MOSCOW, Saturday. -Njiril C.?Ad
miral Kato. Japanese Minister of Ma
rin'*. has issued a proclamation a'
Vladivostok dealing with tlie landing
there Friday of entente allied forces.
The Japanese minister says lie feels
great sympathy with Russia in the
present situation, hut was compelled
to take steps to protect life and prop
erty of Japanese and allied subjects in
view of the murder of a Japanese sol
dier and because there were no local
organizations able to maintain law and
order. The admiral adds that he has
ashed his government for further in
st ruet ions.
President Soukhanoff. of the \ 1 a? 11
vostok <*ouneil of Soldier;;' and Work
man's Deputies, reporting to the I'oun
oil of National Commissaries, state?
that in his. opinion the killing of tlie
Japan' ;"o was a political murder, as
no robbery was committed. Kfforts
to apprehend the criminals, he addc^
have been unsuccessful.
M. Soukhanoff says the landing cf
the Japanese troops was effected in
the presence of the Japanese consul
and Admiral Kato. It was made with
out the consent of the American, Brit
ish and other consuls, and no warning
was given to the ?ocat authorities.
Later British forces also were landed.

The <"*ouncil of Soldiers' ami "Work

ish consuls consented to receive the
delegation as representatives of the
Soldiers' and Workmen's Council. The
Japanese consul would deal with them
only as private persons, and the
French consul refused to see them
at all.
President Soukhanoff reports that
the Japanese section of the city is
being patrolled by Japanese detach
ments, composed bf three to ten men
each. Tents are being erected at the
end of the Chinese street and also In
the churchyard of the Japanese church,

The Council of National Commis
saries yesterday issued a statement,
saying:
"Japan has started a campaign
against the Soviet republic." It then
points out that the landing of troop?
at Vladivostok was effeeted immedi
ately after the murder of the Japanese
without waiting for an investigation
to he made, and says the crime was
part of a prearranged plan. Continu
ing. the statement says:
"What is the program of action of
the other governments of the entente
?America. Kngland. France and Italy?
Up to the present moment their policy
regarding the rapacious scheme of
Japan evidently has been one of hesi
tation.
"The American government appar
ently was against the Japanese in
vasion, but no%v the situation cannot
remain indefinite an> longer. D.ngland
has followed Japan's example. 1 his
must be put to the British go\er;i

The statement says the action "f

Flcteher, Willie Senator James De
clares It n Plain Statement of
America's Demands.
WASHINGTON. April 7.?Both Re
publican and Democratic Senators ap
peared pleased with the. President's
message to-day. They said they con
sidered it timely indeed.
Two Democrats who voiced their ap
proval were Fletcher, of Florida, and
James. of Kentucky.
"It is a magnificent utterance, ami
in time," said Senator Fletcher. "It
is strong: and forceful. The President
has said he has always been willing:
to do the square thing, hut now there
is nothing: hut to match force against
force.
"Me could not yield to the Germans'
demands*. The Germans do not know
anything' except a policy of aggres
sion. It is good to have the record
show where we stand against conniv
ing and intriguing. It is good to cay
perfectly plainly that wc have got
to light to the end."
Senator James raid: "The President
shows his name splendid force in this
great paper. lie tells the Germans
that America will not stand for op
pression and militarism. He tells
America that we must tight lo the
bitter end.
"There is nothing else for us to do.
We cannot how to Prussianism. That
?would be against every instinct and
against the principle of the nation.
"We will win in the end. It will be
a hitter fight arid there may be pri
vation. But would the world be worth
living in if Germany was not defeat
ed
On the Republican side. Sterling, of
North Dakota, said: "The speech was
very fine. It reflected the true spirit;
namely, that force must ha met hy
force without stint or limit until the
causo is won.
"It was the right word at the right
time."
Senator Cummins, of Iowa, said: "The
President stated the situation correctly.
I have nothing hut praise for his
message. It was a clear statement of
the facts which are obvious to every
body. There is no use of talking of
winning this war in any other way
except by crushing Germany."

[By Assort* ted Tre^s.]
The second pharc of the threat battle
along the SoniTre. which the Germans
began on Thursday last, has died
> down.
i It lasted less than three days, and
the fighting has resolved itself into
more or less isolated encasements, in
which the French and British allies
| have more than held their own.
The attention of the Germans for
the present is mainly directed at th?
( lower end of the battle zone, which
; apparently they are attempting to cn
' larsre for the purpose of petting: elbow
room in which to move their vast
masses of troops.
Meanwhile. General Foc.h, the com
mander-in-chief of the allies, is biding
ills time, meeting tho German assaults
with powerful resistance, and here and
there conforming his lines to the ne
cessities of the battle, ft is confident!/
| stated at Paris that Koch will not bo
drawn into any false move?whero
each move is of such vital importance
?but wil! strike with his reserves at
, the. moment chosen by him.
There may be some significance in
the report that the German Emperor,
after a conference on the western front
on Saturday with his chiefs. Von Ilin
denburg and J^udendorff. intends to
j proceed to Roumania. At the outset
j of the great German offensive, when
j it was sweeping- the allied forces bc
. fore It. notwithstanding their tenacious
| resistance. Emperor William, it was
i announced ofllclally from Berlin, was
; in supreme command. That announoe
! ment was regarded at the time as evi
| dence that tho Emperor expected a
complete and declslvo victory. Since
then, however British and French and
.Vmctican rc-cnforoemcnta have come
up.
The British on Sunday engaged in
sharp local righting at various points
nnd repulsed German counterattacks.
They also drove oft" by artillery lira
two German attacks launched in the
neighborhood of Rucquoy. West oC
Noyon a German detachment, which
had gained a foothold in the French
line?, was forced out by a counter
attack. Another attack at Grivesnca
was repulsed, but the German efforts
along the Oise to enlarge their pre
vious gains were continued in the sec
tor between Chauny and Parisis.
Here the French commander deemed
it advisable to withdraw to positions
previously prepared, and they arc be
ing held strongly.
The Germans apparently have been
quite Miccessful in their operations in
this fo.'ior and have pushed down south
from Chauny and Barisls, capturing
the villages of Pierrcmande and Fo
lembray, the latter lying on the south
ern outskirts of the lower Coucy wood
They report also the capture of
prisoners and heavy French losses.
The official communication from Ger
man headquarters deals with the events
of Saturday, when strong British in
fantry forces stormed the Germans'
positions around Beaumont-Hamcl and
Albert, and French divisions "brought
lip from other fronts," attacked the
Germans on the western bank ot' tht
Avre. These engagements, according
to the German report, resulted in fail
ure for the allies.

Herman troosis still are being poured
into Finland, and. although the Rus

protest, they have notified the German
government, that exception is taken
t<? the violation by Germany of pro
visions of the Brest Bltovak treaty
guaranteeing the security of the Rus*
?ian fleet and naval stoics in Finnish
waters.
Polish soldiers have been Interned
irs Hungary, their legions having been
dissolved by the Teutonic military au
thorities because of "wholesale trea
son in the ranks."
President Wilson's acceptance of the
challenge of the central powers and
his declaration of "force, force to the
utmost. force without stint or limit,
the righteous and triumphant force
which shall make right the law of
the world and cast every selfish do
minion down in tho dust." has had a
responsive echo from the. capitals of
the entente allied powers, where the
prcs3 gives high praise to the Presi
dent for "putting his actions Into
agreement with his words."
