went to Siberia about 10 months ago

In his interview he said:
"Of the situation in Siberia, eco

the two companies in the Blagoves-
schenk district were sent back by the
supreme command to Habarovsk for
station, and in November, it being too
cold to continue the box car existence
along the line, the other three COM

"This was the disposition until
quite recently, when changes were
made which have to do with the
inter-allied agreement for operation
of the railroads.
Through the winter our troubles
we're fuel and our strained relations
with our allies, principally arising
because our other allies have a policy
which we all could recognize, while
we have had none that any of us
could recognize. Other peoples have,
by the purchase of industrial and
tary trains to carry manufactured
goods, gained a strong grip on all Of

Il cannot say could answer all or

an important post in the regiment

The original understood purpose
of inter-allied Intervention was to re-

Withdrawing from the eastern front
after its dissolution, to Vladivostok,
whence the French we're to transport
them to the western front, WHERE
they could continue their fight against
the Hapsburgs. from whose armies
they had deserted. In this the expe-
dition can be pronounced a success,
though the NCzechs, finding the line
Of exit clear about the middle of Oc-
tober, turned back to the Urals and
re-established an eastern front along
that line. On this front the war is
still on.
The Americans and the Japane1e,
however, have never penetrated be-
yond Lake Bikal, and deserve only
the credit which ended in October of
assisting in making the front pos
sible. Our presence made the Japa-
nese advance into the interior a sim
pie affair, when It might have been
met with opposition at every step, for
the Russo-Japanese war is not for
gotten in the hearts of the Russian
people. In the original advance and
occupation, Americans met with DEM
onstrations of hearty appreciation
and complete trust and the Japa-
nese were received because Of this
trust.

command and distributed the Ameri-
