Two Japanese
Armies Ready
To Aid Russia
Tokio's Reply to U. S. Pro?
posal for Military Action
Expected Daily
All Allies to Join
In the Undertaking
Forces for Intervention To
Be Assisted by 100,000
Czecho-Slovaks
(Special Dispatch to The Tribune)
WASHINGTON, July 19. The reply
of Japan to the communication of the
United States, proposing military ac?
tion in Siberia, is expected daily in
Washington. The Japanese Cabinet,
the Foreign Advisory Council, the
Elder Statesmen and the Emperor have
considered it, and the views of Japan's
military and naval experts have been
obtained.
The communication marks a modi?
fication of President Wilson's views
as expressed to Japan three months
ago in response to an invitation from
Japan to discuss the Russian situation,
the United States at that time being
opposed to military intervention, not
so much in principle, but believing it
would be unwise at that moment.
The new- communication, it is under?
stood, is based on developments occa?
sioned by the exploits of the Czecho?
slovak forces in R<ussia, the dangers
confronting those in Western Siberia
and European Russia, and the necessity
of sending into Siberia and possibly to
European Russia an expedition to re?
lieve them.
Favorable Reply Expected
Neither the State Department nor
the Japanese Embassy would authorize
any statement on the subject of the
exchanges taking place between Tokio
and Washington. At the department
it was learned the conversations have
not been concluded. The belief in best
informed circles is that the reply will
be favorable, possibly with some modi?
fications of President Wlson's proposi?
tion.
It was pointed out that there is no
recognized Siberian government, and
as the United States and the Allies
have no diplomatic relations with the
Bolshevik government, there is no au?
thority to which this country and the
Allies might look to cooperate with in
the assistance all are eager to give
Russia. In this situation the appear?
ance of the Czecho-Slovaks, who have
been betrayed by the Bolsheviki and
are n.ot only loyal to the Allies but
anxious to renew their fighting against
the Central Powers, came at-*ttrr"WTT*"
portune time to present an occasion
for action in Siberia.
Details of the proposed action in Si?
beria are not known. It is only known
that the Allied Towers have been ap?
pealed to in the interest of the Czecho?
slovaks, exposed to destruction by
combined Bolshevik-German attack,
and that the number of these troops
is in excess of 100,000. Fifty thousand
of them are organized into military
boilics, e?iuipped and partly armed, The
remaining f.0,000 are enrolled, but, be?
cause of the lack of arms and equip?
ment, have not been able to organite.
International Action
Any action, according to Ute best
available information, to be taken in
Siberia will be international, with rep?
resentatives from the British and
French forces as well as Japanese. It is
regarded as certain that American
troops will participate. Recent rein?
forcements arriving at Vladivostok
? from British East Indian and Chinese
ports are believed to have been des?
tined for Siberian operations.
The major forces, however, necessar?
ily would be furnished by Japan. The
t probable number cannot be ascertained,
but it is regarded as essential that
there be a strong army, especially if
the mission of relief for the Czecho
? Slovaks is to benefit those in the far
! interior as well as those in Eastern Si
I beria.
Japan, it is said, has very large gar
? risons in Southern Manchuria and
Corea, and would be prepared at any
instant to start two columns in mo?
tion, one following the Amur branch
| of the Trans-Siberian Railroad, which
: is partly controlled by Bolshevik
forces, and the other following the
' Chinese Eastern Railway through
! Northern Manchuria, the two columns
converging upon a point near Chita.
Thence the line will be advanced rap?
idly to Irkutsk, beyond Lake Baikal, in
the I'ral Mountains, and to European
Russia. By pushiug into European
Russia, going northwestward, contact
might be established with the Brit?
ish-American forces along the route
of the Kola-Pet rograd Railway, and
; this penetration also would serve to
I deprive the Bolsheviki of the use of
? the Archangel-Vologda Railroad. It
would also have the effect of depriving
both the Bolsheviki and the Germans
of supplies from Siberia, and would
hasten the complete destruction of the
former, while interfering with the
plans of the latter exploiting Russia.
It % believed Japanese officers would
command the expedition, inasmuch as
the majority of troops might be fur
I nished by Japan. However, the num?
ber of Czecho-Slovak '.roops available
for service would give the Allies a very
substantial force.
Russian Embassy
Doubts Miliukoff
Has Joined Germans
WASHINGTON, July 19. ?Extreme
doubt was expressed at the Russian
' Embassy to-day as to the accuracy of
the circumstantial report of the defec?
tion of former Russian Foreign Minis?
ter Miliukoff from the Allied cause
and his adhesion to that of the Cen?
tral Powers. M. M. Karpovitch, an
important member of the embassy
staff, who knows Miliukoff personally,
said :
"The origin of the report may be a
Bolshevik or German lie to make the
.Allied governments support the Bol
sheviki by creating the appearance
that the moderate parties of Russia
are anti-Ally. The telegram came
""rom Kiev through Vienna, and as Kiev
?s controlled by the Germans it is more
likely that the lie is of German manu?
facture.
"It may also be the guess of some
newspaper writer whose only ba<-is for
, the report is the fact that Miliukoff
. has gone to Kiev. Kiev happened to
| be the only place he could reach with
any reasonable assurance of safety.
"Miliukoff has many friends in the
United States, where he has been sev
??ral tinTPC. He is one of the most
. prominent leaders of the anti-German
movement in Russian politics."
In the last few days prominent Rus
I sians have declared that the destinies
Red Cross Relief Ship
Will Carry America's
Gift to Ruined Russia
Government Approves Mission
of Friendly Intervention
Which Leaves Soon
WASHINGTON, July 19.?A
large cargo of relief supplies,
principally foodstuffs, clothing
and medicine, is to be dispatched
to Russia by the American Red
Cross "at the earliest possible mo?
ment."
A special ship will be used for
the purpose and the cargo will
be accompanied and distributed
by a group of Red Cross repre?
sentatives, who will work under
the direction of the American
Red Cross commission now in
Russia.
Shipment of the cargo has
been approved by the American
government, said the Red Cross
announcement to-night, and it
will involve a gift of the Ameri?
can people through the Red Cross.
I The supplies will be for the use
| of the civilian population, refu?
gees of Russia and prisoners r?
: turning from Germany and Aus
i tria-Hungary. Many of the latter
! have been starved and large num?
bers of them are afflicted with
. tuberculosis.
"We have sought by every
means in our power to keep alive
in Russia the feeling that the peo?
ple of the United States, through
their Red Cross, were eager to
be of service to the Russian peo?
ple in their distress and afflic?
tion," said Henry P. Davison,
; chairman of the Red Cross War
Council, to-night. "In other
words, our whole policy has been
in accord with the statement of
President Wilson that he intend?
ed to stand by Russia."

