AUSTRIAN TROOPS
REFUSE TO FIGHT
Continued fun pase -

Gated that their countries are more
than willing that Japan should step
into the war by acting to guard huge
supplies at VladivostoE and Hsrbtr
and to prevent Germany from getting
q grasp either on the Siberian railway
or on eastern Siberia.
But there was an overwhelming
curiosity In allied circles as 20 how
the United States stood on the pro-
posal either for Japan to go IL alone
or In cooperation with allied and
American forces.
It was reported that the Japs had
definitely proposed Siberian action
to the allies and the United States
and that the United States was IN
clined to favor 1t now.
Japan has repeatedly said she
would take no steps in the war which
were not sanctioned by her allies. So
presumably she has at least sounded
out" these allies and apparently has
received favorable intimations in re-
ply. Japanese diplomats have let It
be known that Japan Is ready" to
act in Siberia and press dispatches In
dictate that developments in Japan are
being hidden by the censor. This
might indicate mobilization of forces
or actual movement of troops and
supplies.
Reports that the Japanese diet has
made an important statement of pol
fey toward the far eastern problem,
also tended to show that something
nom entous is at least under consid-
GRAFTON in Siberia.
japanese participation in the war
would doubtless mark an important
turning point. Japan is cognizant OF
German Vaccinations in the far east
and recent developments have indi
Gated that in addition to Mitteleuropa
Germany is ambitiously seeking a Ber
lin-to-Tokio plan. This Is impossible
of realization In military sense army
men feel.
