HEADED TOWARDS VOLOGDA.

ALLIES IN NORTHERN RUSSIA. NEW YORK, August 2S. The Petrograd correspondent of the "New York World" states that within two days 2,000 Russian officers, ranking from subalterns to generals, have been arrested. It is reported tbat liaison between the Allies from Archangel and the Czechoslovaks has been made at Yiatka, and that the Allies are advancing on the line of the Vologda River. An uprising in the government of Novgorod, near ~ Petrograd, will probably result in the cutting of the railway from Moscow to Petrograd. A revolt at Nalva, on the Gulf of Vinland. proves so serious that the Bolsheviks are powerless to suppress it.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.)

The suddenness of the affair nonplussed the Siberian Government, which Was unable to organise any opposition. Xo bloodshed occurred." The Allied representatives are considering the situation. — (Reuter.)
