THE HAGUE. July IS (delayed) The
Koeln!sche ZeitunO says the counter rev.
olutlonary forces In Russia are increas-
ing. The Soviet Governments power is
steadily crumbling. True, rapid inter-
vention by the latter succeeded in over
throwing the social revolutionary rising
occasioned by the assa ss!natlon Of
Count Won Mirbach. These social revo-
mtionaries are the most dangerous do
mestc political adversaries OF the Soviet
Government. which defeated them in
bloody street fights In Moscow.
The rising at Jaroslav also appears
to have been completely suppressed.
This was more dangerous. as the capital
OF this Government is situated north OF
Moscow. OH the Volga, and is a stopping
place on the important railway leading
from Moscow to Archangel. Russia's s
present rulers chiei enemy is starva-
ton, which, still undefeated. scarcely
ever can be defeated. and Is sorely try
ing the north Russian provinces. so poor
in grain.
All measures taken by the Moscow
Government against increasing starva-
tion proved ineffective. Its reQuisition
detachments were received by peasants
armed to the teeth who offered bloody
resistance. The peasants frequently
surrounded their villages with trenches
and with machine guns and even artil-
leTy. The Koelnische Zeituno's article
emphasizes the untrustworthiness of the
Bolshevik troops. The article evidently
was inspired. with the object. appa-
rently, of preparing the German public
for unwelcome developments.

The whole object Of the desperate stand
the Germans have been making to pre-
vent further inroads against their right
flank Is to save the high ground south
and east OF Scissors.
Buzancy is four miles south OF Sos-
sons. and beyond that village the ground
rises for half mile. then sinks into
chain OF gul!ies eleven miles long
and which form tine valley Of the Crise,
Between the valley 70 the Crise and
the Nesie stretches a high. level plateau
twelve miles long. which extends from
Scissors toward Fere-enTardenois.
This watershed is the highest ground in
the whole salient, which accounts for
the German desire TO retain II.
The Germans do not want to fall back
TO the Aisne unless they are compelled
to do SO. They are holding on to the
Vesle. Ourcq and Crise plateau like grim
death. and that lis the whole meaning OF
the present battle and the explanation
