London, Jan. 1(1 The summoning of
British army and navy heads to Paris
marks the beginning of the new war
against tho Bolshcvlkl, but It will be
otrlotly a war of defenco from outside
of tho Russian borders. .It Is learned
from odlclal sources that England has
received a demand from Persia for pro
tection, and also from Georgia nnd Ar
beldjan, two little Caucasus republics
which have Just been rccognlicd. No
doubt stops of tho most definite char
acter win be decided upon In Paris.
The first British battlo squadron as
sembling at Mnlta In tho next few days
Joins the Queen Elizabeth of Qalllpoll
fame and her four sister super-dread-noughts
with the Mediterranean fleet,
Admiralty officials are careful to deny
that thero Is any political significance
In this, but It Is learned from tho For
eign Ofllco that the greatest danger now
foreseen results from the success of
the Bolshevlkl on the Black Sea coast,
enabling them to cross tho Black Sea
toward Persia and avoid traversing tho
Caspian Mountains.
A Military Cordon.
Tho need of a powerful fleet under
such circumstances Is obvious. The
presence of Lord Curzon In Paris makes
It certain that this peril will recclvo at
tention : ho Is the greatest of British ex
perts on the Near East It It empha
Fired here that while the new policy may
demand more extensive military move
merits than the old It conforms to the
principle of hands off In Russia. It In
volves a strong military cordon, possibly
In Poland and the Baltic region. In
order to prevent tho spread of Bol-
siievisni.
It Is explained ofllclally that recogni
tion of Georgia and Arbeldjan and tho
tending of a high commissioner, who ar
rived In Tlflls recently, means the pro
tection of the rntl- .olshevlks, which,
coupled with Great Britain's traditional
rotlcltatlon for Persia, affords ample
grounds for moro extensive steps of a
military and naval character, than la pos
sible through any policy of actual Inter
vention within Russia.
Worried About India.
Tho announced presenco of Chinese In
the Bolshevik armies and the most re
cent attack on the Letts are regarded
Htt Blgniflcant of other Oriental results
of tho Bolshevik successes. But what
Kngland Is seriously worried about Is
India and thla worry la expected to
rouse national sentiment In favor of
any drastic military and naval steps
which Churchill, Long, Wilson and
Beatty will settle In Paris with tho
Premier.
at is expected that Gen. Denlkino will
mnko a hard fight for Odessa but It Is
not believed that the Allies will do more
than protect the' rear of his army from
an attack by sea, which conforms to the
policy of keeping strictly without the
Russian borders, a policy which tho Gov
ernment undoubtedly hopes will not
alienate labor support at home.

Washington, Jan. 16. Tho situation
caused by the continued victories of tho
Bolshevlkl, the measure being consid
ered in Paris o slop tho spread of ter
rorism urid the part Poland may have
to play evoked to-day this statement
from Secretary .Baker :
"In my Judgment, as long as the
Polish Government a new nation, set
up by the conference in Paris Is occu
pying a defensive position assigned to
It and Is living up to the convention by
wnicn it came Into oxlstence It Is on
i tlrely proper for the nations responsible
tor us existence to lend It all possible
uld. I should personally have no ob
jection to the participation of the United
Btates In aid of Poland as long as Poland
continued to preserve the frontiers and
the obligations Incurred In tho creation
of the now Poland. As a matter of fact
the United States s officially giving aid
to Poland by lending Col. Alvln B.
Barker to the Polish Government to Tielp
In the direction of Its rallwasata
Tho question of whetherTraoles
havo given cause to tho Bolshevists to
movo against them by occupying terri
tory claimed as a part of Soviet Russia
could not be answered by officials hero
to-day.
In standing personally In favor of ex
tension of "aid" to Poland. Secretary
Baker went beyond the point of economic
assistance by means of furnishing food
supplies and clothing to that of arms and
ammunition, but not to that of the par
ticipation of American troops. Com
menting on the situation, Senator Lodge
fcEld ho did not believe, the passage of
the peace treaty would have any direct
tearing, Russia was not a member of
the league, he pointed out, and the Poles
were famous for their fighting ability.
Quite out of line with the fears of all
antl-Bolshevlsts that the Russian ter
rorists actually seek the worldwide
rpread of the movement of destruction,
Ludwlg C. A. K. Martens, the self-styled
Bolshevist Ambassador, said:
"Far from planning any attacks
against' Its neighbors, Including tho new
Slates formed out of tho former empire
of Russia, tho Government of the Rus
sian Soviet Republic without any reser
vation recognizes the Independence of
these States and wants to live in peace
and friendship with them. Soviet Rus
sia has not takon and does not contem
plate any aggressive steps toward Po
land or any other border States.
"Allegations that the Russian Soviet
Government, 'flushed by Its recent vic
tories,' Is now becoming 'a military men
nce' to the rest of Europe are wilful
misrepresentations of the facts. The
social and political principles of soviet
Russia develop a diametrically different
policy. Tho Russian Soviet Government
Is ready to demobilize Its army as soon
as attacks and threats against Its ter
ritory cease. Soviet Russia Is willing to
make peace at sacrifices not at all de
termined by her present military and
economic strength and readily offered
because soviet Russia's foreign policy
Is not an Imperialistic and aggressive
one, but one which alms at real brother
hood and cooperation between all countries."

