JAPAN'S Plan IS
URGED BY Cecil
Says Germany is Organizing
Captive Soldiers TO Con-
quer Siberia
PRUSSIAN GENERAL
IS ON THE WAY

LONDON, March 9.-Lord Robert Ce-
Gil. Minister Of Blockade, ina statement
yesterday pointed out the seriousness Of
the German menace In Siberia, and
urged japanese Intervention there.
I'VE have Information today" said
Lord Robert, that German prisoners in
Siberia are being organized. and that a
Prussian general has been sent to take
charge of them
In Transcaucasia, said Lord Robert.
certain elements of the Bolsheviki, act
ing in collusion with German and Turk
ish agents, had adopted openly an anti
Entente attitude and barred out the
British mission which was going 90
help the Armenains, and had cut British
wire communications through north
Persia with Tilis and south Russia.
Lord Robert said he had received as
surances that many Russians would
welcome a Japanese expedition TO pre-
vent the Germanization of Siberia.
In fact" he said Il cannot conceive
any patriotic Russian who would not
prefer the assistance Of a friendly
Power, aiming at the restoration OF
order, to conquest by a ruthless and un-
principled enemy.
The japanese alone can act effective
ly in the present crisis If they are
intrusted by the Allies with the duty Of
going TO the assistance Of Russia
against Germany ! am sure they will
carry out the task with perfect loyalty
and great efficiency.
From the outset Of our alliance with
Japan she has carried out with great
fidelity all her obligations as an ally
We always have found her scrupulously
loyal in the performance Of her obliga-
tions.
81 do not think IL is generally realized
how tremendously serious the German
penetration Of Russia really Is, or what
a gigantic scheme Of world conquest the
Germans now have undertaken.
1T would be in the richest degree
foolish, If not criminal, il the Entente
failed to take every step possible 10
illustrate this German scheme.
Therefore l personally believe we
would be we'll advised TO seek the as
sistance Of Japan i'm a matter in which
she. and she alone, can do effective
service

A. QUITH SAYS Peace
MUST BE BY people
Styles BreSt-LitovSk Treaty
as One of Humiliating
Cspitulation
REAL KEY IS
IN THE WEST

CUPAR, Scotland. March 9.-There
are two keys to the world war posi-
ton, said Herbert II. Asquith. formerly
premier IN an address to his cOnstitu-
ents here. These keys are the COM
mand of the seas aud Of the front in
France and Flanders. Both, he said
after all vlcissitudes. still remain in the
hands Of the Allies
"While it is impossible to avert our
eyes from the tragedy unfolding in
Russia and the formidable dangers that
tragedy has revealed he said these
dangers do not give us apprehension.
There are two important factors In the
situation. First. Russia, as an effective
military factor has been wiped Off the
slate; second the German procedure in
The so-called negotiations with Russia
and the light they have thrown upon
The minds and methods Of Germany's
present rulers. There rarely has been
a more instructive contrast between
pretention and intention"
Referring TO the speech Of Imperial
Chancellor Won Hertling. Mr. Asquith
said;
THE very moment he was making
his address his subordinates were writ
ing terms, not Of peace, but Of capitu-
lalion, as harsh and humiliatlng as
could be found in the annals Of history
Districts on the Black sea and in. the
Caucasus We're to be handed back 10
share with Armenia the horrors and
dcsolatiou Of Turkish rule Could any
one doubt after that the fate Of Bel
gium, if Germany was ever able to die
late TO the Western Powers after the
pattern set at Brest-Litovsk2
1T is not by such roads that a clean
peace is sttainable. The so-called treaty
Of Brest-Liiovsk was everything that
an International compact ought not to
be. The only peace worth having must
be peace, not OF rulers or parliaments
but Of peoples.
"One thing seems 10 be Of paramount
importance in the worlds best interest,
and that Is that the people with whom
in the long run the issue rests should
be brought 10 understand that, so far
as the Allies are concerned. we have
but one governing end TO which every
thing else is subordinate. namely, to
build upon that foundation the fabric
Of the future world"
