The Don Cossacks, always the bitter c
enemies of Teuton nnd Bolshevlkl,
have suept their opponents from the(

marching against Zaragin.
Soviet forces retiring from Moscow i
.lie reported to have fortified them
selves In tho Kremlin, Just outside
the city, and to have prepared to resist
attack there.
Tho landing of American troops at
Vladivostok,, announced by Secretary
