ALLIED TROOPS
UNDER FIRE OF
SOVIET'S GUNS
Withdraw in Archangel Sec
tor; Bolsheviks Blow Up
Railway Tunnel

Amsterdam, Aug. 20.-It is offici-
ally reported from Vologda, says the
correspondent at Moscow, of the
Rheinische Westfaelische Zeitung, of
Essen, that the entente allied troops
in the Archangel sector of North
western Russia have withdrawn out
side the range of the Bolshevik ar
tillery.
Soviet troops are reported to have
blown up the Baikal tunnel of the
trans-Siberian railway.
VIadiyostok, Aug. 20.-General
Dieterichs, the commander of the
Czecho- -Slovak forces, in pointing out
to-day the great odds his troops arc
facing, estimated the enemy strength
at 10000 men, with seventy guns and
two hundred machine guns. The
status of the Czecho-Slovaks in
Transbaikalia is unknown, he said,
but it certainly must be desperate.
To attain the object sought by the
entente allied governments. sub
stantial force must be sent to the
Manchurian front.
Doctor Yaromir Spacek, mem
Der of the Czecho-Slovak National
Council, has left for Washington to
acquaint Professor I. G. Masaryk,
the president of the council. with
the situation of the Czecho-Slovaks.
DR.. Spacck told the correspondent
that the Czecho-Slovaks will abide
by the decision of Professor Masaryk
as to whether they shall proceed to
France, which is their ambition. or
STAY in Russia to fight the enemy,
if given adequate support.
Opinion on all sides appears to be
that the allied governments are un-
derestimating the magnitude of the
task of liberating the Czecho-SloVaks
and do not realize the necessity of
actual warfare against superior num-
bers.
In the absence of artillery, the
British have equipped two gondolas
with guns from a cruiser and sent
them to the Ussuri front.
