" ' ? - ?. ???fr I'ert of Archangel Ik Kepi Open In iHitftr By * Ire Cruder. The huc'ccm* or failure of the "Mln to", the ice crusher Canada ban uent to clear the wty at Archangel, means victory or disaster to the Russian ar my, says lA'ltoy Kenneth, In February Number of Popular Mechanic's Maga zlne. * Russia Is dependent on the otitaidc world for her military supplies.

Archangel Is h? ? only remaining door to the world,, Tli> "Mlnto" Is keeping that door o[>eu. Last winter, Canada's new jce breaker, the "Karl 41rey," with the "New Ilruce" and the "Llntroso" from Newfoundland, and Russia's "Merrl mac" -^-a 1 1 Ice breakers - tried to mnkt Arciiangel a winter port. And last winter the (Jallclan campaign of the Husslan army astonished the world ? until Its ammunition gave out} fhei: It was forced to retreat and It* defeat became nearly a disaster. The falhm of the Russian army to hold the terrl tory It won was the direct reault oi the failure of the ice fleet at Arch angel. When ltiis*da realized tho allle> might not succeed at the I'ardapfclles. ahe placed Immense orders for rails and rolling stock In this country}, hut the slide In our own Panama Canal held the boats carrying the equipment In the Atlantic and forced them to choose lietween making the long trip around Africa or braving the subma rines In the Mediterranean. Tho de lay allowed the early Siberian winter to set in. Vladivostok Is crowded wltl supplier, and the railroad service t< Kurojie Is still lnade<piate. Russia must beat the ice at Archan gel or face another munition famine Jack Frost has always been pictured as her ally, but now he Is lighting on the other side. lie is trying to seal up Russia's only door. The "MInto" Is keeping the door open. The "Kyle," the "Bellaventure," the "Bonaventure," tho "Blothic," and th? "Mlseonopic" have been added to the fleet that failed last winter; they art', all lee breakers: but the "Minto" If' not an lee breaker; It is an ice crush er. The ice breakers have sharp prows that cleave through the Ice, a prin ciple that works rapidly antl well ? un til the Ice grows thicker than the draft of the ship, then the ice breaker Is helpless. The "MInto" has no keel forward of midship; instead, its bottom slants away abruptly at the water line. In the water It looks like a tramp down at the stern ; but its bow and bottom arc heavily phi ted, and Its hull rein forced. When It rams an ice Held at full speed. It climbs onto the Hoe until its weight crushes through. In the shallow Waters of the St Lawrence < I ill f. where the fresh-water ice from tho river sometimes banks un til il rests on the bottom, the ice break er is more useful, but in the Hudsor Bay and the arctic the Ice. crusher i> still kin;;. The White Sea is deep at Archangel. The "Minto" Is a willing boat, and brave, and the fate of Bus sla depends on Its success. Through forty miles of heavy lee the fleet must keep a channel. Night and day the Ice breakers patrol tin i course up near the arctic circle. When they meet Ice they cannot cut. th. tireless calls the blunt-posed "Minto." :t bucks a lead through, and Russia', ?lonr to the world is kept open. IS FOUND DEAD IN HOTEL ROOM.
