Washington, July D. Unexpected
development of strength ~ tine
Czecho Slovak bands which are max
tng their way across the Siberian
plains from European Russia, has
formed the basis OF earnest confer
ence among the diplomatic represen-
I tatiyes Of the entente powers.
Official reports received today cor
firmed press dispatches that the
/ CNechoS Slovaks had takn over ad-
ministration OF the Pacific port OF
Vladiyostok, after a battle with inc
| Bolsheyiki,
There is now real nucleus In 81
IBERIA for the gathering of the cary
| ing elements which have revolted
against Bolsheviki control and sur
| ender o German influences.
Through this unprompted action the
Czecho-Slovaks have definitely ns.it-
ed the spread of German control of
the eastern coast of Siberia and fur
ther assured the safety from Ger
man seizure of the vast stores OF
military supplies at vladiyistok and
vicinity. The control OF the Pacific
port, commanding a great railroad
penetrating the interior OF Siberia
and connecting with the Russia sys-
tenn, possesses great possibilities.
Various bands of Czecho-Slavs, well
armed and thoroughly organized, oe-
cupy many points OF strategic svalua
along the Siberian railroad from the
Ural mountains to the Pacific, with
the largest body at Vladivostok From
Irkutsk TO Vladivostok is long
stretch held mainly by German and
Austrian prisoners, who have becl
partially armed and are trying to Sc
cure more arms from yladivistok.
From Irkutsk to Syzran, a distance
of nearly $500 miles through the greas
grain and dairy region of Western
Siberia the Czecho-Sloyaks are Aa
control. Great stores of grain, butt
ter, eggs and meat are held a various
points along this part of the railroad
and the Germans are using every en-
deavor to obtain them for shipment
W hSlnidltJ
The Czecho -Sloyaks are trying to
effect "a union of the various bands
through this stretch Of country to
present a front against the Germans
while at the same time insuring tho
retention of control OF the railroad
Efforts are being made to bring the
large body from Vladivostok with the
arms and munitions stored there.
News was received today from An
bassador Francis that the Bolshevilsl
government at Moscow had brought
to that capital under arrest the civil
members of the local duma at Arch
angel, another Arctic port not far
distant from Kola. The Archangel
duma is survival OF the old Ker-
ensky regime. and it is supposed the
Bolsheviki administration at MOSCOW
for that reason desires to replace il
by some of their own partisans.

WAR AT A glance

Wy > AAC hoNONldltu lItENs
American troops standing at Vaux,
northwest of Chateau Thierry, have
completely smashed repeated and de-
termined counter attacks by the Ger
mans, who sought to oust the Ameri-
cans from their new positions. That
the Germans have tried desperately
to reverse the decision in the battle
is an indication that the occupation
of VauX is viewed as important by the
enemy commanders.
Over the lines held by General
Pershins's men there has been burst
ing storm of steel from the Ger
man cannon, high explosive and gas
shells being interminged in the pro-
jecties hurled by the foes cannon.
The Americans. however, have not
yielded a foot of ground, and when
the enemy has attacked, he has been
permitted to approach close TO the
American lines before a storm of bul-
lets has cut through his ranks and
broke his attack.
AS the result of these attacks the
Germans have lost very heavily, the
ground being covered with their dead
and wounded.
They have, in addition, lost many
prisoners. The battle is still being
fiercely waged.
French units are said to be encage
in the region of Vaux, but it is prob
able that they are not very numerous.
