BITTER WAR RENEWED

Recrudescence Of Bolshevist ac-
tiyities along the Chinese border
for a drive through the Moham-
medan corridor to conntct up with
the operations Of the Red army In
Persia was scented in Washington
yesterday when dispatches from ST.
IBERIA reported that the truce be-
tween the Bolshevists and Haupt-
man Semanoff had been broken and
that all indications pointed toward
the renewal of bitter warfare be-
tween the factions that are seek
ing control of Siberia.
The Chinese. the cable received
by the State Department said, are
attempting to create a neutral zone
along the Chinese-Manchurian bor-
der as the first outbreak is feared
at Manchuria station. Semanoff, II
was reported, had refused to agree
to such q request and was prepar-
ing for an extensive defensive cam
paign.
The danger in the situation, ac-
cording to officials who have kept
In touch with developments In ST.
IBERIA is that the Bofshevists will
succeed ins forcing Semanoff into
China and then sweep through to
the north of India. obtaining re-
cruits from the wild tribes that are
In a more or less constant state of
revolt against British rule, and af-
feet a junction with the forces that
have just defeated Gen. Wrangel
and are expected to make a drive
next into the Persian district.
Reports which this government
has received from Russia In very
recent days have given hints of a
military campaign that the Reds
intended to make in Siberia. Up to
the present time the native popula-
tion east of Lake Baikal has not
been interfered with. and although
there have been outbreaks which
were characterized as Bolshevist
there has been no determined ef-
fort on the part of the Moscow
government to bring Siberia under
its dominion.
With all opposition removed in
the West the belief Is expressed
here that the Reds may intend to
occupy Siberia and at the same
time make a flank attack to con-
meet with the Chinese army.

The sway is particularly favorable
