Y. M. c. A. MEN ARE
 CAUGHT BY SHELLS
By Associated Press

by HsSOcidteu FreSS Archangel, July 1.-Two American r. M c. A. men, Howard E. Merrell of Somerville, Mass. and Thomas l.. Cot ton of Lingle. Wyo., were caught amid heavy shell fire in a mutiny of Russian troops at Tulgas, on the Dvina river, some time ago. Their experiences have just now been told.
 Merrill and Cotton, who were formerly Dartmouth college athletes, were the only Americans in the village which was garrisoned by Russian troops, with a few British officers. The Russians, fearing that they were about to be cut off and surrounded by the .bolsheviSi, determined to mutiny. They escorted the two Amer jeans to a blockhpuse sswhich was under fire from Russian artillery.
 The blockhouse eventually became too hot for the Russian escorts and they fled, leaving the Americans to make their escape to Archangel by rowing 25O miles down the river.

One of the little sub-chasers in the fleet scoops up hundreds of pounds of them each evening when operations cease for the day. and distributes among the sev- eral vessels for food. The men enjoyed it for time. but now hate the sight of fish.
 One catch included a salmon which was cruising around miles out from land Anglers say that salmon should not be so far from land.
