IS NOW ASKED

LuuuuH lIoN many SpuINtS, all uVN-
ever, OF German origin. Because Of
this origin the reports are not ac-
cepted here for their face value, but
there seems little doubt that the end OF
the Bolshevik regime is at hand, II in
deed, It has not already arrived.
Perhaps the most important feature
OF this movement is the announcement,
which comes through Amsterdam, that
Prof. Paul Miliukoff and Gen. Alexan-
der Guchkon, probably the Minister OF
War In the Lvov Cabinet, have arrived
at Hardin, in Manchura, and have
placed themselves at the head of the
counter revolution.
Gen. Korniloff, former commander In
chief Of the Russia armies, and Gen.
Kaledine, commander OF the Don Cos
sacks. are reported also as partlcipat-
ing in the movement In South Russia,
Nikolai Lenine and Trotzky are said
TO be in flight to the north coast Of
Russia.
Grand Duke Nicholas. who was com
mander Of all the Russian armies in the
early years OF the war, has been pro-
claimed Emperor, according to one re-
port. Rumors OF the murder Of former
Emperor Nicholas at or on the way to
Moscow by the Bolsheviki are appar-
entity confirmed, and also the death OF
his son, the former Crown Prince.
Il Is declared that the supporters Of
Grand Duke Nicholas have overthrown
the Soviets throughout the Siberian
provinces of Irkutsk, Blagovieshtchensk
and Khabarevsk
The defeat OF the Bolshevlk is said
to have been made possible by the
victories Of the Czech-Slovak forces
and the treachery OF the Red Guard.
Several detachments OF the Red Guard
are declared TO have murdered their
officers and then surrendered.
Moscow, the reports add, has been
captured by Gen. Korniloff' supported
by German troops. Gen. Kaledines is
said 10 have co-operated with Gen.
Kornlloff in the capture OF Moscow.
The Copenhagen newspapers, a des-
patch says, give prominence TO Ber-
lin despatch quoting the Tageszeitung
OF that city, as saying II had received
a message from its Petrograd cores
pondent reading as follows:
1T is believed here (petrograd) that
the Boishevik Government will soon be
overthrown and that kerensky is the
man Of the future in Russia"
The Wolf Bureau, the German semi
Official news agency, says that Grand
Duke Michael Alexandrovitch OF Russia,
is at Omsk and is heading an anti-Bol-
shevik movement Grand Duke Michael,
II is stated, has refused 10 assume the
throne, preferring TO leave the decis !

Reds Weak in Siberia.
That the Bolsheviki IN Siberia are
weak and could be overthrown easily
but for the support Of armed prison
ers released by them is the contention
Of the Harbin correspondent OF the
Daily Mail. In a long despatch, dated
June 20, he says that Of 10000 prison
srs fghtlng on the side OF the Bolshe-
ih In Trans-Baikalia, 1000 are Mag
-ars. who are the chief source OF Boil
hevik strength.
Two or three allied divisions. says the
