Ban DIpco, Ca!., April 9th, 1919. SOMEONE lias blundered. Either the allies should have gone into Russia ii earnest or kept out entirely. The situation at' Archangel, with -American troops-, pro testinir acainst returning to the trenches, clearly demon strates that a half hearted and half way expedition, is worse than no expedition at all. Although from a strictly riiilitary standpoint, there is no bxcuse for the action of the American soldiers, there will be, and there should be, considerable sympathy for them on nioral grounds. America has not declared war against! the present ltussian government. The war in which these men entered, ended last fall. Apparently no explanation of continued active service- lias been given. Furthermore, the allied forces in North Russia, have been stranded during a severe arctic winter, with msutricieut ammunition, men and supplies. Small wonder the morale is low. ' i The blame must rest for the present not ipoh the iitit -a, l i n l l . 1 .. J. army, otiicers onneii, out upon tnc political management at home! No sane person can expect to fight and die for a cause they know nothing about. The allied govern ments should either have declared war against the isol sheviki, and at the close of the armistice, joined with the anti-Bolsheyiki forces within Russia, to clean up the countn' and place it upon a firm and substantial basis, or they should have announced , to , their own mien and the world at large, that Russia s internal dimcultics were not their concern, and Lenine and Trotzky should have been allowed to settle their domestic affaire in their own way. The half hearted, pussy foot methods of the allied powers toward Russia have involved the complications of war, the hostilities of a people, the sacrifices of our own flesh and blood, with none of the benefits thajfc an honest out-and-out conflict might have given. We don't know, and no private citizen can know, which policy would have been the better. But we know, and every reasoning per son must know, that nothing could have been worse than to trv to adopt both policies. It is as futile to mix war and peace, as oil and water, and far more dangerous. If the allied governments considered themselves at war with the present Russian government, then the .men they sent to Archangel should have known it and they would no doubt have acted accordingly. If they did not consider 'themselves at war, then the men they sent to Archangel should have known that, and they no doubt iould haA'e served willingly and efficiently as guards of tne allied store?. - : , :v .' " ' Hut to say nothing one way or the. other, as the cable dispatches ' from Archangel state, ; to order the men to fight, without informing them for what or against whom they were fighting, was to invite the very sort of humilia tion that has been suffered. "We repeat someone has blundered. When the true facts concerning the allied ex- E edition to Russia are brought out, We trust the responsi ility will be placed where it belongs. - - '. Thought 3 Little Children Needed Mother's Care I "My -stomach suffering was so se vere -that I cr,;ild not have lasted much longer.

Soon the . protected work in some of the states assumed a proportion beyond the possible re ceipts from' the sale of public lands in those states.
