SITUATION IN SIBERIA.
THE SPREAD OF BOLSHEVISM. JAPAN TO STEM IT. By Tslsjtapb—lVeas Asan.—Copyright. Tokio, Jan. 20. It is not expected that large reinforcements will. be sent to Siberia, but the Japanese intend to prevent the eastward spread of the Bolsheviks. Ardent militarists favor the dispatch of ten divisions to clear the country as far as Lake Baikal. THE RAILWAY IN DANGER. COUNTRY TURNING "RED." London, Jan. 19. The British, French and Japanese diplomatic staffs have arrived at Harbin. They agree that Siberia is turning Red, and that it will be impossible to reconstitute an anti-Bolshevik Government westward of Manchuria. The savagery of Semenoff's forces has roused the whole of trans-Baikalia to such an extent that the populace would welcome a Bolshevik regime. The Japanase, who long supported Semenoff, share the opinion that the anti-Bolsheviks will be unable to hold the railway without enormous reinforcements. Koltchak and his staff are under arrest at Irkutsk, which is now wholly Bolshevik. An unconfirmed report from Chita asserts that the Reds have destroyed a Polish division.
