THE SUXDAT OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, . DECEMBER 7, 1919. EX-SOLDIERS HOTLY DEWY MUTINY TALE Colonel Robins' Lecture Is Challenged in Wisconsin. INQUIRY TO BE MADE rive Men Present at Talk on Soviet Russia bay They Fouglit Bol , elieviks and Xevcr Refused.. MADISON, "Wis., Dec. 6. A gather ing of more than 500 persons who liad jammed into the engineering au ditorium to hear Colonel Raymond Kobins tell about soviet Russia were pulled to their feet in excitement dur ing closing minutes of the meeting when soldiers who had served at .Archangel hotly challenged a state ment by Robins that as an indirect result of the allies' policy in falling to recognize the bolshevik govern ment American soldiers in Russia had mutinied. "We demand to know the authority for that statement." declared Captain John Commons, son of Professor John It. Commons. Ve served at Arch angel and there was no mutiny." I have it in the affidavit of three American soldiers, including an of ficer," replied Colonel Robins, who reiterated that he had proof not only of mutiny in the American army, but mutiny of British soldiers at Dover, Kronen soldiers at Brest and Italian soldiers at Genoa at the orders to proceed into Russia. Soldiers and others in the audience demanded to know the names of those who signed the affidavit, and their organizations. Colonel Robins said he could not divulge this information, since it would involve other persons find federal proceedings which had not been concluded. "We have five men here who served through the whole period of American occupation in Russia, were on the ground at the time, and will swear there was no mutiny of American troops on the Archangel front." in sisted the soldiers' bpokesman. "With out proof of such charges we object to the idea of an audience being al lowed to' leave the hall this way with the impression . that any of our sol tliers in Russia refused to obey Or el rs." One of the soldiers asserted that his army unit was fighting lolsheviki at Archangel on the date given as that of the alleged mutiny. Tension tightened as the colloquy warmed and Colonel Robins said he was convinced of his facts, which never had been challenged in any of lus previous lectures. At the sugges tion of one of his hearers, however. the speaker said he would not include the mutiny charge in future presenta tions of the Russian situation until he had had further opportunity to re consult his original informants.
