In upon the strongholds Of the soviet
regime.
Bolshevik armies estimated at be
tween 100000 and 100000 in strength
are fighting in the last ditch, Ap
parently they are crumbling swiftly.
The fighting is proceeding on a
scale of distances unprecedented in
history. AT two points the anti-soviet
forces are deeply penetrating the Dol.

circle of armies is enclosing all Of
western Russia and gradually draw

iDenilsen is pushing a huge wedge in
the plains of southwestern Russia.

miles to the north General Yuden-

Along hundreds of miles of other
fronts various armies are advancing
on the other side Of the circle. Seven
hundred to a thousand miles away
Admiral Kolchak's Siberian armies
have recovered from recent bolshevik
blows and have renewed their ad-
vance.
Conflicting interests and lack Of
news make the situation most OBJ
scure. but an expert OF the war office
supplied the United Press with the
general outline today. These armies
are in the field:
The north Russian army, holding
the Murman and Arcnangel regions
and operating on fronts or approx

10000 and $4,000 men. With the
past three days it has been advanc-
ing along the Vologda railway to the
south.
Further south the Finnish army is
astride Lake Ladoga on a front OF
from fifty to seventy-six miles, forty
miles north of Petrograd Owing to
conflicting interests it is standing
still, although officials here believe
the Films are capable OF capturing
Petrograd with some aid.
To the east of Petrograd, from the
gulf of Finland to the Dwina river,
is General Yudenitch's group, styled
the northwestern government. Yude-
nitch's army, composed of Russians,
Esthonians, Let's and Lithuanians,
finds its movements complicated by
Colonel Bermondt's German-Russia
force, operating in the rear against
the Let's and Esthonians.
: Strangely enough, Bermondt claims
he also wishes to fight the bolsheviki.
but the Let's and Esthonians and
the allies prevent him from getting
at them.
Still further south, the Lithuanians
and Poles are holding couple of
hundred miles of front along the
Dwina river and astride the Pripet
valley. where the Poles are advanc-
ing slightly.
On the Poles right is General Pet
ura's Ukranian army. The situation
there is uncertain owing to Petlura's

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Defeat OF
the Shantung amendment means re
lection OF all textual amendments to
the peace treaty, according to admin
istration senators today.
+ Republican votes against the
amendment they pointed out were al.
most entirely on the ground that It is
inexpedient at this late time to at
tempt to change the text of a pact
which has been agreed to by three OF
the great allied powers. The purpose
of the Shantung amendment was ap.
proved by practically all republicans
voting against it and this, administra-
ton senator's, explained, shows clearly
that the rejection of the amendment
was largely vote against the send.

gotiated. A similar position will be
taken on the Johnson amendment, they
declared
Fourteen republicans voted against
the Lodge amendment while three

55 to S5 was close to predictions of
democratic leaders.
Reading of the treaty continued
today. The Johnson amendment to
give the United States six votes in
the league assembly comes next.
President Informed.
: WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-An in
creasing interest in affairs of state
is being manifested by President
Wilson, it was learned at the white
house today. He is keenly concerned
with the next treaty clash in the SEN
ate Senator Hiram Johnsons
amendment to equalize the vote of
the United States and the British
empire in the league of nations
assembly. Wilson has been informed
of the defeat Of the Shantung amend
ment. Early Information from the
executive mansion today was that
the president was still asleep and
that he had rested fairly well during
the night.
The prohibition enforcement bill,
one Of the important measures which
has been passed by congress and is
now before Wilson for his signature,
has been sent to the attorney gen.
eral for an opinion.
House Would Testify.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Colonel E.
M. House, through a personal repre-
sentative today, informed Chairman
Lodge, Of the senate foreign relations
committee, of his willingness to testify
before the committee regarding peace
negotiations at Paris.
Senator Lodge stated he does not
know whether Col. House will be
called. The matter is to be decided
by the committee, Lodge explained.
Colonel Houses willingness to ap-
pear was made known to Lodge by
DR.. Mclean, a personal representa-
tive who explained, however, that
owing to the coloneps illness it would
be some time before he could come
before the committee.
