JAPAN IN SIBERIA
A Dangerous Experiment Unless Care

Whet In i Japan has pressingly petal- I
liar interests at this time in Siberia I
is a question ol condition and not of i
Iheorj. linloiihlrdlv there are great
(applies ol wan- material there which
were manufactured in Japan and the
United States, and which have not
lieFTt paid for. it might be very serious,
iint^f-d. for the Allies if these
<upplics were to fall into the hands
>f tin- Ccrmans. It may he said. too.
Ihiit (h-rinan occupation of Siberia, or
ven a state of anarchy in Siberia due
lo the complete collapse id Uussia.
would involve grave menace to Jnp
tte.se interests as well as to the allied
'a! I sc. I III tile basis of flu- old iliploiii.icv
ii most plausible cause could he 1
nimli- in favor ol Japanese military >

tent of :in exercise of international

Yet there aIV other questions to he
considered, too. What will he the immediate
result ami what will In- the
il11 dilute consequences? We take it
lot granted that even Crcut Itritain
will not consent to the sending of a
lapanesi- force into Siberia without
h-tinitc public agreements as to the
miployimut ami ultimate withdrawal
>1 those troops. Nor is it conceivable
llial anv action will he taken in vie- :
liiince of the provisional government
d Siberia or in llagian't disregard of <
ill tile IMisslhle ciiccia in Kiissia ui
lu ll intervention. I
WIicii the Unmans renewed their
Kussiau drive the iter ma a cununander
was at treat pains to explain that
the immediate ohjeet was not military,
hilt the suppression of anarchy ami
I In- restoration of order. Curiously
mouth, that happens to he the very
irKuniciit advanced in favor of Japanese
operations from the east. In .
he event that Japanese troops are
sent into Siberia t\e should have pre- |
seiited the hithly edify int spectacle ,

rder.
We should not dream of assuniinK
hat Japan's motives might in reality
e no different from tSermany's but 1
t is necessary that the distinction '
dioiild l>e made plain and unniistuk- s
ible in advance of any action. It is '
lccossary, too. that the Kussian people
dioiild have a clear understandinK of .
lie prm-ccding. Kven in the midst .
>t eliaos they cannot he disregarded,
tesistance is manifesting itself in
tussia to the (Serinan advance. There
n evidence that the people are be- !
oniint aroused to their danger. How,
lu-n. will they retard Japanese in- j
erveiition in Siberia?
There is always the possibility tlint !
he> may consider the Prussian as ,
referable to the Japanese, and that .
f they must make their choice they .
vnil),! rather trust themselves to the ,
\aiser than to tin* Mikado. That J
vould mi an war between the Japanese
nitl the Russians with Russia an acive
ally of Germany. with vast num- .
>crs of Russian troops subject to tier- \
nan command and all the natural re- .
aturccs of those parts of Kussin which *
la pa 11 could not occupy under the di- |
vet control of (iertnany.
The war would instantly assume a
tew phase, with Japan and Germany '
atthin; for the prize of Russia. and |
iu>st of the democratic factors in the .
?lnation would lie eliminated.
All these dangers can be avoided,
f course, if proper diplomatic precau- '
ions are taken in advance. The moral .
ind political responsibility in the case
ests almost wholly upon Great Brit- (
tin. which alone is in a position to .
ntluenee the course of the Japanese
tovernment and which can demand all '
he safeguards that the situation rein

hat will save every ship for war. for i

ve ask you to come to the fighting

am perfectly certain that every t
armer is just as willing to make sac- c
iflces as everybody else. They have ?
esponded nobly to the appeals which t
lave been made. I want county com- t
nlttees to be a little hard upon farmers
who won't cultivate. They are
really not doing their duty for the _

the way of people who could do it.

French generals arrived at at Amen- 11

arly hour and immediately went to "(
where the troops were drawn up on

ttin- of tiic yreneh generals said to ,,,
i lieutenant, newly decorated: "We ,,
have got tin- Kociies down and we p,
siiall t>ut them down deeper If we ej
keep working as we have."
At the end ol the ceremony a voting .
private came running along hurried- .
ly. lie spoke loi a moment with his
a plain, tearing apparently that he
was going to lose his medal. The
aplain directed him to proceed to M.

The premier went far forward into tt

the American troops. A few shells, a
hotli friendly and hostile, whistled

(here, hut none dropped near. The
premier seemed especially impressed a
w ith the sturdy, heulthy appearance of la
the Americans, even those caked in ^
mud who "hard JusT "returned from tne
front line. He spent the afternoon ^
inspecting the billets in many towns fi>

One ??f t !?* sergeants decorated is w
from Arkansas. While in a dugout a ,,
ih i man lieutenant called out, "Conn- w

out his men fighting. He iiersonnlly t|
killed the lieutenant and two soldiers. ^
The other came from Detroit. He ^
was aliout to retire for aire, hut asked
to he sent to France, lie took command
of a detachment in front of

and continued the fight, inflicting .
losses on the enemy.
tine private from the St. I.ouis artillery
distinguished himself twice in

No Advantage Must be Taken of Sol- le

(Jiving sweeping protection to L'ncle

tiers' and sailors' civil rights hill has
ecu approved hy congress. President s?'
Wilson's signature is exjieeted within l"'1
i day or so. to
I'nder the provisions of the Dill
ighting men and their dependents are 'n
( rot ec ted against eviction for non- d?
[ aynient of rent: loss of life insur- In

roperty; loss of home on which part !>'
ayinent has heen made; loss of prop- tb
rtj through non-payment of taxes; a
>r loss of a homestead through ah- P(
senee or non-payment of fees.
All this protection is given on the
ondition that a man's normal ability P'
o meet his obligations has been "maerially
.affected" by his military tu
lervice. 'n
The measure has heen before con- ?f
iress almost since the first of the
,var. Difficulties of drafting it, and so
he protests of certain insurance, Pi
uilding company, loan coiniiany and K<
limilar interests, delayed its passage.
With the war risk insurance bill, it lb
s declared by administration leaders
;o make up the most liberal legisla- rc
ion in protection of a nation's fighters _
ii history. Its final approval was by _
inanimous vote.
Its most ini|>ortant features follow:
A lawsuit cannot lie settled against
i man who is unable to uppcur by reason
of military service. Courts must
tp|M>int attorneys for such defendants.
A lawsuit began by a person whq
ater enters military service may be
postponed until the man in service is
iMe to give personal attention.
A soldiers' wife or family cannot
>e evicted from any premises, rent
Tor which does not exceed $50 a^
nonth. The court may inquire into all'
?uch cases and make "such order as
nay be just." An attempt to evict shall
>c punishable by a ll.OOO fine.
C 'O homes being bought on install nent
payments, the contract shall not
>e foreclosed for non-payment unless
t court so decides after an investlga:lon.
The court may then order all
laymen s to date refunded. The court
nay stay proceedings altogether.
Instance is defined to include benefits
from fraternal or benefit socieies
as well as commercial life insurmee.
Non-payments due to military
tervice -shall not Invalidate the policy
jp to o ie'year after the close of the
var.
Non-payment of taxes cannot result
n the sale of a fighter's property. This
ncludes assessments and levies of
?very sort for either national, state
>r local governments.
Mine claims, timber claims and farm
rlalms all are guarded against foreclosure
by the government, either for
'allure to perform work, absence, nonpayment
of fees, or failure to make
mprovements.
General provisions are made that,
,'ourts may enter such Judgments iri'
dl cases as may be "equitable." both
o the debtor and creditor. Making
if reasonable arrangements instead of
enforcing the absolute provisions of the
ict against either party to suit under
he bill is encouraged.
