ALLIES UPSET
GEN. HORvATH'S
DICTATORSHIP
Authority of New Siberian
Government Is Established;
All ATchangeI Freed From
the RoIsheviki.

Washington, Aug. 28,-Complete
failure of the attempt Of General Hor-
vath, the anti-bolshevist leader, to
establish dictatorship in Siberia is re-
ported in advices today from Vladi-
vostok. Representatives OF the allies
at Vladivostok intervened to uphold
the authority of the new government
there.
General Horvath is. representative
of the old school of Russian auto
cracy, having been an appointee OF
the ex-czar. He has been for many
wears in the far east, where he has
been manager OF the Russian Manchu-
rian railroad. Soon after the over
throw of the car he joined forces
with the revolutionists in attempting
to restore government of some sort
in eastern Siberia. Recently he has
been fighting the bolsheviki and Ger
man-Austrian prisoners OF war.
] Allies Hailed by Populace.
/ Archangel, Russia, Aug. B.-With
The voluntary surrender OF the town
OF Shenkursk on the Waga river, south
OF Archangel, to the representatives
OF the new government, the last town
OF any size in the government OF
Archangel, passed out of the hands
OF the bolsheviki. The reception CIV
en- the allied troops at one OF the
more important villages in the pro-
vince was typical. Here the elders
met the troops on the road and well
coined them. The people gave up
their best houses for billets and hailed
the soldiers as the saviors OF Russia.

Few Special Trains Will
Run to Lincoln State Fair

Special train service to the state fair
at Lincoln next week is going to be
the lightest ever known. This is
principally due to the fact that the
roads operating into Lincoln have no
extra equipment that they can spare,
almost everything being in the regu-
lar service. or being used to handle
troop movements.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
the Burlington will run special train
from Wymore. and Tuesday. Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday a special
train from Holdrege to Hastings,
where connections will be made with
the regular trains into Lincoln.

second time the enemy troops were
called upon to counter-attack. This
time, it is reported, the whole body
refused and only a few patrols were
seen by the British.
All sorts of troops have been
hurled into the battle south OF the

most as soon as they appeared. The

There was also heavy fighting IN

The Croisiles region before and after
that town was, stormed and captured
this forenoon. Fierce fighting has
been reported from Croisilles ridge

be fleeing from Bullecourt and the
surrounding country. The capture OF
Croisilles eliminates spot which

Sanguinary losses have been in
flicted on the Germans in all the
fighting in this general region. Brit
ish guns placed back of Croisilles

many places, particularly in the
neighborhood of Hendecourt. The
gunners have had the unusual expert
ence OF seeing where every shot fired
fell and noting the damage each did
The enemy artillery, retiring from
the rear OF Hendecourt, offered fine
target, and shells were sent raining
into the fleeing columns, cutting
great gaps in them.

by the Canadians, was the scene oil

calibers maintained a heavy fire from
strong positions west of the canal.
After Chaulnes fell, Gommecourt, tc
the north, and Sept fours were taken
while later Cressy. Balatre, Champier
and Roiglise, between Nesle and
Roye, were captured and more than
score of other villages occupied.
The battle field the Germans have
abandoned presents picture OF de-
vastation and desolation that has not
been surpassed during the war. Roye
and the villages round about have
been quite as thoroughly demolished
as Montdidier and Moreuil.
Towns Eliminated.
Even cemeteries have been blown
I'D. tombstones smashed and graves
opened. The names of towns in this
region no longer have any other
significance than as reminiscence
and a geographical designation. They
have ceased to exist as towns. lheir
sites are hardly recognizable. for the
intense shelling has not only OBJ
liberated streets and detaeed boundary
lines but has rendered the topography
unrecognizable in many places.
The ruins abandoned by the Ger
mans previously were carefully hlled
with mustard gas. For this reason
Roye is still inaccessible for occupa-
ton.
The Germans were not able to use
all the gas projectiles they brought
to the present front and large dumps
of them fell into French hands: They
are now being fred against the en-.
emy from some of the hundreds OF
German guns the French first army
has taken since August ..
Closing In On Noyon.
The French third army also attack
ed, occupying Dives and pushing to
Vauchelles, less than half mile from
Noyon.
With the French in possession OF
NoyoA, the Germans will have only
their positions to the northeast, in
the hills along the Disc. and in the
northwest on the west bank OF the
canal Du Nord, to protect their re-
treat to the forest of St. Gobain and
the Hindenburg line.
1t is not considered possible that
the Jerman retreat will halt on the
Oise, French patrols reaching the re-
gion of Bethancourt this afternoon.
The crossing of the canal and the
river Somme in that region by the
French troops would create the great
est menace to the enemy's troops and
material. This prospect explains the
sacrifice of an immense quantity of
material in the region between Roye
and the canal in order to accelerate
the retrograde movement.
Thrown Into Disorder
Paris, Aug. 28.-The German forces
have been thrown into disorder by
the advance of the French troops to-
wards the river Somme. The retreat
of the enemy in the direction of the
east and the northeast on the whole
front held by the French troops be-
tween Chaulnes and Noyon is being
accelerated by the armies of Generals
Debeney and Humbert.
