Before Semnenoff could effect his rescue, Koltchak was shot. The Czecho-Slovaks, who were 18 miles from Irkutsk had been ordered by their Government not to interfere in the internal politics of the country, and General Janin himself was at the time many miles from the town.
The General reiterated that he had had nothing to do with the surrender of Kolchak, and expressed the con- viction that Koltebak bad his own brutality and obstinate disregard of advice to blame for his death, which he suffered, not at the hands of the Bolsheviks from Omsk, but at the hands of the local Social Revolution- aries whose bitter hatred he had provoked by the atrocity at Lake Baikal
In response to the question, "Do you think the Allies did much good in Siberia?" the General smiled and gave an expressive shrug of his broad shoulders. But, yes," he said. "It was like seed falling on arone!"""
The seed might come up? No, he did not think so. Seed sown on stane never came up.
"But did not the Allies believe that they were not wasting time, men, and money in attempting to stem the tide of Bolshevism in Siberia and reduce chaos to order?" inquired our representative.
The National Council-Supreme Council, you say?-cf Paris thought so," replied the general, "But it is one thing to plan in Paris and an other to act in Siberia!"
So now the Allies are all leaving Siberia?"?
"Yes, it is enough-la whimsical laugh)-it is enough!”
