Paris, April 1.-THE food difficulties
N Germany were not solved by the
signing of the food agreement. Ton.
mage is unavailable to move the re-
CURED supplies and the available grain
stocks are so short that it probably
will be impossible to finish the full
amount specified in the agreement for
some time.
Herbert Hoover, director general of
the inter-Allied relief organization, es-
Inmates that he can furnish Germany
10000 tons Of grain during the month

In Siberia.

London, April 7.-Indignation, be-
wilderment and grief are the Feelings
expressed by the newspapers at the
revelation of the Allied position at
Murmansk, while it is urged that the
peril OF the troops is a reason why the
peace conference should decide it's pol
icy towards Russia at once.
The Newspapers emphasize that no
steps must be neglected to relieve the
force.
Yanks IN No Great Peril.
Paris, April 1.-THE situation in the
Archangel region in Northern Russia
has been forcibly brought to the at
tention of the Peace conference by the
publication in Paris of the British
statement that the troops in the Muir
mansk and Archangel district were in
danger of determination unless they
were speedily REINFORCED.
Brigadier General w. F. Richardson,
U. S. A., is on his way to take COM
mand of the American forces in North
Russia and is expected to reach Muir
mansk with 200 soldiers in a few days.
There is apparently no change how
ever in the avowed intention to take
the American troops out Of the region
at the earliest possible date.
General Tasker II. Bliss and other
American representatives here, while
admitting the gravity of the situation,
are inclined to believe that the troops
at distant outposts can retreat is neces-
sary before an advance by the Boil
sheviki, as armored trains are avail
able for all the Americans in the
region south of Archangel and Muir
mansk.
Relief of Archangel from the sea
probably will not be possible before
the end of May because of the ice, but
the forces in the city are we'll equipped
with artillery and ammunition. There
is no direct communication at present
by either land or sea between Muir
mansk and Archangel. Murmansk,
however, can be relieved Immediately
from the sea.
The feeling in American cities here
is that the British statement possibly
prerequisites the gravity of The
situation because of the desire to send
large reinforcements and, perhaps be-
cause there may be an announcement
soon Of the Allied policy toward the
! B0lsheviki.

The Fighters Friends
and Enemies
BY GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS

One of the greatest privileges in
this world is to be the friend of a
fighter man with the vision to see
the thing thru. And I would al
most say that the next privilege is to
be the enemy of a fighter.
These statements were most wonder
fully illustrated Immediately upon the
death of Theodore Roosevelt. Some
of the most sterling tributes paid to
this man were tributes paid by his
bitterest political enemies, for, not
necessarily does a man have to hate
in order to be an enemy.
Sometimes it is a tribute to be an
enemy-surely thus SO to the man
who has the ability to make strong
enemies.
Wendell Philips used to say that he
cid not consider his appeal to his
| audience really effective until they
began to hiss him.
Friends inspire-but enemies spur
a man to his task. Ever so surely
does man feel within his blood that
hisNcause is right-when most opposed
And the more determined does he
| enter upon his program with his eyes
| set to finish for it.
And a leader always has to count
the cost. He plays to the crowd that
| gathers after his job is finished
quite contented with the sufficient
| handful of friends that make up his
| personal crowd as he fights on.
| s.. 1t is great to be a fighter and to
fight clean. Ut is great to have friends
| that stick to you during your fight
who look neither to the right nor to
the left-and never Observation-Disclosures
eyes, with yours, are set toward
| achievement.
| But somehow, there is in the heart
| of every real fighter an abiding affec-
| ton for those who most oppose him.
A fighter could not help but love his
| friends. Also, I am not so sure bus
that. within his secret heart, he also
loves his enemies. Because they
BOTH make him-a fighter.

The Emperor called his Lord High

and his crown polished and again
sewed upon his head. for the Tin
Woodman insisted he should not re-

Scarecrow now presented a very re-

way addicted to vanity he was quite
pleased with himself and strutted

limbs of Jack Pumpkinhead and
made them stronger than before, and
the Saw-Horse was also inspected to

morning they set out upon the return
journey to the Emerald City. the Tin
Woodman bearing upon his shoulder
cleaning axe and leading the way,
while the Pumpkinhead rode upon the
Saw-Horse and Tip and the Scarecrow
walked upon either side to make sure
that he didn't fall off or become dam
aged.
