OlOvyanna is in Transbaikalia,
I about nearly 1000 miles.
1t is apparent that the unexpected
climax in the CzechO-Slovak break
through was due partly to the allied
advance toward KhabarOvsk, which
caused the transfer of a large Boil
shevik force from Lake Baikal to-
ward KhabarOvsk. The weakened
front collapsed under the Czech pres
sure from the west and General
SemenOn's pressure from the east.
Capture of the town of Khabar-
Ovsk was reported IN "a press despatch
from Shanghai)
The opportunity is now presented
of the allies taking advantage Of the
strategical points in the hands Of
the Czeclls to move into the heart of
Russia, where considerable reinforce
menIs from loyal Russian elements
are certain, and striking a stunning
