Russia. still looked upon as an unfortunate friend of her victorious former allies In spite of ttie Bolsheviki, lias upon her soil all that remains of the world war. Allied and American troop;, in conjunction conjunc-tion with the Czeoho-Slovak army and the forces of the all -Russian provisional government at Omsk, are operating in Siberia and northern Russia against .the German-con trolled Bolsheviki. who have heen denounced before the world by the American fjuvernmeii as virtual outlaws. Allied troops tirst went into Russia to prevent the stores of munitions at Vladivostok Vladi-vostok and Murma nsk from falling into the hands of the Germans, but later an agreement was readied between the entente en-tente and American governments to render ren-der military and other assistance to the Czech 0-Slovak forces In Siberia. At about the same time a joint expedition went into northern Russia to prevent the Germans Ger-mans getting control there. Only recently the all-Russian provisional provi-sional government asked the allies and America, through President Wilson, for further and immediate assistance in overcoming over-coming the Bolsheviki and rehabilitating the Russian nation. So far as has heen announced, no action has been taken on the appeal. Both here and in the allied capitals it is hoped that the removal of German influence in-fluence and support will cause a speedy collapse of the Bol'Shovik regime and thus hasten the Vime when a stable government govern-ment with which the associated nations may deal will come into power.' |
