PEACE WITH SWORD.
ANTI-BOLSHEVIKS FIGHT. SOME COMMUNISTS SLAIN. NEW FORCES IN RUSSIA. (By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 0.30 a.m.) LONDON, July 17. The Rig correspondent of the "Times' , says that messages from a trustworthy I'utrograU source confirm the recent reports that new and well-organised anti-Bolshevik groups have been active in various parts of north-western Ruaeia. Towards the end of Juno they began operations simultaneously in the Vitebsk, Tver, Pskoff, Pctrograd, and iN'ovgorod provinces, and last week raided the towns of Kholm, Vulezh, Oetashkov, and Kzheff, where they occupied the Soviet buildings, hanged the Communists, and freed the prisoners, and 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, and thereby hope to gain recruits for further action on a larger scale. — ("Times.")
