Gen WrangeI explained the gratifi-
cation he felt over the note sent 10
italy by the United States govern
ment relative to the Russian situa-
ton. He asserted his forces on all
fronts are well equipped and that the

able to assist in the struggle against

Gen. WrangeI, who leaves tomor-

us to send expeditions into the eau
casus and Kuban regions to assist IN
throwing off the tyranny Of the Boil
sheviki," he said.

1T was very gratifying to me per-
sonally, and, am sure, to all right
minded Russians that the United
States should thus officially explain
its disapproval Of the murder and
rapine committed by a group OF des-
perates which IS trying to rob the
Russian people Of all liberty. This
war must continue until Russians are
free TO organize a government ex-
pressing the popular will
Economic Future.
Asked as to the economic future Of

Control Of some surplus grain al

troll the kuban and Don territories,
Russia,s richest grain sections, we
