AMERICAN ARMY
CHIEFS ANXIOUS
FOR REVOLT NEWS
No Further Details About Re-
ported Mutiny of Lone Com
pany in Russia Received,
But Trouble Thought Over.

WASHINGTON, April IIs---There were
no additional reports at the war de-
partlnent today on the situation at
Archangel. where q company Of Amer
ican troops was involved nearly two
weeks ago IN threatened mutiny, re-
fusing to obey orders to entrain for
the front until appealed to by their
regimental commander. Absence of
news since the report, made public last
night after an Associated Press dis
patch from Archangel had described
the incident, was regarded as favor
able sign.
1t was assumed the general mutiny"
which the members or this one COM
pany said would develop unless prompt
assurances came from Washington that
the American forces in Northern Rus
STA were to be Withdrawn, could not
have materialized without Col. George
e. Stewart, American commander, hav-
ing found means TO rush through re-
port.
1t was noted In the official state.
ment last night by the war depart
ment that only one member OF the
company continued to refuse to obey
orders after Col Stewart had taken
personal charge. 1t appeared possible
to some officers here that the entire
situation HAD been created by this man.
A single agitator It was said, can do
much to upset command, and the
fact that Col. Stewart was obliged to
agree to release this man from CON
finement before the company would
obey orders and board the train for
the front lines Indicated this soldier
had obtained grip on his comrades

Additional reports 10 disclose the ex-
tent to which the unrest has spread

awaited with considerable anxiety.

situation OF the American forces IN

pleasant Weather conditions are try

of the return of the army to civil life
and Of receptions, parades and cele'
hrations Of victory The whole picture
is one well calculated. 1t Is said, to
make the troops homesick and easy
tation In their own ranks.
The units at Archangel are not sea-
soned regular soldiers. They are Sc
lective service men, but In the past
they have shown very high quality
of morale, in facing the unpleasant
task before them so long without open
discomfort. Even now, officers argued,
the mutinous company probably would
show an immediate change Of heart
II general attack on the Bolsheviki
forces, which are harassing the com
mand, was undertaken.
No uneasiness IS felt concerning the
American contingent In Siberia. which
is largely composed of old-time regu-
lar units from the Philippines. The

that a considerable amount OF con-
struction work will be carried on 'hls
year and the main ditch probably viii
be constructed TO the length OF ten
miles before the close of the buildinE
season.
The big ditch will be about ten or

four feet. Its size, is, however, depend
ent upon the amount of storage facil-
tiles which may be provided up Saw
mill (McIntyre) and lnkaneep creeks
Survey parties will go up these creeks
to locate reservoir sites as soon as the
snow is off the higher levels. If 1t is
possible to obtain large reservoir sites
up these creeks the big ditch taking
water from the Okanogan river north
of the Cliff ranch will naturally be re-
duced in size
In the meantime actual construction
work will therefore not go on until
reports have been made on the storage
possibilities of the two streams.
Close attention will be given to the
matter of irrigation in certain sections
by electrical pumping. 1t is to be the
of the provincial authorities
to provide systems which will be large

we'll as the southern Okanogan land
tract intending in the future to take
over this reserve from the Indians for
