England's wel come to her starved and ailing pris oners returning from Germany is in striking contrast to the indifference with which boviet Russia receives the hundreds of thousands of emac iated, forlorn soldiers of the Russian army who are straggling back into their uined homeland, which is prac tically foodless and fuelless, snow bound and in the throes of zero weather tempered by only four or five hours' sunshine. England's king and queen have greeted many of tha returning pris oners. Hundreds of patriotic so cieties have committees- of loyal wo men on" the docks "wire re the' exiles land to provide them with warm drinks and food ' and .express the gratitude of the nation for their self sacrifice ta the entente cause. Bands play tho famllnr aires of the home land as tho victims of German pris on hardships again set their feet on British soil. Flags line the streets and grateful citizens cheer the returning heroes. Defenders Die on Highways But it's a far different picture in Russia. Dispatches from tho Russo-Gorman boundary announce that thousands of the con sumptive and disabled Russians re leased by the Germans, Insufficiently clothed and without food, -arc dying along tho highways of tho once glor ious empire of the Romanoffs.. The rcdM'lig has replaced the em blem of rod, white nnd blue stripes undor which tho prisoners inarched to brittle. The causa for which they fought has been disavowed by the Bolsheviki. Officials are calloused to the sufferings of-hunger nnd dis ease and wholly devoted to efforts to perpetuate the great political ex periment they launched a year ago. Red Officials Heartless Conditions have gradually grown worse from week to week. Food has become scarcer. CorI 'and oil are nt obtainable. Spanish influenza has intensified the disorganization.

Corporal McAllister has received his discharge but whilo in the aervice ho worked in tho Hundley-Page air piano factory in Kngland. 'His first journey across tho Atlantic was filled with thrills. Ho sailed on a Portu guese ship; they run iiito mines nnd submarine nets, and otic of the convoy of- destroyers was. torpedoed. Tho captuin of his buat then was found to be a pro-German and they took him off in irons. This fact accounted for nil tho other trouble which they lind encountered on tho wuy across. Corporal MacAllister nlso had much of interest to tell regarding tho work in tho Handley-Pago factory, which was located at Manchester. Tho Hund leyPnge machine, ho said, was tho product of tho inventive genius of on American who reedved recognition from the British government. Their largest airplane contained four Lib erty motors of 400 horse-powor each and carried forty-two men on a test flight. . over London.
