Siberian Provisional
Government Formed
To Reorgaraize Army

VLAD1VOSTOK, via Shanghai, Tues
day, July 16.-The immediate aim of
the Czecho- Slovaks is the occupation of
khabarovsk, seat of the general govern
ment of the Amur, in order to secure
their right flank, after which they will
proceed along the Chinese Eastern rail-
way until a junction is effected with
Czecho- o-Slovaks from Irkutsk.
The enemy forces between Nikolsk
and lrkutsk are $4,000 German Magyars
and 25,O00 Bolsheviki, and probably are
concentrated in the region of Lake
Baikal and Chita.
A Siberian provis onal government
has been established at Vladivostok. 1t
constitutes an integral part of the ST.
berlan government at Tomsk, and is
mutually pledged to convoke a Sibe rian
Constituent Assembly when the country
is cleared of Bolsheviki and communi-
cation is restored, and to reform the
national army to cooperate with the
Allies.
The present position of the Vladi
vostok government is being strength
ened. 1t is supported by the munich
pal Zemstvo. The operations of Cen
eral Horvath, commander of the anti.
Bolshevlk forces. have complicated the
situation, and the Siberian government
has announced that Horvath's coopera-
ton is impossible.
The attitude of the Czechs toward
the Siberian government is that of
friendly neutral, but they will oppose
any threatened armed advance bv Cen
eral Horvath on Vladivostok. as an
outbreak Of civil war would ieopardize
their operations for relieving the
Czechs in the interior.

Russian Embassy
Doubts Miiiukof
Has Joined Germans

WASHINGTON, July 10. - Extreme
doubt was expressed at the Russian
Embassy to-day as to the accuracy of
the clrcum stantial report of the defec-
ton of former Russian Foreign Minis
ter Miliukoff from the Allied cause
and his adhesion to that of the Cen
tral Powers. M. NJ. Karpoyitch. an
important member of the embassy
staff, who knows Miliukoff personally,
said:
THE origin of the report NAV be q
Bolshevik or German lie to make the
Allied governments support the Bol.
sheviki by creating the appearance
that the moderate parties of Russia
are antl-Ally. The telegram came
from kiev through Vienna, and as Kicy
$ controlled by the Germans it is more
likely that the lie is of German manu-
facture.
"lt may also be the guess of some
newspaper writer whose only basis for
the report is the fact that Miliukoff
has gone to Kiev. Kev happened to
be the only place he could reach with
any reasonable assurance of safety.
"Miliukof has many friends in the
United States, where he has been sew
eral tirTws. He is one of the most
prominent leaders of the anti German
movement in Russian politics."

Germans Attempt to
Migrate 10 Ukraine
Tax Ridden Populace Seek
Change, but Both Coun-
tries Object

AMSTERDAM, July 19.-An inter
esting sidelight on internal conditions
in Germany is shed by the reports
reaching Berlin from various parts of
the Fatherland, according to kilograms
received here. The ridden popu
lation is desirous of emigrating and
settling in the Ukraine, where, it is
believed farming conditions are easier
and taxation will be lighter.
A warning has been issued against
this proposed emigration. 1t is pointed
out that no permission will be given
by the government authorities for a
long time to persons who wish to emf
CRATE. Moreover, it is added, public
security in the Ukraine still is very
bad, and the popular feeling there is
so anti-German that the Germans in
that country are anxious to get back
to Germany.
The cry comes from Dantzic. on the
Baltic Sea, that this district is in i'm
minent danger of being controlled by
the Poles. The greatest war profteers
there, it seems, are Poles. They are
buying up all the real estate in the
city and vicinity. The Polish Bank
has acquired large edifice in Dantzic.

business men. 1t is said there are po
litical schemes in the background.

NEWARK, N. j. July 1o.-Federa,
intervention in the machinists' strike
is looked for by union officials and bv
the manufacturers. Harvey W Brown
business agent Of the union, is in Wash
ington, conferring with President john
son of the International Association of
Machinsts, who hopes to bring about
an adjustment.
. Arthur H. Torrey, secretary of the
Employers Association of North Jer-
sey, said the shop owners were not
bothering about the demands of the
workers. He added that the places of
the strikers are being filled temporarily
by men from other parts of the plants.
At a meeting of the strikers TODAY c.
p. Gibson, national organizer. reported
that more men had joined the strike
and that several more shops had been
won over. Mr.. Gibson declared that
twenty nine small shops had granted
the union demands.

that the Allied Powers have been ap-
pealed to in the interest of the Czecho-
Slovaks, exposed to destruction by
combined Bolshevik- German attack.
and that the number of these troops
is in excess of 100000. Fifty thousand
of them are organized into military
bodies, equipped and partly armed. The
remaining $4,000 are enrolled, but, be-
cause of the lack of arms and equip
ment, have not been able to organize
International Action
Any action, according to the best
available information, to be taken In
Siberia will be international. with rep
resentatives from the British and
French forces as we'll as Japanese. 1t is
regarded as certain that American
troops will participate. Recent rein
forcements arriving at Vladivostok
from British East Indian and Chinese
ports are believed to have been des~
tined for Siberian operations.
The major forces, however. necessar-
lily would be furnished by Japan. The
probable number cannot be ascertained,
but it is regarded as essential that
there be strong army. especially if
the mission of relief for the Czecho-
Slovaks is to benefit those in the far
interior as we'll as those in Eastern ST.
IBERIA.
Japan, it is said, has very large gar
risons in Southern Manchuria and
Corea, and would be prepared at any
instant to start two columns in mo-
ton. one following the Amur branch
Of the Trans Siberian Railroad, which
is partly controlled by Bolshevik
forces. and the other following the
Chinese Eastern Railway through
Northern Manchuria, the two columns
converglng upon a point near Chta.
Thence the line will be advanced rap
idly to lrkutsk, beyond Lake Baikal, in
the ural Mountains, and to European
Russia. BY pushing into European
Russia, going northwestward, contact
might be established with the Brit
ish-American forces along the route
of the Kola-Petrograd Railway, and
this penetration also would serve to
deprive the Bolsheviki of the use of
the ArchangelV Vologda Railroad. 1t
would also have the effect of depriving
both the Bolsheviki and the Germans
OF supplies from Siberia, and would
hasten the complete destruction of the
former, while interfering with the
plans of the latter exploiting Russia.
1t IS believed japanese officers would
command the expedition, inasmuch as
the majority of troops might be fur
nished by Japan. However, the num-
bor of CzechoSlovak troops available
for service would give the Allies a very
substantial force.

since then they have split into numer-
Gus parties, whose services go to the
highest bidder.
Behrmann further alleges, regarding
"a request for help from the popula-
tion,' that two obscure Russians, one
nm ex-convict and the other a former
gcndarmc, have been travelling around
in the interests Of the Allies collecting
adhesions to the requests by threats or
bribery.
The newspaper prints an Archangel
message to the "Izvestia," of Moscow,
which mentions the arrival there OF
Italian and Serbian officers and men
who, it declares, we're disarmed and ex-
PEELED by the local Soviets.

just returned to Pctrograd from trip
