The situation in Eastern Siberia was greatly improved last week
The Crecho-Slovaks advancing eastward from Lake Baikal took Chita, where the Manchurian and Amur Railways diverge, and on Tuesday week effected a junctipn with General Semenoff's Cossaoks working westward from Manchuria. Railway communica- tion from Vladivostok through Siberia with the Czecho-Slovaks on the Volga was thus assured. On Friday week the Japanese cavalry, after a rapid march along the Ussuri Valley, entered Khabarovsk, the German and Bolshevik base on the Amur. The enemy is now isolated in the Amur Valley, where he can do little mischief. The intervention of the Allies has thus been speedily justified. In Northern Russia the Allied troops have pushed far to the south of Archangel, and may soon be able to join hands with the Czecho- Slovaks and their Russian comrades on the Upper Volga.
