ANARCHY IN SIBERIA
USELESS CONFLICT RAGING
(PUBLISHED -IN THE TIMES.)
LONDON, 14th July. The Tokio correspondent of The Times, writing on Bth July, states that the Czecho-Slovaks have occupied Nicolaeivsk, driving out the Bolshevik and German supporters. A conflict is proceeding at all the Amur ports, while- south of Irkutsk an interminable struggle continues, from which no stabilising results are possible. Daily reports of factional victories, defeats, occupations, and abandonments fill the newspapers, signifying that anarchy reigns supreme. Whoever is victorious in such warfare cannot relieve the situation, and will only prolong the sufferings of the populations of this vast region, while the enemy will profit by tightening his grip in European Russia, and poisoning the simple Russians against the Allies. Four thousand Germans are still at liberty in China. There is no prospect of deportation to Australia, though China has established a bureau for this purpose in Japan. The Germans were never more prosperous, and are moving about unhampered by the ineffective official rules.
