FIGHTiNG IN SIBERIA. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) Received July 18, 5.5 p.m. PEKIN, July 16. _ The Bolsheviks were defeated by the Czecho-Slovaks northward of Vladivostok and are retreating towards Khabarovsk. Chinese, Japanese and Cossacks are aiding the Czecho-Slovaks. Harbin reports that the Czecho-Slovaks defeated the Bolsheviks near Chita on the Trans-Siberian railway.
LATER AMERICAN-JAPANESE INTERVENTION. PROPOSED IN WASHINGTON. Received Julv 19, 1.45 a.m. LONDON, July 18. Washington has proposed joint American-Japanese intervention in Siberia. INTERVENTION IN SIBERIA. EARLY ALLIED ACTION. JAPANESE-AMERICAN AGREEMENT. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) Received July 19, 1 p.m. LONDON, July 18.
The Daily Chronicle's diplomatic cor-' respondent foreshadows immediate Allied intervention in Siberia following the Czecho-Slovaks' arrival in Yladivostock. Mr Wilson has modified his earlier views, and no longer waits a formal invitation from the Soviet before considering Allied action in Russia justified. There is every reason to believe that an active agreement between Tokio and Washington is approaching. Japan, however, is not so enthusiastic for intervention as before. The Government is still favourable, but there is opposition in commercial circles.
