character at the present moment or in

1 Intervention in ST.
IL IBERIA is designed
principally to prevent extension of Teu-
tonic influence throughout the far east
and to prevent the Germans from seiz-
ing vast stores at Vladivostok and
along the Transsiberian railway
In view of recent developments, how
ever, the conclusion may be drawn that
Japan is aiming primarily at the Boil
shevik elements OF Russia and thus
indirectly at the Germans.
As long as Russia remains under Boil
sheyik control the entente powers can
expect nothing in the way of prevent
ing the extension of German influence
in every direction. A strong repre-
sentative government in Russia can do
much to reorganize the nation and
save it from perpetual Teutonic yoke.

Rush Shipbuilding. VESSELS but
Through the admittance of both Amer
lean and British officials that the allies
are not yet turning out sufficient ships
to master the menacing situation. Sir
Eric Geddes in the house of commons
pointed out that there is an increased
number of U-boats being sunk and that
the Germans were being slowly con-
Guered, but he. on the other hand, stated
that it would be necessary for both
England and the United States to speed
iup their building. It would be some
time, he stated, before the construction
in America would swing the balance
against the tboats, notwithstanding
the increased losses suffered by the Ger
mans. He intiH7ated that one out of
every five U-boats entering the pa
trolled zone about the British waters
was sunk.
Sir John r EIlerman, head of sew
eral important British shipping lines,
however, was not SO optimistic as the
first lord Of the admiralty, he stating
that the allied shipbuilding did not
meet the losses occasoned by ordinary

roads made by the German submarines.

the first lord of the admiralty was tina {

OF Russia and adjoining countries
as an octopus would reach for

When the kaiser sat with face

years previous to the opening OF
the present struggle and vulture-
like studied the map OF territories
reaching out toward the far and
near east and plotted that they
should be his, he possibly little
