see a native of the peasant type with

at most to provide for their comforts

LETTER FROM ARMY OFFICER
TELLS0F CONDITIONS IN SIBERIA
Brother of Cordova Citizen Writes Interesting and
Instructive Epistle from Scene of Strife Be
tween BolsheviAi and Civilization

Albert L. Galen, Judge advocate
general of the American expeditionary
forces in Siberia, with headquarters
at Vladivostok, has written a letter
to his brother, James l.. Galeen of this
city, in which he gives some most
timely information as to conditions
in that little known theater of war;
"A. l.. Galen is one of Montana's best
known citizens, being a practicing
attorney of Helena. For eight years
he was attorney general of his state.
and was the youngest man who ever
occupied that important elective Of
fee
Mr.. Galen's letter to his brother is
dated at Vladivostok, November II,
1918, the day the armistice was signed
by Marshal Foch and the German
commissioners which brought ces-
sation of fighting on the western
front. 1t is as follows:
A Mixed Population
1t is now nearly three months since
Tommey and myself left the states,
accompanying Major General Graves
upon this expedition to Siberia. Vol
umes could be written concerning the
country, the people and the conditions
at present existing here, but / do not
at this time feel equal to the task, nor
will my time permit.
There is at present the most strange
conglomeration of population in Via
divostok and vicinity to be imagined.
The Japanese, British and Czech
Slovak armed forces are here in con-
siderable number, as are also armed
forces of the Chinese, French and 1tal-
lans, and all are differently uniformed
and have different insignia of rank.
Every country on earth seems to be
represented, and uniforms and in
sigma of all kinds are daily in evil
dence upon the streets. Under an old
Russian law or custom every official
and craftsman wears a uniform and
insignia, and this conglomerate mass
OF uniformed men, intermingled with
the different allies here represented,
with their various costumes and in
sigma, keeps the ordinary American
soldier, wishing to show Difference
and respect to superior officers of the
allied forces, in continual doubt as to
who to salute and who not to. The
dog-catcher or the garbage man is
likely to be seen on the streets more
gaudily attired in uniform than a
judge of the district court or a COM
mander of the Russian or naval forces,
and you may readily appreciate, in
consequence, our difficulty in properly
representing the American people in
our daily relations with this mixed
populace.

DUNKIRK, N. Y. September Ii
The league of nations was attacked
