These officers are working, part of

GERS and soldiers alike are clamoring
for tanks, which had been promised
them by the allies, and with the help
of which they express confidence they
could reach Petrograd speedily.

now have to be kept on the front
lines by threatening them with their
own machine-gun fire. Scurvy is said
to be prevalent among them, owing to
the scarcity of fresh vegeta bles. The
bolsheviki have armored cars and SUI
perior artillery at their command, but
numerous dissensions among them,
noted daily, are cited as indicating
poor morale.
There is sufficient American food
available in the Gulf of Finland to
supply Petrograd- and it's suburbs for
three months, but the lack of CO.

northern Russian army and to the
Esthonians operating in conjunction
