~" order in that disturbed
part Of the world, have
adapted themselves to the strange
conditions of that country with the
same facility with which Yankee fight
ing men have made themselves at
home In France, England, Italy and
other foreign countries during the last
year. Letters reaching America re-
Gently emphasize this interesting fact.
This ability to readjust themselves
rapidly to any sort of condition or eli
mate or people has been one of the
remarkable things about Americas
soldiers. English, French and italian
army officers have marveled at 1t.
American army officers never tire of
talking about it. The doughboys them
selves never give this angle Of the job
a thought. All countries look alike to
them SO long as there Is work to be
done. As one Of the boys in Arch
angel explains it:
America started out to do some pinch
hitting for the world. Until the game
is over we're going to stick, no matter
how many extra innings are neces-
sary."
AS everyone knows, the American
and allied soldiers were sent to north
ern Russia several months ago, the
chief purpose Of the expedition being
to provide the nucleus Of an army
around which those Russian soldiers
and civilians opposed to German domi-
nation could rally; secondary reason
being the desire to head off the an
archy that was sweeping other parts
Of the country. All reports from Arch
are In complete control of the situa-
ton. These same reports say the sol
diers are thoroughly enjoying the job,
which naturally leads to the conclu-
sion that they must be fairly comfort
able.
Preparations Made In Advance.
That such is the case is easier to
believe when one knows Of the ex-
tensive preparations made ahead by
the American and allied governments
and the American Red Cross to the
end that the soldiers shall lack moth
ing in the way of food. entertainment,
medical attendance, suitable clothing
and other comforts during their stay
in Russia. To the majority of persons
mere mention of Russia brings up pic
lures Of billiards., ice-bound huts,
dreary wastes, frozen populations, des-
titution, and all that sort of thing.
Some persons, familiar with history,
recall what Russian winter did to
Napoleon's army and say the disaster
that met his valiant forces proved
that no one but natives can stand the
rigors Of the near-arctic climate.
No attempt will be made here to pic
ture Archangel as summer resort at
this time of the year. All the evidence
at hand indicates that 1t Is cold
enough up there for four or FIVE
months to suit the most enthusiastic
fresh-air advocate. One does not need
an electric fan to keep cool In Arch
angel right now. But allowing for the
extreme severity Of the winters up
that way, there isn't one chance in a

cation at his reception in Italy and

The President declared that in a
few minutes several questions We're
satisfactorily settled and that the
work of the TeaCe Conference was
therefore facilitated.
He said nothing during his tour
in Europe had struck him more than
to find himself in the ancient city
of Rome. All the past grandeur Of
Roman history occupied his mind, he
said. when King Victor pointed out
to him the DiOCletian baths. the
obeIisks. fountains and aqueducts
and other relics of early Rome, the
beauty of the sky and the brillianCe
of the sun enhancing the superb
scene
Tonight the municipal council Of
Rome presented the President with

anxious to come in contact with the

and these he will find greeting him in
the industrial Centers which he VIII

testimony in the trial of five So

The defendant had been presented
with the Presidents flag day
speech. and was asked whether he
did not concur with the ideas ex-
pressed.
That is the trouble with Mr Will

full language and splendid phrases,

when he said we were too proud
to night, and was opposed to-a-ois

platform that he kept us out of war,

Table, He Tells Italian
Journalists.

Rome, Jan. 3.-"What is happening
now is that the soul of one people
is crying to the soul of another. and
no people in the world with whose
sentiments am acquainted will be
satisfied with bargaining sentiment"
said President Wilson I'm an address
to a delegation of Italian journalists
at the Quirinal this afternoon.
Il am not foolish enough to sup
pose" said Mr.. Wilson. that our de-
cisions will be easy to arrive at. but
the principles upon which they are to
be arrived at ought to be indisputa-
BILE"
The speech was delivered at a re-
ception of representatives of the Ital-
ian press. The editors-in-chief OF
thirty leading papers published in
various parts of Italy, and covering
the whole range of Italian journalism
were present.
SignOr Tore. president of the Italian
Press Association, delivered the ad-
dress of greeting. He emphasized the
necessity for a league of nations and
for a settlement of all disputes on a
national or racial basis.
The President, responding to the ad-
dress of greeting. said:
Predicts Common Purpose.
Let me thank you gentlemen very
warmly for this stirring address. be-
cause it goes straight to my heart. as
well as to my understanding
If | had known that this important
delegation was coming to see me I
would have tried to say something
worthy OF the occasion. As it is. I
can only say that my purpose is GER
tainly expressed in that paper. and I
believe that the purpose of those asso-
ciates at Paris is a common purpose.
Justice and right are big things, and
in these circumstances they are big
with difficulty. I am not foolish
enough to suppose that our decision
will be easy to arrive at, but the
principles upon which they are to be
arrived at ought to be indisputabIe,
and I have the conviction that if we
do not rise to the expectations of the
world and satisfy the souls of great
peoples like the people of Italy we
shall have the most unenviable dis
tinction in history
Because what is happening now is
that the soul Of one people is crying to
the soul of another, and no people in
the world with whose sentiments I am
acquainted will be satisfied with a
bargaining settlement"

SINK HUN SHIPS
SAYS R0DMAN
Gives House Naval Affairs
Committee Views on Dis
position of Fleet

Destruction of the capital ships sur
rendered by the Germans has been
formally recommended by Rear Ad-
miral Hugh Rodman, who command
ed the American squadron operating
with the British grand fleet, he told
the House Naval Affairs Committee
yesterday.
In his opinion they should be taken
to sea and sunk in 200 fathoms OF
water. where they could never be
raised or salvageda The reasons for
this recommendation are purely eco
nomical, he said. The allies have no
need for them that would warrant
the expense of maintenance and up
keep, and. if Germany should build a
new navy, by the time it assumed
dangerous proportions these present
ships would be obsolete.
mo reason other than purely SEN
timental would cause us to raise our
flag on these vessels" he said.
The Admiral warned the commit ee
that there will be an attempt to do
away with the submarine as an in
strument of war. Although he did
not openly state it, the impression was
gathered that he meant the Peace
Conference would be urged to make
such a provision in the final terms
of peace.
I'm my opinion" he advised, lit
would be suicidal for the United States
to ever consider any proposition to do
away with the submarine. Our geo.
graphical position is such that an
euemy would have to come across the
ocean to attack us. One of our strong
est weapons of defense in such al,
event would be the submarine"
The Importance of airplane- carry
ing ships also was stressed by the Ad-
miral He told of the work of Brit
ish ships of this type and the devei-
opment of a plane which carries tor
pedoes. 1t is absolutely necessary tina,
the American navy have such ships
and planes, he said with emphasis.

demonstration is being planned by
the Sim Fein leaders for Sunday.
when mass meetings will be held in

let Of the island to demand the I'M
mediate release of all Irish political
prisoners.
The Sim Feiners. armed with an
mandate from the
Irish voters. consider themselves in
a strategic position and propose to
make the best Of II. They believe
the British government Is most
anxious TO keep the Irish situation
quiet during the period OF the peace
negotiations. They consider il bet
ter propag ganda to pursue a course
of constantly irritating the govern
ment and keeping their cause before
the public than outright declara-
tiOn Of independence which would
further ALLEVIATE foreign sympathy.

French, Lieutenant general and
governor general Of Ireland. has the
power and the inclination to take a
definite course.
Chief Secretary OF ireland. Ed

as a pacifer, and there is talk OF
friction between him and the gov
ernor general. who in the past has
invariably favored strong arm

To Italy Considered
Big Diplomatic Success

the apparent certainty that the Presi-
