RUSSIANS HAVE
PROTESTED JAPS
LANDING FORCES
Assert Feeling Of Indigna-
ton Pervades Nation
Over Occupation.
CLAIM JAPS SUPPLY
GUNS TO SEMENOFF
Sweeping Denial Is Made
That Interests of Nippon
Are Threatened.

Moscow, Tuesday, April 9-(By the
Associated Press)-A protest against
the landing of Japanese armed forces
at Vladivostok has been sent to tho
Japanese consul there by commit
tee representing the all-Siberian So
viets. Copies Of the protest have
been delivered to the other foreign
consuls in Vladivostok. The protest
says the feeling of indignation among
the Russian masses caused by the
landing has been intensified by the
statement issued by Admiral Kato, the
japanese commander. 1t is denied
that Japanese in Vladivostok are in
danger, and the declaration is made
that the landing is an interference in
domestic affairs, similar to the Japan
csc participation in the civil war at
lagovieshtchensk in the Amur prov
ince, where the Japenese are charged
with having taken up arms against
the authority Of the soviet
The murder of japanese in Vladi-
vostok, it is said, was already of a
provocative character and cannot be
charged to the legal authorities. The
protest declares the japanese inter-
ference is an openly reactionary
movement which threatens relations
between the japanese and Russian
peoples. Deep friendship for the la
boring masses in Japan and other
countries is expressed in the protest
which adds that they will undoubt-
eddy raise their voices to compel the
Japanese government to withdraw.
Communication with that part OF
Manchuria here Gen Semenoff, the
anti-Bolshevik leader, has been OPP
Grating, has been cut. A Siberian
committee which has been comforting
with Chinese delegation in Chita for
the purpose of stopping raids by Gen
Semenoff and restoring order on the
Siberian railroad has returned to Irk-
utsk and asks that troops be sent pre-
sumbably to begin operations against
Gen. SGmenoff
Russian newspapers charge tina,
the Japanese have supplied Gen
Semenoff with artillery for the pur.
pose of undermining the soviet au-
thority in Siberia.

LONDON NEWS IN
ARTICLE REFERS
CONSCRIPT BILL
Daily News Calls Measure of
Government "Midsum-
mer Madness"
POST TERMS HOME
RULE MOVES UNWISE
Most of Daily Papers Agree
With Premier But Advise
Utmost Caution.

London, April 10.-Most of the
morning newspapers agree with the
principles of Premier Lloyd-George's
man power appeal. There is no quar-
rel with it, but several papers declare
there is need for caution.
The Daily Mail says, however, that
the choice now being made is between
victory and defeat, adding:
mo faint heartedness of the sur
vivors must make the sacrifice of our
dead in VAIN
There is no other course than that
proposed, it adds, "as Russia has fail
ed US and the United States has not
been able to send us armies in time"
The paper says that Irishmen can
not be excluded with men of SO in
England called up for service.
On the other hand the Daily News
says that any steps that will further
the prosecution of the war must be
pursued but says: "In striking a bal
ance we must satisfy ourselves that
the gain will be more than the 1oss.'
The paper then deals with the Irish
proposal, which it says seems like
midsummer Madness" adding:
For every battalion it brings US it
will mean the loss of two needed to
hold in check an indignant people
stung once more into open rebellion"
No government measure, the Times
declared, has ever had a background
more grim or a justification more i'm
perat1ve. The Times adds:
I'VE shall certainly not ATTEMPT. es-
pecially in the light Of the latest news
from France, to PREJUDICE the attitude
which the Nationalist members may
ultimately adopt toward this obvious
measure of justice to the rest of the
United Kingdom and to the Irishmen
OF Canada and the United States?'
The Morning Post rejoices that the
premier and his colleagues have re.
solved on a straight, just and cour-
ageous policy toward Ireland, but it
says the proposal to introduce a meas
ure of home rule in Ireland is unwise
and unjust as it is an attempt to con-
c1liate the irreconcilables.
Premier Lloyd-George, says the Ex-
press, undoubtedly was voicing British
opinion when he declared that it was
lntolerable that young Irishmen should
be left ito prosper and riot when
British manhood was modified for
military service.

MUST BE ALERT
AGAINST WORK OF
The GERMAN. spy

Some of our complacent people
have come to feel rather satisfied
about the situation on the German
spy menace. Not many munltlon
plants have been blown up lately.
There has not been such an epidemic
of incendiary fires. 1t looked as II
the plotters had been rounded up by
our vigilant secret service, and as II
the arrogant German hopes of hold
ing I'D our war activity are once more
beaten.
We were too sure. It is simply tha'
new style of spying has been eVolv"
ed, and one far more dangerous. Ap-
parently the potato warehouse ourn-
ers and bomb plotters have been call
ed in. There is a bigger game Tor
them to play.
The up to the minute style Of spy
ing is to work your way into war
work factory, and create defects IN
the product. So now we hear that
the airplanes were delayed two
months by spies who cut out sections
of steel and substituted lead, so that
the frame of the plane would col
lapse under strain. Also gas masks
are said to have been defective for
similar causes.
All these forms of "Kultur" will
but make the American people one
degree madden, and more determined
to put their foot on the Kaiser's neck.
1t was noted about simultaneously
with these reports that number OF
pro-Germans had been tarred and
feathered and ducked in canals, etc.
That is refreshing, but merely Incl
dental.
1t is time to get these spies. And
also to do something more than treat
them as honored guests in internment
camps.
Furthermore the war work plants
should be raked with a fine tooth
comb to get disloyal people out. We
can't trust them moment. We must
be sure of all our war workers. We
have been too slow. We the Ameri-
cans who pride ourselves on our alert
ness, have been strangely befooled by
the supposedly phlegmatic German.
It is time to get busy and come down
on this thing as if we meant bust
ness.

