Jfeaan twiH continue to maintain peace in the far east, at the same time aiding the allies all in her power and seeking the co-operation of China. Propaganda circulated in Siberia now is attempting to estrange Russia and Japan and America and Japan, declared Baron Goto. "We will not make light of the in imical Influence in eastern Siberia which menaces Japan, China and the allies," he said. "Neither has Japan lost sight of the fact that Russia is still a power for the allies. We recog nize the Russians as endeavoring to reorganize a machine temporarily out of order, and in this work Japan stands ready to give her assistance and support." Protest From Soviet WASHINGTON, May 6.—-Hie state department has received a protest from the soviet republic of Russia as serting that the American consul at Vladivostok improperly encouraged a movement for establishing an autono mous Siberian government. This protest, also delivered to en tente diplomats, suggests that the re lations between these parties and counter revolutionists in Siberia have been over-friendly. While the state department has not yet made its reply, it was indicated that it will answer the soviet with the statement that the Vladivostok con sul has been guilty of no improprie ties and has given no encouragement to a separate government movement. The department suggests that the consul there necessarily had to deal with many factions, and that these dealings formed the basis for the so veit objection. It was pointed out clearly how ever, that the government's attitude ig neutral as between factions and that there is no desire than to do other than help Russia at this critical time. The department was advised that the official title of the soviet govern ment is "Russian socialist is a federal soviet republic" and that its insignia is a red flag with gold letters.
