They pointed out that the United States and the Allies are crltlclzlne Ger many for Bendlnc a military expedition irgaliitt Russia tn the excuse that It Is to pave life and property. The Japanese Government, they said, Is nejtotlatlnc the delicate situation through the State Department and the Porelcn Offices of the other Allied Gov ernments In her effort to obtain sanction a fii- nt-nnr.A,1 Ylmlltlnn.

British and French diplomats Indlcat A ,ht their countries are more than willing that Japan should tep Into the war by acting to guard huge supplies at Vladivostok and Harbin and to pre vent Germany from getting a grarp either on the Siberian Railway or on eastern Siberia. ' BELIEVE TROOrS ON MOVE Japan has repeatedly fald that she would take no step In" the war which were not sanctioned by her allies. So presumably she has at least "sounded out" these alllei and apparently has received favorable Intimations In reply. Japanese diplomats have let It be knov that Japan is ready "to act In Slber a, nnd press dispatches Indicated that de velopments In Japan are being hidden by the censor. This might indicate mo bilization or forces or actual inoement of troops and supplies. In Japanese . quarters here there Is strong belief troop movements have begun.; "Reports that the Japanese Diet has made an Important statement of policy 'toward the far eastern problem also ,-teided to show that something momen tous Is at least nnder consideration. Japanese participation would doubtless iark an Important turning point In the war. Japan Is cognizant of German machinations In the Far Eastpnd recent developments have indicated that In ad dition to a Mlttel Vuropa, Germany is ambitiously seeking a Berlln-to-Tol:Io plan' This' Is impossible of realization lii a military sense, army men feel, but v With her progress In Russia and her machinations in Siberia, there Is a chance of serious trouble in Siberia. RUSSIANS OPPOSE PLAN Japan's forces, with qr without Allied aid, could do much to compose that situation, and this Is apparently what M,.alout to Happen. 4, $vn me omer nana strong opposition to tich a move' by Japan has long been voiced lit Russian quarters here. It was pointed out that the Russians would deeply resent and might Fcout the sincerity of Japanese co-operation In Siberia. It Is held more than pofblblc by Rus sians hero that the entrance of Japan Into the eastern conflict might be exactly what Germany is seeking by heV- present maneuvers to draw Japan on, then create fear and distrust In the minds of the Russians and eventually line Rus la up with th6 Central Powers "to fight 9ft the new invader." mmmmmmmmmVMMmL7i"nK.

This impressive , figure represents nearly a full regiment from this firm. In this Swift Legion of Honor, 103 of the men have won commissions in the army. When "Preparedness" was the admonishment of the hour the Swift Military Club was organized in it have been trained hundreds of men. It is our local "West Point" we know that its graduates are better soldiers because they have gone into the army and promptly promoted. Some of them have won com missions. 28,718 Swift employes own Liberty Bonds, to the amount of $3,879,700. The women employes of Swift & Company, and the wives and mothers of employes, have turned thousands of pounds of wool into sweaters, socks, he mets and'scarfs for our men in uniform. They have donated large sums of money to the Red Cross. t They have contributed to the war funds of the Y. M. C. A. and Knights of Columbus. It is an inspiration to observe the flags waving on the desks of department heads in. our Chicago office, indicating that every employe in the department is buying War Savings Stamps every week. Swift employes, voluntarily, are con tributing weekly sums to a comfort fund through their Military Welfare Associ ation to provide their associates in service with smokes, sweets and other needs. Food Conservation pledges are being kept in their homes. In our employes', restaurants we are abstaining from meat and wheat on the days now on pur war calendar, and are doing it cheerfully. The name of Swift was never asso ciated with more valiant patriots than the men and women who make up its official family. The company is proud of this mag nificent war record.
