British Help Russians.

Washington, July 1S.-Britished ar
mored motor detachments are taking
part in the Russian offensive in Cali
cia, according to semi-official in
formation received today from Petro-
grad by the Russian embassy here.
This is the first mention of the pres
ence of British forces in Russia. The
armored cars are cooperating effec-
lively with a Belgian detachment sent
there soon after the war began.
No mention is made of the number
or the date of arrival Of the British
detachments.
The resignation of the four minis
ters of the cabinet as a result of the
Ukraine situation was officially ex-
planned at the embassy today as not
at all unexpected and as not inter-
fering in any way with the major
questions of the Russian military
offensive and the reconstruction of the
Russian governmental system.
