WASHINGTON. June s.-Long

are said TO be accompanied by a
large force of Austrians and Ger

The crossing of the Onon river by
the bolsheviki is construed by the
officials here as part Of a campaign
TO exclude Seminon from any use
of the northern. or Amur river
branch OF the Siberian railroad.
Gen. Seminoff's movements have
been closely followed and il has
been realized that his campaign
might suddenly assume great i'm
portance we're the entente allies

lend him material support. The
cossack leader has been working
along the southern border of Trans
Baikalia from his base at the Mon
golia station on the southern branch
OF the Siberian railroad. His Oh
jective was the important junction
named Karmskaia. where the Siber-
ian railroad. coming eastward,
divides into two branches. one maxi
ing an almost direct line eastward
across Manchuria TO Vladivostok on
the Pacific and the other reaching
the same ocean by an extensive
detour to the northward.
