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.
It is believed that the Red Guard
movements are directed by officers of
the central powers. Many Magyar
troops are fighting with the Bolshe
viki. VLADIVOSTOK, via Shanghai. July

slovaks Is the occupation of Khaba
rovsk, seat of general government for
Amur, in order to secure their right
flank, after which they will proceed
along the Chinese Eastern Railway
until a Junction is effected with ' the
Czecho-Slovaks from Irkutsk.

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.

FORD TELLS OF
Standard Oil Co. Employe Gains
Eleven Pounds by Tak
ing Tanlac
"I have picked up eleven pounds In
less than thirty days and I know my
wonderful Improvement Is all due t
Tanlac because I have taken nothing
else." 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.
