Small Force Landed Fol-
lowing Hold-Up Of Off
GERS by Russians
Not Intervention Step
Muscoyite Noblemen Reduced
to Sweep Streets to
Obtain Bread

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Landing of
rspanese naval forces at vladivostok
10 protect life and property was re-
norted to the State Department to-day
BY the American Consul there.
The action followed an attack on a
Iananese officer by five armed Russians,
who. upon being refused money, killed
one japanese and wounded two others.
The force landed was said to be small
and only sufficient to prevent further
disorders.
II was learned officially that the
American governmnt attaches no politi-
cal significance to the inc dent. In other
words. it is not regarded as being con-
,ected in anv way with the much dis
.nssed possibility of Japanese inter-
vsntion in Siberia. The landing party
was from q Japanese cruiser stationed
in VIadivostok harbor.
Since the return to Japan from Rus
sia Of Baron Uchida, the japanese
Minister 10 Petrograd, the Japanese
prime Minister has indicated clearly
that Japan does not intend at present
n enter Siberia in military way
without reference to the wishes of the
Russian government. unless Some ex-
IRENE emergency should arise.
1t has been assumed here that such
ar emergency would be presented in
case OF the organization of German
military prisoners in Siberia into an
armed force designed to seize control
Of the country, or the taking posses
sim bv factions hostile to the Entente
Allies OF the great quantity of military
stores accumulated at Vladivostok.
Neither OF these contingencies has
arisen at Vladivostok, and the State
DEPARTMENTS information indicates the
trouble at that port is purely local.
While the Bolsnevik element pre-
dominates at the port, it ever has been
able to preserve order. Consequently,
the attack upon the japanese is regard
ed as indicating the existence of such
situation as under the general prin-
ciples Of international law would not
only warrant but demand the active in
tervent:on Of any foreign naval force
which might be present.

SIBERIAN WAYS
Hope Soon to Reopen Traffic With
European Russia.

SASsoctdted Press C-orrespondence.)
PEkING, Oct. 29-One of the i'm
Mediate results of the Czecho-Slovaks'
success in Siberia is the re%-opening of
normal traffic on the Trans-Siberian
railway, at least as far as Irkutsk, the
service between Vladivostok and Har-
bin having been in operation for some
time and 1t is no strain upon the i'm
to anticipate through COM
munication to Europe at no distant
date.
The American Railway Commission
In Siberia has contributed to this re-
suit. About eighty OF the 500 mem
bers OF the commission which was
accepted by the Kerensky government
went for months to Nagasaki after
the Bolshevik revolution, but the re-
mainder spent the time in Siberia,
where by mixing with the Russian
workers and demonstrating simple
improvements and up-to-date methods
they gradually introduced changes
which have enormously increased the
efficiency Of a portion OF the line.
