the exercise of every effort to protect

road from Moscow TO Nologda.
Consequently news received to-day
from Ambassador Francis that the
Rolshevik government at Moscow had
brought to that capital under arrest the
civil members of the local duma at
Archangel, another Arctic port not far
from kola. was a matter of grave con-
Germ. AS this news was delayed ten
coys in reaching Washington. II was
realized that many things may have
happened in the interim TO change the
situation. but otherwise there was good
reason to regard this action by the
Moscow government as distinctly UNI
friendly toward the entente powers and
as taken because the local authorities
at Archangel had not resented the
landing there OF an international naval
force TO protect the military supplies.