Ready to Begin Negotiations

day, sent Instructions last evening to

London, Jan. 16. Poland's situation
as regards a possible Bolshevik military
onslaught seems to bo fairly secure at
present, In the opinion of military ex
perts. There Is always danger of a
concerted Red attack against the Poles,
they point out, but there are no Indica
tions of an Imminent menace.
Most of tho Bolshevtkl's time and en
ergy, on the southern front are being de
voted to an effort to defeat Gen. Deni
kine, who la fighting doggedly and ap
parently Is still strong enough to give
the enemy plenty of trouble.
All of north Siberia, beginning at
Tulun and all tho Lumsky district, Is
occupied by Red forces and the Soviet
Government exists everywhere In con
Junction with the central Soviet, accord
ing to Irkutsk advices forwarded from
Moscow by wireless.
In an editorial dealing with what It
calls tho "Bolshevist menace" the OJobe
rays: "It Is time tho people should rec
ognize the peril with which civilization
Is menaced. The Bolshevik army Is the
strongest and most numerous In Europe.
We must face the fact that Bolshevism
by Its very nature cannot remain con
fined to Russia, but must endeavor to
I spread over tho whole civilized world.
There Is no occasion for panic but an
obvious need for vts and resolute
U.tttnxnsnlp "
llw Westminster Gazette asks If "the
rw extension of war with the Bolshe
vlkl which seems likely Is not a mere
sequel of the British policy." "Given
an end of that policy by our simple with
drawal from tho European struggle."
the newspaper asks, "would the Bolshe
vlkl state dream of carrying on a new
war of aggression In the East?"
The newspaper says tho announcement
of what amounts to a new war Is a
negation of all hopes for the world's
financial reconstruction. "If the Gov
ernment," It adds, "expects the nation
to acquiesce readily and quietly to such
frustration of every hope for the speedy
betterment of the world plight, they
have dangerously miscalculated."
"The Allies must decide quickly what
tho activities against Bolshevism are to
be In the next few weeks and days,"
savs the Evening Ifews In Its comment.
"There is no use to talk without action.
That Is not the way to deal with a
situation which without guilt of panic
must be watched with soma dread. Tho
Bolshevists want to destroy the effi
ciency oMhe League of Nations. What
Is the L'eague's rcpl? The Council's
deliberations havo a personal Interest
for Britons and are of greater sig
nificance than most of us realize nt the
moment. What Is the Premier's policy
now? The country cannot permit him
to b too late."
The Star say'a the semi-official state
ment regarding Bolshevism Is "very
ominous."
"In plain English," the newspaper de
clared, "the English coalition has failed
and Is preparing to drag us Into vast
new military adventures, Involving an
Illimitable expenditure. We are paying
the price of our stupidity In waging war
against thi Soviet Government of Rus
sia." r?he Star thinks the right policy would
bo to use the League of Nations. "It Is
necessary to keep our heads," It adds,
"and take control of the madmen who
are hustling and hurrying us Into wars
the end 'of which no man can foresee.
There must be an end of the humbug.
The lvlnir hyrocrlsy and war propaganda

Washington, Jan. 16. Any action by
Japan toward the restoration of Shan
tung to China at this time would be
simply preparatory moves. It was said
lo-day by officials here. Tho Germun
Government has thirty days after for
mal ratification of the peace treaty In
which to turn over to Japan the docu
ments'relatlng to former German pos
FCBsions In China. Lacking these papers,
ll was said. Japan did not know In de
tail what German rights had been taken
over when Tslng-tau was captured.
It was regarded as probable, how
ever, that the Japanese Government was
making preliminary arrangements In
order that negotiations with China for
restoration of the province might be ex
pedited when the documents wero received.
Reports of Mntlny Unconflnncd.
Paris, Jan. 16. Reports that French
naval forces and troops at Toulon have

