Archangcl, Feb. 21.-An Arctic
journey is probably the greatest
magnitude since the famous Klon-
dixie gold rush has brought addi-
tional British troops to the Arch

outnumbered trops fighting the Boil

in single file over frozen tundra and

Troops Heavily Clad
Light wind-proof Jackets and
trousers designed by those of long
experience in the Arctic were worn
over the soldiers uniforms and un-

caps covering the head and face
were worn while moccasins and
heavy socks inside white Shackle-

wind-proof and cold-proof gloves

The soldiers diet was rich in fats
and proteins. reinforced with a spe-
cial Arctic ration which tasted like

Foreign office
BY Associated Press.

Paris, Feb. 21.-"The German
government is the same bureaucratic
regime of the Kaiser's day. with the
same attitude toward labor and
capital and does not represent the
forces which caused the revolution
says DR.. Alonzo L. Taylor, food spe-
cialist, who has just returned from
Germany, where he made extensive
Investigations in behalf of the Su-
preme Food Relief Council.
Buereaucrats i'm Evidence
Count Won Bernstorff is in charge
of American affairs at the Foreign
Office, and the bureaucrats of the
old school are in evidence every
where" he added. The Germans
are becoming Russianized. They are
afraid to put untried men into the
service. and consequently they toll
crate the old order of things"
German propagandists, DIR. Tay-
lor found, favor the League of Ma
tions and are filling the newspapers
with articles saying President Will
sons doctrines should be considered
as having become effective on the
day the armistice was signed and
should have been interpreted as
leaving Alsace and Lorraine in Ger
man hands.
German Army Disorganized
The German army has apparently
been disorganiZed and demobiliZed,
for the most part, DR.. Taylor says;
but he believes it will be possible
for a well-organiEed bureaucracy to
restore militarism if it is deemed
desirable. Many Germans believe
they will recover their battleships
and merchant fleet and do not ex-
pect to give UP any territory, and
in DR.. Taylor's opinion, a grave po-
litical upheaval is probable with
the signing of the treaty of peace.
The present luil is regarded as un-
natural by DR.. Taylor, who says it
was possibly created by the payment
of large indemnities to unemployed
persons and by suspending action
on all questions vital to the future
of the nation. Unemployed men in
Berlin are paid eight marks a day,
while railway workers and street
cleaners get only six marks daily.
Consequently the men prefer to re-
main idle.
Immoral Plays Tolerated
Plays SO immoral that they would
have been prohibited under the i'm
perial regime now are tolerated;
thieving is prevalent; looting is
common, and sthe general public
morale is very low, DR.. Taylor re-
marks. He says the food situation
is critical, and that in spite of the
great reduction made in rations, the
nation cannot live until next harvest
unless supplied by outside Powers.
