vasion, is adding zest to the American
allied plans for aid to Russia
1t is admitted that much Of the suc
cess of the economic mission plus q
"police propaganda force of soldiers
depends upon how the Russians rally
to it's standard. Successes OF the
Czecho-Slovaks in Siberia and the
welcome rendered them by the popu
lace there, the revolt OF Ukraine
against German oppression reported
today and the cooperation OF Russians
On the Thurman coast with the allies
are regarded as most encouraging by
officials here.
Should the Czecho-Slovaks forces
meet with defeat, however, the whole
problem would be seriously affected
For upon that force the allies are
counting for emergency aid"
These changing events with their
possibilities merely emf hasize the diff.
faculties confronting the allies in car
rying out a definite course of action
Hurried War Preparations.
STOCKHOLM, July 1.-THE Boil
shevfk war commissariat of the north

officers have been arrested at Ar

American Consul Poole and British
Concul Lockardt, visited Foreign

denied they had published a secret

Policy Of Siberia.
TOXIC, July 11.-Policies OF he
new Siberian movement set up at
Vladivostock by the Siavo-Czecs,
were outlined In an interview which
a member of the Czec cabinet gave
correspondent of the Japanese news
paper Nichi Nichi in Vladivostok.
The new government, says the in
terview, does not recognize the Drest-
Litovsk treaty; it purposes to effect
the autonomy of Siberia; to rehabiii-
tate the army and send troops TO re-
establish the eastern front; it will
not repudiate the Russian national
debts and Siberia will pay her share
of them.
An official Japanese statement fs-
sued here announces the capture Of
by the Gees. A consider

says the statement, and the Gees
pursued the remainder of the enemy

it is difficult to determine what the
Italian general staff has in mind.
There are four possible reasons for
! the drive:
First, to supply the demand for
new victories, which have been stmu-
lated in Italy by the recent successes
against the AustroHungarians; sec
ond, to create a diversion that will
prevent the Austro-Hungarians from
concentrating all their forces for a
new attack along the Piave; third,
to encourage the spirit Of revolt
among the Slav nationalities in
Austria-Hungary; fourth, to prepare
the way for an allied offensive in
the Balkans.
Very likely, the first three reasons
are acting comparatively.
Whether the final, and by far the
most important, possibility is being
seriously considered must be regard
ed doubtfully until there is more
evidence For the allies to attempt
a major advance in the Balkans at
this time would be serious drain on
their strength. Greek aid would be
necessary to a very large extent, and
it is not probable that the Greek army
is as yet supplied with munitions OF
war on a sufficient scale to give rea-
sonable surety of success.
If, however, at later time it is
