The Consul General at Irkutsk ( Harris ) to the Secretary of State 1

[Telegram]
Irkutsk , September 7 (6?), 1918 .
[Received September 9, 4.15 a.m.]

Telegraphic communication again reestablished with Ekaterinburg and Samara. No material change in the situation on that front as Czechs are carrying on defensive warfare until reenforcements arrive. Two thousand two hundred Czechs and Siberians from here were sent westward last week. An attempt will be made shortly to capture Perm.
