NORTHWEST FORCE

OUT OF ESTHONIA

Dorpat, Thursday, Dec. 11.-O-
ficials OF the Northwestern Rus
sian government. according to C. G..
Lianozow, premier, will withdraw
from Esthonia Immediately. NJ.
Lianozow made the statement IN
reply to q communication from the
Esthonian premier to the effect
that the presence of the north
western government had created
difficulties in Esthonia, which was
compelled thereby to conduct an
active war against the bolshevih
while desiring to take only de-
fensive action.
The announcement says the cab
met finds 1t necessary to say that
publication at this time Of the rea-
sons leading to the shipwreck oi
all the hopes Of the Northwestern
Russian government and the army
ON the northwestern front would
be improper and not in the interest
OF the common Russian cause"
The effect of the decision ol
the army recently commanded by
General Yudenitch Is not clear, as
that officer recently severed con
nections with the government by
resigning from the war ministry
Probably therefore, it will be un.
necessary for him to leave Estho'
mia, as the Esthonians assert the
Yudenitch army no longer exists
