Archangel, Feb. 20 (delayed) - An-
nouncement from Washington that
American troops in North Russia are
to be withdrawn at the earliest possi-
ble moment in the spring was receiv-
ed with joy by the troops themselves
Official circles and also the Russian
population are anxious to know wheth-
er other troops will be sent to re-
place them or whether it means the
complete abandonment of this front
Navigation is now closed except for
ice breakers incapable of carrying a
large number of troops, and accord-
ing to naval advises June wil be the
earliest time for the opening of the
ice floes.
AmericaN troops affected by the an-
nouncement are the 339th Infantry,
and the 1st battalion of the 309th en-
gineers, and all the other forces en-
titled to demobilization after the con-
clusion of the war. There is con-
aiderable speculation in Archangle
whether they will be replaced by reg-
ulars or marines.

bluejackets under the minimum navy
enlistment age of 18 are being invest-
igated, according to the Great Lakes
Bulletin, official newspaper of t he
Great Lakes naval training station.
The youngesters are quartered at
Camp Decatur awaiting examination.
"If they kick me out now, I'll be
back next month," asserted Emmap-!
uel Gebaur of Minneapolis, the Bullet-
in says. "His father refused consent,
but he came anyway.
Virgil Cleary, 15, a sophomore in
the Emeric high school of Indiana-
oplis, joined the navy as an apprentice
seaman, but now his parents have
sent affidavits showing his exact age.
"But, how I hate to go," he declared.

enlistment, James Everett Johnson of
Nashville, Tenn., was discovered by
naval officials to be only 17.
"I'd like to stay in, but Ma wants
me to speak English for her," said
Able Katz, a stubby 14-year-old rookie
whose parents have requested his dis-
charge. Abie ran away from home
and enlisted at Cincinnati under the
pretence of being 18. "I wanted to

ARSITY WALLOPS
OHIO STATE FIVE
BY SCORE 38-2
CONTEST FULL OF FOULS; TIE
BROKEN FOR SIXTH PLACE
IN BIG TEN
WOLVERINES OUTPLAY
BUCKEYE STATE TERM
Karpus, NeClintock and Williams
Play ,Stellar game; 0. S. U.
Take All Tips-Off
With a gradual increase in the
quality of basketball played, the
Michigan Varsity last night, walked
away from the Ohio State five by a
score of 38-20.
Displaying better basketball than
at any time this season, and with per-
fect working of the five man defense,
the Maize and Blue triumphed over
the Buckeyes, by keeping the ball al-
most continually in their own hands.
Many Fouls
Despite the fact that the contest
was not as fast as others seen on the
floor, numerous fouls were called on
both sides. Weltner, guard on thd
visiting team, was forced out of the
contest when four personals were
called on him in rapid succession,
during the second half. McDonald,
the Scarlet center, managed to take
the tip off, in almost every case, but
Michigan would not allow Ohio to
hold te ball long.
Karpus of the Michigan five
played a brilliant game during the
second half, dribbling his way to the
basket for two pretty goals. McClin-
tock, at center 'for the Wolverines,
managed to steal the ball from Mc-
Donald's own tip off, and with sensa-
tional ability, carried the ball to the
basket for two points.
Ohio's failing camein their inabil-
ity to move the ball rapidly enough
to keep it away from the Wolverine
five. Coach Mitchell's men guarded
the visitors exceptionally well, yet
they were able to slip in 20 points,
six of which were made on fouls.
Ohio Sends on Three Subs
During the second half, the Scar-
let players sent three new men into
the contest, placing practically a new
team against the Varsity. Werthwein,
who substituted for McDonald, amaz-
ed the Michigan fans with his accur-
ate basket shooting, yet it could not
avercome the playing of the Wolver-
ine team.
A total of 26 fouls were called, eight
of which were charged against Ohio
State as personals, while the Wol-
verines registered nine. Holding
proved the principal cause for them.
Neither squad seemed able to keep
their hands off the opposing mei.
Michigan's substitutions did not
come until the last few minutes of the
second half, when Coach Mitchell sent
Bornstein, Wilson, and Emory into
the game. Bornstein registered one
pretty field goal, while the other tv/o
men were not in the contest long
enough to make their work count
points.
Karpus, the brilliant Maize and
Blue forward, took the largest count
in scoring, with 13 points to his cred-
it. Francis, of the visiting five, led
their bunch with 10 points.
Breaks Tie Standing
The contest breaks the Michigan-
Ohio State tie for the sixth place in
the Conference standing, and gives it

to Michigan. It also evens Michigan's
old rivalry with the Buckeye state
team, the latter having taken the long
end of the figure in last year's con-

Washington
Commemorating the birth of one
of the greatest exponents of democ-
racy that the world has ever seen,
the University has. suspended all
classes for the day, while prac-
tically every nation on the globe will
cease its business today to pay re-
spect to the father of the United
States-George Washington.
Especially fitted to the times is the
celebration of the event, is the opin-
ion of the thinking world, for having
watched the colonies of America be-
come a league to enforce respect and
co-operation together with democracy

"irst In Peace!"
among them, Washington is to be
taken as an example for the modeling
of the world league to enforce peace,
according to authorities.
It is the 177th anniversary of the
greatest American's birth, and is be-
ing celebrated over the United States,
his country, with the deepest and sin-
cerest of respect for the great man.
The University students and the cit-
izens of Ann Arbor are doing their
share in paying respect to the peer
of democrats by varied celebrations.
Dances, dinners, and other forms of
enjoyment are scheduled for the day.

LIEUT. EATON, '19, RETURNS
AFTER MONTHS IN FOE PRISON
Former Student Captured When
Forced to Land Behind Enemy
Lines
Lieut. Paul K. Eaton, '19, who en-
listed in the air service in the sum-
mer of 1917, and spent seven months
in German prison camps after his,
capture in the spring of this last
year, was given a tremendous wel-
come at his home in Jackson this
week.
In an observation party of nine
American-manned planes in France
he became separated by the attacking
Hun aviators. The enemy fire struck
and damaged his engine, and he was
forced to land behind the German
lines. Wounded by shell fire, he re-
mained in a shell crater until discov-
ered by a searching party.
Then followed seven months of
prison life, experiences that Lieuten-
ant Eaton says little about because
of the thoughts of suffering and pri-
vation that the telling suggest. Food
and medical care were entirely inade-
quate to the needs of a soldier in
good health, and, weakened by the
wound, he would have never seen the
home folks but for the aid and food
obtained from a fellow prisoner in the
British forces.
His return to Jackson followed a
period of convalescence in a New
York hospital. Lieutenant Eaton ap-
pears in excellent health, the effects
of the prisons have disappeared.
