Following from [Harris at] Tomsk.
“112. February 14, 7 p.m. General Staff Omsk states today’s date that military situation much improved during past three days’ fighting. Siberians have taken many prisoners and guns. Fifteen Bolshevik regiments have refused to fight. However as an offset to this four regiments of Dutoff’s Cossacks have also refused to fight. Population Omsk quiet.
Considerable enthusiasm over improved military situation. Harris.”
