STRUGGLES IN SIBERIA.
CONFLICTS ON THE AMUR. GERMANS FREE IN CHINA. (Received 8.10 p m.) Times. LONDON. July 14. The Tokio correspondent of the Times, writing on July 8, states The Czechoslovaks have occupied Nicolaievsk, driving out the Bolsheviks and German supporters. A conflict is proceeding at all the Amur ports, while south of Irkutsk an interminable conflict continues from which no stabilising results are possible. Daily reports of factional victories, defeats, occupation*, and abandonments fill the newspapers, signifying that anarchy reigns supreme. Whoever may be victorious, such warfare cannot relieve the situation, and can only prolong the sufferings of the populations of the vast region, while the enemy profits by tightening his grip on European Russia and poisoning the simple Russians against the allies.
Four thousand Germans are still at liberty in China, with no prospect of their deportation to Australia, though China has established a bureau for that purpose in Japan. The Germans were never more prosperous, moving unhampered by ineffective official rules.