Allies Were Not Invited
To Seize Murman Coast
AMSTERDAM, July 19.- Rear Ad?

I proclaimed the occupation of the north
1 ern section of the Murman railroad by
British, American, French and Serbian
? forces, says Max Behrmann, the Stock

that the forces would advance south

Behrmann says that there nre no
i Soviet authorities in the whole Murman
territory. On the entire 400-mile

Bohrmann further alleges, regarding
"n request for help from the popula?
tion," that two obscure Russians, one
nn ex-convict and the other a former
gendarme, have been travelling around
in the interests of the Allies collecting
adhesions to the requests by threats or

The newspaper prints an Archangel
message to the "Izvestia," of Moscow,
which mentions the arrival there of
Italian and ?Serbian officers and men,
who, it declares, were disarmed and ex?
pelled by the local Soviets.
A z?;ologist named Schmidt, who has

garrison is well supplied with food

Intervention Talk
Heated in Japan
LONDON, July 19.--Great efforts ap?
parently are being made to break down
political opposition to Japanese partici?
pation in intervention in Siberia, and
there is a continuous coming and going
of political and military personages,
says a dispatch to "The Daily Express"
from Tokio, dated July 17.
The leaders of the Seiyu-kai, the
chief opponents of intervention, had
long interviews with Marquis Saionji
and Prince Yamagata. Some quarters,
it is added, expect that a coalition min?
istry will be created.
The Seiyu-kai is one of the two
largest political parties in Japan. Mar?
quis Saionji, a former Premier, was
leader of the party until early in 1914.
Prince Yamagata is president of the
Privy Council.
Finn Monarchy Bill Fails
And Landtag Is Adjourned
LONDON, July 19.?The Finnish gov?
ernment has suddenly withdrawn its
bill for constitutional reform and the
adoption of a monarchy and has de?
clared the cession of tne Landtag
closed, says a dispatch to "The Times"
from Stockholm. This action was taken
after the government obtained only a
bare majority on the second reading of
the bill when it needed a two-thirds
majority.
Thirteen Executed for

