ACTION IN SIBERIA
Fv?
BELIEVED CERTAIN
Japan and China May Act Re
gardless of American
- Wishes
America. Is 1918 Asset
to Support Allies
Washington, June 8.
Japanese-Chinese Intervention In Sl
oerla, regardless ot American wishes, Is
believed In diplomatic circles to bo In
evitable.
British nnd French sources are
straining hard again to get some ac
quiescence from America. And the re
ported action of Bolshevik and Austro
German troops In pursuing General Sem
enolT In Trans-Halkallls may be the
match which will touch off the maga
zine. ,The recent Japanese-Chinese "defen
sive" agreement Is considered only a
forerunner ot future action. French
and British authorities discuss the sit
uation only guardedly, lest they In
volve themselves In embarrassing equa
tions. But It may be said flatly that the
rltlsh, particularly, arc extremely anx
ious that Japan be given a free hand
n Siberia.
' ' American and Allied sources say em
phatically Japan has kept her pledges
faithfully aud that there H'no suspicion
of her" motives. Her entrance Into
'Siberia, however, would be contrary to
American expressed Ideals on demo
cracy, and tills Government believes
Russia would not be saved by such a
'course.
The situation, however, may be get
ting beyond American control, and In
such u case it Is possible that joint In
tervention will be undertaken so that
'Russia could not misinterpret It as an
aggressive or expansive movement.
At the Russian embassy It was stated
that "there probably will be something
, to announce ln a few days." Jean
' Sooklne, ex'-flrst1 secretary of the em
bassy, and confidential Adviser of Am
bassador Bakhmetleff, Is now In Paris
confer.rerlng with Ambassador Maklakoff
over the future policy of the non-Bol-'flhe.vlk
diplomats. He Is expected to re
turn shortly.
. s
Allied Executive
h to Run War, Is Plan
Device May Defeat U-Bqats
Continued from Pare One
henceforth to learn from trie commu
niques that the American share In the
battles of the future Is becoming In
creasingly Important.
The Supreme War Council and
Clcmenceau, with nil the facts before
them, expect this growth of American
aid to give us the support required to
enable us first to defeat the. enemy's
offensive and then to attack successfully
In our turn. But It Is clear that It Is
our plain duty to make every possible
effort, both to tide over the Interval
until America can lake a greater share
and to shorten the war by gaining the
necessary superiority of forco on the t
western front nt the earliest possible
moment. I
It Is therefore disappointing to learn
that the voluntary contribution which
Ireland Is asked to make Is to bo
limited to 60,000 men by next October.
Clemenceau tells us that the French and
British effectives are becoming exhaust
ed like those of the Germans. The vital
question Is, Whose effectives are declin
ing moBt quickly? Wo know that the j
German 1919 class of boys under twenty
Is in the ranks, and that the French j
l....... ..... .... ..... I. 4t.i.t nA.naannnillni. '
iinve liui jci ffui in iiicn .uiitaruuuinh
class.
The Prime Minister has told us that
the German have called up for train
ing their 1920 closs of boys under. nine
teen, and he estimates this at 650,000:
and. wo also know that our boys of
eighteen anc) a half arc fighting In
France.
On the other hand, we have not made
'the same call upon our older classes as
Germany or France, and the combing
out of the Intermediate classes Is still
Jn progress. On April 9 the Prime Min
ister summed up the position as being
that the Allies at the present moment
hae the same reserves of man-power
to re-enforce their armies as Germany
has, without taking into account these
great reserves In America.
Unfortunately, the measures to In
crease our military man-power, an
nounced by the Prime Minister on that
date, can hardly alt become effective,
owing to the time required for 'combing
out and for training during the present
campaign. The position appears to be
that wo have again let the enemy get
drafts trained1 for the field before our
own were ready and he could draw upon
the Russian front, while we had no cor
responding reservoir to which to turn.
Hence our present anxieties.

convinced, will prevent torpedoed ships

have seen his working models who agree
with him.
The device consists of a number of
cone-shaped buckets and a large dlKC.
When a hull Is pierced a bucket Is low
ered to any depth desired and pulled
through the water until the opening is
teacheo. Suction draws It Inside. The
disc Is then lowered with a string of
cone-shaped buckets attached. Suction
takes the string of buckets Into the hole
and the closing disc automatically closes
up the hole.
The buckets are rnide of rubberized
canas. The disc Is made of super

flexibility nt the edge.

Mechanism of War Is Morlnr Abroad
The same .Is true, ot the men who
have to act on questions of supplies and
finance.- The whole mechanism of the
war tends to, move abroad. National
administrations will have little to do-except
to provide. If they can, what the
International war organization demands.
Tills process Is inevitable. It took place
T long ago In Germany,
It appears that this newly proposed
executive "will have nothing to do with
strategy and nothing 'to do with dlplo

Another project decided upon by the
conspirators was the destruction of
quicksilver mines In America, with a
view to diminishing and stopping the
supply of quicksilver used In the pro
ductions of munitions by the United
States. .
Financial assistance was assured to
Irish revojutlonlsts If they precipitated
an uprising, and propaganda, was dis
tributed there callying upon the people
to revolt against the British'. This
scheme of, operations was arranged here
by the plotters, the Indictment charges,
and measures considered to render neg

checking any possible support from citi

there are slightly under thlrty-flve di

This shows that tho enemy somehow
has Increased the number of di

He did this In two ways first, by re

by a general combing out of other
classes, nnd. second, by reducing some
