No other newspaperman has been able to visit that dis trict of horror and desolation- Around it the Japanese army draws a ring of bayonets. Travel overland and by steamer alike are forbidden. All commerce is cut off. By fortuitous circumstances I went with the Rod Cross steamer Erivan, carrying relief to Rus sian refugees. No other vessel has reached there except army transports from Japan. JAPAN RULES GREAT PROVINCE BY MILITARY TERROR To understand the ominous world-importance of what Is now happening over here you must recall what HAS hap pened since 11)17—and visualize definitely the big map of Eastern Asia 'Hie maritime province of Siberia stretches like a gigantic fringe—6o to 200 miles deep—along more than 3,000 miles of irregular coast Ordering the Sea of Japan, the Gulf of Tartary, the Sea of Okhotsk and the north Pacific ocean. It runs from Korea (gobbled by Japan in 1910) clear to the frozen Arctic. Vladivostok is its ocean port, the outlet to the sea for a vast Siberian hinterland. This great maritime province Japan has seized. She rules it with military terror. Behind it, to the west, is the large Amur province, which almost touches salt water at the mouth of the Amur river. It is fertile for colonization and rich in minerals. Thin. also, Japan haa grabbed and Prussian lied. Jaapn got her toehold when the allies sent their Joint expedition for tho avowed purpos* of helping (0.000 stranded Ciwh soldier* r»t out of Hlherla. Kach ally *u In furnish <.OOO soldier*—and NO MOItB. They were to guard and operat* th* railroad while the Cue. hs came thru, and then leax** Siberia. ALLIES WITHDRAW EXCEPT THE JAPS Did they withdraw? Ye«»—u to Americana English, French and Italian. And the Jsps? They hare a bit army In Siberia light now. a!tho the taut of the Caechs reached Vladivostok, or vicinity, long ago, and only lack of transport delayed a amall remnant from willing until August. When the first allied contingent* landed In Itll Japan's looked extra numeroua to the other allies. Official Inquiry at Tokyo brought the In cenlou* responae thnt thru some regrettable "misunderstanding" TWELVE thousand. Instead of SIX thousand troops, had be*n sent. From the outset there was constant disorder In the sector* aaalgned to Japanese troops. The other allied troops, In sectors equally exposed, had little trouble. "To quell the disturbance*" Jspan obtained permission «f the other nations to bring In "a few more" soldiers. The "few mure" amount to I.ooo—making 20.000 In all. More transports arrived, dumping additional troop*—alwayi to put down some "threatened" Bolah*vl*t uprising. Sometimes Jap terrorism and outrage turned the** threatened uprisings Into actualltiea, as might tie expected. Kvents couldn't hav* happened better—for Japan—lf Japan had craftily planned It so. Japan's srmy In Siberia multiplied— «<tw without even the formality of aakln ; allied consent. Her military expeditions penetrated far from the railroads she waa ostensibly there to guard. Soon llis army numbered bo tween 70.000 and 10,000 men. Then the powers sent a nots to Tokyo. What it said nrrer has been made public. It produced soma result*. Troop* began to sail back to Japan. 35,000 OR 40.000 JAP TROOPS IN RUSSIAN SIBERIA TODAY nut there are even now between IS.OOO and 40.909 Jap soldier* in Rus sian Siberia. Tills I know from a sourco I am not at liberty to reveal Far and wide over Siberia stretches th* "unspeakable Jap srar." Scarce t a hamlet, or Isolated peasant home, but suffered terribly In the constant turmoil, pillage, rape and murder—all Uio abominations of soldiers free to do their will. Typical la what happened to the once prosperous vfllagw of Ivanoka. on the Amur, far from the railroad. Without warning a Japaneaa Cos sack detachment opened tire on the town. FIVE HUNDRED AND SIXTY CHILDREN wwra mad* orphans; 200 homes were burned. Tbe remnant of Inhabitants fled to th* hills. Thieves looted what was left of th* town. Japanese soldiers burned th* homes not destroyed by shell Are. Such Intense Indignation did this aronse among th* allied force* that Japan made an "official explanation." It la a cynical, hypocritical docu ment, expressing "great regret" and "heartache" that It was "necessary" to resort to these "repressive measures"—because the people of Ivanoka "continued to SYMPATHIZE with and harbor Ilolshevlka." "Nothing was left, therefore." It say a 'liut for the Japsnen* command to execute th* sever* yet merited punishment of tli* POPULATION of Ivanoka." Score* of town* were similarly outraged, whole population* punished for the acta, or suspected acta, of Individuals. GUNBOATS SHELL VILLAGES TO MAINTAIN "LAW AND ORDER" Ily the fall of 1911 a Jap expedition had reached Nikolayevsk—(oo mile* down the Amur from the railroad at Harborovsk. and 1,000 miles by water from Vladivostok. Gunboats patrolled th* Amur to maintain 'Taw and order" —by ahelllng river towns suspected of harboring red sympa thizers. I personally saw little settlements that had been thus destroyed. In many village* the local Husslan officials—not red*—bravely Incurred Jap vengeance by sending appeals, on behalf of masa meetings of the Inhabitants, begging protection from the representative* of th* United State* and other allies. Some 370 Jap soldier* spent the long, cold winter of III! !9 at Niko layevsk, with frequent disgraceful orgle*. In Joint occupation of th* town w.m a detachment of Randan "white" soldiers, under Jap control. Hitter hatred of the Japs sent the Siberian peamnts flocking to the red standard, under the anarchist Trepetxln and his consort Nina. On January J*. 1920. Trepetxln surprised and captured Fort Tchnyrach, a few miles below Nikolayevsk. Japs who escaped fled to th* town. Trepetxln turned the big guns of the fort on the Japanese barrncks and wireless station. These were captured February 6 and th* town ltaelf was surrendered February 21 by the Japanese and "white" forces. Then began the aomher final act of the tragedy of Nlknlityersk. culmi nating In the maaaa'Te a* spring was freshening the Amur valley.
