Russians Ask for
HeIp From Allies

LONDON. Dec. IL. -- Russian off.
cials In London, who are establishing
direct communication with General
kaledines and other leaders Of dem
ocratic organizations In Russia, de-
eiared to the Associated Press today
that the movement 10 overthrow the
Bolsheviki is supported not only by the
Cossacks, but by almost all the leaders
OF the pthef Dasties, These leaders, it
was said. are confident they will he
able to make short shin Of the Boi-
sheviki.
II IL SAID thst thousands Of Co.'S
sacks already have left the fighting
front and rallied to Kalrdines support
and II Is expected he will soon have
the entire force OF 10000 Cossaeks at
his disposal.
The officials In London assert that
the plans embrace the soiidification OF
the loyal fighting forces, the completes
elimination OF the Bolsheviki osGanl-
rations in the cities and towns OF
Southern Russia. the re-establishment
of order, the reorganization Of sup
plies and the establishment Of new
lighting front 10 protect the rich Rus
sian grsnaries and coal and mineral
fields from the Germans.
Hard % Il may b for Russla
10 carry on In the face Of The trs-
mAndous sacrifess made at The ~
ginning Of the wat and The paTsiy-
sis Of the army under the Boishevi-
h and German propaganda, the Of
ficials asserted that RussiAn will
carry on Til the time whom peace
10 made In common with the Al
lies.
The question OF allied support, which
the officials declare is necessary IL
Kaledines and the other forces loyal
10 Russia and the allies are to be suc-
cessful, is one on which much stress
must be laid, especially the question OF
the eventual sending OF an American
sxpeditionary army to cooperate with
the forces holding the new front. II Is
pointed out that this would not be IN
the nature OF an American interference
in Russian internal affairs, but SINH
lar to American and British troops
helping France.
The fact that the Germans them
selves cannot make up their minds re-
garding the Bolsheviki peace, meeting
the approval OF the Russian people, is
shown, It is said, by the report Of a
meeting held a, German Eastern head
quarters early this morning
