Directions.

perative.

Helsigforl, April 2S.-A national
ASSEMBLY has been formed at Olonetz
11O miles northeast of Petrograd,
where the Firms have driven out the
bolsheviki. The town was captured,
according to reports by volunteer
troops.
kolehak's Army Advances
Paris, April 2S.-Admiral Kolchak's S
troops have advanced along the
southern branch of the trans -Sib-
eria railroad in eastern European
Russia to Kinel. only 40 miles east
of Samara, according to dispatches
received by the Russian commission
ers in Paris.
A slower advance is also being
made along the northern branch of
the trans Siberian, where the anti
bolshevik forces have taken Galzov,
east of vitaka. A third column is
moving westward midway between
these two forces and into the Volga
and with the disappearance of the
ice, which is now breaking up, should
afford easy transportation to Sim
birsk, which is apparently the des-
tination of the central column.
Phince Lvoff and other members
Of the Russian commission here be-
lieve the movement westward will
be rapid as spring advances and they
expect that thelower Volga valley
will soon be under the control of
the Kolchak government 1t is also
hoped the Omsk forces will soon cap
ture Viatka. thus making it impera-
tive that the bolshevik withdraw
from the Archangel section as the
railway running north from Vitaka
reaches the Dvina at Kotlas and
would make communication easy be-
tween the allied forces in northern
Russia and those of the Omsk gov
ernment. @
Admiral kolchak's troops in all,
three columns are Russians, all
Czecho-Slovak and allied forces hay
ing remained in SIBERIA. Their ex-
cellent showing had attracted rnuch
attention in peace conference circles
and is assisting the movement in
augurated some time ago for the
recognition of the Omsk government
bv the entente powers and the
United States.
Stockholm, April 2S.-An anarch-
list republic has been proclaimed at
Ivandstovoznesenck, northeast of
Moscow. according to advices reach
ing here today. ENJOYS of the an
archist republic sent to Jaroslav were
killed by the soviet authorities there,
whereupon workers at Jaroslav killed
half of the members of the soviet
council.
The, capture of Olonetz by forces
opposed to the balsheviki, may have
an important effect upon the allied
campaign along the Murmansk rail-
way through it, on the situation In
the Archangel region.
Fer several weeks allied forces
commanded by Gen. Maynard have
been pressing southward along the
Murmansk railway, and were last
reported approaching Povienetz at
the northern end of Lake omega.
From Povienetz the Murmansk rail-
way swings westward and before 1t
reaches the southern edge of Lake
Ladoga 1t becomes within a few
miles of Olonetz.
A Stockholm report Sunday said
revolt had broken out in OlonetZ
and it is possible the bolshevik force
facing Gen. Maynard may be cut off
if the anti -bolshevik advance from
Oionetz. If the Murmansk railway
line can be cleared as far south as
Olonetz, the allies will be in posi-
ton to outflank the bolshevik south
of Archangel. who also are threat
ened by the Siberian advance in the
Viatka region.
