JUGO-SLAV VOLUNTEERS.

OF GREAT ASSISTANCE TO ALLIES

IN LANDING ON MURMAN COAST,

(Received Aug. 3., 9.10 a.m.)

LONDON, Aug. 2. Reuter learns that a detachment of Jugo-Slavs, all volunteers, who were formerly Austrian prisoners in Russia, greatly assisted the Allied landing on the Murman coast. They traversed Russia from Odessa to Archangel, occupied strategical points on the- Murman railway, and beat off the German and Finnish assaults. Large numbers of these Jugo-Slavs wore in a pitiful condition and were collected and sent to Allied hospitals. When re-equipped they will prove of the greatest value to the Allied cause. —Reuter.
