Russia has eome to the aid of France and Great Britain in tbe great struggle on the Western front, sending a strong force of troops to fight. with the allies there. The Rug-. Isians disembarked at Marseilles at noon today, their arrival being noted by General Joffre in tbe order. pf the day the .French commander-in-chief citing their coming as another proof of Russia's devotion to a common cause of the Allies. The Russians are Celieved to have embarked for France from the! port of Archangle on the White Sea, the only port -through which . there - is free -communication between Russia and her allies in the west. It is con sidered probable that tlie transport carrying the troops made a ""ivide sweep out into-the Northern Atlan tic before heading for the Mediter ranean to avoid the submarine dan ger zone in the vicinity of the Brit ish Isles. In this connection it -is to be noted that word reached New . York today through private cable advices that Russia has closed the port of 'Arch angel to all except government traffiA This may indicate that other troo movements to the western, front are either; underway or in contemplation J Severar times during the war there have been reports that Russia was sending troops to the Franco-Belgian front, travellers even declaring, that detachments had been seen en route through Scotland and England.. No such troops have ever appeared on the western battle line, however. Ambassador Gerard, at Berlin, has received the. American note to Ger many, The Berlin dispatches report the arrival of the note, and said the ambassador expected to report to the foreign office this afternoon. French have aeain taken the offen sive in the Verdun battle and launch ed attacks against the 'German line on the right side of the Meuse. Par is declares the aggressive, move was successful, resulting in the capure of German trenches and the taking of several hundred prisoners. . . , -! This operation on the part of the French forces follows closely J the German move in a sew field :in the struggle for the fortress. This- took the form- of. a drive on the extreme right flank of the French forces .in this sector, three successiee attacks being delivered at Esparges, about 13 miles southeast of Verdun.
