TAKEN BY CZECHS
AMSTERDAM,, Aug. 1. The town
of Yekaterinburg, In the province of
Perm, near the Siberian border, has
been taken by the Czecho-Slovaks,
according to the newspaper Isvestia
of Moscow.
With this new development of the
Stecho-Slovak movement the Bolshe
vik press Is raising cries of alarm.
The Pravda declares the Czecho
Slavok danger Is growing like an
avalanche and that the counter revo
lutionary movement Is growing.
"Feeling In Russia Is everywhere
very bitter against Germany," Is the
surprisingly frank statement made
by Hans Vorst, special commissioner
of the Tageblatt of Berlin, who re
ports from Moscow on his Investiga
tions. Business men blame the "crazy
tyranny of the bolshevik! for Russia's
downfall and economic ruin. They
believe another war against Germany
Was coming.
