AMERICAN TROOPS RELUCTANT TO fICHT Officers, However, Persuade Them to Attack Bolsheviki RUSSIAN FRONT TROUBLE Men Say They Were Drafted to Fight Germany and War is Over. Archangel, April 8.-(By th ciated Press.)-In view of the - tion which has developed amon.. ..m American troops in Archangel, official circles are impressed with the neces sity of promptly relieving the Amer ican soldiers who are in North Rus The soldiers have interpreted the Washington statement that they would be relieved at the earliest mo ment possible as meaning not later than June 1, which is the time they believe navigation at Archangel prob ably will be open, and while out of a spirit of loyalty to their officers and 'to American traditions, they express a willingness to stick it out until that (late, they are exceedingly reluctant to go to the front and risk their lives. Reluctant to Fight. A company of American troops re cently showed some hesitation in re turning to the fighting front south ofi Archangel, declaring that the war with Germany was over and that the United States was not at war with the Bolsheviki. The regimental com mander in a speech said that they were fighting a desperate defensive battle and appealed to them to stick it out. Th company then left for the front. fen Put Up Argument. The situation arose when the com .pany rte.led was adered back to the front after a rest period at Archan gel. The officers were informed that the rr.--n did not want to go to the front r. gain. Tfhey asked to have their arguments answered. The men con tendled that they were diraft men con scripted for the war with Germany, which was finished now; that America was nut at war with the Bolsheviki that he entire Bolsheviki question| was the subject of much political de-|I bate and indecision in the Unitede States. andl that, so far as thev: were c'oncerned, they weore unable 'to see why they should hr fighting if there was no war. The re gime'ntal co.;amander said that, pcerhaps, t heir own lives depend edi unon the fighting on this front, aind then made his successful appeal, reciting- to the men traditions of the Americani army.

In official circles "in Archangel there is no disposition seriously to blame the troops for this condition. Op their arrival in North Russia last September the Americans were keen for fighting the Bolsheviki, who they had been told were German agents, They have fought bravery throughout the campaign and they are still doing so. . Men Losing Spirits. However, since the armistice with Germany was declared, the soldiers have been subjected to constant Bol shevik propaganda, which together with their desire to-return home after the end of the war for which they were drafted and the hardships and loneliness of the Arctic winter, has caused them to lose their spirits. Meanwhile, they have had no of ficial Atatement from the government to 'answer the Bolshevik propaganda and no American in Archarigel is in a position to tell them officially what they are fighting for. Amounting to Mutiny. Washington, April 10.-The War Department issued tonight an official statement confirming Associated Press .advices from Archangel that what aimounted to a mutiny took place among the American troops there on March 30. A company of infantry, the message stated refused to entrain for the front until personally urned to do so by Col. George E. Stewart, -ommanding the A merican contingent. Open threats were made of general :nutiny unless a definite statement from Washington insuring early with drawal was forthcoming. The text of the paraphrase of the code message, dated March 31, fol lows, the departure having eliminat ed only the identification of the com any and certain military information not bearing on the incident: "Yesterday morning, March 30, a company of infantry, having received orders to the railroad front, was or dered out of barraks for the purpose of packing sleds for the trip across the river to the railroad station. "The noncommissioned officer who was in charge of the packing soon t-enorted to obey. At this some of the officers took charge and all except me man began reluctantly to pack ''er a considerably delay. The soI ' who continued to refuse was "d in confinement. Col Stewart. '. mg been sent for, arrived and had the men assembled to talk with them. "Upon the condition that the pris oner above mentioned was released, the men agreed to go.~ This was done and the company then proceeded to the railway station and entrained there for the front. That they would not go to the front line positions was openly stated by the men, however, and they would only go to Obozer skaya. They also started that general mutiny would soon come if there was not some definite statement forth coming from Washington with the re gard to removal of American troops from Russia at the earliest possible (late. Seeks Further Information. The department has cabled for more information. From the message re ceived today officials were unable to ascertain whether a condition of mu tiny had in fact developed in the past ten days. Pending further advices no comment was forthcoming as to the course to be pursued. Presumably, it was said, Col. Stew art already had been advised directly that it was the purpose of the Su preme War Council. in charge of the policy governing the movement, to withdraw the entire force from Noi th era Russia when the ice blocading the harbors goes out. The British relief ('xpedition, originally scheduled to be 2.400 strong, has sailed, as have the two company of American railwvay en imneers sent at the request of the British authorities to keep open the railroad south of Murmask. Announcement of the purpose to withdrawv the force wats made official ly to congressional military commit tees by Secretary Baker February 17 on instructions from President Wilson.

"Tanlac is' a fine medicine and. it certainly did prove a fine tonic for me," declared Mrs. H. C.' Landreth, of Blake St., Greenville. "I suffered from a badly weakened, run down1 condition, and I was hardly able to do my housework. I' was subject to frequent and. severe headaches, and' every time one of those attacks came I would have to stay in bed at least twenty-four hours, and I would hard ly be able to do anything .for. two or three days. "My appetite had almost complete ly left me, I had indigestion badly, and at times it woild keep me from resting well at night. Really, though, I culd not sleep well at any time. "It has been about six nmonths since I stopped taking .Tanlac, and I took three bottles. Tanlac quickly broke up those spells of sick headache and I have not had an attack since I be gan taking the remedy. My 'appetite was improved a great deal, my sys tem was built up and my stomach: was toned up so my food agreed ivith me and I am not troubled with indi gestion now. The remedy also quiet ed my nerves, and I got so I could sleep well. "I certainly am glad to tell the pub lic of Tanlac, for I believe it will do as much for others as it did for me. I am glad to recommend this medicine, for I consider it worthy of recom mendation." Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is sold by Dickson's Drug Store, Manning; H. W.

Prench troops have been involved, ac cording to rumor, in similar incidents, but the American officers on the scene have felt that the morals of the Amer ican troops was too high for such an outbreak. The dispatch today did not show to what extent Bolshevigi propagandists could be held responsible for the be havior of the troops, nor ha., any in formation reached the department tending to show the extent to which the rebellious attitude may have spread through the whole American contingent. The 339th infantry of the Eighty fifth division forms the bulk of the American contingent in the Archangel region. The unit is almost wholly composed of selective service men from Michigan. It is commanded by Col. George E. Stewart, of the regu lar army, who served in some of the most northerly posts in Alaska, and became thoroughly familiar with the weather conditions such as those at Archangel. While the action of the company at Archangel undoubtedly is mutinous under any strict interpreta tion of the military code, and would rendler the men liable to severe (disei pinary action under- ordinary circum stances. WVar Department. officials did not believe such action wvould result. It was pointed out that the men ap parently obeyed their orders subse quently when the situation had been madIe clear to them. Only in the event of a refusal which .jeopardized the lives of other men, it was thought, wouldl any dIrastic measures of disci pline be invoked. Officers here wvere frankly dloubtful that public sentiment at home would 'permit any other cour~se, and many of them expressed sympathy with the feelings of the men. *The 'OulnIne That Does Not Affeif toe Base Because of its tonic and laxative effect, LAX A TIvEt BROMO QUININEt is better than ordinary Quinine and does not cause nervousness no, ringing~ In head.
