RUSSIA.
WITHDRAWAL OF ALLIES.
POSITION EXPLAINED. EXPEDITIONS MERELY TO checkmate ommv
Received Jan. 11, 5.5 p.m.
Amsterdam, Jan. 10. in view of the criticism of Allied intervention in Russia, and the demand for withdrawal, it is pointed out that the expeditions were solely aimed against the Germans, in order to prevent the further transferring of troops to the west front, and to stop the penetration of Russia, enablinb Germany to absorb its resources of minerals, foodstuffs, and oil. Although our effort in Russia was necessarily weak, it considerably assisted in Germany's overthrow. The Germans withdrew forty-eight divisions westward from the date the Bolsheviks assumed power, but these withdrawals entirely ceased for three months after the Allies landed at Archangel and were ouly resumed when they found the weakness of the Allied continbents.—Aus. NJ2. able Assoc.
