BOLSHEV|STSHOLD
M0ST:OF UKRAINE
French Garrison Is Forced to
Withdraw From Odessa
by Sea.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 20.-virtually all OF
the Ukraine now is in the hands Of the
bolsheviki, according to advices reach
ing London today. In heavy fighting at
Nikoiaiev. northeast of Odessa. the boil
sheviki lost between 5000 and 5000 men;
but forced the French garrison, after
fierce fighting, to withdraw to Odessa
by sea. ~-~-
Farther east, the advices add. the boil:
sheviki have reached the Isthmus Of
Perekop, leading to the Crimea.
The bolsheviki apparently are en-
gagged in a strong effort to subdue
and to drive allied forces from that
region before spring. The Ukraine is
the granary of Russia, and Odessa.
before the war, was the greatest
grain shipping port in Russia. II the
bolshevfkf can control the great
agricultural region OF the Ukraine,
they might be able to relieve the
serious food shortage in Moscow and the
north.
Aided by .Ukrainian bolshevik
forces, troops of the Moscow govern
ment in the last three weeks. have
occupied Kiev and Zhitomir in the
center of the Ukraine, and driven the
from Kiev to Winnitza and thence to
Proskurov. in Podelia, forty miles
east of the border of Galicia.
Russian wireless messages received
in London Wednesday reported that
-bolshevik forces, after being re-
pulsed by the bolsl1eviki. were retir-
ing on Odessa. An official Greek re-
port from Saloniki said that Greek
troops had defeated the bolshevikf at
Kherson. northeast of Odessa and
about thirty miles south Of Nikolafev.
In the center OF the front between
Odessa and Riga the bolsheviki 1p-
parent1y have been giving ground. as
reports from Warsaw through Copen-
hagen say that the bolsheviki have
been forced to evatuate Pinsk by the
Poles In the resie'n about Riga Let.
tish forces during the last two weeks
have driven the bolsheviki steadily
eastward and now are at Mftau, about
thirty-fiye miles southwest OF. Riga. i,

seatchlight of Publicity in

Is Effective.

The Overman committee, which has
been Investigating propaganda, has
dealt the bolshevik propaganda in
this country q severe blow during
the progress of the investigation
through the. widespread publicity
that has been given to the activities
Of the "reda.,
The committee completed it's hear
ings last week, and will now work
upon it's report to Congress, and also
upon a bill seeking to put an end
to propaganda proposing revolu-
ton in ,tfie United States and the
overthrow of the government.
Increase in Activities.
, BY turning the. searchlight of pub
licity. upon this bolshevik propa-
ganda, however; the committee has
done much to halt 1t. Not since the
Investigation began has there been
held a bolshevik meeting in Wash
ington, such as were held immediate
ly preceding the investigation of the
Senate committee. Reports from
other cities Indicate. also. that there
has been a decrease in this propa-
ganda and Of meetings in support
Of the bolsheviki.
The Overman committee, so-called
because Senator Overman of North
Carolina is chairman, was first ap-
pointed to Investigate the activities
Of the liquor interests and of German
sympathizers in this country. 1t was
about to wind up its work and report
to- the Senate. when a resolution was
adopted by the Senate extending the
scope of the committees work to in
clude the bolshevik propaganda in the
