Intervention in Russia

A ENCOURAGEMENT that Japan and the
a United States have reached an agreement
lot JOINT military intervention in Siberia will
meet with unqualified approval in America
OtHeF hatons with which we are associated
IN prosecuting the war have long since made
known their favora Bile attitude in the matter
under the agreement it is stated that the
President will made statement shortly and
probably q joint proclamation will be issued
assuring the Russian people that the entente
has no aggressive designs in Intervening the
sole purpose being TO prevent German aggres-
sion, protect allied property and interests
and give the Russian people unhampercd on
portunity, with such assistance as they may
be Wiling TO accept, TO work out their own
problem of firmly establishing democratic
government AS an accompaniment Of the
military undertaking, there will be a com
mission TO extend economic aid
Now that Intervention has been determined
upon. the extent TO which it succeeds will
depend largely on the CELEBRITY and viEor with
which 1t Is undertaken and carried forward
The nucleus for arresting the German menace
already exists in the organized Czecho-Slay
forces which control the greater portion or
The Siberian Railway, and if the Russian
people are in reality dissatisfied with thu rule

quickly manifest itself IN organized effort

II True, a National Shame

THEODORE ROOSEVELT is still unhappy.
He still is consumed with Impotence.
NO undertaking of this administration, how
ever successful it may be- excites his APP
plause. Not even the gallant achievements
OF the army which the government has placed
in Europe comes in for a line OF praise in
the epoch king speech which the
Colonel unburdened 10 the assembled Repub-
cans at Saratoga. Nothing seems be

The real truth seems to be that Colonel
Roosevelt has assumed the attitude Of a critic
OF the whole War program of the government.
He probably believes that for the good OF
the cause the government should have re-