man Ambassador t<> Russia, have been
executed. Many others, it adds, are
under arrest.
Germans Attempt to
Migrate to Ukraine
Tax Ridden Populace Seek
Change, but Both Coun?
tries Object
AMSTERDAM, July 19.?An inter?
esting sidelight on internal conditions
in Germany is shed by the reports
reaching Berlin from various parts of
the Fatherland, according to telegrams
received here. The tax-ridden popu?
lation is desirous of emigrating and
settling in the Ukraine, whore, it is
believed, farming conditions are easier
and taxation will be lighter.
A warning has been issued against
this proposed emigration. It is pointed
out that no permission will be given
by the government authorities for a
long time to persons who wish to emi?
grate, Moreover, it is added, public
security in the Ukraine still is very
bad, and the popular feeling there is
so anti-German that the Germans in
that country are anxious to get back
to Germany.
The cry comes from Dantzic, on the
Baltic Sea, that this district is in im?
minent danger of being controlled by
the Poles. The ei*eatest war profiteers
there, it seems, are Poles. They are
buying up all the real estate in the
city and vicinity. The Polish Bank
has acquired a large edifice in Dantzic,
and the suburbs are full of Polish
business men. It is said there are po?
litical schemes in the background,
namely, attempts to secure an outlet
for Poland in the Baltic.

U. S. Action Expected
in Newark Strike
NEWARK, N. J. July 10? Federal
intervention in the machinists' strike
is' looked for by union officials and by
the manufacturers. Harvey W. Brown
business agent of the. union, is in Wash?

son of the International Association of
Machinists, who hopes to bring about
an adjustment.
Arthur H. Torrey, secretary of the
Employers' Association of North Jer?

workers. He added that the places of
the strikers are being filled temporarily
by men from other narts of the plants.
At a meeting of the strikers to-day C.
P. Gibson, national organizer, reported
that more men had joined the strike
and that several more shops had been
won over. Mr. Gibson declared that
twenty-nine small shops had granted
the union demands.
The Gould & Eberhardt firm, of Irv

to work bv Monday their places would
be tilled.

