Small International Force on
Attic and White Seas Has
Been Reinforced.
SOVIET POWER WAVES
Oposit:on to the eoIsheviki Govern
mert Has Strengthened Its Posi-
tions at No Less Than Three
Widely Separated Points.

Washington, July 1.-THE situa-
ton in Russia and Siberia is daily
presenting new phases, although
greatly overshadowed by the tire.
mendous developments on the West
ern front.
At no less than three widely sep
arated points have the opposition
to the Soviet government greatly
strengthened their positions, thus
heavily taxing the inadequate military
machine Of the Bolsheviki.
On the shores of the Attic and
White seas the small International Al
lied force which has been holding the
railroad terminus at Kola and MUIR
mansk has been considerably rein
forced and is advancing southwark
along the railroad towards Vologda
and Moscow. y
1t is admitted officially that there
are some American sailors and ma
rines in the neighborhood Of Kola,
but it is not known that they are par
ticipating in this southwark movement
and it is doubted whether, in the alb.
sence of special instructions they
would do so, unless it we're necessary
as a defensive measure. ...
Firms Change Heart.
Reports from reliable sources in
Sweden indicate surprising change
of sentiment among the Finnish people
toward their German-controlled gov
eminent, making it impossible for that
government to raise any volunteer
troops to attack the Allied force on the
line of the Kola-Moscow railroad.
This has greatly relieved the minds of
officials, who realize that this rail-
road could be held only by very
large force If attacked from Finland.
Cutting off communication in that way
would greatly endanger the position of
the Allied forces on the Murmansk
coast when winter comes.
With Finland practically neutral,
and the local population in the Muir
mansk country coming to the aid of
the Allied forces, 1t is believed that
the Allies now are reasonably sure Of
being able to maintain q channel of
communication with Central Russia
and Siberia against any German at
tack. ]5 81
Lenine Protest Ignored. ssa
The protest Of the Lenine govern
ment against the Allies operation in
the North is believed to have been a
mere formality, made possibly to sat
isfy the Germans, who are endeavor-
ing to control the Bolsheviki govern
ment., Officials say it will not be en-
tertained because the Allies do not
recognize the Bolsheviki as the real
government of Russia and persist in
regarding that nation as still in the
war on the side of the Allies, regard

Litovsk.

German Critics Say Force 10 Small
and Unframed.
Amsterdam, July 16.-The German
press continues its campaign of be.
lifting the American military effort on
the western front.
The military correspondent of the
Lokal Anzeiger keeps step with the
other experts and expresses disbelief
in the statement that more than 1,000.-
900 American soldiers are in France.
However, he confesses to great admir-.
alton for the personal qualities of the
American soldier, though he considers
they lack discipline. as ..
General Kobe, the military critic of
the Germania, says that at the most
there are 100000 Americans, including
working squads, at the front. ~
