A DOSE (j 7j) I THE LANCASTER NEV NO FORMAL ASSENT IS 1 GIVEN BY THIS NATION i Proposed Action by Japan in Siberia 1 I Will Not Offend Tliia Government. ( I I I Washington, March 7.?Exchanges regarding the situation in Siberia ( and the proposed action there by the , Japanese are continuing and apparently have developed the fact that J ; there is no difference in principle between Japan and the allies or between the the United States and Japan, although the United States has not given and plobably will not give formal assent to any operations which may be undertaken. 'White House officials were disturbed over a published report that the statement had been authorized that the United States was not in accord with the attitude of the allies toward the Japanese plans. It was explained that no statement had been authorized except that the United States had not given its as-^ sent to the action under consideration. The principle upon which all parties to the exchanges are said to be agreed is that if German influence! is working harmfully in Siberia and ' if there is imminent risk of the loss of the military stores at Vladivostok. Japan will be justified in using whatever measure of force that may be necessary to carry out her obligation to maintain the peace in the far east during the progress of the war. Differences of opinion are understood to relate to the measures of support to be given to Japan in such | an undertaking. One diplomat remarked that public discussion of the Siberian ques- i tion seemed to lose sight of the ex- i istence of a special treaty between i (treat Britain and Japan making it obligatory upon the latter to protect not only her own interests, but that of her ally as well on the continent \ of Asia. 1 Under the obligations of this I treaty, it is held in diplomatic quar- ' tors that while as a matter of cour- I tosy and perhaps of good policy, it behooved Japan to keep the entente allies and the United States government informed of her purposes, it , was not necessary to make any pro- , Better Farming Ml ~ "-A' Will The Americar Kill The Kais Chas. A. Whittle, Editorial Manager, The farmer ran win thia war I Only by famine does the Kaiser hope to conquer?famine by force of the submarine. If the submarine brings England and France to their knees, begI ging bread in the humiliation of de' feat, the Kaiser will then turn upon j the United States. i England and France can be saved from famine by the farmers of the , United States and Canada in spite of the submarine, if they will. The submarine will sink food that England and France so sorely needs hut the } submarine can not sink enough to 1 starve our allies, if the farmer of the I United States will raise maximum crops, raise every pound and save every pound of foods he possibly can. It's a fight, therefore, between the farmer of the United States on the one hand and the gaunt wolf of the Kaiser, famine, on the other hand. | If the American farjner can raise enough to allow for the submarine toll and enough more food to place "over there" to feed those who are fighting, then victory is ours. But It's a narrow margin. The whole world Is on the verge of star! vation. If even a normal crop Is produced in this country it Is not going ' to afford enough to feed everybody ITS, LANCASTER, a C. position to the United States government, and probably not to her allies except Great Britain. In this con- 4 lection it was explained at the state department that no direct proposal had been received from Japan regarding Siberia. It is known, however, that the department has been 4 Fully informed of the Japanese plans through the British government. Therefore, the status of the matter now. so fur as can be gathered, | [s that Jnpan has learned that her < allies heartily approve of her entry Into Siberia if that should be nec sssary to carry out her obligations. So fur as the United States government is concerned, the officials ap-'_ parently believe that is not necessary for them t<* give any formal assur- ^ unces on the subject. though on good authority it was learned that It is believed this course can be outlined to Japan in a way to make it perfectly clear that there is no lack of understanding of Japan's position-. so that no strain will be placed upon the relations between the two countries through the failure of America to record a formal approval. ^ It is understood that there is still q a chance that peace and order in Si- |n beria and the elimination of German p Intrigue and propaganda there can a, be secured by the Japanese without | bc the exhibition of actual force. In- a] formation is being collected iQ? from every quarter as to the extent of danger to be expected rrom either German prisoners of war or the extreme Maximalist Russian party. It is understood that special Investigation is being made into the strength of the Cossack general. SemenofT, who. it Is believed, really i jr brought the Siberian issue to lhe's< 'ore by an appeal to Japan for aid in sf suppressing the Holshcviki. It Is rf suggested that these Cossacks are 0< the "loyal Russians" referred to in Cf today's Tokio dispatches as an ele- j nent which must not be antagonized, j aJ Weather Has Made History.

Washington, March 7.?How the elgian people are defying their erman military masters in protestg against the effort to separate landers from the rest of Belgium id the deportation of judges who >ught to interfere is described in n official dispatch received today the Belgian legation. General von Faulkenhausen, the ilitary governor general, in a 'letir to the Court of Cessation, which lspended its sittings as a protest gainst the arrest of the judges of ie court of appeal, has given noce that the action of the judges in istituting proceedings against the >-called Activists, who set up the sparate Flanders government, was iKttiuwi as an an 01 nosmiiy 10 me :cupying power. This the Belgians >nstrue as an official admission tat the Activists are German ;ents. The dispatch says: ' "It is confirmed that the Germans ave deported Judge Levy, the preding Judge, and Judges Ernest and arez, presidents of the court of apeal. They also arrested Judge tniar in order to deport him. but he as released on account of illness. "The movement of protest by the rlgian people against the intrigues, the Activists has taken on large oportions. The voluntary suspen-L on of all judiciary activity, as a otest against the outrage commit- j <1 against the court of appeals o! russels, has caused a tremendous i npression even upon the German! ithoritics. New lists of the com- 1 unal functionaries and of impoitlt personalities who have made otests continue to reach Havre beg brought nightly by devoted paiots who have passed through the ectrofled frontier wires tn spirit of doubled vigilance on the part of le Germans. "The protest movement is specially 'tive in Flanders where even the ost important and ardent support's of all ranks and conditions have i lined in protest. It has been learn1 that all the Belgian bishops, beig prevented from meeting togeth\ have protested separately. Carinal Mercier has protested in a letr to be read at the beginning of Is Lenten letter to his clergy. A illective letter to the German chanjllor has been signed by the prinpal representatives of commerce at ntwerp and a similar protest has een sent by the provincial council [ Antwerp. "The free University of Brussels us sent to the Communal council of russels an enereetie letter tninimr \ the protest made by that body, he protest of the free university is gned by every member of the faulty. "The German authorities, overhelmed by the patriotic outburst, ave officially forbidden all delibration or discussion in regard to uestions of general politics such as le autonomy of Flanders and have Iso forbidden discussion in regard > petitions of protest to the Gerlan authorities.
