AECHANGEL, Thursday, April 10. (By the Associated Press.)

' WASJj'iXGTOX. April 11. Arrival of : the Ami-riiMM cruisers Galveston and . Chester at Murmansk, reported today in '" an Associate-) Fresp riipp.itch. Is expect- - e-ti by officials lo relieve the situation among1 American truopc in the Archan-pei Archan-pei region, a company of which ten days ago refused to go to the front until argu- c ments were presented by their officers. The vessels carried Brigadier-General W. I. Richardson, who is to assume eom- V mand of the American, forces, arid two companies of railway engineers. General Richardson and the engineers were or- v derod to Murmansk at the time it waa decided to withdraw the entire allied ;'; force in nortliern Russia, and their ar-rival ar-rival is expected to reassure the Ameri-can Ameri-can troops and prevent any spread of the mutiny. Xo further information as to the mu-: mu-: tiny was issued today by the war department. de-partment. It requires some days for cables to reach Archangel and. so far as - ct-uld be learned, the department had no , additional advices. The specific pur- pose in sending the two additional cora- panics of American railway engineers, as explained by Secretary Baker to the V mil itary committees of congress last V February, was to keep open- the railroad ; from Murmansk south to a point near - the "White sea. This lino, he said, was ; regarded as vital by the British for the movement of supplies or reinforcements. . Ships to Remain. : Arrival of the two American cruisers - at .Murmansk increases the American I " naval ton e there to three vessels. The gunboat Yankton was already on duty in tbse waters. There has "been some talk that tne Yankton wouJd.be relieved. probably by the Galveston, since the "hestf-r lias already been assigned to re- turn to the United States.- but it appears more probable that all three ships will remain, supolenn-iue 1 by Kagle boats and submarine chasers. Thesf vessels, with whatever forces the British are sending. '- v.-ltt act as a screen fr.r the withdrawal .; of the entire expedition as soon as woat her permits. In the meantime the '.additional British t ronps being snt f..r-,.; f..r-,.; ward will be available. as Secret a ry Baker has pointed out. for reinforcements j. if.-t-hey are ndd. ; S"aval officials have never admitted, however, that if was for the. purpose "f J.- proceeding to Russian waters that the ' Galveston -'.ailed to Knglund.

Additional reports that would disclose i the extent to which . the unrest has spread through the entire command were awaited with considerable anxiety. It was recognized by officers that the situation of the American forces in nort hern Russia was part ionla rly unpleasant, un-pleasant, " Weather conditions are trying because of ( the extreme cold; there is little of the dash about the. work there that characterized the war in France, and reports from home tell of the return of the army to civil life and of recep-tions, recep-tions, parados and celebrations of .victory. .vic-tory. The whole picture is one well calculated, cal-culated, it is said, to make the troops homesick and easy victims of Bolshevik J arguments ur similar agitation in their own ranks. Archangel Men Draftees. The units at A rchangel are not seasoned sea-soned regular" soldiers. Thoy are selective select-ive service men. but in the past they have snown a very high quality of morale in facing the unpleasant .work before them so long without openly manifested discontent. Even now, officers argued, the mutinous company probably would show an immediate change of heart if a general attack on the Bolshevik forces which aro harassing the command was undertaken. No uneasiness is felt concerning the American contingent hi Siberia, which is largely composed of old-time regular units from the Philippines.
