Story of How Doughboys First Greeted Propaganda With Ridicule to Moment When HOmesicknessMade
 Them More Receptive
By Associated Press

New York, April 12.-Arch- angel advices received today disclose how the Russian bol- sheviki spread their propa- ganda among the American troops fighting under the Northern Lights. The Asso- ciated Press has had a core spondent with the allied forces in northern Russia throughout the entire campaign.
 His dispatches by cable and mail have given the only detailed account of the activities of the American forces; in fact, he has reported exclusively every skirm- ish between the allies and the bolshe- wiki army He also told exclusively the story of the recent refusal of one Ameri- line trenches, later confirmed by General March, chief of staff.
 mail letter received today is par ticularly timely since 1t throws clear
 light on the bolsheviki methods which General March discussed in Washington today in his weekly conference with newspaper men. The letter. which tells of the bolshevik propaganda from the first efforts when overtures from the enemy were received with ridicule' down to the
 moment when homesickness made some of the doughboys more receptive to the irsidious oratory and literature. is as

WORLDS BEST PRoPAGANDIsTs

Archangel February 12.-(Correspond- Sence of the Associated Press. )-That the bolshevki are the worlds best propa- gandists was demonstrated during the .ong, cold nights that occur in this re- zion.
 Down on the line of the highway to Petrograd. along which are the graves
 of the Americans who have fallen, and where the Yankees had been fighting for months around a little five house village called Kadish, the bolshevik orators showed how expert they were in spread ing their views Generally they talked in
 Russian, their speeches being translated
 by interpreters in the American ranks Occa asionally they sent to Petrograd ana got some ex-American immigrant to give
 a lecture in English on the reasons for bolsheyism to a more or less interested
 audience of doughboys on the other side of No Mans Land. For a long time, when our lines on the Kadish sector were separated from the bolsheviki only by 75-yard wide stream over which there was wooden bridge which neither side wished to de- stroy, both figuring on using 1t some day, almost nightly there occurred strange entertainment Sometimes it was only monologue, in which bolshevik orator on one side of the stream would | loudly harange the Americans. Some | times it was a sort of a duet, in. which 1 the American would reply with can | that stun," whats eating your" and other similar American expressions. Once, when the bolsheviki were feeling particularly lively, they gave propa- ganda vaudeville show following tneir l English speaking orators plea to come l over and join them with an accordion
 solo. the tune of which was Yankee Doodle"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-04-13
OFFICERS TALKED

There were formal state occasions when a bolshevik officer would cry out from the dark that he wanted to talk to an American officer. A lieutenant or a captain would go down to the middle of the bridge to meet him. The American officer would take his interpreter with him, and the three would stand out in the cold, arguing. These conferences usually began with mutual inquiries about the state of health of prisoners held by the respective forces and ended with the bolshevik officers kindly re- questing that an armload of bolsheyik printed propaganda matter be handed to the American troops. Perhaps this was against all rules of warfare, but the officers, generally speaking. could see no objection to it, as they were much in need of paper and the propa- ganda helped keep the troops happy. The Tanks would laugh all night at it and then go out and fight in better humor l the next day.
 | It was on this same sector that the boi- sheviki, thinking 1t might stir up discon- tent among the Americans if they knew | that the war in France was ended, de- cided to advertise the fact. This the boi- sheviki did in the night, hanging large
 red banners printed in English, to trees. | These banners blazoned forth in great ! white letters on their red background ! that 'the workingmen of France ana England and Germany had made peace and urged the Americans to come and do I likewise.
 In the printed propaganda. most or which, by the way, either bears the sig nature of an English journalist who has joined the bolshevik administration in Moscow or shows the handiwork of some Russian journalist, who once worked in New York, great stress is put upon the claim that the bolsheviki are working men, fighting against the capitalists of 1 the world, and inviting the Americans to come and join the happy proletariat. WHY ARE WE HERE?" | The Americans, so they themselves de clare, have not yet figured out for them selves why they are up here after the | war with Germany is finished. but they also say they took no stock in the ''down- trodden worokingmen stuff of the bol l sheviki.
 ..Workingmen!' one of the Tanks re- | marked disdainfully. They never die work; they're lot of long-haired never works
