European Russia arc such as to in-
crease the importance of this angle of
the allied programme and the econom-
ic question for future disposition.
America’s recognition of the Cseeho-
Slovak belligerents unites the Allies in
their intrntion to give full support to
these forces—money, men and ammu-
nition. Simultaneously this government
definitely dismisses any, thought of
recognising the Bolshevik!, against
whom the CMcb's are fighting.
Thus, an important modification of
the American course in Russia la seen
and more and more the allied program
centers on the military.
Russian officials familiar with the
fighting engineer units which have
been smashing the German lines from
one end of tbs French front to the
other, have been assigned to the 4th
regiment.

eomplement of troops of this branch
of the service to get overseas.
The remaining officers have all
been assigned to different regiments
at Humphreys, each one drawing a
large quota of seasoned veterans, who
will assist in the work of speeding up
the training of the engineer soldiers
at eamp now and those who will ar-
rive with the September draft.
