LONDON, Sept 4-The British War
Office to-day authorized publication OF
an inspired statement to the effect that
no British troops VIII remain in Arch
angel this winter The evacuation is
to take place before the ice sets in.
Commander Kenworthy, who won the
Central Hull bye-election as an Inde-
pendent Liberal over the Coalition
candidate and who has been the most
lucid critic of the government on its
Russian policy. told The Tribune's cor
respondent this afternoon he does not
believe the War Office has any intention
OF carrying out the announced with
drawal If il can be avoided. In his
own words: They VIII frame up some
excuse for staving"
Cost S5,O00,OOO a Day
kenworthy estimates that the
present fruitless operations against
Lenine and Trotzky are costing Great
Britain about million pounds
$4,000, ,00O) a day. This estimate, Of
course, includes not only the cost OF
the maintenance Of the Archangel ex-
pedition and the naval forces in the
Baltic, but also the subsidies which
to the French, Rumanians and Poles
and the loss Of trading opportunities
due TO the hostilities against Soviet
Russia
All the little states around Russia
have their armies mobilzed. Kenworthy
asserts that, as a result of this CON
dition. Great Britain is unable to open
trade relations either with these states
or with Russia. Between the armistice
and the end Of July the actual expendi-
lures OF the Russian expedition
amounted to seventy million pounds
(s350000, ,000)' according to figures
given out by the government
kenworthy is firmly convinced that
this estimate IS far too low. He par
ticularly emphasizes the loss Of trad
ing opportunities, calling attention to
the little known fact that in the
marshy country north Of Sweden a
brisk trade is going on between the
SWedes and the Bolsheviki. The former
are selling all sorts OF manufactured
goods, and all the most enterprising
business men in Stockholm are taking
advantage of this market.
Withdrawal Pleases Public

its intention 10 withdraw the troops.
which was issued through the medium
of so-called authoritative source, has
aroused general interest Every one
who believes IL is pleased with it, out
side of few fire eaters who arc still

The government is careful to suggest
that the present British policy OF at
tacking the Bolshevikl is merely de-
signed to DO as much damage as pos
sible before departure, 50 as to pre-
vent them from undertaking offensive
operations for some time The British
also wish to leave the situation as
easy as possible for the friendly Rus

trained in war, and some of whom
came from very humble 'callings in

This "Lost Battalion" which decid-
ed to died rather than surrender to
the enemy was composed mainly of
Jews from the sweatshops of the East
Side. The nation wonders rs it reads
the annals of the achievements of its
army in France. And while it wonders
it learns. These humble unassunling
people who pursue very practical and
sometimes unlovely trades for their

Germans with the help Of only a few
men behind him-and these men
mainly Jews:

A Joa.s On the Farmer Boy.

You would have laughed to see lit
tie William, the Farmer Boy. fishing
on Murmuring Brook, some distance
behind Cousin Bruin, the big Black
Bear. But neither Fisherman know
the other was there. They were both
fishing down stream; apd little Will
liam was some, distance behind Cou-
sin Bruin. But the funniest part of
the Trout-f1shing was this: that Cou-
sin Bruin. the Black Bear, wen
ahead and caught lots of fish, but lit
tie William had a bite! This
was a big joke on the Farmer Boy.
for he was a fine fisherman, and had
lots Of patience (Which is the secret
Of being a good Fisherman, a you
know. Y
Suddenly a strange sight appeared
to the sharp eyes OF the Farmer Boy.
1t was a foot print in the soft mud,
on the bank Of the stream. The
Farmer Boy exclaimed aloud. "Ah,
ha! I guess I know why I have caught
no fish today. Some man is fishing
in this brook ahead of me. But how
strange. For the man is barefoot
ed; l can see the print Of his bare
foot here in h mud. Now I, think
1 will circle around in the. woods, and
come out way down below this man
on the brook, and get the best fish
ing for myself awhile. I will get a
joke off on this smart fisherman!"
Now the Farmer Boy was to have
the biggest surprise in his life. For
you and 1 know that the other Fish
erman was Cousin Bruin, the big
Black Bear. You have heard. of
course, hat a Big Black Bear walks
%fatfooted; and his hind feet are large
and long and leave a footprint in
soft mud which looks very much like
the footprint of a mans foot. This
was an awfully good joke on that
smart Farmer Boy; for he felt sure
some man had wet his feet in fish
ing, and taken off his rubber boots.
for a time, to fish in his bare feet.
