Washington, April 11.--Arrival of
the American cruisers Galveston and
Chester at Murmansk, reported today
In an Associated Press dispatch is
expected by officers to relieve the sit
uation among American troops in the

until arguments were presented by
their officers. The vessels carried
Brigadier General w. P. Richardson,
who is to assume command of the
American forces, and two companies
of railway lengineers. General Rich
ardson and the engineers were order
ed to Murmansk at the time 1t was
decided to withdraw the entire allied
force in northern Russia and their
arrival is expected to reassure the
American troops and prevent any
spread of the mutiny.
No further information as to the
mutiny was issued today by the war
department. 1t requires some days
for cables to reach Archangel and so
far as could be learned, the depart
ment had no additional advices. The
specific purpose in sending the two
additional companies of American
railway engineers, as explained by.
Secretary Baker to the military COM
mittees of congress last February
was to keep open the railroad from
MUrmansk south to a point near the
White Sea. This line, he said, was
regarded as vital by the British for
the movement of supplies or re-en-
forcements.
Arrival Of the two American cruis-
ers at Murmansk increases the naval
American force there to three vessels.
The gunboat Yankton was already on
some talk that the Yankton would be
relieved, probably by the Galveston

signed to return to the United States.

three ships will remain. supplemented
by Eagle boats and subparine chas-
ers. These vessels with whatever
forces the British are sending will act
as screen for the withdrawal of the
entire expedition as soon as weather
permits In the meantime, the addi-
tional British troops being sent for

Baker has pointed out, for reinforce
ments if they are needed.
Naval officials have never admit

pose of proceeding to Russian waters

BURKE DECLARES

Albany, n. Y, April 11.--Emphatic

of Senator Humbert on charges of
commerce with the enemy"
After a long reference had been
made to Bolo Pasha, the colonel pre-
siding over the court-martial asked
Humbert about an article published

Much time appears to be lost in the

The revolution has eliminated mill

manent world peace is a negotiated

would be a mere paper peace. It

which Frances burning revenge for

German revenge will be bound to
break out sooner or later when the

'On the other hand, no matter how

Minister Bell considers any peace
which would deprive Germany of her
colonies as humiliating and unbear-
able.
"Our colonies have become matters
of national honor" he saws. 'The
argument that Germany, morally or
otherwise, is unfit to have colonies
has aroused the deepest resentment
and bitterness among Germans. in

PRESIDENTS ARGUMENT WINS
FOR MONROE DOCTRINE


Paris, April II (by the Associated
Press While the text of the Mon
roe doctrine amendment adopted by
the league of nations commission at
its session last night, it withheld, its
main features are substantially along
the following lines:
Article X--Nothing in this covenant
shall be construed as invalidating any
agreement, such as the Monroe doc
trine, for the maintenance of peace
Discussion of the Monroe doctrine
amendment by the league of nations
commission last night is described by
those present as having been of a
dramatic character, concluding with
a speech by President Wilson depre-
eating the opposition which had been
expressed and upholding the doctrine
as one of the greatest EulWarkS
against absolutism. The debate came
late in the session, after other subjects
had been passed upon.
The British attitude had been in
doubt until the last but Lord Robert
Cecil turned the scales by announcing
that he saw no objection TO the
amendment in the form presented by
the president. NJ Larnaude, of the
French delegation, followed Lord
Robert with objections to inserting the
Monroe doctrine
The Chinese also offered opposition
to the amendment on the ground that
its language was SO extended that it
might validate certain principles and
claims affecting Chinese affairs.
The president paid the closest at
tention to the opposition to the
amendment and jotted down notes for
a reply. In his speech the president
spoke with great earnestness and
with some evidence of feeling.
To Combat Holy Alliance.
He declared that the Monroe doc
trine was enunciated to combat the
holy alliance and to hold back the
threat of absolutism which was then
mcnacing Europe and seeking to|
spread its absolute power to the west
ern hemisphere. 1t served its purpose
in keeping this absolute power from
the western world.
One of its great purposes he said,
was to maintain territorial and po
litcal integrity, and, having served its
great purpose in the western world.
it was now being brought to the lands
which had felt the hands of absolut-
ism and militarism. 1t was a sourcel
of surprise and discouragement, the
president said, 10 hear opposition ex-
pressed to such a doctrine and such
a purpose.
The presidents speech closed theI
discussion. There was no vote and
when there were no further remarks,
the chairman of the meeting said thel
amendment would be considered
adopted. The commission then took
up the next article of the covenant.
The exact language of the amend
ment is closely guarded and efforts to
obtain a copy of the text met with the
statement that although there is pei
culiar American interest in the amend
ment, there was no reason for de-
