MOSCOW. Friday June THE
Crecho- Siovak troops In their opera
tions along the railways connecting
Siberia with central Russia have TEN.
porarily cut off communication between
the Siberian grain stores and Moscow
and Petrograd, seriously menacing the
bread rations, which already are in
adequate.
The Czecho- Sloyaks now control the
stations OF Omsk and Nieholaievic and
Tcheliabinks and also many smaller
stations. Consequently they are able
to prevent traffic from the Siberian
granaries TO both Moscow and Petro-
grad.
The bolshevik government has sent
emissYries to negotiate with the Crecho-
Sovak officers and hopes to arbitrate
the disputes growing out Of the at
tempt to disarm the Czecho- Slovaks,
who insist that they must be given the
right to pass through Siberia to Vladi-
vostok on their way to the fighting
front in France.

WITH THE FRENCH ARM
les, June 1.-THE French bar the
road to Compiegne and the Ger
man losses are terrific.
That is a summary Of the battle
after six days of fighting unpar-
relied In intensity. On the left the
ally counter-stroke has thrust the
enemy back almost to the line whire
the attack began, despite the fact
that they encountered extremely
heavy forces which were themselves
massed for a new blow.
Al one point the attacking French
met 1000 Germans on a two-mile
front and drove through them ir-
resistibly. Something akin to panic
appeared to seize the enemy. Gun
teams were observed hurriodly re-
moving pieces far In the rear Of the
scene Of action.
Hun Checked In Center
Here the left merges with the
center, We recovered important po-
sitions, everywhere earpeted with
heaps Of German dead. In the CEN
ter German attempts to reach the
valley Of the Aronde, by which to
push toward Compiegne, have been
defeated. In the Matz valley,
further east, the heights south Of
Chauvincourt still presents an i'm
passible barrier.
From one bar, a hiIl, where Will
liam Of Flavy, governor of Com
piegne In the time Of Joan OF Arc,
had his castle, French guns are
tearing assault after assault TO
pieces. On the right, the northern
spur of Laigue forest covers the
defense movement southwest from

mans are bsins Slaughtered like cat
