GUNS ON SHIPS FALL
THROUGH DECKS WHEN
FIRED AT BOLSHEVIKI
Bluff of Young Russian Naval Officer Saves Allied Expe-
dition From Being Wiped Out in North Russia

ArchangcI. May lit was large
ly due to the bluff" of a young
Russian naval officer in command
of one of the little Allied steamers
on the Dvina river, that the original
Allied expedition up that river from
Archangel was not wiped out by the
Bolsheviki in the early phases of the
Northern Russian campaign.
The Dvina expedition, 1873 strong,
went poking its way nonchalantly
UP the broad river aboard two or
three funny looking river steamers,
on which field pieces and machine
guns had been mounted. The Boil
sheviki had taken the best boats,
Mississippi type of paddle-wheelers,
with them in their flight.
The famous 1873 reached Berens-
niki, nearly 200 miles south of Arch
angel at the junction of the Naga
river with the Dvina, without firing
a shot. One night. all of sudden,
three or four Bolshevik side-wheel-
ers mounting big guns came around
bend in the river and started
trouble. When we fired our cannon,
they fell through the thin decks in
to the StateroomS or our steamers
bluffs" Enemy
A young Russian naval officer, IN
command of one our little ships with
his own gun out of action. stood pat
with the useless muZZle turned to-
ward the biggest of the enemy's ships
and barred the channel while our
other ships retreated.
Then our river expedition got the
that RrifiGh monitor.
sent all the way from the Belgian
coast, was on the way to help them.
The monitor crawled along the sand
bars and got to Beresniki. The COL
onel in command of the river land
forces told me about it, a few weeks
later, when I went up to his sector
of the front. 1t was something of a
tragedy this first episode of the
monitor, but the colonel couldn't
help laughing about it.
The monitor steamed up" the
colonel said. "and it's captain was
rowed over to my headquarters ship.
The navy was on the job and so.
naturally, all was over. He didn't
want to stop a minute.
Where. he shouted, is the
enemy fleet. and which is the way
to Kotlass?'
AND tnen tne monitor CnuBgeu

ship around the bend in the river. 1t
didn't find the enemy fleet and it
certainly was a long way from Kot-
lass. when a Bolshevik land battery,
masked in the woods OH the river
bank. dropped a big shell into the
monitor. putting it out of commits
sion and sending it back to Beres-
niki."
Help Arrives
It was in this episode of the mon
| itor that a young British naval sur
geon performed one of the feats of
bravery and selfdenial that are con-
tinually taking place in this war.
With one eye shot out and with blood
nearly binding the other, this young
surgeon calmly and successfully at
tended to the monitors wounded
until he fell exhausted.

The Democratic Campaign.

1t is the plan of the Democratic
National Committee, which has Just
elected HOMER S. CUMMINGS of Con
necticut as chairman, TO begin the M q.
tional campaign of 1920 at once, and
TO carry it on with particular vigor
in the Middle West and West. MFR.
CUMMINGS is to have the assistance of
two vice chalrmen, J. BRUCE KREMER
of Butte, Mont, and SAMUEL b. AMI
DON of Wichita, Kan.
The campaign of 1912 was carried
on under such peculiar circumstances
that 1t was impossible TO figure from
its result any reasonable scheme for
the maintenance of Democratic CON
troll in the nation. Democratic vic
tories in the Congress struggle of 191 (
and the Presidential canvass of 1916,
however, gave the Southern Demo

Why America Loves lafayette.

President WILSON has written a
sentiment for inscription on the mon
ument to LAFAYETTE which Ii to be
erected IN Mount Vernon Square in
the city of Baltimore, and this is
what he has composed:
'I.AyArBrTr, Immortal because a self
forgetDul servant OF Justice and human
ity. Beloved by all Americans because
he acknowledged no duty more eacred
than to ight for the freedom of his
fellow men,
The second sentence Of this literary
production gravely misrepresents the
American attitude toward LAFAYETTE.
That great Frenchman is indeed be-
loved by Americans, but not because
'he acknowledged no duty more sa-
cred than to fight for the freedom of
his fellow men" Not the general
sympathy of LAFAYETTE with freedom.
but his specific acts to help Americans
win their freedom endeared him to
men OF WAsHINaroS's generation and
keep his memory green to-day. Had
LAFAYETTE been unable to come to
America and fight for our cause, had
he been unable to help us in our hour
Of need. no such sentiment as FIVE gen.
erations of patriots here have cher.
ished for him would have existed. nc
matter what duty he did or did not
acknowledge.
Mr.. WILSON'S idealism Is no doubt
admirable, but the American people
look below mans sentiments, and
ask what his deeds are: and the most
praiseworthy sentiments unaccompa
MED by acts receive mighty little con
sideration from the men in the stree,
who make public opinion.

