seventeen hours daily with the enemy right ahead and the British artillery right behind awaiting construction. There were also battles and skirmishes in many small sidings where on several occasions the construction and also the trains crews were under fire.
 On May 19, while building bridge under shrapnel fire, the Tanks were surrounded by Bolheviki skipping through the woods and dynamiting the bridge three versts in the rear. On the way back to repair the bridge the Tanks were again attacked at close range but managed to escape.
 The shop detachment, under Cap tain c. E. McMillan, of South Amer ica and Panama, formerly from Oma- ha, had to tranform junk pile equip ment into workable rolling stock.
 Then the Tanks, under Captain IL. G. Odell, former assistant and super intendent at Santa Fe, built and op- erated an eight-mile street railway In Murman. Under Lieutenant Charles B. Futile, they operated and manned an armored train.
 Railway men who formerly drew high pay in Boston, Pittsburgh, or Indiana, shared in making these rall- way enterprises a Yankee success.

ON DEFEAT OF BILL
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Oct. 24.-Members Of the
Lloyd George cabinet are today con-
sidering the situation which has arisen
as a result of the adverse vote in the
House of Commons yesterday when
the governments amendment to the

to 113.
Because Of the fact there was only
about half of the members Of the
house in their seats when the vote
was taken, it is believed the govern
ment will not resign but it is possible
that Edward Short, Home secretary
who was in charge Of the alien bill
may quit office. Andrew Bonar Law,
government leader in the house, Sc
cured delay until Monday for his
colleagues by moving an adjournment
Immediately after the result of the
vote on the alien bill had been an

ton that any subsequent action by the
ministry would depend upon the
view Of the House Of Commons as a
whole may indicate an intention on
the part Of the government to ask for
vote of confidence at an early date. >"
