VLADIVOSTOK. Nov. .

‘ spundenco of The Annealed Press).—

General Gaida's Creche-Slovak: nghb
ing their way through 2,600 miles of
hostile territory furnishes a tale no
less thrilling'than that. related of t‘or-
tea' drive from Vera Cruz to the an
cient Aztec capital in the sixteenth
century. Like his illustrious predecca-
sot, he saw his forces grow as his suc-
cesses multiplied, but his successes,
also like those of the adventurous Span-
iard, were. due to his unflagging cour’
age and ingenious tactics and to the.
loyalty of his men.

When the order came from Perograd
countermanding the permission given.
for the free movement of the Czecho-
Slovaks, toward Vladivostok, it found
them so ting out in a thin line fmmthe
Volga to \ladhostok. A 12day truce
following the first serious clash at
Irkutsk, when the Ilolsheviki under-
took to disarm a trainload of Fuchs,
applied only to Eastern Siberia and
was utilized by Gaida‘s men to got a
running start for the plunge through
the thickest of the struggle. ’l‘hereatl
for his policy appears to have been to
constantly prepare and execute. some
new sut‘prise,,until the enemy was in
such a state of nerves that the ap-
proach ot' a body of” (‘zechoSlovaka, no
matter how small, was likely tothrow
him into a panic.

Assisted by t'osaacka and by Czechs
from (fhiliabinak, Colonel Kadlets,
then commander of the Czech forces
west of Irkutsk, fought his way west
to Omsk, taking towns en route. lle
improved the time during the armis-
tice to clean up the line westward to
the Urals.

Meantime .witb resumption of hos-
tilities to the eastward the Czech-Sit):
vak forces between Krasnoyarsk and
Irkutsk found themselves bard press-l
ed and near to the end of their re-l
acumen. Kadlcts doubled back easel
ward and by a series of flanking mow:
manta, falling upon the Bolahevfltl in
the night, stampeded them. time after
time. in this way he pushed through
to the relief of his countrymen at
Krasnoyamk and Irkutsk.

From lrkutak to the southernmost
point of Lake Baikal there are forty-
one tunnels. It was the Caechs’ aim
to clear out the Bolshcvlkl without
giving them time to blow up these tun-
nels and, to that end. they started a
small contingent overland to surprise
the Bolaltovikl beyond the series of
tunnels. These men marched four
days under greatest difficulties. They
became so pressed for food supplies
that they had to eat their horses. But
they accomplished their object. They
attacked the Bolahevlkf' in the middle
of the night. captured their machine
guns and started them northward in
disorder. The Bolahevikl «needed
in blowing up one funnel the last one
in the series.

The Clocks and their Russian allies
now had a clear track to the southern
extremity of the lake, to a vlhage
named Blnjlanlta. where the blocked
tunnel presented a serious obstacle to
further progress. They dragged a few
light guns over the ridge and marched
several contingenta of troops around
the obstruction only to find the Bolshe-
viki mailed in force some twenty
miles beyond. The Czechs and Rug-
sinus auffercd heavy losses in the
lighting here and were forced back to
within a few miles of the tunnel.

Meantime the Czechs had cleared
the tunnel sufficiently to pass troops
through, on foot. General Gafda, who
had succeeded Colonel Kadlcta in
command, caused decoy tnesaages to
fall into the enemy's bands, begging
for help and declaring that the tunnel
was hopelessly blocked and he in des-
pernte. straits, surrounded and at the
end of his resources. The Bolahcvlki
thereupon moved southward, in high
,apirite, throwing aside all caution.
Bands played and their progress was,
in the. nature of a triumphal march. |

A few miles from the tunnel they
ran into an ambush which completely
tleniorallzed them. Machine guns rak-
ed them from the hillsides and field
guns shelled them front and rear. _A
tattered remnant of the Bolahcvik
army fled northward with the few
trains they were able to save.

thus detected will then be reported by
the State Council to the proper mili-
tary authorities.

‘The very widest publicity shouldbe
given to this new order of the War De
partment, as the widespread knowl-
edge of the fact that information con-
cerningdeserlers is disseminated in
this way will greatly discourage deser-
tion." says a Government bulletin to
the (‘onncctieut council. ‘it is espe-
cially important, however, that you
keep up lllt constructive part of" the

lic condemnation of desertion. as this
Will do more to eliminate thc ciil than

In a letter to the commanding trill
cers of all departments, divisions, tlivi~
sional cantonments and independent
commands in the l'nitcd States. Itiajor
General I’. C. Harris, Adjutant General
of the l'nitcd States Army, pointed out
that by cooperation with the several
State Councils of Defense the appre-
hension of deseitcrs will be much fa-
ciiitated, inasmuch as the State Coun-
ciis have branches reaching to all com
munities in their i-espectiveutates. in
this connection it is desired that the
payment of the. authoribed rewards or
expenses be expedited in every possi-
ble way. General Harris directed
commanding officers to render to the
State (‘ouucils concerned a bi-weekly
report containing the full name, rank
an dot-ganlzation of the soldier, the
soldier's home address, explanation as
to whether the soldier is absent with-
out leave or in desertion. and a list of
soldiers previously reported who have
been apprehended.

Mr. Hurley's letter follows:

“What can women do for the Ameri-

“What can the American Merchant
Marine do for women!

"More and more the women of the
United States create the ntiuonce
which we call “public opl n.” and
which shapes and guides the policies
of the Nation. American women sup
ported peace until they saw that war
was necessary in defense of humanity.
Then they threw themaelcva into war
wholeheartedly. When peace returns
they will throw themselves into the,
intricate problems of reconstruction}
Women want to know, always,
they act. In thousands of study clubs,
and similar organizations they are con-l
stantly seeking to learn facts about
public questlons. When they know,
then they act, and generally on the
right aide.

“The American Merchant Marine
Wm be one of the biggest factors in
reconstruction. War has led us to
think in world terms. After the war
we musteacrve the world with our
ships, help other nations develop by
purchasing their products, and pay for
their products with our goods. We are
building a merchant fleet of about 25,-
000,000 tons of shipping. Ships alone
will not make an American Merchant
Marine. There must be public support
and wise laws, based on popular un.
derstandlng. The reason we have not
had ships since the Civil War. and
then only ten per cent. of our world
trade was canted in American ships,
is that we have not been shipminded.
Public opinion did not think ships.
Now we must think ships, and than
we \vlll have them. The connection is
absolutely clear—in so far as women
help make American public opinion
they can help establish and maintain
the American Merchant Marine.
