Czecho-SIouak Acts
Prevent Traffic on
Siberian, Railroad
by The Associated Press)

MOSCOW, June 6.-The Czecho-
Slovak movement against the Bolshevik
government not only has cut off COM
munication with Siberia by way Of the
Siberian railway but also has stopped
traffic on the River Volga, according
to report from Mini Novgorod. Since
the seizure of the Volga bridge near
Syzran by the Czecho- -Slovaks grain
movements by steamer north from
Samara have been brought to stand
still. Thousands of "bagmen" are en-
gagged in carrying away the grain con.
gested at Mini Novgorod and other
north river points which are withou,
bread.
Before the Czecho-Slovak interrup.
ton Of traffic steamer movements or
the Volga have been hampered by lacL
Of oil, as most of the steamers are oil
burners. A shortage Of food and YES.
sells at Baku has been preventing OF
shipments to Astrakhan, and as a re
suit the Volga River feet is paralyzet
and factories along the river have beer
closed. The blockade of the river al
Syzran by the Czecho-Slovaks and at
tacks made on grain boats at othe,
points by hungry crowds have forced
the few ships still provided with OF
to cease operations.

LONDON, June 1S.-The Central
Executive Committee Of the Russian
Soviets took a drastic step Friday IN
deciding to expel members represent
ing the Social Revolutionists. the
Right, the Centre and the Mensheviki,
according to a Russian wireless mes
sage received here. All local councils

1.-THE authority of the councils, pre-
siding through an extremely difficult
period, is being attacked simulta-
neously by international imperialism
or all fronts and its coadjutors within
the Russian republic who are in con-
f1ict with the government Of the work
men and peasants. They employ the
most contemplate means, including
shameful calumny, conspiracy and re-
volt"
1t is declared also that it has been
established clearly that representa-
tives of the ousted parties, including
the most responsible members, have
been found guilty of organizing an
armed revolt against the workmen and
peasants, and, in it, acted in alliance
with the counter revolutionaries; con

kaledine and Korniloff; in the Urals,
in conjunction with General Dutoff; in
Siberia, in conjunction with Semeno.f

Last So Days

LONDON, June 1s.--Great Britain's
daily average expenditure during the
current financial quarter was s6,S4S,0O0
(S34,240. .000), said Andrew Bonar Law,
Chancellor of the Exchequer, in intro
ducing vote of credit for 100000, 900
($2,500, ,000.o .o00) in the House # Com
mons to-day, which was later passed.
Mr.. Bonar Law said that the present
vote, which would bring the total war
credits to s7,342,000,O0o 1886, ,0o0,-
000). would cover expenditures until
the end Of August.
The debt due Great Britain from her
allies is 81 f1,S70,000,0o0 (S6,s50 900 ,0o0),
Mr.. Bonar Law said, while the domin-
ions owe s2Os, 100000 (s1, 100000 ,ooo).
An analysis of the expenditures for
sixty-nine days. ended June 8, said Mr..
Bonar Law, showed that while the esti-
mated expenditures for that period had
been s482, 100000 O,000.000), the
actual expenditures had been f472 ,500,-
900 (S2,362, ,500.000).

ended with June 8, there was a diminu-
tion of expenses below the estimate for
four of the fighting forces-army, navy,
munitions and the air. This diminu-
tion amounted to e15,200,000 (s76,0O0,-
0o0), of which a13.50O00o (s67, ,00O)
was oD the Admiralty account. Of this
amount f10,000,000 (s50,000,000) was
due to the expenditures for merchant
ships, being below the estimate which
was formulated for the whole year and
which he hoped would be realized.
Mr.. Bonar Law estimated the daily
expenditure was f6,986,000 (S34,93O,-
000I, against the daily average during

AMSTERDAM. June 18.-The new
government in the Ukraine has not
succeeded to any noticeable extent in
curbing the anarchic conditions prev

the Berlin "Taegliche Rundschau." On
the contrary, adds the message, these
conditions appear to have assumed
menacing proportions recently in some
districts. There are daily arrests of
revolutionary Socialist agitators.
The activity of agitators, who are
planning new resolution, is percepti-
tinue, while the majority Of the Uk-

regime. The collection Of foodstuffs,

against what he termed a monopoly in

take war pictures without Mr. Creel's
consent, and that Mr.. Creel has the

William A. Brady, of New York, presi-

Of New York, representing the Famous

Brady said Creel offered the pictures to
every motion picture company on a
competitive bid basis and that the
award was made to the highest bidder.
Mr.. Powers also complained that the

committee that those pictures are pri.
vately controlled for distribution in
the United States by Captain Baynes

to make deal with an American ex.

the largest profit for their use.
