3 CZECHS ATTACK CAPITAL OF Army of 12,000 Thrown Into i Operations Against City V. of Khabarovsk, iTRATEGIC MOVE PENDING Junction to Be Effected With Forces From Irkutsk Incomplete Dis - patch Says General Semcn- V .' off Has "Won, Victory. VLADIVOSTOK. July 15. (By the Associated Press.) Of the 14,000 Czechs who reached Vladivostok. 12.000 are en gaged in active military operations at Khabarovsk. The Czechs today occupied Spasskai after overcoming: stubborn resistance. Forty thousand Czecho-Slovaks hold the Trans-Siberian Railroad between Samara and Irkutsk, detachments oc cupying Tcheliabinsk, Omsk, Novo Ivikolievsk. Tomsk and Krasnoarsk. The Czecho-Slovak National Council at Vladivostok assumes that the Czechs, co-operating with local bodies, have overthrown the Bolshevlkl in the above-named places, but details are not available. It Is presumed that the Czechs are moving- toward Irkutsk, as their rear is surrounded. Prisoners Join Red Guard. It Is estimated that 600.000 war pris oners are distributed throughout Sibe ria, of whom 35. 000 have voluntarily joined the Red Guards or became en gaged In German political propaganda. The Czechs do not support the self styled Siberian government, and do not take offers of assistance from anti Bolshevikl factions.

The enemy forces between Nikolsk and Irkutsk, consisting of 1:1,000 Ger man Magyars and 25.000 Bolsheviki. are probably concentrated in the re gion of Lake Baikal and Chita. The attitude of the Czechs toward the Siberian government is that of a friendly neutral, but they will oppose any threatened armed advance by Gen eral Horvath on Vladivostok, as an outbreak of civil war would menace their operations for relieving the Czechs in the interior.

John J. Ford, who made this statement while In the Owl Irug Com pany's store recently. Is employed by the Standard Oil Company and lives at IsaO Druminond street. "About a year ago." he continued. "I commenced losing weight and gettlncr In a run-down condition. My appetit seemed to be good enough: that Is. I could eat. but my digestion seemed to to be bad and my food did me little good. Always after eating 1 would have a bloated, uncomfortable feeling. I also had a peculiar, puffed-up feel ing In my left side, which I thought was caused by the gas on my stomach. I was also constipated and, while I never suffered much pain. I knew some thing was wrong with me because I kept falling off until I got down to ninety-eight pounds. "Finally a friend of mine, who had been taking Tanlac with such good re sults, advised me to try it. So I got a bottle and the best proof I can give that It was the right thing for me Is the way It has built me up. I am Just now buying my third bottle and am alreadv beginning to feel like my old silf again. I can eat what I want without having that bloated, stuffy feeling aft erwards. As I have already said 1 have gained eleven pounds, and this shows how well my food agrees with me. All my strength and energy has been re stored and I am more than delighted with the good Tanlac has done me." There is not a single portion of the body that Is not benefited by the help ful action of Tanlac which beclns its work by stimulating the digestive and assimilative organs, thereby enriching the blood and Invigorating the whole system. Next. It enables the weak, worn-out stomach to thoroughly digest Its food, permitting the assimilation of the nourishing products to be convert ed into blood, bone and muscle. It overcomes, it is said, that great exciting cause of disease weakness, it renders the body vigorous and elastic, keeps the mind clear and energetic and throws off the symptoms of nervous ness and Indigestion. It builds up the constitution weakened by disease and mental and physical overwork, quick ens convalescence and Is an unfailing comfort to all sufferers from such troubles.
