reveal them until the proper time. =
The secrecy which has surroundd
the Buford's destination. he en-
planned. is not due to any consider
alton for the protection OF the de-

ficers and soldiers who may be risk
ing their lives in escorting the Reds
to Russia. Mr.. caminetti thought
this point OF sufficient Importance to
issue a prepared statement in which
he said:
There are on board the vessel the

and his crew; Col. Hilton of the army
and fifty soldiers acting as guards;
Col. Healy. representing the Military
