By Review Leased Wire,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The situa-
ton in the Archangel district is re-
garded by militry officers in north
ern Russia as extremely critical.
AdVices to the war department to-
day made no reference to an appeal
for reinforcements. but it was said
here that inaSmuch as this was a mat
ter for determination by the supreme
war council at Paris, more complete
report had been sent to that body,
possibly with a request for additional
support. Reports that the bolsheviki
armies were using gas shells was TAX
en- here by some officers to mean
that this equipment had been supplied
through German sources, notwith-
standing the terms of the armistice
and if this was established as a fact
it was intimated that drastic action
against the Germans would be taken
by Marshal Foch.
Available figures obtained by war
department officials show that the
British force in the region of the north
is approximately 5000, American $500,
French 1900, loyal Russians under Bri.
tish officers 1900 and 1000 other sob
diers OF one of the smaller allied
countries The exact disposition of
these forces is not known officially
