London, May 29.-Hostilities be-
tween the Russians and Japanese in
Siberia ceased on May 18th, according
to Il Reuter- dispatch from Vladivos-
tok. The dispatch also reports the ar
rival of the Russo-Japanese armlstice
commission at Khabarovsk.
The Bolsheviki are advancing in the
Kiev region, and are engaged in fight
ing on the second fortified line of the
Poles northeast of that city, it is an
nounced in official statement by the
soviet government, received by wire
less from Moscow.
The statement says the fighting
line runs ten miles north of Brovari
village. This village lies about ten
miles directly east of Kiev.
Hard fighting on other sections of
the front, to the north of the Kiev
region, is indicated by the COM
munique, which says:
'In the Shlobin-Mozir sector, in the
vicinity of the mouth of the Beresina,
we flung the enemy back across the
river.
''In the direction of Molodetchno our
troops, making an energetic rush, occu-
pied a number of villages from thirty

NJ. Krassin will propose, says the
newspaper, to put ingots of Russian
gold, stamped with the seal of the old
Russian government, on the English
market. The Times adds:
by receiving Russian gold stolen
by the soviet we would be virtually
recognizing the soviet government. 1t
is impossible to d~isassociate the two
ideas of trade relations and official
recognition"
On the other hand, the head of a
prominent Russian trading agency,
who has been closely in touch with the
negotiations between Great Britain and
Russia regarding the r%eopening of
trade, said today:
II can say positively that NJ. Kras-
