Pekln.,C n I n a, uec. 4. r or some
time tho-Czecho-Slovaks In; Siberia
have been strongly , opposing: the
ruthless meaaures and useless waste
of life and property carried on .by
the Omsk 'authorities. Their pro
tests hare been unheeded, and ow
ing to tbla fact they have delivered
a memorandum ' to the allied repre
sentatives outlining their views. The
memorandum follows:
The unbearable conditions caused us
to ask the allies to consider means to
give us safe conduct to our mother coun
try and the allies ?ave their approval.
We were prepared to guard the railway
sector selected for us and heretofore we
have carried out our task conscientious
ly, but that Is no longer possible. It is
against the most primitive demands of
humanity and Justice that, our army
should be forced to do guard duty ana
maintain order against its convictions to
suooort a ' state of absolute despotism
and Illegality such as that which exists
In Siberia under the protection or
Caeca amis.
The doings of the military authori
ties and the Omsk government's commit
tee - are criminal actions which would,
were they known, stagger tee entire
world... The burning of villages, the
murder of peace fi-1 inhabitants and the
shooting' ef hundreds of persons with
democratic convictions and of others sus
pected of political .loyalty occur daily.
The responsibility for this will In the
eyes-of the world fall on us Inasmuch
as we possess sufficient strength to pre
vent such' lawlessness. Thus while our
passlvenesa appears as a direct conse
quence of - the principles of neutrality
and non-interference with Russian in
ternal affairs, we fear that wa shall be
looked upon as participants In the
crl- es that, are being perpetrated.
"In brlnctnr these enormities to the
notice of the allies whose true ally the
Ciech-Slovak nation has been, we desire
to make known to the people of the
world the strategic position lu which
the Csech. army Is placed. We do not
see any other way out than our Imme
diate return to the mother land or our
Investment with the right of free action
so that we may terminate the lawless
ness and crime."
The memorandum was signed by Dr.
Otrsa, the. newly appointed Czecho
slovak' plenipotentiary. The Czechs
have guarded both Irkutsk and Omsk
since March. 'when the Interallied agree
ment was signed. The memorandum Is
considered to be of great importance
aad was officially considered at a meet
ing of the allied railway board at Omsk
on November IS, as It was feared that
if the request of the Czechs was grant
ed and immediately carried out a crisis
would be precipitated and anarchy would
reign.

Copenhagen, Denmark; Dec 4. On
account of 'the coming to Copenhagen
of M. Litvinoff, the . Bolshevist agent
to the Dorpat conference, several Scan
dinavian Bolshevlkl have arrived here
in the last few days. .Today at Elslnore
the editor of the Swedish Bolshevist
paper "Folkefs Dagblad," arrived and
wanted to get to Copenhagen. He was
stopped, however, by .Danish secret
service men who had strict orders not
to admit any acknowledged Bolshevist
Into the country, .The police refused
to let him' in - and after a long discus-,
sion he was forced to return to Sweden.
It is said that he only tried to obtain
admission into Denmark for the pur
pose of starting a new Bolshevist prop
aganda in this country. He has regis
tered a protest with J. A. M. Staunlng,
minister without portfolio, who repre
sents the Socialist party. He told the
secret service officer that his intention
was to see M. Litvinoff and discuss the
exchange of "Swedish war' prisoners' In
Russia and to arrange for' sending food
supplies to the soviet government. As
a matter of fact there are no Swedish
war prisoners in soviet Russia , at alL
