Illoodgood, "Is solely In connection whh

"It Is the view of those aetlve In tho

JAPANESE SAILORS '
ENTER VLADIVOSTOK !
Action Taken to Protect Life
and Property in Vladi
vostok WuMilnKlon, April t.
Japanese iiaal forces haso landed at
Vladivostok to protect life and property,
according to dispatches from American
consul there.
The action followed an attack on a
Japanese olHce by Ho arnud Ilutslans.
who, upon being refused money, killed
one Japanese and wounded two others.
The force landed was iald to be small
and ofily sut'.lcient to prevent further
dltordert.
It la learned officially that
tho I
American Government attaches no polit
ical slgnltlcaiico to this Incident. In other
words, it lu not regarded as being con
nected In any way with tho much-dls,

cess at tjlagovestchensk. Jinny i oe

Join General Semenoff and otherwise
combine agaliut the Uolsheklvl aro being
deterred by the fear of reprisals. Tho
Bol'hovlkl. on the other hand, are elated
over tho Blagovcstchcnsk victory und
are becoming more assertive, especially
In Vladivostok
und now control virtu-
alt- the whole of tho country. A fe
prisoners of tnc Amur government ndt
been armed and there seems nothing to
prevent their employment by wholesale
in tho BolslieviK interests.
The force opposins General SenicnouT.
which recently was reduced by tho re
tirement of the Cossacks, has been In
creased again by the nnival of Bolshe
vlkl from western Siberia. General
hemenoffs numbers have not Increased,
and whllo ho now is well equipped, ho
is not strong cnougli to advanco with
out running the risk of a defejt, which
would imperil tho wholo movement be
hind him.
The situation has beiu Improved b
the appointment of General pleshkoff
to command the Russian railway force
In Manchuria. General Pleshkoff Is un
derstood to have pledged bis. support to
Semenoff and tho Uesurl Cossacku aro
reported to be organizing.
Bolshevik domination of eastern Si
beria makcj the situation highly un
satisfactory. Privato property is being
commandeered right and left. There Is
no security of life and trade enterprises
are being stifled. Finding the Allies In
active, the Bolshevlkl may attempt to
tamper with the' stocka In Vladivostok
and, if so disposed, may arm the pris
oners there. There Is no solid evidence
of enemy activity In western Siberia, but
there Is nothing to prevent it t. present;
nothing to check plotting between the
German agents in western and eastern
Siberia. The essential thing now Is the
control of the railways and telegraphic
communication with Karlmskava, after
which developments eastward could not
be on a setlous scale.
