LONDON. Sept. l9.-Sincc the recent
official denial that any Russian troopsi
had passed through English territory
for France, efforts have been made TO
ascertain the source OF persistent re-
ports that q Russian army had been
moved from ArchanGcl TO the Scottish
coast and thence across the channel.
according TO a high official these re-
ports probably started from the fact
that a number OF Russian officers, de-
tailed for staff and observation duty
with the French and English armies
passed through England accompanied
by their ordcrlics and servants. all in
uniforms. 1t is believed villagers in
Scotland caught sight of these and
started the report of an extensive Rus
