''Jugo-Slavs" means South Slavs.
The origin of the word as a political

Russia ana acclaimed as the central
point In their new route to the East /;
after the armistice the city was oc-
cupied by combined force Of French,
Greeks and Rumanians.
The Moscow Government has made
several efforts to capture ODESSA
1t saw In this city not only the great
est port In southern Russia, but the
strongest point Of control Of rich,
fertile region which would furnish
Moscow and Petrograd with a food
supply and the much needed coal
and mineral output for their stalled
factories and industries. The Boil
shevik army was opposed, though, by
two very active forces, the Ukraini-
ans and the Cossacks, who were able
10 halt them at the northern bounda-
ries of the territory assigned to
Ukraine These forces. however,
could not stop the new army that
Moscow sent TO the south. With this
opposition removed the Bolshevik
army was able to direct Its entire
strength against Odessa. In the latter
part Of March the situation was de-
clared serious, as the allied forces
were unequal to the double duty Of
defending the city and furnishing
food to the civilian population
The loss Of Odessa has no great
military significance. The feet that
the Allies have sent to the Black Sea
will practically make It a closed port.
The Soviet Government has not been
able to mako secure Its hold upon the
territory which Is tributary to the city
and It IL not likely to do % as long
as the opposition of the southern Cos
sacks and Ukrainians continues. The
abandonment Of Odessa releases an
army Of $4,000 men which can be
used to strengthen tho front in Ru-
mania and Poland. The effect Of the
evacuation Of Odessa is thus appar-
emily to bring western Europe to a
new realization Of it's peril and to
lead to the erection Of a new and
stronger barrier, extending from the
Baltic Sea to the Black Sea, against
the western progress Of Bolshevism.

The morale of this division is high

klometers but we have arbitrarily. as
