THE RUSSIAN BATTLEFRONTS:
SITUATION FULLY EXPLAINED.
London, February 20. Reuter learns that the following is the present situation on the different Russian battle-fronta
North Bassia-The position at Murmansk and Archangel ia changed. It is reported that the Bolsheviks are massing troops Here and that their numbers have more than doubled since the beginning of the year. There are no signs of an ambitious offensive at present
The Eastern Front-The Siberian Army is extending its right wing northwards from Teherdin to Ustnemmskoi, where there has been fighting The Siberian counter-offensive further south continues satisfactorily.
The Southern Front-General Denikin has gained an over- whelming victory, cabled earlier. The whole of Stavropol Province in now cleared of Bolsheviks, who are holding the front with their left flank resting on the Caspian General Denikin has also -occupied the valuable oil wells at Grosny and is in touch with the advance guard of General Thomson's
force at Petrovsk. The defeated Bolsheviks are in a most uncomfortable situation owing to bad communications, and more important successes of the Volunteer Army are anticipated.
The Don Army has had extremely heavy fighting during the past week along the whole front from Tsaritsin to Mariopol, in which admittedly the Bolsheviks have generally had the best of matters, chiefly owing to the demoralised state of the Cossacks. The counter-offensive by the left wing east of Bakuut, however, has slowed down the advance and resulted in the capture of a thousand prisoners and two guns, while the Second Soviet Division, composed almost entirely of Chinese and Lettish troops, has been almost entirely destroyed.
FRENCH PREMIER'S CONDITION.
PEACE CONFERENCE WORK NOT AFFECTED.
Paris, February 19. It is announced this evening that M. Clemenceau is in excellent spirits. He has sent a message to Mr. Lloyd George thanking him for telephonic inquiries and saying he is getting on very well. Never- theless, the doctors say it will be difficult to make a definite statement as to the effects of the wound for two or three days and
is impossible as yet to use the X-rays.
Mr. Lansing, who was one of the earliest visitors, said M. Clemencean's condition was such that important matters in con- nection with the Conference could be referred to him without the alightest delay. Moreover, the work of the Conference is so well organised that it will continue almost uninterruptedly. It is expected that the Council of ten will meet as usual to-morrow. M. Pichon or Mr. Balfour presiding.
