LONDON, May 10
Britain intends to withdraw all forces from North Russia at the earliest opportunity. Reinforcements signed for one year's service. The Russian army is growing and training under British officers. It is expected when the British withdraw, a sufficient Russian force will have been established for the defence of the population. Several thousand British troops are being returned in the Caucasus region to keep order. They will act under the League of Nations if the latter requires force there. Britain has no intention of being drawn into internal disputes in the Caucasus. The Bolsheviks everywhere in Russia are displaying .great military weakening. Admiral Kolchak, who may be termed the Beatty ct Russia, has, by sweeping victories, lessened the Bolshevik power. Dramatic events may soon be expected, preparing the way for a united country.
