JERRY ON THE JOB LITTLE JIMMY GOOD MORNING; dtMMY » ‘ Reverting again to war statistics, Mr. Lloyd George said the Dominions contributed a million men. India’s response was great.

The only other way of getting in was by Archangel and Murmansk and Vladivostock on the east. Russia was kept alive by injections through Vladivostock and Archangel.
