CZECHS EXPLAIN THE KOLOHAK SURRENDER. IMPEDED EVACUATION,
The following statement was issued by the Czecho Slovak Information Bureau at Harbin :-

The Czechs were rürced to fight not only |for their independence but for their very lives. 2urning back froi Vladivostock they waged, an unceasing way on the Reds and drove them out of Siberia and back as far as the Volga All Siberia united with them in the struggm and soon there was a national Siberian Assembly, which cancied the Breat Litovsk Treaty
The Allies also requested the Czechs to stay in Resia and promised them aid at the earliest possible moment. The Czechs entered the struggle with willingness as they wanted to help the Russians in their Eight for independence and, at the same time, renew the Eastern Front against the Germans. They gave every posible help to the democratic element end
COLLAPSE OF CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY, Then came the collapse of the Constitu- ent Assembly in November of 1918, just on the eve of its recognition by the Allied Governmenta The military-party came Into the pendency and appointed Ad | míra, Kolchak as Supreme Dictator. This coup d'efat was never recognized by the principles for which they had fought and were still willing to fight. By orders of General Stefanik the Czech army was withdrawn from the front and from February, 1610, devoted itself to the guarding of the railroad, on the sector between Omsk and Irkutsk
By every means Kolchak endeavoured to bring the Czechs back into the aght, but it was all in vain. Instead of upholding Kolchak, they were very often found pro tecting the people from the abuse and tyranny of the Kolchak troops. They re mained true to the democratic ideals and could not, and would not, lend their aid to a government that had established itself by violence and was maintaining itself by the same measures.
BABY STAGES HAS MA The period of dormancy is fixed at 40 years. At the end of that time it is re commended that the banks abould inform the Master of the Holk, or some such public official, of the fact, and that 12 months should be shoved for a search for the maing owner. If the owner cannot be found the box would be opened, and a further search would be prosecuted with the more detailed information which would then be available If, st the end of another four years, the owner could not be traced, the articles would be sold by auction, and the proceeds would be paid into the Exchequer. Provision would be made for handing over articles of artistic of historic interest to public galleries' or museums,
If it were found, when a box W opened, that it contained papèra, 10 yesia would elapse before any action would be taken." If the ownee could not then be traced the papers would be examined, and further stops would be taken to trave him. Final action would be deferred for a further 20 years The papers might then be destroyed if they were of no interest or value. If, however, they were worth preserving, discretion as to their use would be left in the hands of the public official nominated for the purpose. The Committee, however, recoinmends that even after the ison of 80 years this official should be given authority to maintain an indefinite period of secrecy.
