the Central Powers. It releases for
them supposedly enormous stores of
wheat, which can be transported cither
overland or by sea.

It cpens a way to conquest via Persia
and Afghanistan toward India, should
German desires point that way. It gives
to the Cenrtal Powers, especially Tur
key, almost uninterrupted use of the
Black Sea, with Its largest port avail
able for any use the Germans may desire
to mako of It. And It mav mean that

omclnls declared today that It would
bo some time yet before It would be
possible to determine what Germany's
next movo would be. It Is certnln that
should the Moscow Soviet reject the
peace terms agreed on by Lenlno then
tho Go-man advance ngalnst Pctrograd
will be pressed. If the peace terms are
accepted It Is expected hero that Ger
many will wait at least a short period
to see what tho Russians themselves
Intend to do with pence.
Pending the action of the Soviet, all
plans which take Into consideration Rus.
sla and Russian Influences on the war
are halted. Tho Siberian quett'on re
mains open, with Toklo, Paris, London
and Rome still exchanging messages as
to possible plans. It Is possible now
to reveal tho fact that tho sugKCstlon
that Japan be asked to Intervene In Si
beria originated first .n Paris. Tho au
thorities there were In rccslpt of Infor
mation Indicating that tho Germans
planned to arm all prisoners of war In
Siberia and that tho Bolshevlkl were
not Inclined to place any obstacles In
tho way.
Exchanges between the Japanese am
bassador In Paris and tho French For
eign Ofllce resulted In a definite plan
of action being suggested, and then
the problem was passed on to I.ondcn,
where It was approved on tho face of
the Information furnished by France.
It was not until President Wilson called
for and obtained a complete reiiort that
the fact was revealed that China really
held the key of the situation In her
hands through the control at Harblii,
and then, when the United States mada
It plain that It could not sanction any
move which so closely resembled con
quest. Toklo decided to withhold action
pending developments.
France maintains Her attitude of un
qualified approval of the .plan for a
Japanese expedition Into Siberia. Great
Britain still Is considering the possible
efTcct of Intervention on Russia and
whether It would not be used by the
Germans as an argument which mlKht
greatly Injure the Allied cause. The
United States is standing on its re
fusal to assent to any move, although
It still holds that Siberia clearly Is
within the Japanese sphere of action and
If her Interests nctually are Imperiled
she has a perfect right to net as neces

Diplomatic advices from Toklo Indi
cate that Viscount Ishll, the newly ap
pointed Japanese Ambassador to the
United States, shortened his farewells
that ho might get to Washington ns

reasons, but offlcals hope It will bo with

Secrecy of Prosecutor Raises Many
Kinds of Speculation Up

New York, March 14. Have German
spies In New York been shooting craps
with the funds of Wllhelmstrasse?
Or havo these spies been uslns the
chemln de fer table and the poker club
as a means of entrapping the persons
from whom they were endeavoring to
get Information?
A hint that something of the sort
hns occurred i found In an announce
ment by District Attorney Swnnn thnt
detectives from his nlllce, In a raid on a
gambling room, had unearthed Import
ant facta about tho activities of spies.
Mn Swann said the facts are so Im
portant that not even the address of the
Rambling house could be made known
until the Federal authorities had examln.

nrnirl over to them todav.

Although claiming that streets In gen

'An educational campaign will go far

demand that something be done to re

Some time ago Chief Illcks, of the

New York. March 14. The, most Im
portant fact of today's opening ses-jlott
of the Pan-Soviet Congress at Moscow
Is that only n single year separates
tho Moscow conference from tho com
mencement of the Russian revolution.
Whatever, therefore, be the outcome
of the Moscow deliberations, the Rus
sians have a right to demand further
consideration and more patient judg
ment from the older democracies One
year ago today Nicholas Romanoff was
spending the last twenty-four hours of
his reign as Czar of Russia. No nation
cculd have overthrown the absolutism
of the Romanoffs and reorganize a
Kmoothly operating democracy within
twelve months.

Men Who Depend Upon This Clothing Store
Are Sure of Best Style and Best Values
We doubt if any other Clothing Store in this city has been taking advantage of market conditions during the past
eighteen months to the same extent as wo have done investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in Clothing from eight to
twelve months in advance of each season, instead of the usual four to six months. By so doing we saved our customers
TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars on their purchases of the past autumn and winter, and we'll SAVE THEM AN EQUAL
PROPORTION THIS SPRING. In other words, our prices are from 15 to 25 per cent, less
than the actual market value of the Clothing to-day.

And we assure you the value is very unusual. Prices for Spring Top Coats start at $18.00.
