APPEAL TO RUSSIA IN
BEHALF OF JAPANESE
Cars Government Asked to Treat
Noncombatants in a Kindly
Manner.
TAKAHIRA'S STATEMENT

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Russia will
be asked by the United States on behalf Of
Japan, which has no diplomatic relations
with Russia, to treat kindly Japanese nom
combatants who have been left in Siberia
and to enable them to make their way
back to Japan. Kogonor Takahfra. Jap
anese minister, called at the State Depart
ment to-day and informed the officers that
he had received reports that between forty
and fifty noncombatants were in a suffer-
ing condition in several Siberian towns.
The minister requested the Washington
government to use its good Offices to assist
the suffering Japanese to reach Berlin,
where the japanese minister VIII take them
in charge. The State Department acted
promptly and cablegram was sent to AM
bassador Mccormick at ST. Petersburg, in
viting him to call the attention of the Rus
sian government to the request in the con-
fident hope that Russian officers will take
immediate steps for the relief of the Jap
aneSe.
To a correspondent of the Associated
Press Mr.. Takahra said ut is unnatural
that in time of war there exists between
the people of belligerents a degree of SYM
pathy, but, in my opinion, 1t is a notable
feature of the present conflict that since
its outbreak the Russians have acted in
an untoward manner with the noncombat-
Vladivostok squadron fired on japanese
merchantmen and sank one of them A Jap
anese major and five soldiers. who were
taken prisoners in Korea, were paraded
through the streets of Mukden. japanese
residents in Manchuria, many of whom
were women, were subjected TO indignities
while on their way to a seaport to find a
steamer to take them to Japan. This re-
port from Berlin tells of the cruel treatment
of innocent people by the police of Siberia.
"Just think how Russians are treated in
Japan You never hear any complaint by
them against the japanese. On the con-
trary, it was reported from Chemulpo that
wnen the bodies of two Russian sailors
were recovered from the wreck of the
cruiser Variag the sailors of japanese men,
of-war buried them with military honors
and many residents of the Japanese town at
Chemulpo went to their graves to bow out
of respect for their bic death.
IL do not mean TO expect of the country
and people at war with US anything un-
usual, but / sincerely hope that they will
show at least some moderation in the treat
ment of those innocent. unfortunate suf-
ferers. not only for their sake, but for the
sake of the good name of that great empire
as one of the civilized countries"
