Expect New Developments
In the Russian Situation

Washington, July 15.-Oficial and
automatic circles today were expec-
tant OF new and important deyelop-
ments in the Russian situation. They
also were hopeful that announcement
OF the personnel of the proposed Amer
ican economic commission to Russia
would shortly be Forthcoming. They
passed this expectation on the fact that
tne exchanges between the allied cap
itals and Washington seem to have
ended for the present. 1t now is known
that the president has complete infor
nation before him as to the views of
all OF the allies and also as to the
latest developments in Russia itself.
Latest information reaching here to-
day as to conditions in Russia are
more or less contradictory. Russia n
embassy reports indicated that the
Czecho- Slovak movement in southern
Russia has been checked, but old ad-
vices say that II is so formidable that
the soviet government is about to re-
move FROM Moscow to Muron and that
there have been widespread mutines
among the bolshevik troops.
