The advices déclare that the sup- porters ‘of Grand Duke Nicholas have overthrown the.’ Soviets © throughout the Séaerian ‘provinces: of Irkutsk, \plagovieshtichensk and Khabarovsk. The defeat of the Bolsheviki is said to have-been made possible by the. victoriés"6f the Czecho-Sloyak forces and the treachery of the Red Guard. - Several detachments of the Red Guard are declared to have murdered their officers and hen surrendered. The exchange telegraph company publishes its message containing the report sof the Bolshevik overthrow and the accompanying details “with reserve” and point out that the in- formation emanated mainly from Ger- man sources and. therefore should be received with caution. The Bolsheviki government 'pledg- ed itself to recognize Austro-German Hegemony in Poland and to aid in defending it against the former al- lies of Russia. The Cracow. newspaper describes the treaty as a “scandalous document showing the treachery of the Bolshev- iki and the baseness of the Germans.” It gives the gist of the eight articles of the agreement as follows: Germany Supremé. First. ‘The Polish policy shall be conducted by Germany. Second. The Russian government pledges itself not to interfere with the grganization of Poland. Third. The, Russian government may keep in touch with democratic and revolutionary clubs in Poland through agitators known to the Ger- man information bureau. Fourth. The sending of agitators to Germany and Austria shall be sus- pended by the Russian government. Fifth. Russia shall exercise strict | vigilance over Polish national groups so as to prevent them from enlisting in the Russian territorial army. To Aid Huns. Sixth. Russia shall consider viola- tion of the frontiers of Lithuania and the Ukraine by Polish troops as a dec- laration of war.on Germany and Aus- tria-Hungary and shall aid in crush- ing such troops. Seventh. Russia shall prevent Rus- sian citizens from investing their own or French, British or American capital in any industrial undertaking in Po- land. * f Eighth. Russia pledges itself to rec- ognize the things to be created by Germany and Austria in Poland and to defend it against Russia’s former allies. BOLSHEVIKS OVERTHROWN London.
