MOSCOW PROPOSAL
OPPOSED BY PEOPLE

AMSTERDAM. July ii-Simultaneous-
ly with establishment OF the White Sea
Republic, according TO advices from
Moscow, another State was created in
the north Of Russia under the name
OF the Wologdaczhe Republic. II com
prlses all of northern Russia from the
White Sea to the Asiatic frontier. The
Wologdaczhe Republic Is said to be In
sympathy with the aims OF the Entente
Allies.
(There has been no previous an
nouncement OF the establishment Of the
White Sea Republic. but 1t is quite
probable that the recent declaration OF
the population Of the Thurman coast
In favor OF the Allies and the arrest by
the Bolsheviki OF the local civil authorl-
ties at Archangel were connected with
the event. The White Sea Republic
is obviously formed out OF the old gov
ernment Of Archangel. stretching from
Finland to the Ural Mountains, and in
cluding the Kola peninsula. The Gov
ernment OF WOlogda or Vologda, for
which the Wologdaczhe Republic Is
named, lies southeast OF the goverD-
ment OF Archangel. IL Is the largest
government or province OF European
Russia, comprising together nearly 500.-
600 square miles, with a population,
however, Of only some 100000. The
capital Of Vologda is the city Of the
same name, where the American am
bassad0r has his headquarters.)
LONDON, July it.-Measures taken by
the Allies TO aid non-Bolshevik Rus
SLAMS on the Murman coast and pro-
tect the Murman railroad and the ice
free port Of KOla are summarized by
the Daily Express from Russian news
papers.
While the Bolsheviki opposed the
land OF Allied troops and even agreed
to trade the Murman coast to Finland,
the local population has decided TO join
the Allies.
The first Allied Intervention occurred
early in April, when Finnish White
Guards, assisted by Germans faced the
Red Guards at KEN. The Red Guards
were REINFORCED by an Anglo-French
detachment that had come up on an
armored train. The next Russian re-
port mentions the landing Of force OF
British marines TO cooperate In the
defense Of the coast. Defensive meas
ures were said to be under the leader
ship Of thFee men, a Russian, an Eng
lishman and a Frenchman.
TWO British and one French warship
and some British trawlers were In the
harbor Of Kola, In addition to a Rus
sian squadron A report from the COM
mittee Of the White Sea fleet TO the

COW, printed in a Rusisn paper, SAID
that Kemp, assumed 10 be Rear Ad-
miral Kemp, Of the British navy had
declared there was no aggressive de-
sign regarding the Murmansk region,
only a desire to help the Russian re-
public and protect the coast and the
railroad. He also offered to assist In
developing the fisheries.
The Bolsheviki government, however
made public a protest through the
Russian wireless on June 30. Leon