Special Despatch to Tn Sox.
Washinoton, Jan. 16. A free hand
to deal with the menace of Bolshevism
In 'Asiatic Russia has been granted
Japan by the United States Government,
according to a formal annoncement of
tho State Department to-day. Tills an
nouncement took tho form of the official
release for publication of a note handed
the Japancso Government at Washing
Ion In answer to a diplomatic Inquiry
from that diplomat on Dccomber 8.
Tho Stato Department during the In
tervening weeks has been permitting the
nubile mind to become prepared for tho
'nformUlon that the question of further
lid to the forces combating the eastward
rush of Bolshevism in Siberia had been
leeldod In tho negative so far as the
United States Is concerned. It has been
announced that the Uriited States forces
yet remaining In Siberia wero to be
withdrawn colncldently with the with
drawal ot the Czecho-Slovak forces. It
has been Intimated that the United
States would look with no disfavor on
the replacement of these withdrawn
forces by Japanese. The State Depart
ment has reluctantly admitted that the
j, replacements by Japanese might be any
thing the Japanese chose to send, and
has Indicated that In the prospective
agreement with tho Toklo Gqvcrnment
there would be no expression of the
views of America as to tho size of the
force the Japanese might despatch, and
therefore It Is to-day perfectly feasible
and, If desired by Papan, ready of ac
complishment, that the sturdy, well
trained and efficient Japanese army
might ultimately be sent Into Siberia
with the total extermination of Bol
shevism as Its primary objective and tho
ultimate Japanese assimilation of North--".stern
Asia as Its possible consequence.
Xoto la Made Politic.
The note, which Is In reply to a com
munication of tho Japanese Government
t uttsmitted to the State Department Do
cember 8, was made public to-night.
Japan In Its communication Inquired
whother the United States proposed fc
maintain the status quo, or to proceed
to entlro or partial withdrawal of Itn
troops, or whether It was ready to send
reenforeements In case of need.
In replying tliat under existing cir
cumstances It was deemed advisable to
withdraw tho expeditionary force tlv
United States asserts that recnforci
mem would be impractical und lliul It
maintain the status quo "might Inrolv-
the Government of the United State
In an undertaking of such Indeflnl'.i
character as to be Inadvisable."
Other aspects of the Siberian sltui
tlon are set forth In the American not
which follows:
'The Government of the United 8tatHs
has given tho most careful considera
tion to the subject matter of the com
munication from the Japanese Govern
ment, which wns read to the Secretary
of State by the Japanese Ambassadoi
on December 8, and which concerns the
recent unfavorable development of the
military situation with which Admlr l
Kolchak's forces have been confronted
and which proposes three alternative
courses for the allied and associated
Powers.
Campaign Impracticable.
"Tho Government of the United States
agrees that for It to send a reenforce
ment of sufficient strength and to act
on th offensive in cooperation with the
anti-Bolshevik forces Is impracticable.
"Tlw Government of, the United States
believes that for It to continue to par
tlcbnt'i In guarding tho districts now
under allied military protection Is also,
under present conditions. Impracticable,
for tho reason that an agreement to send
reenforeements to such extent ns may bt
required, with a view to maintain, the
status quo, might Involve the Govern
ment of tho United States In an under
taking of such Indefinite character as to
bo Inadvisable. The amount of reen
forcement which might becomo necessarj
for the execution of such an agrement
might bo so great that the Government of
he United States would not feel Justified
In carrying It out.
"Consideration has been given, there
fore, to the alternative presented by the
Government of Japan of entire or partial
withdrawal. It will bo recalled that the

expressly stipulated In the plan for the
supervision of these railways, which
was submitted by the Japanese Ambas
sador at Washington January 15, 1919.
that the arrangement should cease upon
the withdrawal of the foreign military
forces from Siberia and that all foreign
railway experts appointed under the ar

In the operation of tho railways under
conditions of unetablo civil authority

furnishes a strong reason for abiding by

"The Government of the United Ptatc
desires tho Japaneso Government to
know that It regrets the necessity for
this decision, because It seems to mark
the end, for tho time being at least, of
a cooperate effort by Japan and the
United States to assist tho Russian peo
ple, which had of late begun to bear Im
portant results and seemed to give prom
ise for the future. The Government of
the United States Is most ipneclatlve of
the friendly spirit wrilch has animated
the Government of Japan 'n this under
taking and Is convinced 'hat the basis
of understanding which has been estab
lished will serve In the future to facili
tate the common effort! of the two coun
tries to deal with the problems which
confront them In Siberia. The Govern
ment of the United States does not In
the least relinquish the deep Interest
which It feels In the political and eco
nomic fato of the people of Siberia nor
Its purpose to cooperate with Japan in
tho most frank and friendly way In all
practical plans which may bo worked
out for the political and economic re
habilitation of that region.
"It Is suggested that the Government
of Japan may desire to communlcae to
the other principal Allied and Associated
Governments tho substance of the aide 1
memolre of December 8. This Govern-1
ment will likewise make known to them
the substance of tho present communication.

