Germans to Exploit
Russia by a Loan

LONDON, June ga Reuter- dis
patch from Moscow, undated, says
M. Brousky, Commissioner Of Indus
try and Commerce, made the state
ment at the session Of the Russo
German Commission for the Re-
sumption of Economic Relations that,
in order to meet the Russian en-
gagements to Germany, the Soviet
government would be compelled to
conclude foreign loan, and as a
guarantee for the loan would grant
Germany wide exploitation Of Rus
sia's natural riches, in the form Of
numerous concessions, the control
of which would remain with the Rus
sian government, portion of the
profits going to this government.
Germany, the commissioner said,
would be asked not to interfere with
Russia's internal economic policy or
her relations with countries which
formerly belonged to Russia, such as
the Ukraine Poland and the Caucasus.
Germany would guarantee to Russia
at least half the mineral output of
the Krivoy-Rog and Caucasus re-
gions, and, finally, Germany would
carry out the rectiication Of the
Russo-Ukrainian frontier.

In Russia Numbers
Up to 10000 Men

Czecho-Slovak forces, variously esti-
mated from $4,000 to 10000 strong
have been reported in delayed dis.
patches, dated June 6, to be pressing
eastward through Russia along the
line of the Trans-Siberian Railroad

Hungarian army who had fought with
the Russians against the Teutons and
who planned to reach France by
Vladivostok and America to join the
Allied armies. These are the troops
for whom the Entente governments are
said to have tried to intercede.
In negotiations carried on with the
Biolsheviki for undisturbed passage
through Russia the echo-Slovaks in
sisted upon their right as soldiers to
carry arms. The Russian refusal was
reported TO be based upon the objec-
ton OF the German government to the
passage OF these armed forces through
neutral territory.
On June 10 the Czecho- -Slovaks oc-
cupied Samara, a city of 100000 per-
sons. lying 500 miles east of Moscow

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Although
the Poles in the United States COM
prise only per cent Of the population
they have already contributed 10 per
cent of the deaths in action on the
battle line in France which are
credited to the American expeditionary
force.
These figures, established by care
full statistical study of the American
casualty lists, were transmitted to the
Washington Polish office yesterday
from Chicago, where since the opening
of the war, through the various parish
and other organizations, careful
study and record has been kept.
When the first tabulation was made
few weeks ago the Poles were con-
tributing per cent Of the deaths in
action in France. but the total has
since increased. In transmitting the
record to Washington the Chicago
Statistical Office called attention to
the fact that the first soldier to die in
action out of Chicago, Milwaukee, Pas
siac, N. j., and Webster, Mass, was a
Pole.

of Chicago, chairman of the executive
committee, who sent the figures, "that
this honor roll would aid in making
clear to the American people that the
Polish loyalty to American ideals and
war aims works to deeds and does not
StOp with mere words"
Under the direction of the National
Polish organizations it is planned now
to make a special demonstration in
honor of the Bayonne, N. j., Company

Grated yesterday in France by Presi-
dent Poincare, who in the presence Of
substantial number of the Polish
troops affixed the War Cross.
An American regiment had already
been so decorated, but the Poles in
America who raised the Polish army in
France are specially joyful that the
second honor of this nature was con-
ferred on Polish-American con-
tingent. The possibility that the Poles
in America, who so far have been de-
barred from serving in the American
army, may yet find a place under the
Hitchcock bill, now in Congress. is be-
ing hailed with satisfaction in Polish
circles. -.

Many Russians Expect
Japan to Intervene
By Arthur S. Draper

LONDON, June 23.-According to
well informed Russians, intervention
IN Siberia is believed inevitable. Feel
ing among Russians here continues
strong. and they deplore any move
which might bring the Russians, what
ever their political views, into conflict
with Americans, who, they believe,
sympathize with them.
In Britain there are still two views
about Russia. One, that Japanese in
tervention is military necessity, and
tho other that the loss through the
alienation of Russia would outweigh
any military gain. The latter faction
looks to President Wilson for guild
ance.
In France, where the bulk of opinion
Is in favor Of intervention. apparently
there has been a change recently, and
the Foreign Affairs Committee has
asked the government for an explana-
tion of its policy.

1000 Marine Casualties
Casualties among the marines with

died of disease, "a died Of accidents
and other causes, 264 wounded in &C
tion, and 10 missing in action, inclu6-
ing prisoners.
With about 100000 men now in
France, the small number of deaths
from disease reported is considered

WHAT OF THE GUARD
rRurl;pofop uawkeye

4 number Of wears ago. the state
troops were made part of the federal
force. and at that time IL became
clear. that at the first opportunity,
the state guard would be completely
eliminated. I That has been accom-
u 'ishe6 during thes past two years.
Now. that the boys will soon be com :
ing home. there VIII be no military
organizations in the land except the
siIlar army. There will be no OPP
Portunity. so far as is apparent to the
present time. for the young, men who
have liking for that sort Of thing.
TO acquire some familiarity with mil
itary work and military training.
While the state troops have been
looked down upon in some quarters.
there appears To be no doubt. that
the Rainbow division made a record
thai Is a source. of pride 70 the whole
nation and the Rainbow division was
largely made up. of companies and
regiments of the national guard.
There is no guard organization now.
What OF the future? Shall the guard
be again ORGANIZED as a side show for
the big regular army establishment
Or shall we go back to the days. when
state troops were state troops only ?
Or shall we go still further. to the
time. when the local companies were
entirely independent and had nothing
whatever to do with other companies.
Ii will be recalled that in those
comparatively early days some of the
