LONDON, June 2S-That the Boil
shev.ki in Siberia are weak and could
be overthrown easily but for the sup
port of armed prisoners released by
them is the contention of the Harbin
correspondent of the Daily Mail In
a long dispatch dated June %, he says
that of 10000 prisoners fighting on
the side of the Bolsheviki in trans
Baikalia, 1000 are Magyars, who are
the chief source of Bolsheviki
strength.
Two of three allied divisions. says
the correspondent, could put down all
opposition in Siberia. He adds:
The weakness of the Bolsheviki
may be ina gined from the fact that
a few scattered Czecho-S SIovak forces
are able TO hold the Siberian railway
from Toneliasinsk to Mij-Udinsk. a
distance of 1900 miles and keep in
touch with the counterrevolutionar
movement in southeastern Russia, led
by General Alexieff.
"Bolshevism is a living corpse. A.

save the Russians from the Germans.
but to save the Russians themselves.

ARTILLERY is ACTIVE.


LONDON, June 2S.-Considerable
artillery activity developed last night
on both sides in the region southeast
Of Gommecourt, southwest OF Arras,
the war Office announced today.
British patrols inflicted casualties up
on the Germans in clashes in this area,
British troops carried out success
full raid yesterday near Mericourt,
northeast of Amiens., An attempted
raid by the Germans near Moyenne-
vile, south of Arras, was driven off
with loss tc the enemy The state
ment reads:
"A raid attempted by the enemy
Wednesday night against one of our
posts in the neighborhod Of Moyenne-
vile, south of Arras, was repulsed
with loss. A party of our troops car
ried out a successful daylight raid
yesterday near Mericourt. 1t captured
a few prisoners without suffering cas-
uaities.
During the night our own and the
enemys artillery was active in the
neighborhood of Rossignol wood south
east of CONNIE court. Casualties were
inflicted upon the enemy in this neigh
borhood by our PATROLS
Enemy Artillery Active.
There are yet no outward indica-
tions as to when and where the Ger
man command will launch its next
stroke against the allied lines. The
fighting lull on the western front con-
tinues with only raids and local at
tacks, while on the Italian front the
Austrians, reeling from the shock of
the repulse on the Piave, seemingly
are content to allow the Italians to
have the initiative.
1t is two weeks since the German
crown prince ceased his ineftectual
efforts to reach Compiegne and the
breathing space, which has been long
er than between the offensive across
the Aisne and that on the Noyon-Mont-
didier front has been sufficient to per-
nit the Germans to prepare fully for
a renewal of the offensive. Allied
capitols look for another enemy blow
very soon. Military observers believe
it will come on the front between
Montdidier and Ypres
For the past few days the German
artillery fire has been violent on sew
eral sectors, each of which might be
selected foor an attack These sec
tors are south OF Arras, the northern
and southern legs of the Lys salient
and south of the Aisne. The Germans
may, however, attempt to surprise the
allies by attacking where they hope
they will not be expected.
Aerial activity is above the average
The Germans have raided Paris two
nights in succession. No great damage
was caused Wednesday and on Thurs
day slight material damage and sew
erl casualties resulted. Allied bomb
ing sQuadrons are very active against
German military targets behind the
lines. The British are making nightly
raids into Germany, especially against
manufa curing and railroad towns be-
tween Metz and the Rhine.

PARIS, June 23.-Dr. Won Kuehl-

says a Zurich dispatch to the journal.
The dispatch adds that it is believed

creasing pan-German anger against
the foreign secretary, Or. Won kuehI-

signed nor has the emperor requested
his resignation.

RECEIVED WITH CAUTION
SBy Associated Press)


Dispatches from Copenhagen today
carry unconfirmed reports of the over
throw of the Bolsheviki government at
Moscow. The reports which are re-
ceived with caution" in London be-
cause of their origin in German
sources" states that Generals Korni-
loft and Kaledines led the anti-Soviet
forces which took Moscow.
They add that Grand Duke Nicholas.
cousin of the former emperor and
commander in chief of the Russian
armies during the campaign earlier in
the war; has been proclaimed emperor.
A lack Of conference is noted in the
report through their inclusion of a
from the Berlin Tages Zeitung."
which says that ''Kerensky is the man
Of the future in Russia" this hardly
agreeing with the statement that
Grand Duke Nicholas has been made
emperor by the counter revolution
aries.
Generals Korniloff and Kalendines
are said to have been assisted by Ger
man troops in the reported capture of
Moscow and this adds to another note
of confusion to the account. as no
German troops have been reported
near enough to Moscow to render the
generals any aid, even if Germany
were inclined to array herself def
nitcly against the Bolsheviki authori-
ties which she has seemed undisposed
to do. The two generals named, it
may be noted, nave both previously
been reported to have been killed in
battle or assassinated.

PARIS, June 2S.-The court martial
at Darmstadt. Germany, has received
a telegram signed "Tchitcherin," an
nouncing that Nicholas Romanoff, the
former Russian emperor, has been
ssassinated. says dispatch to the
Matin from Berne. The assassination
took place between Ekaterinburg and
Perm.
The dispatch from Berne gives
weight to the increasing number OF
reports of the assassination of the for
mer Russian emreror. Darmstadt is
the capitol of the grand duchy OF
Hesse and the former empress Alix is
a sister of the reigning grand duke.
1t is not unlikely that the Russian
government, through Foreign Minister
Tchitcherin, would inform the Hessian
court of the death of Nicholas Roman
off. before making public through reg
ular channels Berlin reported recent
ly that the former emperor was being
removed from Ekaterinburg to Mos
COW. Perm is on the northern rail
road route from Ekaterinburg TO Mos
COW. CZechoSlovak troops control the
southern route and it is probable that
if the Bolshevike did take the former
emperor from Ekaterinburg they took
him by the railway running through
Perm
The former Russian empress was
last reported as being in Ekaterinburg
with her husband and daughter.

Jack Dempsey HOOted
For Poor Showing
Against Billy Miske

After giving Battling Levinski the
Knockout, decimating Fred Fulton
and dispatching Porky Flynn. SIX
thousand fans went to see Jack
Dempsey put to sleep Billy Miske at
the Olympic in Philadelphia, but
they were disappointed. Half the
spectators left before the bout was
over and they did not hesitate to rate
Dempsey a "bloomer." Neither boxer
was ever in danger.
The style of fighting was produc-
tive of such little action that the
crowd began to hoot at the conclu-
sion of the third round. Dempsey,
therefore, rushed from his corner IN
the fourth with extended left and
twice connected with Miske's jaw.
Miske came back with a right to the
ear and then, on the break, landed
his right on Dempsey's jaw. The lat
ter took the whiphand for the rest
of the round, his left landing with
good effect.and driving Miske to the
ropes.
In the fifth round Dempsey was all
over his opponetn, but was unable to
get through his defense with the
sIashing blow that would end the
battle. He shot over a left to the
jaw and then crossed the right The
blow had power, but landed high.
Miske swas Jared to toes and
Dempsey followed with a storm of
blows, sending his opponent back to
the ropes. Dempsey was boring in,
using all his power at this stage and
displaying his superiority as
fighter,
