Mr. Uean is a native of Enp trained. unifurmed .Russians to scout but hag live(1 the greater part of his life in the States. He had ample opportunity to study conditions in the old country today, na contrasted with conditions when he lived there as a boy. There has hern a marvelous growth of the spirit of democracy among the British aristocracy, he says. England's food policy, says Mr. Dean, enabled her to lay by supplies of foedstuffs in sufficient quantity to last the nation two years, had the Germans succeeded in establishing a total blockade of her ports, as they endeavored to do. The short rations on which the British people were put was not because there was not the food in the country, hut because nl! posH slblc supplies were being placed in storage. He believes the greatest factor in stopping the depredations of the sub marines wns the mine field that was laid from the north coast of Scotland straight across to the coast of Norway and another wedge-shaped field up to ward the Arctic. These mines, he says, did not require the ship to run directly on to them, but exploded on the near approach of a vessel. path or take a pot shot at the en- lomy. ) The point of view of these peasants lis this: "The army has not yet been organized;-we are robbed and ill treated by the Bolsheviki; therefore we have to defend ourselvs." Th peasants in the Knolmogory district, I along the Owina river, have been ! fighting for four months. Military authorities say they do their work as cheerfully and efficiently as regular soldiers. The Red Guards are help Jless against the revolted population. ; The appearance of peasants fight; !ing voluntarily against Trotzky's forces has a demoralizing effect upon the Bolsheviki as it disabuses the minds of some of thorn of the theory that they are being opposed only by 'jmneralists." ; The partisans know that if they are (raptured they will be shot. .But, know jing the forest country as city dwellers jknow their own streets, they are scl dom captured, In scouting they are jas tireless as wild animals. I The government of the north for a ilong time did nothing to help the par tisans, but, now that their usefulness1 lis recognized, they and their families lare provisioned as if they were regu j lnr soldiers.
