AIMED AT SOVIET
REVOLUTIONARY MOVE. WELL-ORGANISED GROUPS. INFLUENCING THE PEOPLE. (Per Press Association—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 9.15 a.m.) LONDON, July 17. The Riga correspondent of " The Times" says a message from a trustworthy Petrograd source confirms the recent reports that new and well organised anti-Bolshevik groups have been active in various parts of North-West-ern Russia. Towards the end of June they began operations simultaneously in the Vitebsk, Tver, Pskoff, Petrograd, and Novgorod provinces, and last week raided the towns of Kholm, Velezh Ostashkov and Rzheff, where they occupied the Soviet buildings and hanged the Communists and freed prisoners. They then retired to the forest. Their objects are to make the position of Communists outside the big centres difficult without considerable military support, and to convince the Soviet masses that the Moscow Government is impotent against determined organised action. They thereby hope to gain recruits for further action on a, larger scale.
