General Ironside. commander-in-ch
of the North Russian forces, was to
the effect that Archangel was to be
made a base for the Siberian army,
through an immediate offensive for
Kotlass, on the river Dvina. Kotlass
is the railhead for the line running to
Viatka, on the Trans Siberian railway
a distance of approximately $50 miles
from the position at that time of Ko1-
chak's advanced posts, since then
driven back many miles eastward
In this campaign, said General IRON
side, the British troops were to act
as a reserve, while the Russians went
ahead.
The offensive began late in June,
but so far has advanced only few
miles Kotlass is still more than a
hundred miles from the Russian and
British positions on the Dvina, which
are, in fact, only at about the same
point where the Americans were es-
tablished last autum before the
strong Bolsheviki offensive caused
them to withdraw during the winter.
Although compared with last sum-
mer's pitifully small force the present
British and Russian command is well
equipped, it is still far below the
strength of the Bolsheviki in both
numbers and artillery. The British
gunboats and monitors, of which a
large flotilla was sent for operations
on the Dvina and Vaga rivers, have
for the most part proved useless be-
cause of the low water.
Even the British volunteers have
been informed that they will be with
drawn from North Russia before an
other winter sets in. All Americans
and French troops are now off the
Archangel front, and the newly train
ed Russian troops, most of whom
were secured by draft, are limited in
the territory being sparsely
settled They are, however, well
equipped.
At the present time the North Rus
,ian government, which has establish
I'd, under the direction of General
strong" policy to hold
Up the discipline in the army and
among the civilian population, is de-
ermined to carry on the war against
he Bolsheviki to the finish and the
people apear anxious to cooperate.
Late in July Major General Iron
ide announced to the British gov
that the Russian troops in
he Omega district, about 100 miles
vest of the Dvina river, had mutinied
nd handed over the Omega front and
he town of Omega, to the Bolshevilki.
10 British troops were on the Omega
ront.

The Peace
Table and After
NO.
The Problem of Russia

Written for and Approved by the war
Committee of the Union League Club or
ChicaGo.) .
Russia, that great enigma of the
war, likewise presents probably the
greatest of the peace problems.
Is the Russian experiment In self
government a failure? Have the ac-
lions of the Russian people proven
that the principle of self-determina-
ton cannot safely be applied: Should
Russia be coerced or helped back into
a position where she can again become
one of the greatest in the family OF
nations, or should she be split up into
numerous Independent states?
All of these are questions which,
considering the insufficient informa-
ton at hand on which to base our con.
clusions, permit of wide differences Of
opinion. But one thing is certain.
RUSSIA MUST NOT REMAIN UN-
DER THE CONTROL OF GERMANY
IN A POLITICAL. MILITARY OR
ECONOMIC SENSE. ......
Germans Strong in Russia.
The word "remain" Is used advised
ly. The greater part of Russia was.
at the time the war came to its dra-
matte close. under the heel Of Ger
many. Whole districts, such as Fin
land. the Baltic provinces, Russian
Poland and the Ukraine We're under d.
rect German control. German and
Austrian prisoners of war were fight
ing against the allies and the CZecho-
Slovaks in Siberia.
The armistice terms which the Ger
mans were forced to sign provided
that the treaty Of Brest-Litovsk and
the supplementary treaties by which
Russia was despoiled should be abro-
gated. They likewise originally pro-
vfded that all invaded territory on the
east front as well as that. on the west
should be evacuated within IA days.
This was the first provision Of the
armistice terms at which the Ger
man delegates protested. They asked
for more time and they got it. The
armistice as finally signed provided
that the east front territory should be
evacuation at some indefinite time to
be decided on later by the allies.
Want to Keep Control.
The significance OF this may be
merely that the disorder in Russia was
so great that the allies thought Ger
man control for time was better than
none. Again it Is possible-even
highly probable-that the German del-e
egates hoped by this means to let Ger
man occupation drag on into the pc
riod Of peace negotiations. thinking
thereby to retain something of what
they have gained from Russia.
Knowing as we do that Germany
must depend upon outside territory
for raw materials and markets for her
manufactured wares we may well look
with suspicion on delay in the evacua-
ton of the Russian provinces. If they
need policing the allies should pro-
coed to police them at the earliest pos
sible moment-and police them with
out any German assistance.
What the Germans Held.
In the summer Of 1918 when the
German armies were laundering on
toward Paris and the kaiser and his
Austrian ally were counting on speedy
victory the portions of the former
Russian empire which had come under
direct Teutonic control, with their
area and populations, were:
