AN ADVANCE CLAIMED.

London, January 26. A Bolshevist communique claims at advance. Troops and Beasants' corps have reached the Chinese frontier in the vicinity of the Kobeo-Bissk road. Meanwhile the strength of the troops is unknown, but at present they are not regarded as an advance guard of the main Bolshevik army: They are probably forces similar to the bands recently operating at Irkutsk.

London, January 23. An authoritative weekly summary says the Bolshevisis are widely distributing a Proclamation among the troops, dividing the Whites into two categories. The first are capitalists and their sons, and officers, etc.. and the second are those like the Cossacks who Ware anti-Bolshevist because they were ignorant or were compelled to be. The Proclamation urges the cessation of unnecessary killing of the latter but re-emphasises the necessity for exterminating the first category.
