MAY WITHDRAW FORCES
FROM RUSSIA

Report has it that the American
force at Archangel is to be withdrawn,
and if there is to be any further police
duty to perform in that country troops
of European countries will attend to
it. That information comes as a
great relief to the people of Wiscon-
sin and Michigan, from which States
most of the young men in the Russian
expedition were taken. Most harrow
ing stories are related of the priva-
tions and sufferings Of those soldiers,
and the impression is widespread that
it was quite unnecessary to send them
there in the first place or keep them
at Archangel after the capture of that
port had been accomplished. Secre-
tary Baker complacently tells the
country that he has heard no COM
plants concerning the Russian situa-
ton. If that be true it is only because
the letters from sorrowing mothers
addressed to him have found their
way into the waste basket instead of
being laid upon his desk. 1t is only
too apparent that if our small force is
retained at that isolated spot it must
be reinforced to prevent extermina-
tion by the Bolsheviki The demands
of Republicans in the Senate and
House that the boys be withdrawn at
once appear to have reached the ears
of the Powers that be, and their re-
turn to more civilized surroundings is
promised.

President Robbins Urges Activity for
Owosso's Advancement

Joseph H. Robbins, president of the
Owosso Improvement Association, has
sent the following circular letter to
the business men of the city:
Dear Sir:
Owosso is a good, little town. If
we did not think, so we would probably
not be here. However, there are many
things we would like to see in Owos-
so; all of which would help to, make il
even a better town.
These things would make for the
common good and therefore we are all
interested and should be willing to
give of ourselves, our money and our
influence to accomplish them. If we
do not feel this way toward our town
we should arrange as soon as possible
to move to some other place.
The only instrumentality we have
with which to work is our organiza-
tion of men known as the Improve.
ment Association. This Association
has been in existence for somes time
and has a good record of accomplish
ment and is usually turned to for ad
vice and assistance along community
advancement. It's course in some in
stances have been criticised. The only
way to avoid criticism is not to dc
anything at all and this course woulc
not result in what the friends of oul
town have in mind.
Among other things we need hos
pital; we need a new hotel; we neeC
parks; we need river improvements
we need different system of street
lightning; we need new city hall; We
need centralized fire department.
The directors of the Association mel
this week and decided to put on ar
aggressive campaign to accomplish
some of the above improvements anc
decided to take them up one at time
They decided to take up the hospi
tai project first; decided to meet every
week again on Tuesday at noon al
Lovett's Cafe and decided that lit
tie later they would take up and push
the project of securing new members
calculating thus to give every one
who is friend of the city an opportu
nifty to demonstrate this in materia
and substantial way.

DEMOCRATIC EFFICIENCY

Secretary Baker recently reported
that complete lists of casualties had
been sent to Washington, and that
1000 clerks were busy in getting
them out. The daily casualty list at
the time contained about 500 names,
which shows that two clerks, by ap-
plying themselves attentively to their
duties managed to get out together
one name each day. But Mr.. Baker
announced that 1000 more clerks
would be added to the force with a
view to speeding up the final casualty
reports. With 1000 employees bend
ing their energies to that end the pub
lie may reasonably expect a daily list
Of 1000 names until the entire num-
Der are printed. Some efficiency!

Would Change Owosso City Govern
ment to Manaaer Plan.

A resolution introduced by John
j. Mcdonald at the weekly meeting
of the Improvement association Tues
day, instructed President j. H. Rob-
bins to appoint a committee of five to
investigate the advisability of revis-
ing the municipal charter to provide
for the city manager form of govern
ment, instead of the present three COM
missioner plan.
The resolution elected considerable
discussion, the gist of which was that
the five years experience the city has
had under the present charter, has
proven it to be inadequate to the
city's needs. The plan advocated by
some of those who spoke was to have
a commission of five or eight members
to serve without salary and to act as
the legislative body, while the city
manager to be hired by the commits
sion, would be the supreme executive.

wills filed in the probate court Mon
day. H. B. Hodges, deceased, who

Elizabeth Anderson leaves $25 to the
Free Methodist church of Owosso.
Mr.. Hodges will provides that in
case the Grand Rapids mission, which
is new institution, should not be in
existence at the time of his death, the
$500 meant for it should go to the
Bible Holiness school.

dren $1,000 in money, to be paid to
them. if they have any children. If
not, the money is to be paid at the

farms, plot of 10 acres and two fine
pieces of residence property in Owos-
so.
The will of Mrs. Anderson gives
her home in Owosso to her sister, Mrs.

Gen. Leonard Wood has been sent to

Washington Letter.
WOULD RELIEVE WAR

Washington, Jan. 28.-(Special
cial correspondence Representative
Charles E. Fuller of Illinois, Repub-
lican, suggests that one way to re-
lieve the War Risk Insurance Bureau
of some of it's work is to transfer one
OF it's duties to the Pension Bureau.
The War Risk Office is about to COM
mence on comparatively new phase
of its work, and that is the payment
of compensation for death or disabil-
ity incurred in the service. Mr.. Full
Ter contends that such disbursements
are merely pensions disguised under
another name, and should be admins
tered by the same bureau, and the
same trained personnel that have
handled all of our pensions in the
past. He has introduced a bill en-
bodying his views, and in his explana-
tion of the measure Mr.. Fuller proves
that he has spent much time and
study on the question. He calls at
tention to the fact that the Pension
Office has trained force and the ma
chinery necessary for mailing mil
lions OF checks annually with efficien-
cy and dispatch; it has medical divi-
sion whose examiners and reviewers
have had long experience in the inves-
tigation of precisely the kind of cases
that will arise after the present war;
it has a field force, the members of
which have had years of experience in
inquiry into and report upon claims;
and it has filing system evolved af-
ter investigation of other systems and
peculiarly fitted for pension work.
Mr.. Fuller contrasts the efficient or
ganization of the Pension office with
the new and untried employees and
systems of the Bureau of War Rish
Insurance, and urges that the Govern
ment and it's beneficiaries both would
profit if the transfer he has suggested
were to be made by Congress in the
passage of his bill.
