would not withdraw permanently from

From a military standpoint Russia

sands OF Turks fighting on the South
ern Russia front for operation against
the British.
That the Entente and the United
States are now passing through the
most critical period Of the war thus far
Is officially admitted. Between the Rus

OF optimism here has cracked. II is
plainly evident that there Is gravest
concern over the success with which
