The Siberian Question Looms Big

Significant.

Washington. April 81 The appoint

home MINISTER, to the office of foreign
ssccretary. Is a Inakfshift 10 tide the
'fcrauchI cabinet over al immediate en-
harrassmcnt and forerlIns the overthrow
Of the present ministry, according 10 DIP
lnnatlc authorltics here, who state that
really eligible and logical japanese for
the Office refused to accept on account
nf the approaching end Of the Terauchl
government
The Siberian question was declared tO
have been merely a prctext for forcing
an issue with the government, the true
situation being that the SpIyukaI party,
which rs IN the asccndancN IN the Diet,
desires to assume the powers Of govern
ment itself
The existing ministry was not formed
along party lines and has maintained
itself in office by the support gwen IT
by a combination of parties, the most
powerful Of which Is the SeiyUkaI. whose
leader II Eahash llara
The change IN foreign ministers. and
even of the government, II was asserted,
cannot materially affect the lapanese
foreign policy, the three fundamental
prnclnlcs of winch are the perpetllatlon
interference IN ChIna's internal affairs
and the maintenance of friendly rela-

The project for intervention IN Siberia
has not been Abandoned and II WAS
lntlmated that Eiscount Ishm the new
Japanese ambassador, who Is duo IN
Washington early next week, soon will
undertake TO arrive st fuller under
standl ng with the American government
on the question Whether Japan shall
enter Siberia at the mandate Of the Allied
Powers or in her own national interest Was
believed TO depend largely upon the attl

matter
Originally this government held that
intervention would be inadviSable at that

Washington. April p The United

ever for doubt on this point This is
true as well of Great Britain, British
officials having announced that there

When President Wilson issued the
proclamation taking over Dutch ships
he sought to make Il clear that 1T covered

British Military Head.
SEES LONG BATTLE AHEAD

London. April - With the Germans
IN possession of KENNEL HILL the question
now uppcrmost in the minds of students
of the war IN London Is whether 1t may
not be necessary to Withdraw from the
present Gpres positions. General Delma
Radcliffe. Chief Director oi M,itard
Operations Of the War Office, expressly
the opinion last night, that IT might bc
possible to hold on, but equally might
not be convenient Ia do 50 80 we hope
to get the Germans out, he added.
The battle for KENNEL has been par
ticularly violent The hlll Is n most I'M
portant tactical feature its ISOLATED

heights extending westward 10 Mont
dcS Cats and 10 some extent, domnat-
ing it's western nclghbors The German
attack on the tcmmel front involved
both French and British troops
Although We and the French have
fought together for three and half
wears, SAID General Radcliffe, "and have
the most perfect confidence III each other,
we must expect the Germans 90 try to ind
a Joint in our armnr The German policy
has been IN evidence III the last few days,
and there Is nothing to alter the view that

been unable to break II ur to DIVIDE II

Their is no reason to alter the view
that hlg offensive, on greater scale
than either Of the two previous ones.
Is still to hr cx}cctf~d between Arras and
Amiens: but the main Stratagical object
with which the Germans started on March
Il to trv to drive IN between the French
and British. has been a failure - Tar TIN
whole succrSs of the Germans has been
tactical They have won ground and
taken prisoners and guns, tui they havc
achieved No change IN the stratcglcal
position, and We have evidence To Prov
that they confidently expected 10 do that
IN a fortnight whereas II Is nov five weeks,
and they have failed 80 We must cNpcct
them 10 90 on with the process. and II Is
not next week or nCxt month that we may
expect them To Cease We must expect
to fight them for the whole summer, and
IN the ultimate analysis II Is a question OF
who holds the last reserves on the western
front
Those reserves are now IN tho hands ot
the Commander in { hef OF the Allied
armies In France, General Foch. IN whom
both armIcS have complete confidence.
Tic has 50 far employed only a small
proportion Of the reserves available, which
Is an excellent augurv ior the future
This IS a long-drswn-out test OF the en-
durance Of nations That Is why It is SO
imperative for tins country and the other
countries on our side To get hold OF every
man they possibly can for the battlefront.
One cannot impress too strongly on the
whole community that what Is going tn
WIN in the end Is men.