AMERICANS ACT
AS HONOR GUARD
TO KING GEORGE

London, April 10-American SOL
diers acted as a guard of honor to
King George and Queen Mary yester-
day when they inspected a famous
works where thousands of hands are
employed day and night. Their ma
jesties conversed freely with officers
and men and commented on the smart
and soldierlike appearance of the
Americans
Queen Mary, responding to a re-
quest for an autograph, used a SER
geants back as a writing pad while
she wrote Mary R., 1918" The king
also added his autograph, whereupon
an American officer remarked:
This is not war, but it is very hu-
man"
Eyes, very human" replied the
king, smiling.
The king, speaking to several
Americans with whom he and the
queen conversed, said:
81 am very glad indeed to see
American soldiers in England and a
fine stamp of men they are. When I
was in France not long ago I had the
opportunity of seeing troops from the
United States. They impressed me
very much with their excellent bear
ing and was told they are becom-
ing efficient very rapidly"
Amid the surroundings of imple-
ments of war their majesties dis
played human touch by sending the
following message by pigeon post to
Prince Henry, who has just arrived
in Sandringham on a holiday:
Hope you have arrived safely.
Give MESA ges to all our friends at
Sandringham.'

Wednesday, April 10

Contrary to the early reports of the
confagration, the blaze did not start
on the third floor of the tenement
but in the wine room in the rear of
the saloon conducted by Safferstein
& Rich. Chief johnson would not
make any definite statement as to the
motive which prompted the incen-
diarism, but limited that collecting of
heavy insurance might be at the bot
tom of the crime.
The fire was first discovered at 2:2f
a. m. when it had reached the floors
of the tenement above the saloon.
Scenes of indescribable panic followed
as men, women and children rushed
from the house to the street in scant
night attire. Three alarms were
sent in from different boxes.
The first was sent in from box 1872,
and was answered by Engines and
5, Truck 1 and Chemical 2. The
second alarm followed Immediately
from box 342, and was answered by
Engine 8. The second alarm was no
sooner recorded when another was
pulled from box 331. The last call
was answered by Engines / and 2
and Chemical 1.
The first contingent of the Fire De-
partment arrived upon the scene in
charge of First Assistant Chief Geo.
Beardsley. Chief Johnson answered
box 342. 1t was at once seen that
the fire was one of the hottest en-
countered recently, and all efforts
were made by the f1remen to keep
i,
anslre section which is thickly popd-
lated.
After assuring themselves that the
Is residents of the tenement were in
safety the firemen settled down to one
of the most stubborn battles and it was
only after nearly an hours hard fight
ing that they finally had the blaze
| out
Upon investigation it was discover
ed that a fire had been built up
against the window of the wineroom
attached to the saloon on the outside
and when set alight the blaze was
famed by the high wind which was
| blowing in a manner that the inter-
Tor of the saloon caught fire.
Loud explosions were heard as baE-
rels of whiskey were reached by the
flames and this at first gave rise to
the belief among the panic stricken
residents of the neighborhood that
bombs had been planted.
Joseph Lipstiz, owner of the prop
erty, estimated the loss as being $4,-
| 900, but Chief johnson stated that he
| figured that the loss would be about
| $4,000. James and Lewis, who con-
duct a confectionery store at 257 Lex
ington avenue, state that the loss to
their stock will amount, to $3.50 and it
Is not covered by insurance. They
also lost their entire worldly possess
sions when their apartment in the
building above was Quilted by the
flames.

EGG CONTEST

The hens in the laying contest at
Storrs have now produced grand total
of more than $4,000 eggs. This point
was reached in the twenty
week, during which the lay was 4264
or a yield of approximately 81 per
cent. Fred Rockwood's Buff Wyan-
dottes from South Brookline, N. H,
were in first place for the week with
production of Sc eggs. Deer Brook

A Canadian pen of Barred Rocks, a
New York pen of the same breed, a
Connecticut pen of Reds, and Con-
necticut pen of Leghorns all tied for
fourth place with So eggs each.
The season for water glass preser-
walton of eggs is now at hand. To
predict the precise moment at which
eggs will reach the lowest price, is
Of course, a very uncertain matter. 1t
can, however, be said that in general
April and May are the two best
months in which to buy. Fortunately
the best eggs to preserve are those
that are produced during this period.
1t Is perhaps still more futile to pre-
dict egg prices for next winter and
yet there are now certain indications
