The withdrawal here has been ex-, Vectcd for some time, and It con tlnued last night and today even on a slightly broader front than that of yesterday.

May Reach Czechs What Is of more Importance for the immediate purpose of tho expedition is that a Rrltish force has gone up by boat along the northern Dvlnl to Koltas, one of the most beautiful stretchps of river travel ln Russia. From Koltas a short branch railway leads to Vlatlta, a considerable town on tho main line from Petrogrnd and Vologda to Siberia. It was reported recently that ln Vintka the Bolshevik leglme. never firmly established, had been overthrown by local lnsurrec- l"rom Vlatka it is not very far th ran eh Perm tn Rkntorlnbure. which. according to the last reports, wns in the hands of tne Czecho-Hlovaka. une prospects of tho Allies getting Into touch with the Czecho-Slovak line in the Interior seems, therefore, to bo very favoiable. But It must bo re membered that nil military operations in the north, Including tho occupation i of strategic points, the maintenance of communications and tho creation of a Russian force must be carried out with great energy before winter comes on nnd befoio the Germans succeed ln effecting counter-stiokes. The Bolsheviki are falling, though reports that Lenino and Tiotsky have left Moscow seem hardly credible, and It is for many reasons highly improb ablo that they would take refuge In Kronstadt, but their fall will leave many complications, and the Allies will havo to exercise great tact and caution ln dealing with the new de velopments. In th Allied capitals the represcnta tlves of tho various parties and Kioups nre pushing their claims, nnd the British and French and American public, unversed as It Is ln the Intrica cies of Russian politics, may easily become bewildered and wearied by the multitude of conflicting counselors. Task to Free Russia The task of the Allies ln Russia is clear. The work of the tioops is to help Russia free herself from tho Ger mans and to restore to her people lib erty ot action. Wo cannot and must not Impose on Russia any particular political system, nor can we, while en gaged n the work to which we havo set our hand, allow ourselves to be entangled with any particular faction or promte anything we do to prejudice the free reconstruction of Russia.

The text of Oerman orders published here shows how anxious the enemy has become as to airplane losses. An order Issued to ,tl,e 183d German Infantrv states flatly that, owing to -the present feeble resources of the Oerman army In the department of aviation, It Is abso hitely useless for ahy regiments to con tinue tho practice of sending in com plaints of Inefficient support afforded by the German air authorities against Al lied activity In the air. "The Infantry," the order states, "must make even more use than In the past of Its own arms, -such aa machine guns, etc., for defense against Allied air planes."

Lose 000 Planes a Month The losses of the Germans, according to figures established here, involve a re newal of about three-quarters of their total air strength every month, as the Allied aviators and anti-aircraft guns bring down an average of about 900 enemy airplanes monlhly.
