' This information, cabled to the War
Department by Gen. Tssker IT? Bliss at
Paris by direction of the President, was
transmitted today to Chairmen Cham
berlain a n d Don t, of tho Benat and
House Military Committees by 8eetetary
Baker. The announcement brought ex
pressions ot approval from severs! 8e
ators, ineluding Senator Johnson, of
California, ScDubliran, who has . been
pressing his. resolution providing for a
declaration by the Senate in favor of
withdrawal of the American forces.

Gen. Bliss also informed Secretary
Baker that Great Britain had. decided to
lend 2,400 additional soldiers to Arch
angel to reinforce the army ia North
Bussia. In this connection General
Bliss raid the British military author!
ties felt no apprehension over the mili
tary situation ia North Bussia.
' Secretary Baker a Letter.
Secretary Baker's letters to the com
mittee chairmen were identical. They
said:
'I have just received -cablegram
from Gen. BJias, sent by the President's
direction, in which I am told that the
President has approved the sending of
two American railway companies to
Murmansk for the following objects i
First, to assure greater safety during
this winter of the allied forces both
along Murmansk and at Archangel and
south of Archangel; second, the much
south of Archangel; second, the much
better supply and if necessary the reic

vanre detachments south of Murmansk
and Archangel; third, to facilitate the
prompt withdrawal of American and al

-"In addition to tha foregoing, Gen.
Elisa tells me that the British govern
meat ia sending a force of about 2,400
men to Murmsnsk and that they have
requested the eooperatioa of tha PresU
neat to the extent of two companies of
railway troops above referred to. The
desire for the railway troops is based
upon the tact that supplies and rein
foreements for Aretoangel during tha
winter have to go by railroad south
from Murmansk to a point near tha
southern . extreme ot the , White - Sea
aad that the operation of the railroad
is believed by tho British to be abso

mont, whreently -returned from a
mission to Khssia- for the Bureau of
Commerce,' today told the Senate com
mittee investigating lawless agitation
in this country, that if the American and
allied forces were withdrawn from
Northern Bussia the Bolshevikia would
engage in one of the bloodiest mnaanerea
the, world had ever soon.
The witness said he was surprised at
the demands being made for the with
drawal of the American forces and told
the committee every time the American
and allied troops had found it Becea-

were praying that they would' hot be

Germany Xeaponaible.
Evidence which he said showed that
Germany was responsible for the out
break of ' Bolshevism - in Bu-sia was
presetted terUirwmffilnr-e yMr: Sim
mons. 'It included a sworn statement
of a Busliaa. that just before the Czar's
government' was overthrown he was
sent by the German imperial chancel
lor to Switzerland to determine which
of the Bussian social schools there was
the most radical and to offer the lead
er that the million marks if he would
send his men into Bussia, to spread their
propaganda. After visiting Switzerland
the Bussian reported that the school
headed by Lenine was the most radical,
but he recommended that the services
of Lenine bo not. engaged as the result
if successful would mean a terrible
catastrophe for Bussia.
This .evidence. . Mr, Bimema, said.
coupled with the fact that Lenine passed
through uermany on' tus way from
Switzerland to Bussia ; that membtirs of
the Bed Guard were riven iron crosses
and that German soldiers and officers
were used to put down an anti-Bo!

Where tho responsibility lay for the
reign of terror in Bussia.

Winston-Salem, Feb. 17. The

ed that Solicitor Graves had decided to

oil to appear for trial last week and
who was called out and capias issued

from tho court 'records tbst he waa un
der a bond of 13,300 Id appear for trial.
It developed that it had' been decided
aot . to continue . the prosecution of
Myers, it being held by the prosecution
that tha evidence against him waa not
sufficient' to secure. a" conviction. The
bondsmen for Arthur Manly, one ot the
defendants, have surrendered him to
the sheriff aad ha ia now in tho cus

tne result of the damaging evulenee

plea that they were ia no wise responsi

They were to report at the Union Bta-

With the coming of this morn there
eame if the station about one hundred

The white men were informed by this

Back from the Bepubliesn convention

ciaaea me urmocraiia election law ana
its administration to. their hearts' con
tent, the minority members of the
House lined up yesterday against a bill
to raise the pay of judges and registrars
of election and, much fo the surprise
ill House leaders after it was over, the
House followed them in sending the bill
to the legislative scrap heap.
The measure originated ia the Senate
and Came np ia the House yesterday on
second tending. It proposed to increase
the pe: diem of judges aad registrars of
election from to 'i per day, although
ia some counties tbey have been receiv
ing ns much as 12.00, Williams, minor
ity leader, locked askance at such a pro
posal And stood in awe of any bill to
treble the costs of the bi-ennial ballot
ing. While ha was talking, Bepresents-
tive David-L. Boyd, of Haywood, was
drawing an- amendment to make the pay
12.00 uniformly and the House adopted
the amendment by a large vote. Then
Mrl Grier moved that it lie upon the
table and It waa so.
Just why the amendment should have
been adopted puxiled several members
nf the House after a little-reflection.
The House was paying scant attentioa
fhen the bill eame up, for one reason,
and another waa that several Democratic
members were out ot the hall. It wss
indicated yesterday that another bill
would bo introduced today or the vote
by which the measure failed to pass
would he reconsidered.
The House, however, didn't look with
much favor upon increasing anything
but the pay of Candidate Clayton s
drainage commissioners, raising them

Washington, 'Feb. 17.-8cerethry of

ed to Congress, in connection with the
legislation about to bo enacted to au
thorize the next issue of Victory Lib
erty Loan Bonds, a provision amending
theWar Finance Corporation act so at
to authorize the War Finance Corpora

for the purpose of promoting and
stimulating exports of such materials
and commodities; the advances to be
made to be limited in the -aggregate to
$1. ttlllon. "
The purpose of this legislation Is to
promote' .ite'aale of oiir products and "
manufactures to, foreign countries. At
the presentrime Great Britain, France "
nnd moat qf the other countries of En--
-ope, and many of the countries of
South America, are unable to purchase
our surplus products for the reason
thst they are unable to export further
gold, and also for tha reason that ei-
eHanire between those countries and the1
United States is at such a discount that
eiport business cannot profitably be
carried onr
Beeently these foreign countries have
created a practical embargo against the
contracting of debts by their citixens
and business concerns in tho United
States which would require-the expor
tation of gold. It will be practically
Impossible for th btiainess concerns of -the
United States to obtain their share
of the foreign trade at the present time
unless credits are established ia tha
manner proposed, or ia some other satis,
factory way.
Those who have studied thfl question
spy that the enactment of this legisla
tion would have a very beneficial effect
at the present time on all the commodi
ties produced or manufactured in tka
U. S. and practically cotton, copper,
and steel, - .'.
The people of North Carolina Ind
the South are particularly interested ia
this legislation because of its beneficial,
effect upon cotton exports. It may be
noted ' that thef- preaent time there to
not substantial exportation of cotton,
and something must be done to restore
cotton exports to normal since the res
sntion of the war." :
A. W Mi-Lean, of Luinberton, it a -member

and his efforts will be instrumental ia '
shaping this constructive undertaking.-
