In the Balkans the British are us
ing their forces as a stabilizing lntlu
ence against the varied ambitions of
the several states. In trans-Caspla,
northwest of -Afghanistan, they are
protecting the population from Tur
kish excesses, the result of the re
fusal of tho Turks to reallae they
liaVe been beaten lit the war. In
; trans-Caucasia they are fighting the
Russian Bolshevik!, i ; In northern
Italy they are acting as a buffer be
tween the i Italians and Csecho-Slo-vaks
until the peace conference set
tlos differences there. Several com
mands are InRnssia and fairly large
forces are being maintained in In
dia; Mesopotamia and northern Per-
Three divisions of the force sent
to Italy In 1917 remain but in con-
slderably reduced numbers. ' Many
men have been demobilized and hone
Bent to replace them. One battalion
Is at Flume, another in northern Ty
rol, A part of this force will be used
for the allied army of occupation In
Austria. :r
The three divisions in the Balkans
are stationed In the Dobrudja which
is the subject of considerable con
troversy between Rumania and Bul
garia, near Constantinople and the
Dardanelles and in the vicinity of
Saloniki.
In Egypt and Palestine there might
he more trouble with the Turks it a
British force was not maintained
there while in Mesopotamia it is
feared the Inhabitants, freed even of
Turkish control, would start fighting
among themselves if not controlled
by the military. ' These influences
necessitate keeping a certain number
of troops in these areas, in the opin
ion of the war office officials here.
The British have troops in Russia
on the Murman coast, south of Arch
angel, and at Omsk while at Vladivo
stok is a 'brigade of Canadians.
There is a British garrison of 70,
000 in India and it Is not expected to
reduce this force until just before
the heated season begins. Then it
is planned to bring home about 20,
000 it shipping facilities are avail
able. This is an unusually large gar
rison for India but the war and co
lonial office officials believe a large
garrison will be necessary for some
time. 1 :v

T ALLIES TO '
IN IHE UKRAINE
LONDON (Correspondence of tho
Associated Press.) Use of only a
small volunteer force of allied troops
to maintain order in the Ukraino is
requested by the representatives of
Russian, political organizations in
London in a statement Issued here
purporting to set forth their views.
The statement expressly declares
that except for the assistance ot "a
small allied detachment that could be
brought from the Black sea to main
tain order in the Ukraine, the Rus
sians ask for no allied troops at all.
only for material. Russia is able and
willing and much prefers to rehabili
tate herself with her own forces." '
' They, also wsk for war material,
rifles and especially aircraft .and
tanks. These, they say, should be
supplied to Russia's own army com
prising 230,000 men under Admiral
Kolchak, with headquarters at Omsk,
and another 250,000 men under the
command of General Deniklne, who
is reported to have just joined forces
with those of the Cossack leader on
tho Don, General Kraznoff. The
Russians appeal also for moral allied
support and recognition. Bolshevism
must be placed outside the pale of
society and declare that "such a pro
nouncement on the part of the allies
has never yet been made but would
have tremendous influence and im
portance." '.':'-
; A plan of military operations aim
ed at the Bolsheriki Is suggested by
the Russian delegation. It proposes
that the forces of 'Admiral Kolchak
and General Denlkine be joined and
adds that if this were done three
fourths of the task would be accom
plished and "the collapse of Bolshev
ism would be only a matter of
weeks." The next step proposed
would be to sever the Bolshevik com
munications between north and south
Russia. The Russian delegation
pointed out that General Deniklne is
being assisted by the allies from the
Black sea from which he was only
six hours distant and they asserted
that as soon as he had enough ma
terial he would move north and join
Admiral Kolchak, and move toward
Tsarltsln, an important strategic cen
ter in southeastern Russia.
