KadiSh.
Later in the series I will tell
of the retreat from ShenkurSt, one
of the great episodes of the war
in Russia.
Now for the last front in north
Russia, the Pinega front.
1t was in early winter that Pt
mega was endangered. The same
Company M which had done val
liant work on the railroad front
during the fall advance was
rushed to Pinega.
March Across Shows
Company M went, and marched
$50 miles over the snow to get
there. On December 18 the Amer
leans started their movement to
Pinega.
AS the Americans moved into

Pinega Valley with the approach

Despite the strength of the
enemy. Captain Moore was forced
to attack.
On January 8, 1919, and again
on the 29th and 3Oth, the
Americans attacked. They took
Priluk and zapocha, but were
held with great losses at Ust
Pocha. On January "a, the
enemy came within an eyelaSh
OF taking the American position.
Move Against Pinega
The Reds soon started to move
against Pinega. Hearing of the
approaching attack, two platoonS
Of American, reinforced by some
700 White Guards, went out to
meet the enemy. Two other
American platoonS were on the
line of communication, and one
was at Soyla Lake ready for a
counter-attack there. Only one
platoon remained in Pinega.
1t was ticklish situation, for
the Red agitators had raised their
heads again and an Allied Off
Ger had been assassinated in a
nearby village. Stern retaliation
was meted out to the village Reds.
The BolSheviki stopped the AL
lied attacking forces, and the
Americans, with their White Rus
sian comrades, retired to Pelia-
CORA, where they constructed
barbed wire entanglements, barri-
cadeS, trenches and fortified log
huts fof the defense of Pinega.
For weeks they sat there, tense.
They did not live in mortal dread
of all the things that could hap
pen to them, for the reason that
they were the same as other
Americans throughout Russia, in
constant danger of death. They
knew it, too: but they had passed
the point when it meant anything
to face overwhelming numbers,
suffering and pain.
While fighting at Pinega, of.
ficerS and men worked overtime
recruiting friendly Russians. When
the Americans in March had fin.
iShed their mission on this front,
they left garrison of some 1000
Russians who had been trained
by Americans.
These Russians subsequently,
gave a fine account of themselves
in the terrific fighting on all
fronts in March of 1919.

OLD CHIEFS OUT,
NEW IN WITH
ROOSEVELT
By GEORGE E. DURNO


CHICAGO. July 2 0N.S0.-A
new set of "President.makers"
was in the Democratic saddle to-
day and riding easily.
They came from the West and
South, and by their united front
and their diligent missionary work
over a period Of months they van
quiShed completely the party's
master political minds of q
decades standing.
The nomination of Gov. Frank.
lin D. Roosevelt, Of New York, as
candidate for President means
elimination from national con-
troll of such outstanding Jack
sonians as Alfred E. Smith. 1928
standard bearer; John F. Curry,
boss of Tammany; John j. Ras-
kob, the retiring national chair
man: Mayor Frank Hague, Jer-
sey City; John w. Davis. 1920
nominee, and Jouett ShoUSe.
national executive chairman for
the last three and a half years.
In Their Places
In their places will be
unique combination. Here is the
group which put over Roosevelt
in four ballots despite the most
vigorous efforts of most of the
old leaders, and which thus as
sumes dictation of Democratic
affairs for the next four years.
James A. Farley, New York
State chairman and boxing COM
missioner. who bolted Tammany
to manage the New York Gov
ernor'S pre-convention campaign
and thus got his first taste OF
national politics.

from Nebraska, Roosevelt floor
manager.
Homer S. Cummings, Connecti.
cut, shreWd old.timer.
]. Bruce Kremer, committee
man from Montana, to a lesser
degree in the same service-stripe
class with Mullen and Cummings.
Senator Burton K. Wheeler,
Montana, who ran as the late
Bob La Follette's candidate for
Vice President on the third party
ticket of 1924.
"KingfiSh" Triumphs
Senator Huey Long, Louisiana,
self.styled "Kingfish."
Senator Clarence C. Dill.
Washington, a newcomer to the
national convention field so far
as leadership Is concerned.
Senator James F. Byrnes, South
Carolina, just elected to the
Upper House.
A. Mitchell Palmer, who was
Attorney General under Wood
row Wilson.
Senator Cordell Hull. Tennes-
see, and Gilbert Hitchcock, Ne
hraska. who lent their counsel
from the experience of their years
in the political arena.
Sitting back of this group al
most unnotced. but probably car
rying the final veto power. was
Louis w. Howe. secretary OF the
new nominee. Howe is described
as being the man closest to the
governor.
The fight was strictly one OF
the West and South to wrest con-
troll of the party from the Smith
Raskob- Hague combination, Tam

consider the wall Street influ-
