dispatched is not known here. nor IS It clear whether the movement is a part of a general plan of action detennlned upon in the absence of American ap- proval and cooperation in an intervene tion programme. British, American and Japanese marines and bluejackets al- ready are ashore at VladivostoS guard ing war stores.
 There was nothing today to indicate that President Wilson had changed his view that a military expedition to Si- beria could not be undertaken without weakening the front in Europe. Until he is satisfied on this point, he is eN- pected to commit the United States to nothing beyond the extensive plan for protective economic aid for Russia which already is taking shape Final decision to put this scheme into operation is said to be what officials meant last week when they said the period of waiting was over.
 John Sookne, of the Russian mission, issued a statement asserting that any attempt to establish a government of na- tional character must fail without friend ly allied Eelp.

WALLACE FRIENDS STATE THEIR MAN
 WILL STAY IN RACE
Intimation That He Would Withdraw in Favor of Teasley Is Emphati-
 cally Denied
By FRED II. GoRMLEY

Montgomery, July 13-lSpeciaLl Supporters of John H. Wallace, JrJ., local optior antt-amendment candidate for governor, claim the anti-amendlsts should think again and think quickly if they believe MT. Wallace will retire from the race in favor of Charles B. Teasley, behind whom certain anti- amendment interests have attempted to center the anti amendment influence during the past two weeks To an observer it seems that the task cut out for themselves by these forces Is hopeless and that the primary will he held August 3 with five candidates in the race as st present, one amend ment candidate and four anti-amend- ment candidates.
 When the Teasley movement was at it's height there was some talk that Mr Wallace would not remain in the race. Political friend and foe alike agree that there is no hope of elimi- hating Brandon. Teasley and Purifov The personal following of W. w.. Brandon is appreciable and will keep him in the race. Teasley will not re- tire as long as certain ti-amendiSts are attempting to center the forces on him. Purifoy haSn heen In the hap1t of quitting any contest he has ever en- tered and as he is beyond 70 years old, he figures that he is too old to learn new political tricks.
 Realizing these, facts, the public turned to Wallace with the exDecta- tion that he would get out as he 1id in 1914 and aid the one centered upon But Wallace will not retire. Instead of doing so, he has doubled his efforts and only today his campaign manager. Oscar S. Lewis. made public a state ment in which he declared that an in- vestieation shows that the amendment will be defeated and that Mir Wallace will be nominated
 Chairman Lewis argued that a great majority of the vote against the amendment is local option and that ns the race he will receive practically the lace will receive not less than so per cent of the anti-amendment vote
 Democrats who have remained loyal and true to principle will not place premium upon betrayal by honoring deserters," said MT Lewis. There fore, they will cast their vote for John Wallace the only man in the race for governor who has Kept the faith ard who has never supported a candidate endorsed by the Anti-Saloon league, while the other candidates for gov ernor have actively co-operated wirh Brooks Lawrence in the past by aidinr nm Tn enoeavoring to place in the governors chair a candidate that he and his cohorts have backed"

REPORTS INDICATE
 MANY SALES WAR
 SAVINGS STAMPS
Booth Assignments forWeek Made - Chairman Ewing Requests Merchants to
 Tabulate Sales

State Director Crawford Johnson of the War Savings ca.hpaign is very muck pleased with reports that have been reaching him during the last lew days from different parts of the state. In nearly every instance the chairmen state that the big drive two weeks ago put stamps into the great ma jority of the homes, and that the work still is going on.
 "It will be several weeks before definite figures as to the drive are known" said MT. Johnson last night. The most encouraging thing to me is the large number of subscribers the reports indicate They show a general diffusion of bonds among the people of Alabama For instance, J. C. Maxwell, chairman of Talladega county, writes that there are 6373 bondholders in his county among all classes of the peo- pie, which is an average of about one in every five or six of the population of the county, and this ratio holds good throughout the state"
 The letter carriers at Birmingham postoffice sold s42,S0l worth of stamps in June, and the postoffice at Oneonta reports sales amounting to s49.4 In many of the counties the people are buying the bonds outright instead of signing pledges.
