eastern front that will be a serious
menace, at least, to the Germans, is
being considered by officials here it
became known in connection with
the making public of the full text
of the proclamation Of the supreme
government Of the northern terri
tory. The signers Of the proclama-
ton, are with two exceptions, mem
bers of the constituent assembly
representing the provinces of Nov
gorod, Archangel, Vologda, Viatka,
kazan and Samara.
This chain represents people
strongly pro-ally in sentiment and
among the best elements Of the Rus
sian population.
That the men who comprise the
new Russian government expect aid
from the allies is shown in a proc
lamation by them which reads in
part:
1T (the new government knows
that the allied troops come not to
interfere with internal affairs and
their arrival is not against the de-
sires Of the local. population. There
fore the supreme government greets
the allied forces entering the north
to wage the contest against the
common enemy and summons the
entire population to greet them gladly
and assist by every possible means
Recent adVices show that the
Ukrainians, whose territory borders
that Of the Don Cossacls, are strong
ly antagonistic to the Teuton pow
ers. Allied troops are in the north
to an extent not exactly known to
the public.
To the south the British are
driving northward from
Mesopotamia. Allied troops are
landing at Vladivostok to render aid
to the Siberian forces. So it is
pointed out the prospect for an east
ern force that will seriously threaten
Germany and Austria is brighter
than it has been since the Russian
debacle.
The flight of Lenine and Trotzky,
reported in press dispatches, is re-
garded By officials Of the state de-
partment as significant of the weak
ening, if not, the utter loss Of power
by the Bolsheviki. The departure of |
the German embassy from Moscow
to Pskov shows according to Of |
1cials in touch with Russian affairs, |
that the Germans are afraid Of the |
overthrow of the Bolsheviki by some |
