ANTI-SOVIET
RISINGS IN RUSSIA. CONCERTED MOVEMENT. 8S GABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT Received July 18, 9.15 a.m. LONDON, July 17. The Riga correspondent to The Times says that messages from a trustworthy Petrograd source confiriil the recent reports that new, well-organised anti-Bolshevik groups have been active in various parts of North-western Russia. Towards the end of June they began operations simultaneously in Vitebsk, Tver, Pskoff, Petrograd, and the Novgorod provinces, and last week raided the towns of Kholm, Velezh, Ofcashkov and Rzheff, where they occupied the Soviet buildings, hanged Communists, freed prisoners, and then retired to the forest. Their objects are to make the position of Communists outside the big centres difficult without military support, and convince the Soviet masses that the Moscow Government is impotent against determined organised action. Thereby they hope to gain recruits for further action on a larger scale.—Times.
