s to fight for his Archangel state is now learning to
ride the American range with Lt. Smith. Major Donoghue's "little
sergeant" is in America too and goes to school and his Massachusetts
school teacher calls him Michael Donoghue. And others came too.

In marked contrast to these passengers who came with the veterans from
North Russia via Brest, which they remember for its Bokoo Eats and its
lightning equipment-exchange mill, is the story of one of the fifty
general prisoners whom they guarded on the "Von Steuben." One of them
was a bad man, since become notorious. He was missing as the ship
dropped anchor that night in the dark harbor. It was feared by the
"second looie" and worried old sergeant that the man was trying to make
an escape. When they found him feigning slumber under a life boat on a
forbidden deck they chose opposite sides of the life boat and kicked him
fervently, first from one side then the other till he was submissive.
The name of the man at that time meant little to them--it was Lt. Smith.
But a few days afterward they could have kicked themselves for letting
Smith off so easy, for the press was full of the stories of the
brutalities of "Hardboiled" Smith. Lt. Wright and Sergeant Gray are not
yearning to do many events of the Russian campaign over but they would
like to have that little event of the homeward bound voyage to do over
so they could give complete justice to "Hardboiled" Smith.

In contrast with the stories of brutal prison camps of the World War we
like to think of our buddies making their best of hardships and trials
in North Russia. We have asked two well-known members of the expedition
to contribute reminiscences printed below.

"As ithers see us" is here shown by extract from a letter by a Red Cross
man who saw doughboys as even our Colonel commanding did not see. This
Red Cross officer, Major Williams, of Baltimore, saw doughboys on every
front and sector of the far-extended battle and blockhouse line. He may
speak with ample knowledge of conditions. In part he writes:

"Americans, as a rule, are more popular in Russia than any other
nationality. The American soldier in North Russia by his sympathetic
treatment of the villagers, his ability to mix and mingle in a homey
fashion with the Russian peasants in their family life and daily toil,
and particularly the American soldier's love of the little Russian
children, and the astonishing affection displayed by Russian children
