British Public Learns That Ser
ious Situation Exists On
Two Russian Fronts.
RED DANGER IS REAL
Sir Ernest ~ShackIeton, Who Has Just
Returned From Archangel and
Thurman, Says Reinforce
ments Must BE Sent.

London, April 5.-For the first time
the curtain has been raised for the
British public on the position of the
Allied armies in Northern Russia.
The serious situation in the Muir
mansk region and the attempt by the
Bolsheviki TO drive the Allied troops
on the Archangel front into the sea
are the cause of much anxiety. The
London papers carried startling head
lines of which The British Army M
periled" was typical.
The public bought the papers eager
ly, having no idea which army was re-
ferred to. Some of the papers de-
clared that another Kut surrender or
Khartum tragedy threatened.
Sir Ernest ShackletQn, director Of
equipment and transportation of the
Northern Russian EXpeditiOnary force,
has just returned from Thurman and
Archangel. He declares that both
fronts are in danger and that the Boil
shevist danger is a very real one, be-
cause the Entente forces are outnum-
numbered by disciplined. well armed
and we'll equipped troops in close
touch with the Allies extended, but
by no means strong front.

we must avoid the possibility of
another Khartoum," says Sir Ernest.
He urges the need of sending re-en-
forcements Immediately. These, he
says, can reach Murmausk from Eng
land in less than a week.
Failure of the offensive in the diree-
ton of Tukkum, iH C0urland, west OF
Riga, is admitted by the Russian soviet
government in a wireless message re-
ceived here today.
The message adds that fighting is in
progress in the direction of Mitau,
southwest of Riga, and in the region
of Pskoy, northeast of Riga.
Dispatches from Omsk report that
during the last few days the Bolshe-
Wiki have been retiring on the Oren-
burg front so rapidly that the Siber-
ian armies in pursuit are unable to
keep in touch. . Bolshevik assertions
continue. AS an example, so miles
south of Ufa a whole regiment of Boil
shevik cavalry joined Kolchak's force
and turned their weapons upon their
