Still Anybody's
Race for Control
in East Siberia

Vladivostok, Friday. Nov. Shy
The Associated Press)-An internal
situation exists in eastern Siberia
relative to military authority be-
tween General kalmikoff, Cossack
commander on the Ussuri river
front; General Semenoff, who has
been prominent in the anti-Bolshe-
vik councils here; Lieutenant Gen
eral Horvath, one of the leaders in
the same movement, and General
lvanoff, minister of war in the
Omsk cabinet.
Kalmikoff, Semenoff and Hor-
vath came here recently to confer
with the war minister but after
several days Kalmikoff heard that
General Iyanhoff had threatened to
subdue him by. force if he did not
yield to the authority OF the Omsk
government. He left here without
paying his respects. SemenOff fol-
lowed him toward Khabarovsk and
attempted to mediate between the
two men but succeeded only in OBJ
tanning recognition as brother
Hetman.
There are three Cossack armies.
One is in eastern Siberia, one in the
Baikal region and one along the
Amur river The latter is now
united with the Cossack forces
along the Ussuri front and only
one, General Semenoff's troops in
the Baikal region, recognize the
Omsk government.
The imperial Russian statue at
Nevilsk, which was torn down by
the Bolshevik has been replaced
during a religious and political Gel
ebration in which all the non-So-
cialist groups participated as a
symbol of the reconstruction of
Russia. Allied observers consider
the celebration of a reactionary
character.