SARRE QUESTION UP FIRST
Delegates Express Wish Amer

Irish Send Protest.
Paris, Jan. 16 The first meeting ot
tho Council of tho League of Nations,
held to-day, was attended by representa
tives of France, Great Britain, Italy,
Greece, Belgium, Spain, Japan and
Brazil.
Tho council organized by eloctlngLeon
Bourgeois chairman and confirming tho
cholco of Sir Erlo Drummond of Great
Britain as general secretary. The first
official act of tho council was the ap
pointment of a commission to trace upon
tho spot tho frontiers of tho territory of
Sarre Basin.
The council received the first formal
. protest to bo presented to it almost be
fore It camo Into being. It was rrom
"tho envoys of the elected -government
of the Irish Republic" against "tho un
real English slmulacro of an Interna
tional league of peace."
No mention of the protest was made
during the meeting of the council, but
copies wero handed to tho newspaper
correspondents after they left the For
eign Office. The document was signed
"Ouaklalgh Duffy." It reglstored objec
tion to tho "pretended Leaguo of Na
tions" and declared the league to be an
"engine of empire, designed to secure ,
and perpetuate English hegemony ,
throughout both hemispheres." The pro-1
test Insisted that the league was Illusory
and Incomplete, lacking authority and
sanction, and declared that tho United
States stands out "in indignation and
repudiation" of It.
All the members of tho council called
for by the covenant of tho league, with
tho exception of the representative of
the United States, wero present when M.
Bourgeois called tho meeting to order.
Lloyd George Retire Harly.
Besides M. Bourgeois tho. members
were Earl Curzon, tho British Foreign
Secretary for Great Britain; Premier
Vcnlzelos. for Greeoc; Carlo Ferraris.
Italian Minister of Industry, Commerce.
Labor and Food, for Italy: Paul Hy
mnns, tho Belgian Foreign Minister, for
Belgium! Baron Natsul, Ambassador to
France, for Japan : Dr. Gastoa do Cunha,
Ambassador to Franco, for Brazil ; Count
Quinones de Leon, Ambassador to
France, for Spain.
lYcmlcr Lloyd George of Great Brit
ain and Viscount Grey ot Falloden, Brit
ish Ambassador to the United States
appeared at tho meeting at nn early
stage. Mr. Lloyd George soon retired
however. Viscount Grey remained and
was Invited to a front seat.
Leon Bourgeois, French representative
in opening tho session, said In part:
"The task of presiding at this meetln,
nnd inaugurating this great International
Institution should have fallen to Presi
dent Wilson. We respect the reasons
which still delay final decision by our
friends In Washington, but express the
hopo that their difficulties will soon bo
overcome and that a representative of
the great American republic will occupy
the place awaiting him among us. Tho
work of the council will then assure defi
nite character and will havo that par
ticular force which should be associated
with our work.
"January 16, 1920, wilt go .down In
history as the dato of tho birth of it
now world. Decisions to be reached to
day will bo In tho name of all nntlonu
adhering to the covenant of tho league.
It will bo the first decree of all frea
nations leaguing themselves togothor for
tho first tlma In the world to substitute
right for might. Rut the organization
of tho Leaguo 'of Nations will not be
complete until tho assembly of all the
states meets."
Earl Cureon, British Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, said:
"On behalf of the British Emplro I
desiro to express the loyalty of my
Government and tho external dominions
of tho British crown to the spirit under
lying the covenant of the League of Na
tions. It Is our intention, oy every
menns In our power, to Insuro Its prac
tical efficiency.
"Tho League of Nations Is an ex
pression of tho universal declro for
saner methods of regulating affairs of
mankind, and provides machinery by
whrcli practical effect may be given the
principles of International friendship
and good understanding. The success
of the labor conference nt Washington
Is a good augury for the future of tho
League of Nations.
"For tho first time nn attempt wns
made to bring together under the aus
pices of tho leaguo representatives of
governments, employers and labor, and
an advanco exceeding tho results of tho
entlro work of the previous quarter of
a century has been made In the field
of International action .on Industrial
questions."
Slgnor Ferraris, on behalf of Italy,
said his nation was glad to respond to
tho Invitation "of tho President nnd tho
groat American people" He mentioned
tho scepticism amidst which the league
was born and said this was a fact to
be neither exaggerated nor Ignored.
Slgnor Ferraris added that among tho
dutlos of the leaguo would bo to gtve
attention to tho high cost of transpor
tation, tho high cost of living and the
stato of International finance.
Ambassador da Cunha, for Brazil,
said his country would devote herself
with fervor to tho work of peaco and
fraternity among tho nations. He re
ferred to tho fact that ho was tho only
representative from America present,
nnd said he was proud to havo tho
honor of bringing assurances of tho co
operation of Pan-America In the opera
tion of the league.
M. Bourgeois proposed London an .the
placo for the next meeting of tho Coun
cil, and this was approved. Lord Cur
zon suggested leaving tho date and the
order of business open, to be decided
by tho chairman and tho secretary,
since, he said. "It will be necessary to
consult the United States on a great
many questions likely to arise."
