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. - - '.

'The original plan of the govern
ment was to return to each state a
sum equal to the amount contributed
bv said state less' a percentage for
overheiid expenses. In the enrlv his
tory of the reclamation service, con
struction of projects. was begun in a
number of the states and inforder to
carry on the work and complete the
projects it became necessary to bor
row from the. reclamation funds of
other states'. 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. It wag then that the
original plan was repudiated. and new
rules adopted which provided that
the reclamation receipts be placed in
onu general fund and for general cx
penditure on reclamation work with-
