LONDON, March 1l.-Gerrhan pris-
oners Of war are reported to be iEhting
with the Bolsheviki against the Cos
sacks in eastern Siberia.
Ady1ces received here today indicated
that Tho Cossae1s. under General
Semenoff. had been compelled to retire
after a brush with the BoIsheyik forces
along the trans-Siberiah railway west
Of Hardin.
The BolshevIk troops ware equipped
with considerable artillery. and we're
evidently under competent leadership.
The possibility OF German prisoners Of
war being used in the Far East was
one Of the reasons for the anxiety Of the
japanese government. Japan feared
chat the Germans would be able to Sc
cure control OF Vladivostok and might
even plan the invasion Of northern China.
The number Of German and Austro-
Hungarian prisoners Of war in Siberia
has been estimated at from 5000 TO
5000.
