Rev. Mr.. Shirk, Of Albion, Addresses
Legion Audience.
Only q small audience Of American
Legion members was present We'd

shirk. Of Albion. speak on Russia
Under Bolshevik Rule" Mr.. Shirk
Is an interesting speaker and held
his audience Of ex-service men close
ly as he told OF his experiences In
the land Of SHOWS.
In 1918, Rev. Mr.. Shlrlk sailed from
England to Russia. He bitterly at
tackled the British conduct Of the
Russian expedition. He said that the
British commander In chief had or
ders to throw q Gordon just thirty
miles in extent around Archangel but
instead he sent the troops out on n
front Of from $50 to $50 miles in
length.
Mr.. Shirk paid o tribute to the
Russian peasant. saying he was the
bravest soldier he had ever seen in
European armies. The Russian pea
SAINT Is very friendly to America but
hates the British, he said. because
they know Of the British reputation
for staying in a country which they
once enter.
The seaker graphically described
the first serious battle the American
troops had with the bolsheyiki. A
company OF 100 men were surround
ed by 5000 bolsheviki, and receiving
no aid from the British forces. had to
fight their way out or be annihilated.
Out OF the 90 men, eighty-f four were
either killed or seriously wounded
before the company was able to
escape. Mr.. Shirk said that less than
10 per cent Of the Russian people are
bolshevik sympathizers.
Mr.. Shirk denied the report that
American soldiers had mutinied
while In Russia. He said the boys
merely felt that they were being
handed a raw" deal and that there
was no thought Of deserving the bat
tie front on their part.
Mr.. Shirk described IN detail the
and ideas Of government OF
the bolsheviki. He said that bolshe
vism was merely socialism in its ut
most development.

What tho Figures Say.
The total given, 1871. is proved
incorrect by the state census taken
when the official count as finally
checked and approved by tho state
was 1887 or ninety-six larger than
the present federal census.
The inaccuracy OF the federal fig
ures are shown when il is remem-
bered how many new houses there
have been built since the 1915 census
was taken, and how at the time the
census was compiled last winter

According to the federal census
the population Of the city has In

census Of 1915 the increase IN the five

of the largest bursts OF applause
came when Governor Allen told the
story of General Woods taking his

ordered cack to Kansas on the verge
of sailing for France with the divi-
sion which he had trained in Kansas.
Governor Allen finished at 1929.
Immediately the enthusiasm. so mark
edly missing during his speech be-
came manifest. From the rafters far
above the crowd were released thou
sands of brightly colored feathers,
which floated down snow flake-like
on the heads OF the delegates.
The demonstration for General
Wood was led largely by the Kansas
and Delaware delegates. In the cen
ter of the convention the Pennsyl-
vania and New York delegates sat
quietly.
The delegates continued as IL they
