FALL OF
VLADIVOSTOK
Lenine's Order Went Astray and
Czechs Got Days Good
Start Upon Their
Enemies.

TOKYO, July 2O.-(By mail)-
Vladivostok fell into the hands Of the
Czceho-Slovaks because Len1ne
order went astray.
The order provided that the Czechs
in VIadivostok were to be disarmed
by the Bolsheviki on Sunday, June
80 The Czechs learned of the order
Friday, June %. They spent busy
Saturday, and by night fall, June ~,
they were in command of Siber1a's
greatest Pacific port.
Saturday morning Czech ultima
tum was presented to the local soviet
to disarm their red guards ana TO
hand over to the Czechs all or their
weapons Half an hour was given to
complete the disarmament. The
soviets refused. Thereupon the soviet
was declared to be dissolved and
orders were given to arrest its dele
gates and all the prominent Boil
sheviki in town.
/ Meantime in the harbor, the soviet
torpedo boats Bravey, Tveaoy, Tochty
and Malaieff. loosed their anchors
and attempted to put out to sea. The
british cruiser Suffolk silently turned
her broadside on the approaching
battleships and cleared her guns for
action. The Japanese cruiser Asah1
signalled the Bolsheviki boats to halt.
They obeyed A British and Japa-
nese officer boarded each vessel ana
the crews surrendered without resist
ance.
Ashore the Czechs, strengthened
by marines from the British and
Jananese cruisers, quickly occupied
all strategic points, powder maya
zines. railway stations and pubic
buildings Anti-Bolshevik forces lined
1.-The busy downtown streets, the
lAleutskaya and Svetlianskaya. Traffic
was stopped and business was sus-
pended.
without bloodshed, dozens OF Boil
sheyikf were arrested and led away
while the people in the streets
cheered.
At three p. m. a Czech guard ap-
preached the Bolshevik fortress and
demanded It's surrender. He was
shot down. For two hours machine
guns poured a never-ending stream OF
bullets into the fortress. The red
guard garrison was unable to ap-
proach the windows to return the fire.
Crowds watched the fight in silence
from every point Of vantage.
Suddenly there was tremendous
explosion. A Czech had crawled near
the fortress under the machine gun
barrage and had thrown mine into
the building Fire started In the fort
ress and a white flag was run up.
The fight was over.
| The Czech casualties were four
killed and fifteen wounded. me
soviets lost forty-one killed and one
hundred eight wounded.
