(Bt Electric Telegraph—OopyrigW). (Beater's Telegrams) „ LONDON, Feb. 20. The weekly authoritative summary states that a Bolshevist offensive is proceeding in North Russia, where the situation is serious. The Reds have carried the forward Russian lines in the Onega Valley and on the Vologda Railway, largely owing to the mutiny of a Russian regiment, whose commander and most of the officer#; were killed by their own men, 500 of whom deserted to the Reds. The North Russian Government resigned, and handed over power to General,. Miller. The Bolshevists claim the capture of Odessa, wdth 200 officers, 30,000 men and’loo guns. The Bolshevists have introduced industrial compulsion by transforming the former military armies into labour armies, at Kazan, Perin, Moscow, and Chernigov, chiefly on account of mutinies. (Rec. Feb. 21, 8.40 a.m.) LONDON. Feb. 20. It is reported that the Bolsheviks have captured Archangel.
