ed to the effect that the organiza-

to the extent of taking a hand in
the selection and election Of legis-
lative candidates. A committee
of ten was named and the plan
calls for the concentration Of or

That committee is headed by
Juls j. Anderson and, among the
other members are G.. A. Peterson,
Joel Lichten, Robert Atkinson,
Fred Anderson, Fl. j. Bouchard,

Radical Departure From Established
Rules of international Lew Would
Be Involved in Forcible En-
trance Into Neutral Country.

Washington.-An early decision
probably will be reached on the mo-
mentous question as to whether Amer

Japan in a campaign in eastern 81
IBERIA to cOunteract possible German
activities in that quarter and save the
great supply of military stores accu-
INFLATED at Vladfvostok and interior
points on the Siberian railway.
1t is freely admitted in official cir
cles that this is a very great question
indeed. A radical departure from es-
tablished rules of international law
would be involved in the forcible en-
trance into neutral country, and con-
sideratiOn must be given to the pos
sible effect upon the Russian people of
such course in their relations to the
present war. Already there has been
some apprehension that great numbers
of Russian soldiers, rather than re-
turn to. their farms and shops, would
voluntarily join the central armies, and
some evidence of a foundation for this
fear is found in Berlin dispatches an
nouncing the entry into the German
army of several regiments of Estho-
mans.

Critical Point Reached.

On the other hand, growing indica-
tons that Japan cannot much longer
be restrained from taking some action
in Siberia are causing serious consid-
GRAFTON of the Japanese invitation to
the entente allies and America to par
ticipate. The alternative would be to
withhold from Japan the cooperation
she holds she has the right to expect
and let her undertake, single-handed,
the weight of the campaign in Siberia
and deal without counsel from the
allies, with the large questions involved
in the future disposition of any ter
ritory on the Asiatic mainland which
she might occupy.
1t is learned that the issue is now
approaching the critical point, in the
opinion of the Japanese government,
which has concluded that some such
action as it proposes to take in ST.
IBERIA is imperative as defensive
measure against Germanic aggression
and control of the wreck of the late
governmental machinery in Siberia.
