Anxiety Here Over Safety of
American Troops at

REASONS FOR PRESENCE

News dispatches stating that Great
Britain is Withdrawing her trops
from Russia, following demands in
the Senate that the status of Ameri-
can troops at Archangel be investi-
gated and also that American troops
be brought home, were the subject of
marked interest here today.
No word has been received by this
lands action. There was no indlca-
ton that any action is contemplated
either to reinforce or to withdraw
the United States soldiers now at
Archangel.

Germans to Keep Order.

Withdrawal of British troops leaves
France and the United States as the
allied nations with military represen-
tation in Russia. But under the
armistice terms a peculiar situation
has arisen by which German troops,
in Russia as the result of the Brest-
Litvosk treaty, are expected to keep
order Dispatches indicate that the
Germans do not relish the job, and
would much prefer to stir further dis
order in Russia. rather than work
toward peace and order there which
would relieve the allies of an en-
barrassing problem. The German
commander at wilma is reported as
saying, I'VE don't see why we should
pull the allied chestnuts out of the
fire"
OF course, the Germans occupy only
those portions of Russia surrendered
to Germany by the bolshevik gov
eminent. This portion includes Lith-
uania and the Baltic provinces. Ger
man armistice delegates have shown
little interest in keeping order in
these sections, and the allies are in
the embarrassing position of having
either to compel the Germans to live
up to. their agreement and thereby
tighten their hold in those parts of
Russia, or permitting them to over
look anarchy and make for more
disorder and bolsheyik excuses

Fear Americans Safety.

Fear has been expressed for the
safety of the American troops at

about 5000 or 5000 men, according
to a statement by Gen March last

gaining in strength, are Differed by
Germans and are well equipped with ar
tillery.

Two Reasons for Presence Given.
Two reasons have been given for
keeping the American troops at Arch
angel. The one offered by Senator
Swanson of the foreign relations COM
mittee yesterday. was that the troops
are needed to guard stores of supplies
and munitions. Another explanation
from an official source was that it is
feared the departure of the American
soldiers would leave the synpathizers
with the American occupation to the
mercy of the bolsheviki and pro-Ger-
man elements.
Public opinion in Great Britain is
against intervention in Russia. and
this fact may account, in part, for tie
withdrawal of the British troops. In
some quarters it is held here that
sending reinforcements to the Ameri
cans at Archangel would be a step
is question to be considered by the
peace conference. That move if made
at all, proba bly, will be made as joint
allied endeavor.

Koran Brought Up to Date.

1t is not surprising that most OF the
Arab population should be illiterate
since the language used in writing and
printing is literary Arabic, the very
same in which the Koran was COM
posed 12 centuries ago. 1t has been
preserved intact. while the spoken
tongue has gradually changed. as
spoken tongues will. Literary Arabic
today is about as much like the an
cient language as Latin is like French.
Ninety per cent of the people do not
understand the language in which
the books are written.
An interesting experiment has been
begun by Rev. Percy Smith, a mis-
sionary in North Africa, who is trans
lating the Bible and the hymns of the
church into the ordinary speech of
the people, instead of in literary

Hard to Account for Figures.

Statistics have recently been pub
lished In Germany which are 40 strik-
ing that the Medical Records Geneva
(Switzerland) correspondent says
they "need confirmation" 1t is stated
that for every 1000 boys born In the
later years Of the war, 1,OS6 girls have
been born. Before the war the ratio
was 1000 boys to 1,O24 girls. Moth
Ing" writes the correspondent, "is
known with certainty as to the con-
ditions that determine sex In the hu-
man species, hut there is quite large
amount OF evidence in support OF the
generalization that during wars and
famines, when the conditions are gen.
orally adverse, especially with regard
to nutrition, the proportion of male
relative to female births increases. II
there Is any foundation for this gen.
eralizatiOn, then We must conclude
either that the figures are wrong or
that Germany was mighty well nour-
ished during the war, or else that some
entirely aberrant influence was at
work."

Mexicans Hold STRANGE Beliefs.

Few countries are richer In strange
beliefs than Mexico, writes Charles
Bernard NOrdhOff In the Atlantic
Monthly. There the witches assume
the eyes of cats and fit through the
night on vampires wings. A brisk
business is done in love potions and
candle flames still point the way to
buried treasure. The Mexican inherits
his cruelty to domestic beasts from
both the Spaniard and the Indian, and
his superstitions may be traced to the
same double source.
Eccentricity is not understood in
Mexico. The native is lover of for
mality, and one is judged largely by
external things. Each man dresses
according to his station, and it is un-
thinkable that well-tO-dO man should
wear straw sombrerO or carry a
serape; the poems would be the first
to jeer at him.
