Cxecho-Slovak March Like One
of Historical Fame.
Made s,eoO-Mile Trip Thru
Hostile Territory.
GENERAL GAIDA IN CHAR6E
His Forces Grew as Successes
Multiplied.
COSsackS Aided the Czechs to
March Ahead.

s(Corres ponIence of the Associated Press.)
Vladivostok, Sept. S0.-General
Gaida's Czecho Slovaks. fighting their
way thru 1900 miles of hostile terri
tory, furnishes a tale no less thrilling
than that related of Cortez's drive from
Vera Cruz to the ancient Aztec capital
in the sixteenth century. Like his il
lustrious predecessor, he saw his forces
grow as his successes multiplied, but
his successes, also like those of the ad-
venturous Spaniard. were due to his
unflagging. courage and ingenious tao
tics and to the loyalty of his men.
When the order came from Petro-
grad countermanding the permission
given for the free movement of the
Czecho-Slovaks toward Vladivostok, it
found them strung out in a thin line
from the Volga to Vladivostok. A ~
day truce, following the first serious
clash at Irkutsk when the Bolsheviki
undertook to disarm q trainload of
Czechs, applied only to Eastern ST.
IBERIA, and was utilized by Gaida's men
to get a running start for the plunge
thru the thickest of the struggle.
Thereafter his policy appears to have
been to constantly prepare and exc
cute some new surprise until the
enemy was in such state of nerves
that the approach of a body Of Czecho-
Slovaks, no matter how small, was

Cossacks Aided.
Assisted by Cossacks and by Czechs
from Chiliabinsk, Colonel Kadlets,
then commander of the Czech forces
west of Irkutsk fought his way west
to Omsk, taking towns enroute. He
improved the time during the armis-
tice to clean up the line westward to
the Urals.
Meantime, with resumption of hos
tilities to the eastward the Czech
Slovak forces between Krasnoyarsk
and Irkutsk found themselves hard
pressed and near to the end of their

Money in Bank
To Drill and
Complete Well
has been set

Aside by this company to cover the eX-
pense Of drilling and completing this first
we'll on the S~hirt-Sleeve OIL company's
lease in Okmulgee county, Oklahoma. This
money has been raised by the sale OF stock,
and, as a guarantee to the stockholders, !
have placed this amount in the bank for
this express purpose. do not believe It
will take more than SO, 900 to complete
this first big well, but ! have played safe
for the company and the stockholders In
case of any delays that might occur, This
big we'll will be started Just as soon as a
good drilling contract can be drawn up and
the weather conditions will justify. This
we'll should be a big gusher. We are right
In the heart Of this field, where big gushers
are being brought in and huge derricks be-
ing rapidly erected preparatory to drilling
other wells. The big 2,000-bsrrel gusher,
which the Okmulgee Producing and Rein
ing company brought in a few weeks ago,
is only about 800 yards from our lease. An
account Of their second 2,000-barrel well,
brought in a few days ago, appeared in the
Daily Oklahoman under date Of February
II, on page IL. Both Of these big wells
are in section rs; township Ia north, range
IL east, This section adjoins section 26,
in which the Shirt-Sleeve lease is located,
This makes the third big we'll our neigh
bors have brought in recently-the other,
a reported 1,000-barrel well, Is about 900
yards to the southeast of our lease. We
are on this great structure and confident
that our first well will be as big, If not a
bigger, gusher than either Of the Okmulgee
.company's for~tune-makers.
