AMERICANS MAY STAY
IN EUROPE TWO YEARS
Plan on Foot to Have the United
States Police the Central
Empires.

Washington. Dec. 30.-Allied mill
tary representatives will be unanimous
in urging upon the peace conference
the necessity of maintaining in Europe
for at least two years larger standing
armies than in peace times, according
to Col. UgO PizZarello, one of 1taly's
most famous war heroes, who has ar
rived in Washington from Rome en-
route to the large American cities.
Colonel Pizzarello said:
"In this policing of Europe Ameri-
can troops would be ideal. They dis
closed themselves to us as the finest
men of the world. Their ardent spirit
in battle, their daring. resourcefulness
and ability to work with troops of
other nations without friction, prove
them capable of any task.
'In particular, / must praise their
elastic administration. Our army is
tied by red tape, as is every army in
Europe. The Americans have an ad-
ministration which gives every officer
powers and initiative envied by every
European officer"

AMERICANS RETAKE
RUSSIAN VILLAGE
Yanks at ArchangeI Recapture
Town of KadiSh.
CHILDREN LIKE DoUGHBOYS
Rush Into Streets to Greet "kind Sol
diers" or "Dobrie Lude" as They
Call Them-More Popular
Than Allies.

Archangel, Jan. 2.-American troops
recaptured the village of kadish, on
the middle sector of the northern Rus
sian front and pushed forward their
lines distance of two miles south OF
the village in the direction of VOlogda.
American soldiers are 'dobrie ludie"
and "echen sympatient." That is the
verdict of the people living in the
struggling little collections of frame
and log houses which make up the vii
lagos along the Dwina. The two
phrases, meaning respectively, kind
people" and very sympathetic" are
heard everywhere that the doughboy
has gone in his struggle against the
bolshevists.
All the allies are welcome, but there
is no Disgusting of the fact that the
soldiers who have. won the hearts OF
the peasant people are the Americans.
Children Shout Greeting.
The correspondent went with COM
mand of Americans through terri
tory where they had been three weeks
ago. There was a halt at one little
village for brief rest. The muddy
soldiers had no sooner thrown them
selves down on the grass before the
church than curious heads popped out
of windows of houses nearby.
"Amerikanski sOldati," shouted one
small boy, and soon from house to
house went the word that there were
the same men who three weeks ago
spent day there.
The peasants brought milk to the
Idobrie ludie," girls came out OF
houses and shyly smiled at the
doughboys and dogs wagged their
tails as a welcome to the Americans.
The whole town turned out and
waved good-by when the march was
resumed.
Treat Peasants as Friends.
II don't know just what it is that
does it," one company commander
told the correspondent. "But our men
are popular nearly everywhere. Per-
haps tits because they treat the peas
ants as friends and pay as they go"
The big Americans walking along
the village roads link hands with tiny
Russian children. Today the CORE
spondent saw a pretty peasant girl
leaning from a window to pin flower
on a soldier she had met just five min
utes before and who could not speak
her language.

If Peace Tribunal Fails We Should
Be Ready to Aid Weak.
AMERICA SECOND ON SEAS
No Designs on Other Nations-Dis'
closes Strength of Navies, Show
ina Uncle Sam Has 1,217 Ships,
Headed by SO BattIeships.

Washington, Dec 31.-Secretary OF
the Navy Daniels before the mousse
naval committee, declared the Uniteu
States, having pledged its support 10
small nations, should build a navy sec
ond TO none in the world if an interna-
tional tribunal with power to ENFORCE
it's rulings failed to become reallty'
He was speaking in behalf of the Sooo'-
100000 naval building program.
"a large navy is not needed because
the United States has designs upon
other nations territory" Secretary
Daniels said, because this country
has no such designs. But, since we
have pledged our support to small ma
tons unable to protect themselves we
must be strong enough TO make our
pledges good"
Mr.. Daniels said the war nad
brought out clearly two points: l.
That national differences and greed
for power are unsafe and must be
eliminated. g That an international
tribunal with power to enforce its ruiz
ings Is essential.
