Order is Being Restored in South | 'Bustern Russia--The Bolsheviki Are Unable to Attack the Victors. Moscow, Aug. 20 (via Stockholm) The Czecho-Slovak troops, by at- tacking the railroad at two points in the Province of Simbirsk (south- west of Moscow), have compelled the Bolsheviki to retreat from Oufa to avoid capture. Thus the Czecho- Slovaks are in undisputed possession of the raflroad from Samara into Si- heria. (Oufa is on the trans-8i- berian Railroad about 250 miles north-east of Samara, the latter be- ing 560 miles sout.-east of Mos cowl. Though the Bolsheviki print daily comiminigues telling of victories against the Ceecho-Slovaks, they are not true, as the oply contact be- tween the opposing armies is when the Czecho-Slovaks are attacking at Exaterinberg (where the Czar was assassinated, in Siberia, just beyond the Ural mountains), and in Sim- birsk. The only part of the Bolsheviki troops able to stand against the Czecho-Slovaks are the Letts, but even they are refusing to meet the iCzechoSlavaks' attacks with the Red Armies' poor support. So the latest victories of the Czecho-Slovaks in Simbirsk are Increasingly easy. Simbirsk is important, as it gives control of the Volga, threatening Kazan, Misanl and Novgorod. and thus more remotely showed up weakness of Bolsheviki [The only portion of the anti-Bol- sheviki troops threatened are those of Krasuev and Alexieff in the Don * country. ' Krasmov's position toward the Germans in Ukraine is doubtful, he ed an alliance ; ough, with "them, he is presenting a. common front against the Bolsheviki. Alexieff Neutral. Krasnov is reported to be lending artillery to Alexieff with a force of 15,000 men to help him eseape from the neighborhood of Novocherbask to Tsaritsin, because thes Germans are threatening him. Alexieff is re- ported to have refused to take sides with she, Germans the Bolsheviki i. Against are still able to boast some success Rgcause of the running of an armor- train line to Voromej and Tsarit-| sin, thouph the 'Cossacks parallel it on the tributarfes on the Don. This part of the anti-Bolsheviki fight is the same footless fighting that has been going on in these regions for the past under the screen of the Orenburg normal order that the Bolsheviki never will be able to re- turn so long as the Czecho-Slovaks are there.

THE GERMANS DEMAND . THEIR COLONIES BACK Pan-German Party Bay This Is Sine Qua Non of eace. Amsterdam, Aug. 20.--A great campaign is being opened in the Ger- man press in order to stir up opinion regarding the Fatherland's lost col- onies, Those running this propagan- da have enlisted the support, among others, of the Crown Prince, Hinden- burg and Ludendorff, in a message published in the press the Crown Prince says: "For those who, thrown on their own resources, defended Germanism in the remote paris of the world no word or act of thanks is great and proud enough." Hindenburg declares: "Without colonies there can be mo guarantee regarding raw material; without raw material there ean be no industry; without industry there will be insuf- ficient prosperity. Therefore, we Ger- mans must have colonies." Ludendorfl's messagé says: 'The colonfes are inseparable from that German future for which we fight and for which we must conquer." The messages are accompanied by articles insisting that the return of the German colonies is a sine qua non for peace, BONDED CARS ROBBED ONLY WHISKEY TAKEN Eight Arrested in Windsor and Farmers Now Won't Dig So Much. Windsor, Aug. 20.--Eight men are now under arrest here in connection with the plan to rob by wholesale bonded cars passing through Windsor on the Michigan Central Railroad, James Peloquin, one of the men held, is said to have made a full confession to the police of how the cars were backed up on a side track in the yards to a convenient spot where they were looted by the gang who carried away only liguor. The waybills show- ed cars in which liquot*'" was being shipped and it was these cars that were side-tracked and robbed, accord- ing to Peloquin, who is a switchman. After being removed from the cars the whiskey was "cached" in different parts of the county, and farmers in certain localities are said to be show- ing unusual energy in turning up the earth on the farms where they lie close to the railroad tracks. Fully half a carload of whiskey is buried, the police believe, CARL I8 GETTING VERY INDEPENDENT About to Name Anti- rman Professor to Head New Cabinet. o---- Paris, Aug. 20.--The Czech news- paper in Prague says.it is informed that Emperor Charles has decided to create a commission to study the projéct of radically reforming . the Austrign constitution, with a view te transforming the Dual Monarchy into w confederation of autonomaus states, comprising five . federal kingdoms, Austria, Bohemia, Poland, Jugo-8la< via and Hungary.
