Under th guts of "maintaining law and order" In th territory immediately surrounding that portion of th Trans Siberian railroad assigned t th patrol of th Japanese troops, Semenoff con ducted his carnival of butchery, pillage, rape and arson. Joined by deserters from th Kolchak army who stood op posed to the Boiahevikl west of Omsk and by all the outlaws of the Mongolian and Trans-Baikal countries, his "army" In Ills probably exceeded 30,000 men. How h gained control of 14 "Brone- vlks" (armored railroad cars) equipment for his soldiers and ammunition is some what a matter of conjecture. - it ta cer tainly a matter of record that the Semenoff troops and the Japanese were on - th friendliest terms "at all time.
