ACTION IN
SIBERIA IS
DECIDEDON

TOXIC, July l8-(Special by
1 Cable to Nippu JijD-Am-
erica has formally proposed to
Japan that a joint, military expo
dition be despatched into Siberia,
to reinforce the army of the
Czecho Slovaks opposing the
Russian interests allied to the
Germans, and this proposal has
been definitely accepted by the
Japanese government.
Japan will send an army into
Siberia, by way of Vladivostok.
An American force will cooperate
and the army of intervention will
also include British and French
attachments.
The decision to cooperate along the
lines proposed by the United States
""s reached Mt a session Of the Elder
Statesmen, held at the Imperial Palace
ON Thursday and presided over by En-.
peror YOshihito in person. This was
the third conference in the matter,
which had been under earnest discus.
sion by the diplomats and the En-.
peror since Monday. On Thursday the
gonrO were summoned into conference
by the Emperor and the decision ar
rived at by the diplomats was consid,
cred and endorsed. ...g
OUTLINES JAPAN's STAND
AT this conference q declaration ac-
eepting the American proposal and
outlining the position of Japan in the
matter of intervention, in Russia was
drawn up. At this conference with the
Emperor were Prince Yamagata and
Marquis Matsugata, the two remain
ing genro, who numbered five during
the reign of the late Emperor Nut
suhito.
II is announced that the British now
have force of men at Hongk0ng,
ready TO take part in the expedition,
and that the French have detachments
in North China ready TO join the pres
ent Japanese, American and British
marine detachments already at Vladi-
vostOk.
-, BAIKAL THE DIRECTIVE u
e, There will be no Imperial message
issued regarding the expedition nor is
It the present plan of the government
to convoke the diet into extraordinary
session unless the operations to be I'M
dertaken in Siberia must necessarily
be widened beyond the scope of the
present pldn. The immediate plans call
for an advance east in Siberia as far
as Lake Baikal. .&a
Baron ,KRto, who was minister Of
foreign affairs under Premier Okuma
and who is the recognized leader of
the Doshikai party, has expressed his
APPRECIATION of the attitude in the mat
ter Of Japanese participation in
joint military expedition into Siberia
Of T. Hara, the Seiyukai leader, and
has pledged his support to the gov
ernment.
Popular opinion here supports the
decision of the government and it is
believed that the diplomatic council
has achieved an unexpected success.

Simply by force of circumstances"
as he explained 1t. Maj. Hall Harrison
of the I'd Battalion. 3IOth Field Ar

Capt. Philip Haxall Harrison of the
same battalion, both now ready to
take their places against the Huns.
The officers are Baltimoreans and
brothers of Maj Evelyn Harrison of
the Depot Brigade. Camp Lee. They
are all graduates of st. Johns Col
lege. Annapolis, regarded as one Of
the finest military schools In the
country.
When the divisions were made up
last fall Maj. Hall Harrison was as-
signed to the 314th Field Artillery.

ago to Fort sill School of Fire. While
there his regiment and division were
sent to France without him.
Capt. Mount. regimental adjutant Of
the 31Oth. declared that the Army was
istence of Maj. Harrison was forgot
ten In the. course of the departure
of the S0th Division. His presence at
Fort Sill was never thought of. That
is the way Capt. Mount accounts for
the strange procedure.
Nothing was done on my part"
said the major, ito be assigned to any
1t I was ordered to Meade. I still
said nothing about having a brother
in the 310th. and after talking with
the chief of staff a few minutes he
declared that Col. Landers was in need
of major and sent men here forth
with. then discovered that / was
to be put in command of my own
brother, Phil. who is battery COM
mander."
Needless to say, the coming of NAL
Harrison was pleasing all around. 1t
is gratifying to his Baltimore rela-
tives and friends that he is assigned
to a Maryland regiment and his
brother, the captain. is delighted at
the prospect of having him as su-
perfor officer.
Col. Landers welcomed Maj Harri-
SON to the regiment with open arms.
a6 he has been without the aid Of
lieutenant colonel or major for sew
eral weeks. Maj. Harrison has made
himself popular with men and off,
GERS by his uniform courtesy and SOL
dierly bearing. He is a product of
one of the earlier training camps and
is one of very few Marylanders to at
tain the rank OF major.

HALF SALUTE THE THING.
New Salutation introduced al
Camp Meade.

Sergt.. J. " Logan of the S7th Com
pany. 154th Depot Brigade. known as
Sergt Small. of Hobolxen. N. j., has
the distinction of getting the shalf
salute from his company, which is
composed Of 45O colored men from
Washington. d. C..
The manifestation of his interest In
the welfare of each man of his COM
pany has won for him the devotion
and respect of the entire company, all
of whom honor him with the half
salute. which has made him one of the
most popular non-commissioned officers
Of the brigade.
The half salute is made thus: The
hand comes down from the regular
position with snappy concave scoop
to the left, indicating that it is cut off.
The sergeant likes it because, he says,
''it is harder to make than the regular
salute"

K1NN1ssoN MEETS BOND.
Colonel and Lieut.. Colonel Of 606th
Infantry Old Friends.

An interesting coincidence In con-
nection with the coming of Col. Kin
Nilsson to the command Of the SOSth
Infantry. colored, now forming. is the.
fact that he had never before met
his lieutenant colonel, John l.. Bond,
although they had been friends.
The officers were once stationed on
the transport work between San
Francisco and Honolulu. AS one,
going out of Frisco, carried some,
stowaways he would stop the others
ship and send the stowaways back to
port. Although their ships stopped
alongside each other many times, the
officers never saw each other until
they came to Meade.
The colonel entered the Army in
1888 and fought the Sioux Indians In
the far west In the early nineties.
He has served at the French front.

chance to go across with Meade troops
soon he transferred here. Pryor, who
was with him, did likewise.

On Trick Flying.
Tin the trick flying the simplest
stunt is the loop. The plane is turned
upside down and run for a short dis
tance to the rear of the original posi-

"A wing dip 10 done by dropping
the wing on the right or the left and
flying upside down as in the loop
when the plane is righted once more.
"The tail spin is quite thrilling, but
one soon gets accustomed to 1t. The
quickest way to reach lower alti-
tude is by means of the nose dive.
The motor is allowed to run as the
drop begins. so that one travels about
1856 miles an hour for awhile. The
motor is slowed down gradually, and
when the drop is completed allowed
to take up gradually again, when the
plane is righted once more.
