In speaking of the morale of the different armies he said that the British and French were of course so hardened to the war that they held on with dogged determine ton to win and a deep belief in their ultimate victory, but that the Yankee boys went into the fight so full of pep and came out of the trenches only to be anxious to be back at it again i Describing the first night near the ] 1 was located and that their danger was chiefly from big shells and gas shell attacks On this night they had agreed on three pistol shots to be the alarm ! for a gas attack, shortly after they | had made up their minds it was to be a quiet night The alarm was given and everybody put on their gas masks 1 only to find it was a false alarm. l That night there were no less than | five alarms At daybreak, however, they set out to find out the reason for 1 all these alarms and a short search

ALLIED SUPPORT
 FOR RUSSIA

Vladtvostok, Dec. 30-( Correspond ence of the Associated Press)-Gen- eral Bolderen, member of the erst- while Ufa directorate which was abolished by the Omsk cabinet at the time Admiral Kolchak's elevation to the supreme rulership, favors moral and material support from Allies to Russia, instead of military aid, on the ground that people or faction of a population which is overcome by mil itary force is inevitably a soure of fu- ture trouble. He says the Bolsheyi- Xii must be suppressed, but by Rus sians rather than by foreigners, and by moral suasion and a campaign of education rather than by force of arms
 General Boldereff would like the Allies to hold the BolsheViki at bay until a Russian army can be formed which will be able to cope with them. What Russia Requires now" he said, lis only that the Allies give sufficient military aid. backed by moral and material aid, to enable the saner ele- ments in the population to mustar their forces and the control of af- fairs"
 General Boldereff declines to have anything to do with the government as at present constituted in spite of urgent invitations to align himself with the new order of affairs. The coup d'etat which elevated Ad- miral Kolchak to virtual dictator 1 ship of the Onnsk government, in his 1 opinion was an unfortunate develop ment which might have been avoided l had each element in the Omsk coali- 1 ton been willing to make concessions. TAe Ufa government was handicapped | by lack of funds and the only way to make their influence felt appeared to be by joining forces with the Omsk government and striving for a plan upon which they could cooperate. 1 There was lack of confidence from l the start and Chernov, former Min ister of Agriculture in the Kerensky cabinet, who, was attached to the
 coalition government in a minor ca pacity, precipitated the coup by
 charging the Right element with bad faith and calling upon the Social Revolutionists to rise.
 i General Boldereff was at the front
 when other members of the director ate were arrested. He was Invited to associate himself with the Kolchak forces but declined.