Mr.. Justice HOLMES, in which that
learned Judge said:
'T think that We greatly exsegerate
the value and importance to the public
OF competition in the production ana dis
tribution of an article as dlxlng a fair
price. What really nxes that is the
competition OF conflicting desires. We
none of US can have as much as we
want OF all the things that We want.
Therefore we have to choose. As soon
as the price OF something that We want
goes above the point at which We are
willing 10 give up other things to have
that, we cease to buy Il and we buy
something else. I cannot believe
that In the long run the public will

to cut reasonable prices for some ul-
terror purpose of their own and thus to
impair. IL not to destroy. the production

THE OPEN WINDOW IDEA.
Has 1t Been Overdone IN the Epi-
demic OF Influenza?

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: It
Is the experience OF nearly all human
beings. | venture TO believe. that colds"
are in some way closely related to sud
den chilling drafts and certain states
OF the atmosphere. Nevertheless, when
the present influenza epidemic com
menced in this country there was a
general demand that the windows Of the
sickroom should be opened from top 10
bottom, utterly regardless OF anything
and everything y one physician consid-
cred IL advisable TO keep influenza
patients outdoors.
Has this reckless open window treat
ment been a success? Why. read the
answer on the tombstones in the oeme-
teries. No claim is made here that 4
stufty. dusty. airless room should be
used 1t isn't necessary or logical to
present a condition OF that kind as the
only alternative TO the one now
employed
Isn't 1t very essential that the tenn
perature of the sick room OF an influenza
patient particularly in the acute and
violent stage. should be absolutely uni
form, and entirely free from gusts OF
cold, damp wind? And is 1t possible
that the death rate would be any
greater IL such sick ones were treated
with little more consideration
Isn't the present open window theory
likely TO take its place one OF these
days with thousand other theories,
now obsolete and ridiculous. that
abound in the long history OF the theory
and cure of disease? w 8. DAVIS.

NEW UNIFORMS FORBIDDEN
Discharged Soldiers May Wear Only
Thoss- SuppIled.-'o Them

To THE EDITOR or TIE SUN---Str. I
am enclosing copy OF a circular issued
by the War Department relative TO the
clothing which an officer or enlisted SOL
dier is permitted to wear after his dis
charge. According to it uniforms made
for privates by civilian or other taiIora
will not be permitted 10 be worn.
To one who has seen the uniform
which is handed hack to the private
after It has gone through the disinfect
ing process used In Camps Merritt and
Mills the order seems to be harsh and
unnecessary. The suits and overcoats
after having gone through the steam
are n mass Of wrinkles. These wrinkles
cannot be eradicated by pressing the
uniforms, and they present a disrepu-
table appearance 50 bad are they. in
fact. no soldier desiring TO present a
fair appearance on his return home
likes to wear them.
Now 1t seems to me wholly unfair -
Il soldier desires TO spend his own
money to replace that uniform in order
that he may he credit to himself and
TO the army In parsdes and on his re-
turn home, that he should not be per
mitted TO purchase another regulation
uniform which will permit him to an
pear in public without being ashamed
of its condition.

taxable signs of deep antagonism to
the Republican party. The Demo
cratic Solid South and the anti-Re-
publican West were to be Joined In
permanent alliance.
The fatal defects in this plan were
that the Solid South was solid only
for itself. and the West was not anti.
Republican. Perhaps IL the Southern
politicians in Washington had been
able to see beyond the boundaries Of
their own districts they might have
fixed up some sort of deal with some
Westerners. The Southern rulers
Of the Democratic party. however.
could not see beyond the ends of their
noses, and their selfshness would in
evitably have blocked their scheme
had there been in fact any desire on
the part Of the West to abandon the
Republican party permanently. The
West gave It's answer In the Congress
elections of last year, when even the
personal appeal of President WILSON
did not avert the rebuke the electors
Of that region were bent on admins
tering to him and his party because
of their economic ignorance, their
administrative laundering and their
political maladroitness
Chairman CUMMINGS has hard and
thanklcss task before him. The West
erners who flirted with the Demo-
cratic party have learned their lesson.
They are not going to be deceived
again, If they ever have been deceived,
by the advances of the Democrats.
They do not want KrTcHIN in the
saddle again.
