Back From Far Siberia
Lt. R.W. Magete, son of Mr. and Mrs. L.W. Magette of this city,
wired his parents that he is at Camp Merritt, having landed in New York. He,
with a party of 750 picked engineers composed of Americans and British, were
sent last spring to Siberia to help get the Americans from the Archangel front.
They found that the Bolsheviki had burned the bridges and torn up the railroad
track, and it was their duty to connect up with our command.
The ice was just beginning to break on the Archangel sector
where there was nothing but snow and ice to be seen. A shop that had been
ice-bound for six months was just getting away.
