BARROWS SAYS
SEMENOFF REAL
YANKEE FRIEND
Ban Francisco, Cal., April IB.'
General Gregorie Semenoft, tor
mer ataman of the Cossacks,
whose financial entanglements led
him to a New York Jail, was term
td a friend of the American troops
in Siberia, In a autement publish
ed in the Chronicle today by David
' H. Barrows, president of the Uni
versity of California. President
Barrows was colonel of the Fifty
seventh infantry when that regi
ment guarded a railroad at Chita,
Sibera, where there was a clash
between Semenoft's men and an
American outpost In tbe summer
ot 118.
The educator said, according to
the Chronicle, "General Semenotf
Is a human brute, a man to whom
death is a Jest, but be was tbe
friend of the American troops in
Siberia, and just now is much mls-
undestood."
Great Fighting Leader.
The Interview quotes Dr. Bar
rows aa saying that Semenoft was
"one of the greatest fighting lead
rs in the world, a man absolute
ly without tear." On one occa
alon, according to the statement,
Dr. Barrowf saw the Cossack lead
er wounded four times by gren
ades in an engagement with the
bolihevlkl. The charge that Sem
not! permitted American troops
to be murdered was declared due
to a misunderstanding resulting
from the bitter fued between
Semenotf and Admiral Kolcbak
"The Americans held tbe west
ern sector," added the interview
"and It was necessary for Sem
enotf to send a train of troops
across the road guarded by Uncle
Sam's troops. Colonel Morrow,
who with the others recognized
Kolcbak as commander, requested
Semenotf first to get Kolchak's
approval. Semenotf refused. Mis
men wore sent on and were stop
ped at the American sector by out
posts. There was a dispute and
firing broke out. A tow American:
were killed. Practically all the
Russian force was wiped out; tboyi
