Telling: ot incredible hardships suf fered at ihe hands of Lenine, Trotzky & Co. by the Czecho-Slovaks in their desperate attempt to fight on and win freedom for k Russians and the Czeeho-Siovaks, even though surround ed by enemies. Captain Jean Smetana, a. staff officer of the high command of the Czet-ho-Slovak . army, reached Seat tle Saturday on the Nippon Yusen Kai sha liner Katori Maru. He was one of the organizers of the famous Czecho-Slovak army of Russia and fought the central powers with the Russian forces until the collapse of that nation. Captain Smetana was living in Rus ia for vhree years before hostilities broke out. There were several hundred Czecho-Slovaks in the same district on account of the dissatisfaction with the manner in which they had been treated by the Austrian government. A bat talion of 1000 Czecho-Slovaks was au thorized by the czar, and they entered the fight against the Huns. The bat talion attracted great numbers of oth er Czecho-Slovaks from throughout the empire, and eventually they numbered 40,000. Kerensky Lacks Srrensrth. "Then came the overthrow of the ar and the inauguration of the Ker ensky government, and we held great hopes, both for the people of Russia and for our own distressed and op pressed people," related Captain Sme tana, "but Kerensky proved to be a weak man in to many ways that his povernment was short-lived. And then came the bolsheiki. '"We expected to fight on and' event ually win freelom, both for Russians and Czecho-Slovaks, but in this we were disappointed. Fighting was dis ontinued by the Russians, and we were left, back of the frontier possessed by the enemy, and there was no other way to reach France and England than by way of Russia and Siberia. "Our application for permission to get' out of Russia this way was granted, find we were ready to leave for the scene of warfare by the roundabout ray of Siberia and the Pacific ocean. However, before we had actually .coin Pieted plans for the transfer of our men and equipment, the Lenine govern ment issued orders that all of us were to be disarmed before leaving the country. It seemed to be a time of murder, pillage and abuse for all, and without arms we would be helpless. Army lias o Friends. "Even the Magyars, Hungarian war prisoners mostly who had been re leased, were opposed to us, and for a long time the Czecho-Slovak army had ' no friends at all. But we always looked to the allies, and it was mostly to America we looked for assistance and we wondered why it was we did not re ceive the much-needed help we had been promised. "Finally the Siberian government rrew out of the disorder and things were better for us from then on. Best of all the help we received was from the Cossacks, and they did the best they could for us. We fought through . out with a dogged determination to win for. Russia and our own people, but it was very discouraging. There was nothing to lo but to fight our way and this was so generally understood by our people that such Czecho-Slovaks as fell into the hands of the bolshevik! were dead or badly wounded. There are now about 5000 of our people, wounded Forely, at Vladivostok and these are re ceiving good attention from the allied forces there. Promised Support Falls. "We do not yet understand why we were not given the promised support of the allies. The belief that this would reach us when we were so hard pressed kept our hopes buoyed up through many hard and weary months. But for some reason, probably good ones if we knew them, this dih not come. I can not say that our soldiers were particu larlyangry with the United States for not coming to our aid, but it is true they did feel badly hurt and disappoint ed. Perhaps we had expected too much from the allies, and particularly from America, as the United States has so long been regarded by our people as the one great hope for the Czech peoples' Chickens will not give adequate re turns in eggs or growth when kept an dor insanitary conditions.

Surrender of Orrice by "Strutting Official" Requested Tliree Days Ago by Secretary Glass. "WASHINGTON', May 19. TIenry D. Lindsley announced Sunday his resigna tion as director of the treasury depart ment's bureau of war risk insurance, deplarinu that excessive "red tape" and ponderous supervision of the treasury department over minor routine matters made successful administration impos sible. The resignation was dated yesterday to take effect tomorrow and had been requested three days ago by Secretary Glass, following Director Lindsley's suggestion more than a month ago that unless he were given wider authority he would retire. Secretary Glass Issued a formal statement tonight categorically denying the charges of Director Lindsley and criticising the director for failure "to observe the ordinary official amenities." Two of Director Lindsleys executive assistants In the bureau have offered their resignations and similar action probably will be taken by others. Director Lindsley, whose home is In DaHas, Tex., and who was head of the army's war risk insurance section in France with the rank of colonel, today made public correspondence between himself and Secretary Glass, telling his story of what he said was serious in terference on the part of the treasury with matters of appointment of even minor clerks, salaries of employes, ad ministrative details within the bureau and publicity regarding allo'ments. al lowances, compensation and soldiers' insurance. Colonel Lindsley charged that, al though when he was appointed by Sec retary Glass last December H he vijas given to understand that he would have authority" to reorganize the war risk bureau from the chaotic condition into which its work had fallen, the treasury substantially imposed multi tudinous restrictions, delayed action on his recommendations, ofte'n for as much as a month, and insisted on submission of innumerable memoranda on minor matters. Preparation of these often took a large part of the time of the director -and his principal assistants. Colonel Lindsley said, to the detriment of more important matters of adminis tration and policy. Colonel Lindsley in a letter of April S to Secretary Glass, said he was prompted to call the secr-tary's at tention to lack of co-operation on the part of the treasury by "my settled conviction that the bureau of war risk insurance is on the verge of a break down and failure would be alike a dis grace to the administration and the cause of physical distress in millions of American homes." Secretary Glas3 in his statement as serted that he had not received the res ignation of Director Lindsley and said that It "would not appear to be neces sary to explain to the public the de sirability of Colonel Lindsley's dismis sal from the service in view of his own statement that on Auril 8 last he expressed to the assTstant secretary of the treasury in charge or the war risk bureau his utter indifference as to whether or not the director's official communication to the secretary of the treasury might be construed as a gross personal affront." "This one sertence," the secretary's statement added, "clearly reflects the spirit of exaggerated importance and insufferable personal vanity which characterized the official conduct of Colonel Lindsley for the entire five months' period of his incumbency of office, culminating in his conceitedly studied indignity of April 8. The strutting around of this official and the offensively peremptory tone of his memoranda finally ceased to be amus ing and that, among things of greater consequence, accounts for his removal." Checks for allotment and allowance payments due in May have not yet been mailed out by the bureau owing to lack of funds; they have been pre pared, however, and will be put into the mails as soon as congress this week makes the necessary appropriation.