He started for a fourth trial flight

Cecil Urges
Allied Aid to
Save Russia
Says Czecho-Slovaks Are
Only Organized Force
and Should Be Helped
20,000,000 Facing
Famine Amid Plenty
Pestilence Raging Through?
out Land and Strong Hand
Needed to Restore Order
I LONDON, July 20.?Lord Robert
Cecil, who has just left the post of
Minister of Blockade 'to become Assist?
ant Secretary of State for Foreign Af
! fairs, in an interview with the Associ?
ated Press last night, urged the neces?
sity of the Entente Allies sending im?
mediate help to the Czecho-Slovak
forces along the TraPs-Siberian Rail?
road.
"The presence of a Czecho-Slovak
l army in Russia at this time is, I be
| Heve, one of the miracles of history,"
j Lord Robert declared. "We have be
! held one of the greatest empires of the
j world plunged into such an appalling
? state of disorganization that nothing
! like it is known in modern history ?a
j situation so unprecedented that the
world seemed merely to stand aghast,
i hopeless.
"Then, suddenly, we find this Czecho?
slovak army, well drilled, carefully
organized and ably led, stretched
! across the backbone of the Russian
i Empire over a line nearly 5,000 miles
| long. It is the only organized force
' we know of in the whole of Russia to?
day making for even the elementary
principles of order and civilization.
; "ft" the Allies allow it to be wiped
out for want of ammunition, food or
moral support there is absolutely no
leav<-n left to leaven the lump, and
small hope remains of preventing the
Russian people from being over
? whelmed by a terrible series of eco
j nomic disasters during the coming
j win tor.
"I have recently heard men who know
Russia well speak of what is likely to
happen there during the coming winter
under the present chaotic conditions.
One authority estimated that 20.000,000
people would perish as a result of dis?
ease and economic disasters, which are
inevitable, unless some unforeseen al
: leviation comes, and comes soon. If we
' can tide the Russian people over this
difficult winter I believe they will begin
to get on their feet again.
"One of the tragedies of the Russian
revolution has been that it resulted in
dispersion and disunion rather than in
any united effort toward a united de?
mocracy. Wherever you get two Rus
! sians together to-day you find two po?
litical parties?there are almost as
many political parties as there are Rus?
sians. This, of course, has been true
of all great revolutionary upheavals. It
is one of the recognized symptoms of
revolutionary fever, and the Russian
peop'e must be given a little time so
that this symptom may abate.
"At the present time the ordinary
Russian is unable to see any particular
reason why he should believe the same
as anybody else or cooperate with any?
body else. The Russian people will
come back to health if it is given a
, chance, and I think the Czecho-Slovak
j army can he made ?1 great agent in
j assisting the patient in this state of
; convalescence. Russia is like a patient
? with a broken limb which is slowly
| mending. The Czecho-Slovaks can be
? made into a stout splint, which will
: support the broken limb while it is
healing.
"There are many uniting forces in
Russia if they are given a chance, but
Russia must have a breathing space.
Unless some strong, helpful force can
i be brought to bear soon I am firmly
convinced that Russia is faced with the
most terrible winter of hunger and
disease which any nation has ever
known.
"As long as the present state of dis
i order continues it is certain that the
i present disorganization in economic
j industrial and commercial life must be
j continued. It is my apprehension for
I the corning winter that has been one of
? my strongest reasons all along for urg
' ing the Allies to assist Russia from
? the East, I am convinced it is the only
possible way to help Russia.
"We are told we should perhaps wait
: for a formal invitation from the Rus?
sians themselves. But the masses of
Russia ftre inarticulate, and there is
no voice which can express their will.
We know they need help and it seems
our duty to extend them that help in
the best and quickest way we can, for
delay must inevitably mean the loss of
millions of lives fr?rh hunger and
disease.
"Russia is a country which is. far
more than, self-supporting, it is the
gigantic granary of the world, with an
untold wealth of every food product
necessary to man's support. Vet al?
most in the midst of the granary mil?
lions of persons are destined to die of '
starvation this winter unless some
strong hands lend help in the restora?
tion of transportation facilities and ele
mentary industrial activities."
Siberian Provisional
Government Formed
To Reorganize Army
VLADIVOSTOK, via Shanghai, Tues?
day, July 16.?The immediate aim of
the Czecho-Slovaks is the occupation of
Khabarovsk, seat of the general govern?
ment of the Amur, in order to secure
their right flank, after which they will
proceed along the Chinese Eastern rail?
way until a junction is effected with
Czecho-Slovaks from Irkutsk.
The enemy forces between Nikolsk
and Irkutsk are 1*2,000 German-Magyars
and 25,000 Bolsheviki, and probably are
concentrated in the region of Lake
Baikal and Chita.
A Siberian provisional government
has been established at Vladivostok. It
constitutes an integral part of the Si?
berian government at Tomsk, and is
mutually pledged to convoke a Siberian
Constituent Assembly when the country
is cleared of Bolsheviki and communi?
cation ia restored, and to reform the
national army to cooperate with the
Allies.
The present position of the Vladi?
vostok government is being strength?
ened. It is supported by the munici?
pal Zemstvo. The operations of Gen?
eral Horvath, commander of the anti
Bolshevik forces, have complicated the
situation, and the Siberian government
has announced that Horvath's coopera?
tion is impossible.
The attitude of the Czechs toward
the Siberian government is that of a
friendly neutral, but they will oppose
any threatened arm<?d advance by Gen?
eral Horvath on Vladivostok, as an
outbreak of civil war would jeopardize
their operations for relieving the
Czechs in the interior.
