'The next congress-" said Mr.
Good in his statement, will be
brought face to face with many new
and intricate problems, and many
OF them will call for large expen-
ditures of money. 1t is impossible
to estimate what expenses wr1l be
involved in the future in the admin
Iistration OF the railroads, operation
of our merchant marine, the war

vide homesteads for our soldiers.
"If we assume that both the mill
tary and naval programs will be
greatly reduced and that our stand
ing army will be limited to 100000
men, it will require rather strict
economy to bring the regular supply
bills under $3.50. 900, ,000."

preparations made by congress fol
the war period and for the fisca
year ending June 80, 1920, totaled

The volunteer army, he continued,
has been recruited from several
classes and from every part Of Rus
sia. Fighting against great odds, it
has paid big price. Twice 1t has
met defeat in campaigns on the
river Kuban, and its losses included
its leaders, Alexieff, Korniloff and
Markoff, and $4,000 volunteers and
Cossacks.
"The army" he said, had whole
battalions formed of officers. The
first Korniloff regiment, now reduc-
ed to less than 500 fighters, has had
passing through its ranks more than
5000 men. The regiment of Death
has lost 5000 over a similar period
''To me, an observer. 1t has beer
a miracle how the volunteer army
got any recruits, There was no CO
ercion. The recruits came volun
tarily, knowing that their lot wa'
most likely to Ibe a wooded cross o.

100000 OF them are actual combat
ants, according to Information re-
oelved here from sources usually
considered reliable.
These forces are divided into 10
armies OF 1900 combatants each.
Twelve OF them are described aa
completely organized. Each army
consists OF two or three divisions
and each division OF two, three OF
four regiments. Tho number OF OF
ncors and men In each regiment
varies from n few hundred to 1000
The First army is under command
of General Michael Touhatchevsh
who, until the Bolshcvik revolution
took place, was simple lieutenant
in an infantry regiment. His mill
tary education is far from complete
but his general stan Is composed en-
tlrely OF officers who formerly be

Third army Is an individual who, u
TO the time OF the Bolshevik revolu
ton. was a sergeant In one OF tn
regiments of Siberian infantry. IL

able to organize such military force

London, Apr. 4.-The curtain was
raised for the British public on the
position Of the allied armies in north
Russia for the first time this after
noon. The serious situation in the
Mnrmansk region and the attempt
by the bolshevih to drive the allied
troops on the ArcKangel front into
the sea are the cause OF much an
xiety.
The London afternoon papers cir
culated posters through the streets
with startling phrases, of which
'The British army imperiled" was
typical The public bought the pa
pers eagerly having no idea which
army was referred to. Some of the
papers declared that another Kut
surrender or Khartum tragedy
threatened.
Sir Ernest Shackleton, the explor
er. who has just returned from Rus
sia, where he superintended the win
ter outfitting and feeding of the ex
pedition, confirmed the danger t.
