PEKING, China, Nov. 17-Antt-bol-
shevist forces in Siberia have been
driven across the Manchurian border
at Manchuli, according to official Chi
nese reports today.
Dispatches from Harbin said Gen
eral Semenoff, antibolshevfst leader,
had been routed and that his troops
fled in disorder.
General Izome, Japanese command
er, was said to have warned the boil
shevist troops they must not follow
the defeated army.
The Japanese are rushing troops to
Manchuli to enforce order.
Bolshevik troops have occupied k1a-
khta and seized all private property.
Manchuli is the first railway town
inside the Manchurian boundary. The
trans Siberian railway there connects
with the Chinese eastern road. 1t is
500 miles northwest of Harbin, where
General Izome has his headquarters,
and where the Chinese eastern road
splits sending one branch to Pek1ng
and the other to Vladivostok.
Siberia has been the scene OF desul-
tory fighting for many weeks. Resum-
ption of the bolshevist drive there
came jointly with the sweeping sue
cesses of red troops in Crimea and re-
newal of an offensive against UkranlA.

Honorio Puerrydon, Argentine dele
gate, argued today for the admission
of all sovereign states to the league,
unless they decline invitations to
join.
Victory gives no right to the vic
tor, in the leagues estimation, he
said, and declared that if some states
were to be excluded there would be
the danger of the formation of an
other league.
Furthermore, he said. it might ap-
pear that the league of nations is
merely an organization for the Hqui-
dation OF the war, not powerful
society to insure peace.
Puerrydon regretted the absence
Of the United States, and said he
hoped a formula for her admittance
could be found.
