KOLCHAK’
MELTED AWAY
TO BOLSHEVIKI
NEW YORK, April 1 (by Associated
Press).—How an army of 80,000 Kol
chak troops “melted away’’ by deser
tion to the Bolsheviki, following a
speech made to prisoners of war by
L«eon Trotzky in Omsk, Siberia, two
days after that city’s evacuation by
the All-Russian forces, was told here
today by Major General I. Thord-Gray
a former officer of the British, Cana
dian and All-Russian armies, just re
turned from Vladivostok.
Trotzky, he said, addressing the
prisoners as “comrades,” said the)
would be welcomed by the “red” arm)
if they cared to join. Captive off!
cers, he said, who wanted to returt
to Kolchak would be given safe con
duct and 2,000 rubles each. A numbei
of the prisoners accepted the offer and
returning to their own lines, told wha
Trotzky had done. Within two weeks
General Thord-Gray said, Kolchak hac
practically no army, and a few months
later was executed.
General Thord-Gray went to SiberiE
with a Canadian expedition and was
taken prisoner by the Bolsheviki whei
they captured Vladivostok. Befor<
ieaving, he said, two attempts wer<
made to assassinate him.
Toward the last, he said, the Bol
shevik troops showed better morah
than Kolchak’s men. They also ha<
one machine gun for every twent;
men, he said, whereas the Kolchal
army had only three with every bat
talion, almost 600 men. During th
retreat of the Kolchak army a 2,00(
mile retirement, they were driven b(
lore machine guns, but seldom befor
rifle fire. General Sakharoff, the A1
Russian war minister and chief c
staff, he said, “lost the army at Oms]
without a fight.”
BUILDING OF
SHIPS GOES
ON RAPIDLY
PHILADELPHIA, April 1 (by Asso
ciated Press).—There has been no
sign of a let-up in- the American ship
building industry since the govern
ment lifted its ban forbidding ship
builders from accepting orders from
private concerns, says E. H. Rigg, na
val architect of the plant of the New
York Shipbuilding Corporation.
“Vessels aggregating 1,250,000 tons
have been ordered since the govern
ment ban has been lifted,” said Mr.
Rigg in an address the other day to
the members of the Engineers’ Club.
“But,” he added, “it will be eighteen
months or two years before the world’s
t merchant tonnage is back to normal.”
Discussing advantages which the
• American merchant marine enjoys
, over the British, Mr. Rigg pointed out
; that 80 per cent of the American ships
, are oil burners, while only 5 per cent
i of the British ships can use oil for
i fuel. This, he said, gives the Ameri
can marine an advantage in the cost
i of crews, due to the elimination of
» many stokers.
