U.S. AND ALLIES '
WILL KEEP ROAD
TO RUSSIA OPEN
I'nintcrruptod Communica
tion Through Kola and by '
Rail lo Petrograd. Plan
Wa.vliiiijrtmi. July 91* ' s P k,s "
sible to state at least one definite
conclusion with respect to the allied
and American policy toward Russia.
The road to European Russia must,
••e kept open to the allies. That is
the road which leads through the
port of Kola, on the Arctic Ocean.;
■nd hy railroad direit to Petrograd. |
The port is now in the hands of ;
a'lied and American naval and ma-j
•ine forces. which are extend-;
•nc their sphere of influence south- j
ward alone the Murmansk railroad. ]
The Germans, knowing full veil
the danger to their plans so long - asj
the road is open to the allies, are in- j
deavoring to cut it and to isolate*
Kola if they cannot capture that ice-,
ree port. It is the German plan to'
surround European Russia so far!
as it is possible to do so—to cut oft i
the Russians from all connection
with the remainder of Europe and
!ea\e open only thc long-distance
route through Liberia to Vladivostok.
The encircling band of German steel
may extend even that far if some-'
•hing is not done to prevent it.
'Garrison Must !U- StrenpllK'nnl
Whatever steps may be necessary
to keep the Kola gateway open will
be taken. That will involve first of j
all the rapid strengthening of tlit
somewhat meager garrison already]
..t Kola and strung along the railway
in the direction of Petrograd. Already!
omniitted to the Kola project, the;
I'nited States will participate in the
further operations there, and devei-;
opments of to-dav will tender to con
firm dispatches that the conference
at the White House Saturday after
noon was taken up largely with a'
discussion of the Kola situation.
There were persistent and inter
esting reports Saturday evening that
decisions reached at the conference
might go beyond the Kola project, j
but those have not been confirmed. |
The vast stores which the allies;
shipped lo Kola for the Russian
army prior to the time the Bolshe
\ iki took control ultimately may be •
turned over to the Russian people;
or to a rehabilitated Russian army,
but such a disposition of them |
would not be possible, it is argued,.
if it were not for the presence at j
this time of an armed international:
force at the Arctic port. That force
is protecting the supplies, and. fur-j
thermore. it is protecting and will
continue to protect the line over:
which the supplies ultimately must
reach the Russian people if at all.
licrmans l>ri\ ing Toward Kola
The Germans are driving ahead
oward Kola. The latest reports indi
■ ate they will demand of the Bolshe-;
Mk government the free passage of I
German troops through Petrograd in
the direction ot Kola. If the Rolshe
\ iki grant the request it will show J
how completely they are under the j
influence of the Germans, and it also i
would be interpreted as lending aid i
to the Germans in their avowed at- 1
tack upon the allied defenders of the j
only port through which European {
aid can be sent to Russia. The fruits i
of such an act well may be imagined.
While dealing with his Cabinet of-j
ticers and thc chiefs of naval and t
military operations on the specific
subject of Kola. President Wilson is ;
continuing to keep his own counsel i
regarding the larger aspects of the!
Russian situation. He is maintaining'
the reticence which marked his
Fourth of July address. There has
been such wide speculation through-'
out the country concerning what the J
ultimate policy of this country will i
be that the President is being urged >
anew to discuss the subject.
Secretary Lansing said last even-!
ing:
"The Russian situation is in such j
<hape that 1 can say nothing respect-1
ing it at the moment."
No Anxictv Regarding Francis
While momentous events are i
transpiring in Russia, including the
ssassination of Count von Mirbach.;
the German ambassador, at Moscow,!
the State Department remains with
out advices of any sort from Ambas
sador Francis, at Vologda. The last;
telegram from Mr. Francis was dated:
June 24. two weeks ago. There have :
been other long periods of interrup-!
t>on of communication, however, and!
no anxiety is felt.
