Confirmation has been received here
through official French channels. and
also at the State Department. of the
occupation by Czecho- -Slovak troops Of
the port of Vladivostok. It is not yet
known whether the Czecho-Slovaks on
the Russian Pacific coast are organized
and commanded as part OF the Czecho-
Sloyak forces in the interior of Russia.
and particularly those in the Ural
region.
The State Department and the Allied
governments are considering this new
development, but have not yet decided
to give formal recognition to it, except
in so far as has already been given by
the informal relations entered into with
the Czecho- -Slovak authorities az Vladi-
yostok by the Allied naval commanders
there That degree of recognition as
the de fscto authority at the port was
necessary. In Russian and CZecho-
:SIovak circles here the possibility of the
example set by the Czecho- -Slovak SOL
diers leading to the early re-establish-
ment of an Allied front in the East Is
seen. The State Department has heard
that a Russian general is commanding
the Czecho-Slovak troops, which would
indicate that the original plan of bring
ing these former soldiers of Austria out
of Russia has been abandoned, for the
present at least and that plans are
benig made for important changes in
the situation in Siberia. as far as the
Ural Mountains
The State Department is advised that
communication has ceased between

New Regulations Will Not
Rob Them, Says Lieut..
Col. Easby-Smith
BUT ABUSES MUST END
Pin Hope on Work.or.Fight
Rule, But Will Protect the
Plants in Any Event

New draft regulations relative to ship
yard employees will not deprive the ship
building industry of proper protection,
but will correct many abuses that have
been and are being committed in classi-
Tying draft eligibles engaged in war
work
This explanation was made this af-
ternoon by Lieutenant Colonel James S.
Easby-Smith, representative of the Pro-
Vost Marshal Generals office. who is in
Vestigating draft conditions in this city
THE shipyard employees must be pro-
tected,' said Lieutenant Colonel Easily
Smith. so long as the paramount me-
cessity of producing ships continues. But
many abuses have been committed and
the new amendments are aimed at cor
recting such abuses, not at destroying
the protection.
Pin Hope on Work-or-Fight Rule
1T is hoped the 'work-or-ight' regu-
iatiohs VIII drive many men from nom
productive occupations into the shipyards
and other essential industries, and that
many men outside of the draft age, or
now IN deferred classes, will take the
place Of many of the fighting men Of

CZECHS IN SIBERIA
DEFEAT BOLSHEVIKI
Believed Cooperating With
New Government Along
Railway in That Country
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger

special Cable to Euening Public Ledger
topDrr0ht, 1918, BY Neio York Times Go.
London, July g.
News has reached the British Foreign
once that the Czecho- Slovak force which
has been operating for some time along
the line of the Trans-Siberian railway
has met and defeated the local Bolshevist
army in the region of 1rkutsk and has
driven the Bolshevists from that city.
Definite and detailed information con-
corning this Czecho- -Sovak force is lack
ing. but Lord Cecil. discussing its per-
formance this afternoon with your CORE
spondent, said:
zone feels anxious concerning the fate
of these gallant men. AS you know. they
have always maintained themselves dis
trict from both the Austrans and Ger
mans and have really gained themselves
laurels. 1t would be an awful thing if
this detachment of them were all starved
in the middle of Russia"
As far as known. this particular force
started from Samara, in European Rus
sia and has been working along the
Trans Siberian road to the east. 1t has
now apparently reached as far as Udinsk.
east of Irkutsk. 1t is stronglyI opposed
by the Bolsl cvik, and is believed to be
cooperating with the new Siberian gov
ernment.
OF this organization verv little Is
known. and even its seat of government
has not been reported. but it seems to be
a Social Revolutionary body and defi-
nltely anti -Bolshevist.

AUSTRIAN CASUALTIES
ESTIMATED At 100000
By the Associated Press


Austrian losses in the recent offensive
against Italy and during the Italian
counter offensive are estimated at be-
tween 10000 and 25O.OOO. including at
least $4,000 killed, in an official dispatch
today from Rome based upon testimony
of numerous prisoners.
The message says the Austrians per-
sist in beating the ground about nosi-
tions captured by the Italians with a
strong but ineffectual artillery fire. 1t
adds
Prisoners taken at Monte Grappa
state the Austrians had no idea they
could be beaten from their strong posi-
ton in twenty minutes. The enemys
losses were very heavy his rear service
was badly disorganized and the troops
feel the lack of baggage.
Seven Italians who escaped captivity
state that the Austrians force a majority
of the war prisoners tC work on the
