Later, in November. a company
was sent to Pinega. With about
500 Russian ,partisans they adj
vanced about 80 versts southeast to
karpagora, but were forced to re-
treat later to Pelegora, just a short
way from Pinega.
Thus six fronts were established,
forming a semi-circle around Arch
angel, with circumference of about
500 miles and radius of from $50
to 400 miles. The country between
these fronts was all forest and
swamp, and was protected only by
isolated posts wherever a trail cut
through the woods. Some of these
posts were located 80 miles in the
deep woods.
Locate these fronts on your map,
as | shall refer to them later as
follows: Omega. Railroad, Kadish.
Vaga, Dvina, Pinega.
Besides the Americans on these
fronts there were Russians French,
Polish, British and Canadian troops
in small numbers The total
troops on all fronts in Russia at
this time did not exceed 5000, with
possibly 1000 more at the bases
and on the service of supply. In
October 1000 British reinforce
ments arrived, coming some 400
miles \across country from Muir

ally the Russians-"the ignorant
Russians"-didn't warm up to the
British or the allies as they were
supposed to do. The British were
running the show" as the saying
goes, and as the Americans were
directly under the British COM
mand, naturally the Russians also
mistrusted the Americans. And SO
the Russians didn't spring to arms
no. they simply didn't spring to
arms.
With these explanations you will
realize that if the bolsheviki wee

and do it quickly-and that's about

strangling- their country, and who,
it was stated, were being urged on
by Germans and by German propa-
ganda. Such evidently had been the
report OF these first comers to the
supreme allied command in France.
But the Russians did not flock to
arms. No, there was not the
slightest scramble noticeable.
The English had sent up prob
ably 500 officers and as many nom
CONS to organize this vast Russian
army that was supposed to spring
to arms at the sight of the allies
and didn't spring. The feelers of the
pulse of Russia had just made an
other wild guess.
The truth is that the average Rus
sian was pretty we'll "fed up" on
fighting. He'd been throug III the
war on the eastern front and cou-
pie of revolutions thrown in, and he
couldn't see where he had benefited
materially, and he wasn't exactly
what you could call enthusiastic.
This new-found freedom. with its
utter chaos, was something he
couldn't Just understand. 1t was too
different from what he'd been used
to. What he wanted was enough
grub to live on and no work to do.
Wasn't that the bolshevik promise?
Then again. the Russian had a mis-
giving as to just why the allies were
in Russia. He had been sold out so
many times in the last couple of
years that he wasn't quite sure just
who he could trust, and was reluc-
tant to take chances.
Rumors were rampant that the
allies were in Russia to get a slice
of it; to enforce payment of loans
made by the allies to the old i'm
peria1 government. In fact, some
British officers openly remarked
about the wealth of the country
and its ability to recompense them
in amounts far in excess of Russia's
obligation. The allies had stated
that they did not intend to bother
the government in any way: that
they were there only to assist it and
not to meddle in local affairs. The
words were barely spoken when
they proceeded to establish martial

ing the first couple Of weeks in Sep
tember.
In England al American rifles
and automatic weapons and grenade
equipment was taken away from the
American troops, ans they were
armed solely with the Russian rifle,
made by an American firm. and
which, the boys said, would shoot
around a corner" These rifles were
tar inferior to the American or Eng
lish Enfields and the men had little
confidence in them. They jammed
and broke and were inaccurate.
There was not much boasting about
such American-made equipment,
and no doubt the word "profiteer"
floated across the minds of the u.s.
ers more than once during the try
ing months that followed When
we arrived in Russia this rifle was
all we had 10 fight with, while the
I enemy was equipped with all the
weapons a modern army usually has.
With this equipment, and weakened
by the influenza epidemic, the
American troops were sent out to
fight-not with months training,
or a weeks rest, or even a DAYS
respite, but loaded directly from
the boats onto boxcars and targes
and shipped to the fronts. And
many of those boys had been
drafted the middle of June. 1918,
and had spent one month OF their
short army careers on the high
seas!
Men Start Fighting.
My battalion, the Third. was the
first to debark. We we're loaded on

that were waiting on the dock,
bumped along all night, and at dawn
the next morning we took over the
railroad front from the French. who
had just captured and were occupy
ing Obozerskaya. My company
pushed ahead and established a
front line about six versts Ga verst
is about two thirds >of miIe) south
of Obozerskaya. Three days later.
we had our first fight with the
Bolos.
Another company of the battal-
ion, in the meantime, had been sent
to the left flank to rescue Colonel
Hazelton and a party of about 800
English, Scots. Russians and Amer
ican sailors, who had been reported
as having been surrounded and cut |
off. About 10 miles from Obozers-
kaya they came upon Hazelton's
empty wagon train, saw much evil
dence of recent battle. but found
no one. Hazelton's party had been
surrounded, but under cover of
darkness and with the aid CT Rus
sian guides, had slipped through
the enemy lines into the woods, and,
after hiking for three days by com
pass, finally reached our lines.
This company continued to tile left
some 80 miles, joined up with a
platoon of Scots and few French
machine gunners and established
what later became known as the
"kadish" front.
The first battalion was dispatched
down the Dvina and Vaga rivers,

