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

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

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.

) 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
