As I did so 1 heard a low, sneering laugh from the table just behind me. My father heard it also, raised his head quickly, and stared angrily across my shoulder.

Williams of Baltimore, head of the Red Cross | Mission to North Russia, who has just returned from a six months’ stay | at the top of the world. Major Williams and party left this country on August 25, 1918, on the steamship Ascutney which was as- signed to the Red Cross for this trip, and which also carried cargd for | civil and military relief valued at about $1,500,000. Morale is Good. “The general morale and physical condition of our boys has been good. They are well fed, well elad, and the health of the troops was very good when 1 left Russia said Major Williams. The fighting fronts, if they can be called such, in the district south of Airchangel are principally along the line of the railroad and the Dwina river and its tributaries. The Ameri- { can troops reached their present positions up the rivers by means of boats when these streams were navigable. In general, the fighting fronts of the Archangel district may be likened to an extended fan, ap- proximately 300 miles to the south and 450 miles acros One of the privileges of the Ameri- can Red Cross has been to establish by means of sled transport, contact with the American soldiers for the distribution to them of comfort kits, cigarettes, chocolates and such tokens from the “folks back home.” The Americans and the Russians some- how seem to get along particularly well, especially is this true of the isolated peasant village, makes him- self at home, making a bluff of learn- ing to speak Russian and at the samse time honestly and earnestly teaching the chiidren a little English, “I have been astonished,” said Major Williams, *“on frequent oc- casions to hear a little Russian school- boy with a famillar wave of his arm phrase they have appropriated from the American doughboy’s vocabulary. American soldiers in peasant villages are on good terms with everybody By their exemplary conduct, frank and fair dealing, they have won the respect of the men-folk. I have been to numerous villages and found that the American soldier was donat- ing a part of his ration to take care of hungry mouths, especially children. The American Red Cross was able to effect the delivery to each of our boys a Christmas stocking. I found that a part of the contents of many | of these stockings had made their way into the humble houses where sweets wer unheard of.
