Admiral Koltehak's Siberian army continued last week its victorious advance
from the Urals towards the Volga. At Sarapul, south-west of Perm, it is said to have routed the Bol- shevik army and to have taken twenty-five thousand prisoners. The melting of the snows will probably delay further progress, but Admiral Koltchak's operations look most promising. It may be hoped that the Allies will keep him supplied with muni- tions and food. On the Archangel and Murmansk fronts the Allies hold their own. The Polish troops have retaken Vilna. In the Ukraine a revolt against Lenin is said to be spreading. The Bolsheviks have occupied the Crimea, but the French still hold Sebastopol. The Dowager Empress and other members of the late Tsar's family, who were living at Yalta, have been rescued from their perilous situation by an Allied warship.
