ONLY ZOO LAND
TO PROTECT In
VLADIVOSTOK.
Consul Caldwell Reports
that No Protest Has
Been Made.

Only 100 Japanese and British, pre-
susnably sailors, have landed at viadi-
vostok. The state Department made
this announcement yesterday upon
the report Of John u. Caldwell. Unit.
ed States Consul at vladIyostok.
The department does not regard
this operation - Of any political
significance. Il 10 not considered to
be the beginning Of japanese inter-
vsntion.
Consul Caldwell reported that 80
Japanese landed on last Saturday.
Later 30 more. including nifty British.
were landed. The japanese officers
proclaimed when the forces were put
ashore that their purpose was purely
to preserve order and protect japanese
citizens and property. The same
statement was made when the British
men-o'-waf landed.
Oficials at the State Department
are Of the opinion that the purpose
OF this landing cannot be misunder-
stood by the Soviet governments un-
less, they wish TO misunderstand It
deliberately. The reports from
Consul Caldwell fail to mention any
protest by the BolshevikI.
II a protest should be made, dipio-
mats say, II would probably be
ignored. II Is still considered a Dos
sibility that the allied governments
may succeed in securing the assent
OF the Russian government, what
ever II may be, to Japanese or other
allied aid in resisting the march Of
the German invaders. But In view
Of the fact that no allied government
has - yet recognized the Bolsheviili
administration OF Russia 1t was point
ed out that the whole problem is
still remote,
