Miss Vnn Donburg camo to Klamath Fulls eonio fow months ago from her homo In Cottage Grove. Dissension was rlfo among tho Am erican soldlors In Archangel when thoy were forced to fight tho Bol shevlks In Russia after tho armistice Mas signed, uccordlng to Oliver L, Williams, who arrived In Klamath Falls Inst night after ten months horvico with tho 337th. Ambulance Company In Archangel. Mr. Williams Ih tho nophow of O. D. I3urk, presi dent of tho Klamath Stato Bank. Ho was accompanied by his wife nnd may locute pormnncntly In Klamath Falls. Williams was sent to England for three wooks prior to being sent to Archangel. Ho said that all tho mem bers of his organization, which was attached to tho 339th regiment, had no Iden that thoy could bo sent to HubsIu. "All our training was center ed for sorvlco In Italy," BJld Mr. Wil liams. "Wo woro astounded when we were sent from England to tho froz en regions of Alaska." "Wo didn't mind fighting In Arch nngel ns long ns wo know that the Germans woro prying into RusBlon affairs," declared tho ex-soldler. "Hut when tho nrmlstlco was slgncci It gnawed us to be thrown against tho HolshoWkl troops, who really didn't want to' fight ua. Thoro was no Joy for us when tho nrmlstlco was signed. Wo know that our lot was slmnlv to bo thrown against tho Bol sheviks nnd fight for seemingly no reason. Wo were undor tho English and thoy throw us In the fray at tholr own disposition." And the strangest part of tho en tlro fighting in Archangel was the fact thnt tlio Bolshovlk had no griev ance against tho Americans and did not rare to fight them, according to Mr. Williams. "Tho Reds sent over propaganda telling us to 'lay off and thoy wouldn't bother us. They really had no grlovanco against us. But thoy did want to got nt tho English.'.' We woro under tho English and naturally wo woro In tho fight most all tho while." "All tho 5,000 American troops nre out of Archangel now but there nro somo In Vladivostok. You can hot thnt Sonator Hiram Johnson of Cali fornia is n friend of all the follows )o saw Russian sorvlce. We glvo him credit over any other man for nldlng us In getlln;; out of the froz mi regions." "With half-iturviid, near-frozen women nnd children standing about our mess kits bogging for food, It was most hard to cat, declared Mr. Wil liams. "We shared with them and mnny times cut ourselves short ot ra tions. Tho people hnve monoy to buy food but the Bolshevik hnve (led up railroads and routes that the fcoa mutt pass over. Conditions In many places aro deplorable owing to tho work of tho Bolshovlkl." Mr. Williams loft Archangel In oarly Juno and was discharged from tho Borvlce at Camp Dodge, Iowa on July 29th. NT U.S. I Iff E HAND GRENADES USED BY CITIZENS AFTER PROFITTERS Proposed Action of Wnr Department In Withdrawing All Organization Which Arc Conducting War Work McelH With Disapproval of K. C, SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13 Pro posed substitution of War Depart ment control of welfare activities In tho army camps and the with drawal of all organizations now con ducting such work, as made by Col onel Jason B. Joy, executive officer of the commission on training camp activities, today brought from the Knights of Columbus a protest on behalf of the soldiers themselves. Albert G. Bagley, director of wes tern Department war activities, Knights of Columbus, yesterday wir ed from Boston where K. of C. de partment directors are now meeting that the following action on Colonel Joy's proposal was taken by the commltteo on war activities of the knights: "The commltteo voted to notify Colonel Jay that tho Knights of Col umbus stand today as always, ready to comply with any order of his com mission representing the War De partment, including, of course, the withdrawal of all war activities in the camps. "If, however, it is the intention of tho department to ask the with drawal of the Knights of Columbus and all other war agencies within tho camps, we feel that he ought to state our position on tho broad ques tion involved, namely: as to tho con duct in the future of all welfare, re creational and educational work b the War Department as a part of Its regular work. "We are opposed to any attempt to Institutionalize the activities heretofore conducted by the so-called 'welfare societies.' From our ex perience, we can safely say that the men in service welcome a relief from war supervision and military meth ods. Thoy welcomo the relief and willingly respond to the service of civilians, to whom they owe no spe cial duty of military deference and obedience. "It is a relief from the restraint of official supervision for them to receive u touch ot home life and neighborly assistance within the camps. The service In spiritual matters by outside ministers, rab bis and priests has also been a grate ful relief from military life. "Ready to leave the service if so ordered, we nevertheless wish to re cord our protest against the pro posed new policy, and feel that the action of congress in refusing funds asked for these purposes by the war department, the very willing contri bution of tjie public for the main tenance of tho work by welfare so cieties, tho hearty response nnd ap preciation of the men In service, the very inherent contrast between mili tary rule and discipline and recrea tional and educational work at the hands of friendly civilians, all speak against tho taking oyer of this work by the army as ono of its regular functions." i COBLENZ, Sept. 13. Hand gren ades loft over from tho war were used ( effectively recently by enraged covll- lana in Zoppot In West Prussia who attacked food stores on tho ground that the shop keepers wero profiteer ing. According to information reach ing American army headquarters a mob, armed with greades, revolvers and other weapons, attacked In num bers the stores which were known to have charged high prices. In the interior of Germany margar ine has been quoted recontly at C marks per pound whereas It formerly cost 2.80 marks per pound. This Is attributed to tho fact that large quantities have lately been bought abroad at higher prices than former ly owing to the loW rate of German exchange. Tho official rato of ex change for August at army head quarters is two marks, twenty-two pennines for one franc, giving the mark a value In American money of a fraction more than six cents.
