The emperor then described
"the marvellous possibilities" of

London, July l3.-ln an editorial
in its issue of July 8, which displays
anxiety over developments in Rus

that the successes of the Czecho-
Slovaks have overcome the objec-
tions of the entente to intervention,
and it refers to the undertaking
which England is preparing from
the north against the heart of Eu-
ropean Russia" as more serious
than the attack which it assumes
he japanese will deliver from the
cast.
The newspaper thinks that the
Moscow bolshevik government is
aced with immediate peril, and it
lwells upon the successes of the
Izecho- -Slovaks, with whom, il says,
he entente seems already to have
established a connection.
Assuming that the entente ex-
'ects to compel Germany to
strengthen its protection" in the
ast. the newspaper continues:
