RUSSIAN MILITARY PLANS.

CAPTURED BY THE ALLIES.

Received 9.5. LONDON, February 27. The Australian Press Association correspondent j|earas ,that documents reveal |he plans (of the Russian Military Commission in Moscow for 1919. Recent Bolshevik attacks show that these plans have been carried out more or less successfully on several Russian fronts, particularly in Ukraine, though attacßs on Esthonia and the North Caucasus, the plans have thus far failed. There is accumulating evidence of the missing Bolshevik force on the Archangel front, while on the Muransk front the enemy retired twenty miles, blowing up a large quantity of stores.
