TO STATE disposition
President Believed About to Tell Con-
gress Japanese Intervention Should
Be opposed-Enemy Attitude
Bar to Further Parleys.

Washington, March 1S.--A forceful
from President Wilson soon. 1t is in
dicated that the president has de-
termined to end his silence in regard
to Americas position toward the pro-
posed Japanese expedition into Siber-
ia. At the same time 1t was plainly
stated that all talk of peace now is
idle in view of Germany's activities
in the near east and her ruthless
invasion of Russia.
"Peace Must Come by Sword"
In light of the news that the presi-
dent will clarity the confusion about
the fact that he has definitely set his
foot down on peace talk, officials and
diplomats believe the president will
definitely dictate that peace now must
come by the sword.
The United States and Japan are
continuing to exchange views over
Japanese Intervention in Siberia, but
the American position of opposition
to the move Is unchanged, it was
learned officially.
Japan Presents Arguments.
This was the first intimation that
this government had any positive
statement on the Japanese problem
since it became known that our
views were against Intervention. Jap
anese views were not revealed.
The exchange, however, is in friend
ly fashion and it is assumed that
Japan is presenting arguments to
Offset the American claims of lack
| Of necessity and danger of Russian
upheaval if Japanese troops land.
The fact that President Wilson now
| contemplates a statement on the 81
! berian situation is presumably due to
| the Japanese views, to the British of
fetal terminations of support of in
tervention and to the Russian tend
ency to be suspicious of the Japanese
move.
Stronger Attitude Shown.
A stronger attitude on the part Of
the American government has beer
shown in its determination to seize
neutral shipping needed to accom-
plish its ends. Officials here have
strongly indicated during the las
week that this government is con
vinced Count Czernin. Austrian min
lister of foreign affairs, is dominated
hopelessly by the German junker in
fiuence-as indicated by demands up
on Rumania and his failure to re
spond to the presidents last speech
on basic peace principles.
Germany Plunder Bent.
Bitter denunciation of Germany by
pocrisy has followed the peace words
of Hertling and the war acts of Hin
denburg in relation to Russia ant
the near eastern situation. Tha
Germany is plunder bent-drunk II
her conquest OF small and rich tel
ritories made in her invasion OF al
the principles upon which civilize
nations operate and live, has beel
the belief of officials and diplomat
since Germany's crusade through tn
near east began.

that in every one of the 4S cases rail-
way money was not turned In. Rail-
road men report that since the gov
ernment took control the system of
espionage over conductors is more
strict and complete than ever before.
Call for shipbuiIders Delayed.
Washington, March 18.-Men who
volunteered for ship building will not
be called in any large numbers for
some time, the Department of Labor

they are skilled mechanics. Public

BREACH IN RUSSIAN CABINET

Petrograd, March 18.-Social revolu'
tionary commissaries have quit the
Russian cabinet, pending settlement of
the peace question at the Moscow

ton cabinet are becoming stronger.

left faction, appealed to the peasants

against the Germans, declaring the
letters" represent the masses.

Many American BattIepIanes To
Be In France For Protection
of Troops BY That Time.
DELAY NO so SERIOUS
Production Program Only so Days Be
hind With Every Prospect That
Some of the Delay Will
Be Made Up.

Washington, March 1S.-In suffi-
cient quantity to insure adequate pro-
lection of the sectors then held by
American troops, American-built bat
tleplanes will be in France by July.
This statement rests on the highest
authority and was made with full reg
ognition of all failures and disap-
pointments that have hampered the
development of the air program.
Figures on the aviation situation
as we'll as facts and figures on every
other branch of the governments
war preparations were laid before vir-
tually the full membership of the
House military committee, as they
had been disclosed to the Senate com
mittee.
Means Teamwork, Gays Kahn.
The comment of Representative
Kahn OF California, ranking Republi.
can member of the House committee.
expressed the sentiment of the House
members on the new policy. He said
1t means team work by the whole
government on the enormous prob
lens that face it.
The figures revealed to the commit.
tee; the immediate current demands
of the war program, and the
progress being made in meeting them
Mr.. Kahn said, made it clear that
the country was still unawake to t.
enormity of its Undertaking. He pI
iicted that great results could be
looked for from now on IL the week
ly conferences with the legislative
| committees are continued.
Delay Not Serious.
II was disclosed to the committee
members that the aviation program
is far short of what had been hoped
for. Figures estimating that defici
ency in percentages that have been
quoted, however, were shown to be
wrong. No such method of calcula
ton has been evolved.