legions of Russia in the Manchurian
lakes region in the early days OF
the war. Except along the streams,
the country was very sparsely popu-
lated. Here and there one finds a
small clearing, inha bited by a few
wood cutters or trappers, or a few
peasants. 1t is indeed forest
primeval, with untapped treasures
beyond the dreams Of man.
Revolt Prevented.
Immediately after the bolsheviki
departed from Archangel, a provin-
clal government was esta blished,
which was practically the same as
had existed under the Kerensky re-
gime. A few days after the Amer
leans arrived this provincial gov
ernment was kidnapped by a Rus
sian colonel named Chaplain. bodily
taken aboard a boat, and shipped
out into the White sea. This coup
d'etat was really engineered by the
British, who were finding some
trouble in getting the government
to do Just what they wished them
to do, and they desired to estab-
lish one more to their own liking.
In the meantime the street car can
ployes went 'on a strike in protest,
and the British Immediately ordered
the American engineers to work
running the street cars to break the
strike. AT this un-American act, our
amba ssador, David R. Francis, edit
or of The St. Louis. Republic, pro-
tested in words both forceful and
full of meaning and "toot sweet"
forced Chaplain to return the gov
ernment and the strikers went back
to work. Thus the first revolution
was nipped in the bud before it
really got good start. Other at
tempts were made to overthrow the
government, but met with no better
success.
There seemed to be an impress
sion among those who had been in
Russia the longest, that the mere
sight of the allies, with their pres
ence and food. would cause the Rus
siaps to wildly scramble over one
another in magnificent rush to
arms against the mob that was

Der afternoon we passed French

SO at least there was feeling that
we we're among friends. These
ships, together with Others, carry
ing battalion of Royal Scots and
a battalion of French and a few
American sailors, had arrived about
month before. On their coming
the bolsheviki fled from the city,
after first looting it; taking with
them practically everything of value
that they were able to carry off. All
4, of the military stores that were sup
posed to be there, and which we
were to guard, were gone. There
was nothing left. The whole city
had the appearance of having been
gone through thoroughly by a large
gang of professional burglars. All
boats, railroad rolling stock, ammu-
milton, guns, food, supplies, hard
ware, etc, which could possibly be
dragged away, had vanished. All
that was left was the weather beaten
hulk of devastated city.
Allies Pursue Bolos.
The Scots and French, assisted by
about 90 United States sailors from
the United States ship Olympia,
! which was then at Murmansk, lost
no time in pursuing the fleeing boil
sheviki. At that time the bolsheviki
were very poorly organized, and,
though the allies succeeded in push
ing them back about 100 miles, it
was not without some severe losses.
So when we arrived in Archange1 it
might be said that there were two
fronts, one on the Dvina river and
the other on the Archangel-Vologda
railroad; both very thinly held by a
handful of troops who had been
fighting for a month without relief,
who were worn out, tired, and with
out power to continue further or to
hold on without reinforcements.
Arehangel is the greatest lumber
port in the world. In peace times it
boasted from $4,000 to $4,000 inhab-
itants. When we arrived it was
flooded with some $4,000 refugees,
who had already tired of bolshevik
tyranny or had been driven from
their homes by that lawless band.
Business had practically ceased. A
few shops were open, but offered
scarcely anything for sale. There
was no food except fish or fish prod
ucts. Ten pounds of sugar or
sack of -four would buy silver fox
fur worth $500 in the United States.
But the question was where to get
the sugar or -four.
Money Has No Value.
The people were virtually starving
living mostly on fish, black straw
bread and tea. There was no coin
money. Paper money of the wall |
paper variety and multitudinous |
makes, from old Nicholi prints and |
kerensky issues to the provincial |
greenback of Archangel, was plenti-
full, but it would buy nothing, as
there was nothing to buy. A rouble
was worth about 10 cents. There
was no work of any kind going on,
and all the people had to do was to
walk the streets and figure out some
way to start or to stop revolution.
The country surrounding Arch
angel is one vast expanse of forest
and swamp-and swamp of the va I
riety that sucked up those lost !

ployers will find the solution of
their labor problems when there is
created in industry "a constitutional
form of government similar to what
we have in the political world" de-
clared DIR. Felix Frankfurter. chair
man of the War Policies Board of the
Department of Labor. in an address
here last night at the annual BAN
quet of the National Association of
Clothiers.
Strikes are the pitting of force
against force. as the war we have
just engaged in was the pitting of
force against force. Strikes are 4
loss in morale, the breaking down
of moral fiber. What we need is u
constitutional form of government
within industry similar 10 what we
have in the political world.
In strikes the nominal fight is on
hours and wages, but the real issue is
the welfare of the laboring man.
Abraham Lincoln said, speaking on
slavery, No set of men is wise
enough to determine the destiny of
another set of men, This Is ap-
plicable TO employers dealing with
employees and to employees dealing
with employers.
We understand Justice as our
sharing in the determining Of decis-
sions. Labor Will never under
stand what decisions may be right
and wise until they have a RESPONSE

The labor question must be dealt
with on national basis, and it re-
quires the finest kind of statesman

RUSSIAN PROBLEM

PARIS, January %. Whatever
hopes or enthusiasm may be derived
hereafter from the plan of the league
of nations. it becomes obvious daily
that the first practical test as to
whether the big powers can make any
league effective is their solution of
the Russian situation. The problem
is made acute by the fact that there
are many factions inside Russia
clamoring for representation at the
peace conference, and also the cir
cumstances resulting from the eco
nomic and political chaos.
All available informatio of an Off

Each of these groups seems to be
potent in it's own region. Any move
which means to treat with the soviet
as de facto authority, as was pro-
posed recently by Lloyd George, not
as an act of condoning bolshevist
terrorism but to get some central
authority with which to deal effect
lively. means naturally deep antagon-
ism to the anti-bolshevist factions
which are struggling to overthrow
the soviet.
