The New York Times' Washington correspondent states that, according to diplomatic advices received to-day, a definite plan of action with a view to restoring order in Russia is now in progress. It is understood that President Wilson and the Entente Premiers have exchanged views on the subject, ana that military operations will begin with the winter instead of in the spring.
The paramount need of stamping out anarchy and chaos is described as the motive of the plan. Though the expedition will be of a military character it will not be a war against Rxissia, tat rather an extension of police duty to protect foreign interests as well as civilians.
Though the Bolsheviks are upwards of a million strong, according to latest advices, they are not in a condition to offer any real resistance. The extent of the military operations has not yet been determined, but it is expected the Japanese, as well as the British and French, will participate.— Aus. N.Z. Cable Assoc.
