BOLSHEvIkI TROOPS
 ARE BEING DEFEATED
MAY BE BEGINNING OF CAM PAIGN TO RESTORE RUSSIAN
 ARMY INTO ACTIVE oP-
 POSITION TO GERMANY

Washington, June 15.-Unexpeeted developments in central Siberia where Czech-Slavok regiments are gaining apparently marked successes against the soviet troops, were re- garded here today as possibly mark ing the advent of conditions in Rus sia which the entente allies have been awaiting as preliminary to the adoption of strong measures to pre- vent the further extension of German control over Russia. Officials have long held the belief that continua- tion of German control would ter minate in the actual use of Russian soldiers in the German army and for that reason means have been sought for the beginning of a campaign to restore the Russian army into active opposition to Germany.
 Already whether under compulsion or because of secret utilization with Germany, the Bosheviki government has been supplying the German army with food and other necessities and unconfirmed reports have reached Washington that Russians in consid- erable numbers already are in the German military service.
 Private advices even go so far as to state that by the beginning of next year whatever remains of the Rus sian army will be under the German flag if effective steps are not taken at once.
 The history of the Czeehs-slav movement in Russia as reported to Washington is almost without preced- ent in time of war. Many thousand Czechs- -Slavs deserted from the Aus tro- Hungarian armies into Russia in the early days of the war. They were attached to the Russian army under the sole condition that they should not Do obliged to fight their fellow Czechs and slavs stiu on the Aus trlan side
