ALLIED ARMY TO
INVADE SIBERIA
JAPANESE AGREE TO PROPOSAL
FOR AMERICANA JAPANESE:
OCCUPATION.
TWO FOLD PURPOSE OF
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT
Propose to Lend Military Assistance to
czeeho- sIovaks and to Give General
Economic Help to Russia-Japanese
Favor Dispatch Of Strong Force,
other Allies to Cooperate.
1Rx the Associated Press.l

Toxic, Tuesday July 16.-Japanese
newspapers today publish the terms Of
an American proposal to send Ameri-
can troops to Siberia. The news
papers declare that the Japanese gov
eminent has decided to accept the
suggestion made by the American gov
eminent that Japan also send troops.
There is great activity in Japanese
official circles and the newspapers de-
vote columns TO the subject OF inter
VENT on. They dwell on the great~eX-
tent of the expedition and speculate
regarding the number of divisions
Japan will send to Siberia.
The newspapers also say that En-
peror Yoshihito has postponed his de-
parture from Tokia for his summer
villa on account of important develop
mcnts which nave taken place.
Aims If United States.
According to information In Toxic,
the plans Of The United States in Rus
STA are twofold: First, military as
sistance to the Czecflo- Slovaks, and,
second, giving general economic help
to Russia.
The United States is described as
feeling that the Czecho-Slovaks should
not be abandoned while they are striv-
ing to reach their aim. 1t is said
there is no desire ON the part Of the
American government to intervene in
Russian affairs, but that it favors the
dispatch of sufficient forces to- leave
the C'zecho- Slovaks free to insure the
safe arrival Of their comrades from
the interior.
The impression here tonight is that
Japan, in a spirit of cooperation with
her ALLIES, will follow the suggestion
and, like the Americans, send troops.
Great Britain and France, it is said,
also will send small continents so as
to make the movement er-allied.
Japs Favor Strong Force.
Many Japanese leaders, however,
ments in Siberia than have been sug-
gested by the United States. Their
IDEAS are based on combating the
eastward extension of German int1u-
ence and the safeguarding Of Japan's
interests.
1t is suggested as not being unlikely
that the Japanese government, re-
spending to this opinion, which is
growing. later may open negotiations
with the United States and the en-
tente governments concerning the wis
dom of Intervention IN Russia, which,
while being chiefly directed by Japan
would be supported by all the allies
The indications are that the states
men who guide the policies OF the en-
pire desire 10 work in close harmony
with the allies, including the United
States.
Political Leaders to Toxic.
1t is remarked that any action in
Siberia must have the support of the
Japanese political groups. Ex-Premier
Saionji, -Ministed OF Home Affairs
Hara. and other political leaders are
hurrying to Toxic.
JCzecho- Slovak forces have followed
up their military successes in Siberia
by requesting assistance and especial
~ military aid from the entente allied
powers.
