car, but seemed content with his
allotment Of land which was usually
adequate to his needs. He was, how
ever, decidedly antagonistic to the
Kolchak government, partly due to
its japanese control and for this rea-

BEFORE WORLD WAR
IN ADDRESS TO CLUB
Women Of Wednesday Club
Hear Major A. c. Young Re-
count His Experiences

A picture of conditions in eastern
Siberia at the close of the World War
together with personal experiences Of
&c months spent there between Au-
gust. 1918, and April, 1920. were given
by Major A. c. Young, U. S. A., at a
meeting of the Wednesday Study club
at the Young home, 600 West Broad
way. this week. The club Is conduct
ing a study of the Russian revolution
and the aims and plans of the Soviets.
At the time the American expedi-
tionary force was sent to Siberia, two
governments were in existence: the
Reds in European Russia and the
Kolchak government at Omsk in ST.
IBERIA, Major Young said. The latter
one was recognized by the United
States and most European nations
and was the one with which the ex-
peditionary force was to cooperate.
AS preface to his talk Major
Young explained the situation which
had been brought about as result Of
the overthrow OF the Russian govern
ment.
Soldiers Switched Sides
I'm November, 1917. there were in
Ukrania and southern Russia some
1OO, 900 Czechs and Slovak soldiers who
originally had been in the service OF
Austria Hungary, but who had gone
over to the Russians In the hope OF
fighting for their independence on
the side of the Allies" he said.
There also was an appreciate
number of German prisoners of war
in camps in Siberia who had been
turned loose when the Russian gov
eminent went to pieces. 1t had been
reported that these Germans were
attempting to organize into military
units for the purpose of capturing
immense quantities of military stores
left at Vladivostok by the Russian
army. and by means of the trans
Siberian railways furnish Germany
with war supplies"
1t was to prevent such a move
that the allies sent troops into ST.
IBERIA. Major Young pointed out.
From the outset" the speaker
said, 'our mission was more diplo-
