1t was in the late seventies Major
Maginnis, by his eloquence, saved the
standing army from being reduced under
the terms of the Hewitt bill. Allotted
five minutes time to defend the army,
this was extended until he had an hour.
At the conclusion OF his speech, the
Texas delegation bolted the caucus

the last of the old Indian posts whose

Perce outbreak Major Maginnis secured
the money from the general fund for
the building of Fort Missoula, and the
war department did the work, so that
the Missoula post actually was built
without any authority from congress
until Senator Dixon obtained fund to
rebuild it. Fort Harrison was built dur

= Paris, March 27-The total strength
of the allied forces on the Archange:
and Siberian fronts is 1863, ,465, according
to figures given by Stephen Pichon. the
French foreign minister, in his address
to the chamber of deputies, last night.
The figures as to nationalities were
given by the foreign minister as follows:
Archangel front - British, $4,000;
United States, 1920; French, o,34I,
Italians, 1.34O; Serbians. 1890; Russi-

British. 10000: Italians. 10000; Serbi-
ans, 100000; Greeks, 100000.
Must Bar Russia From Germany.
Minister Pichon said that the struggle
against the bOlsheviki was not a declara
ton of war against Russia. His address,
which was made in reply to interpclla-
tions by Marcel Cachin and Ernest
LafOnt, was bitterly criticised by soci-
alist deputies and for time the greatest
disorder prevailed in the chamber.
After pointing out that the allied
policy in Russia was not war but
''pacifying" policy, NJ. Pichon said:
The Russian question is vital, as it
is necessary in the interest of peace to
nar the westward route of bolshevism
If We do not act the day Russia re-
awakens. she will find herself the ally
of Germany"

Assisting czecho- -Slovaks.
In beginning his defense. Foreign
Minister Pichon said the government
had no desire to Influence Russian in
ternal politics and that the French
troops had been sent to Russia to assist
the Czecho- -Slovaks.
The present ruling group in Russia,
he continued, had refused to call con-
s.ituent assembly and had suppressed
all liberties. All the allied nations had
sent troops to Russia with the intention
of suppressing anarchy and establishing
a normal government. Peace was i'm
possible, he declared, while Europe was
threatened by bolshe.ik army in
which there were many German officers.
The eastern fronts alluded to by NJ.
Pichon presumably take in the Balkans,
Asia Minor and probably the Ukraine.
