FIGHT TO FREE
RUSSIAN CITIZEN
FROM U. S. Pen.
Sent to Siberia, But
Fought for Soviet

NEW YORK, Nov. 10. = Whether
Woodrow Wilson's armed invasion of
Russia without declaration Of war
comes under the technical definition
of war is one of the points at issue
in the case Of Antoni Karachun, a
Russian citizen, serving a 20-year
term in the federal penitentiary at
Mcneil Island penitentiary, Washing
ton, because he deserted the American
forces to fight for his country.
Efforts to free Karachun are again
being made by the American Civil
Liberties Union through Attorney
Thomas NJ. Woodward of Washington,
d. c., who has reopened the case with
the war department The Liberties
Union points out that Karachun is the
only federal prisoner serving a SEN
tence on purely political grounds. His
case, the union says, involves his
conscience and his loyalty"
Enlisted Against Germany.
The Mcneil Island prisoner, mill
tary records show, enlisted in the
United States army from America in
1917 to fight against Germany, though
a Russian citizen. He was not a
drafted man. But after Germany was
defeated this volunteer was kept in
the army, and taken compulsorily to
Siberia in Americas unofficial mill
tary operations against the workers
government which had taken the place
of the czar's provincial governors.
Karachun had not calculated on this
when he enlisted and he deserted.
Afterwards, the American authorities
say, Karachun was found fighting with
the forces of his country which were
resisting the American troops.
Sentenced to Death.
Karachun was captured, courtmar-
tailed and sentenced to death. SEN
tence was committed to 20 years by
the president.
Since America never declared war
against Russia Karachun clearly was
not deserter in time of war, the
Liberties Union is stating to the war
department. The maximum sentence
for desertion in time of peace is only
six years and the prisoner has already
served more than the full time per-
mitted under the charge.
international Law.
THE United States government"
the Union asserts. Ifs responsible for
putting Karachun in a position where
II captured by the Russian troops he
would be executed for treason as
Russian citizen fighting against them,
AS a soldier in the American army in
Siberia he was put In a position of
nghting his own countrymen. This is
contrary to international law, and
Karachiin cannot therefore be legally
guilty OF desertion.v
Associated with Attorney Wood
ward, in behalf OF the Liberties
Union. is wolcott H. Pitkin, former
assistant United States district attor-
ney and former attorney general for
Porto Rico, who has filed brief on
the Karachun case with the war dc.

Mr.. Lanham originated Arbor day in
the District some few years ago, since
when it has been proclaimed yearly
by the Commissioners. The observ-
nee is said to have been suggested
first in 1865 by B. G. Northrup, Secre-
tary of the Connecticut board of edu-
cation.
1t was not until 1872, however, that
any state had an Arbor day. In that
!ear Nebraska proclaimed the first Ar
Dor day.
Kansas and Tennessee followed suit
in 1875, with Minnesota observing the
day for the first time in 1876. Ohio in
1882 and West Virginia in 1888 Since
those dates every state has decreed a
varying day in the spring time for
Arbor day.
