New Soviet Gains Reported Across Fronts
A Soviet wireless report claims gains on the northern front up to January 24 with village captures and prisoners. In the south near Tzaritzan, forces pushed back the enemy and seized Davidovska with 600+ prisoners, four guns, 20 machine guns, shells, and a train. Eastern front mentions Uralsk and Skmaryskaya under Bolshevik control. Mass refugee exodus from Shenkursk continues as Red Cross says conditions are dire. In Washington, Senator Johnson calls for immediate withdrawal from Russia, condemning intervention as wicked and useless.
