4. E. F. Invasion Of
Siberia Recalled
By Filing Of Suit

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Sept. A.
Revelations Of suppressed details re-
garding the mutinies in the American
EXpedifionary Forces while h Y
were in Siberia during the time Of
the revolution, were brought to light
in a government suit against an ex-
army clerk.
Harry Fl. Zehner, formerly an army
field clerk with the A. Z. F.. enter
ing Siberia. was named defendant in
a suit by which the government seeks
to compel him to return 1915 he re-
ceived as extra compensation for
making shorthand notes of court
martial trials conducted in Siberia,
while the American army was there.
The suit was filed in the name of
U. S. Attorney s. w. McNabb by his
assistant, Emmett f. Doherty, and
stated that Zehner. who enlisted as
an army field clerk, asked for and
received thru an erroneous ruling adj
ditional pay for his stenographic work
at the court martial trials.
Near Mutiny.
An ex-army intelligence officer who
spent several years in far eastern
service has informed the writer of
how the morale of American soldiers
in Siberia was broken to the point of
mutiny. Part of it was due to bad
food and brutal treatment received at
the hands of officers in a strange
country against which the United
States had never officially declared
war. 1t was also partly due to many
American soldiers marrying Russian
girls in Vladivostok, thereby learning
something of the psychology of the
Russian people and what the revolu
ton was all about. Most of the mu
tinous troops were transferred to the
Philippines as soon as possible, in al
effort to hush up the affair." the res
were discharged and sent home.
few were. given severe prison sen
fences, and very little is known Of
their fate.
! The stenographic records of Harry
| II. Zehner, if brought into the cour
trial of the government, might tel
an interesting story to the American
workers.

wing movement of the British work
ers today is actually headed by the
Minority Movement, consisting mainly
of honest rank and file proletarian
and Communist elements. This move
ment is growing ever stronger and
is being tempered under the heavy
blows Of the English democratic
fascists.
"The Edinburgh congress will be
the signal for new repressions against
Communists and the Minority Move
ment. However, the united front of
conservatives and traitors in the gen
eral council will not succeed in erect
ing a Chinese wall between the work
ers of the Soviet Union and the work
ers of England The hypocritical
speeches of Ben Tillett and George
Hicks trying to get places in the
movement bound up with the celebra-
ton of the October Anniversary prove
the fact that the Edinburgh 'victors'
don't feel themselves very safe. Nor
