ALLIES' DILEMMA IN EAST.
RELIEF OF CZECH TROOPS. USE OF JAPANESE DEBATED. United Service. LONDON, Sept. 25. The Pekin correspondent of the Times states that the situation in the Far East is complicated by developments in Siberia, where large Czech forces are guarding the railway westward of Irkutsk. These forces will shortly be withdrawn, and Bolshevik irregulars are likely to cut the railway, jeopardising Omsk, the headquarters of Admiral Koltchak. The Japanese are the only troops available to replace the Czechs, and the question of using them in the Chinese portion of North Manchuria needs careful consideration, otherwise the Allies may precipitate another Chinese imbroglio rivalling Shantung.
