Russians Determined To Press On Against Odds And De-j spite Falling Off of Allied t Aid Archangel, July 2. (Correspond- ence of The Associated Press.) The uruisn-Kussian onensive in isortn Russia, which was intended this sum- mer tp connect with Admiral Kol- chak's Siberian army and establish Archangel as a base through which Allied supplies might be handled to all anti-Bolshevik armies in the field, has met with unexpectedly strong resistance on the Dvina river at the same time ' that Admiral Kolchak s armies have been driven backward into Siberia. Because of insufficient forces, lack of open support by the Allied govern ments and the fact that natural fact ors have aided the Bolshevlki, the expedition, according to military opinion in Archangel at this time, may be doomed this summer to a failure equally as bad as that which met last summer's efforts unless large forces are thrown In at once by the Allied governments and a war against the Bolshevlki undertaken in earnest. Throughout the long winter, when ..the Allies and Russians on the Ar changel front were fighting a hard pressed, defensive battle against sn- Perior ,orce8' the A11Ied command 'was waltln tne arrIval of 8Uminer t0 take the offensive. Fearing that political conditions in Englamd would be greatly "disturbed if it Were to become known that the two briga'des of British volunteer troops, sent ostensibly to'effct ie relief of Allied forces already Im periled and outnumbered, wer in reality to be used as a reserv lor this summer's offensive, tli: cjnror fdid not permit the loci aii.nounce Iment to that effect In b. cabled abroad. j This annouiK e neiit. nrule I ti-.e Archangel press on June 6, by Major General Ironside, commander-in-chief o f the North Russian forces, was to the effect that Archangel was to be made a base for the Siberian army, through an immediate offensive lor Kotlass, on the riyer Dvina. Kohass Is the railhead for the line running to Viatka, on the Trans-Siberian rail way ,a distance of approximately 2ri0 miles from the position at that time of Kolchak's advanced posts, Rlnce then driven back many miles east ward. In this campaign, said Gen eral Ironside, the British troops were to act as a reserve while the ' Rus sians went ahead. The offensive began late in Juue, but so far has advanced only a 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 tbo same point where the Americans were es tablished last autumn before tha strong Bolshevik offensive ceased them te withdraw ddrlog the wtnttv. Although compared with last sum mer's pitifully small force the pres ent rBltiah and Russian command Is well equipped, it Is still far below the strength of the Bolshevlki 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 volunteer forces have been informed that they will be withdrawn from North Russia before another winter sets In. All Ameri cans and French are now off the" Ar changel front, and the newly trained Russian troops, most of whom were secured by draft, are limited in num ber, the territory being sparsely set tled. They are, however, well equlppe.d At the present time the North Russian government, 'which has es tablished, under direction of General Kolchak, a "strong policy to hold up the discipline in the army and among the civilian population, is dete-niined to carry on the war against the Bol shevlki to the finish and the people appear anxious to cooperate. Calvin Twiddy, who has Just re turned after twenty-eight month's service In the Navy, will leave next week for s trip through the NsV Eng land and Western States. v MOOSE MEETING , WAS LIVELY ONE ' New Members, Home Talent Minstrcl And Regular Insti tution of Lodge Among The Topics Discussed The preliminary meeting of pros pective Moose members in the hall ofthe Flora building Tuesday night was a very lively and interesting one. j The lodge has not been regularly 'inetituted as yet and will not be uu- ; til all the necessary naranhernniia has been received.
