YANKSCRUMBLE
IN RUSSIA, But
THEY CARRY ON

ARCHANGEL.-( Correspondence of
Associated Press)-The Russo-Allied
force which has been conducting the
campaign against the Bolsheviki in
this far northern region has been out
numbered by the enemy everywhere
from two to ten to one.
What they lack in numbers, this
force makes I'D in pluck, the pluck
that makes them stick tight nuder at
lacks by superior forces. although
they have not much interest in the
Russian question and feel, candidly
speaking. that the folks at home in
Washington and London and Paris
are making them suffer the penalty
of their inability to make up their
minds as to what should be done in
Russia.
They grumble because they're here
and at the mistakes made by those at
home and in Archangel who some
times don't exactly understand the
disposition of a homesick Yankee
dOughbuy or British Tommie who is
sitting in the snow in frozen trench
where heavy fur coat makes no
more impression on a mans heating
apparatus than if it were web of
gossamer. But they go on fighting,
just the same.
With all their hardships, these
troops have confidence in their COM
mander, Major General Edmund Iron
side, a veteran of several British
campaigns, and siX-footer physically
who spends more time at the front
than at headquarters in Archangel.
They know the general is looking out
for them, but they don't feel the same
way about the folks at home.
Fight Brayely In Cold.
To march for four or five days over
snow trails, sleep on the cold hard
floors of peasant cottages at night in
at atmosphere so thick that one
couldn't even pour it, and then to fight
all day in fifteen below zero temper
AZURE, has been more or less routine
for the Yanks up here. They have
fought with signal bravery, when
greatly outnumbered and when sup
port, because of the weather condi-
tons or the trails, failed to reach
them. Nearly two score of the Amer
leans wear British or French ribbons
for bravery in action against the Boil
sheviki, and more decorations are on
the way.
The Yanks have gone on. day by
day, grumbling but smiling about
their ahrdships. They're not extra
primarily fascinated by the Russian
"Barishnas" or young girls, and have
a Yankee contempt for males who
wear whiskers and kiss each other in
the streets and speak a jaw-breaking
foreign language. They want to go
home as soon as they can, and, to
them it seems that all Uncle Sam has
to go to get them home ffuickly is to
send up lot of regulars and marines !,
to finish the Bolsheviki quickly.
The point of view of some of the |
American officers is illustrated by |
The remarks of one of them to the
Associated Press correspondent.

here with other American reinforce
ments last September, there isn't

THE NEW EDUCATION.

A direction In which much activity
can be absorbed at once is education.
Since we entered the war the army it.
self has done a tremendous amount Of
educating. A new realization. of the
value of vocational training has come
over us, and it is one of the lessons
that should not be forgotten, writes
Norman Hapgood in New Republic.
Sovereigns need to be carefully train
ed. If the people are to 0e sovereign,
they must be educated. The education
of life continues through life. The
whole of life should be laid out on a
theory approaching that of part-time
school. II reduction in the hours of
labor is part of reconstruction, so
equally part Of it are the steps en-
abling us in the shorter hours to pro
Apcel Z, larger volume of desirable
things. .For, an adequate system of
education large number of new
teachers would be required. In by
giene. in new housing plans. in i'm.
proved factory conditions, there are
opportunities for inspired direction, for
teaching, learning and executing; but
the only way in which that group of
problems can be worked out is to have
community awake to them, eager and
informed.
