 Ask Railway Troops.
 "In addition to the foregoing, Gen. eral Bliss tells me, that the British government is sending force of about 2,400 men to Murmansk, and that they have requested the cooper ation of the President to the extent of two companies of railway troops above referred to. The desire for the railway troops is based upon the fact that supplies and endorsements for Archangel during the winter have to go by railroad south from Murmansk to. point near the southern extre- mity of the White Sea and that the operation of this railroad is believed by the British to be absolutely neces- sary to guarantee the prompt move ment of endorsements, and supplies to Archangel and the troops south of Archangel. General Bliss also inform ed me that the British military au- thorities do not feel any apprehen- sion as to the military situation at Archangel.
 "In accordance with the direction of the president, l transmit this infor- nation to the Senate committee on military affairs"
 After reading Mr. Bakers letter, Senator Johnson issued this state ment:
 Had Little Support.
 "When on December 18th last we commenced the agitation for the re- turn of our troops in Russia, for the sole purpose of saving the lives of American boys there, we had little sympathy and less support. After more than two months of absolute sil- ence on the part of the government. the denial of information of any sort either to congress or to the people, comes today's communication, the first of it's kind to the military com- mittees, that our soldiers would be returned. The strangeness of this communication does not detract from me very great qualification.
 "When the subject was first broach- ed in December 5000 American boys apparently had been abandoned and , forgotten by their government. They they were making a valient stand against overwhelming odds in all of the severity of an Arctic winter, suf- fering untold privation and hardship and fighting war which had never been sanctioned or declared by the American people. The government either would not, or could not tell it's policy or the activities of our sold iers or why they were killing and being killed. We are yet in total ignor- ance but it is significant that the let ter today, foreshadowing the early withdrawal of our troops, conclusively demonstrated the utter lack of founda- tion of every statement made by those who have sought to excuse this justi- tifiable invasion.
 Miserable Misadventure.
 "Finallv, in England righteous public opinion compelled an alteration of England's course and now apparent lv the course of America is changed. We cannot make whole again the maimed nor bring back the dear ones who have been killed in defiance of the law and in violation of the con- stitution in this miserable misadven- ture in Russia, but, thank God, the American boys who are yet alive, are to be returned to us.'
 Senator Borah, of Idaho, republican issued a statement declaring that to Senator Johnson was due the credit for the change of policy regarding Russia, made by the American gov. |ernnoent
