Maj Gabrielle d'Annunzio, Italy's
poet-airman, who led the raid on

Greeted With Cheers by Off

Paris-A woman alighted from the
train at what remains Of a little rail-

Her hair was trifle gray but her
cheeks were pink, and she seemed to
be very happy to be arriving in that
place.
Very soon the reason became ap-

duty in the station. He stared and
gave a shout, "Mrs. Haring."

she shook hands-a handshake such
as is exchanged between friends long

the whole American army wanted to
follow her.
1t was a happy party, a laughing,

that surrounded the little Y. M. c. A.

the troops she had served and left
for a time. They were doing their

to see her and were succeeding won

these men-this army which will be

over and victory comes to the allies.
Her proudest moment was when the
commander of the Poles, in public
manner, bestowed on her the title
of Godmother Of the Polish Army.

JAPAN DOES NOT DISCUSS
SITUATION WITH AMERICA

Washington, March Cit was made
plain today that the United states has
neither dissentsd nor consented to any
plan of Japan for action In Siberia,
and that previous statements that no
direct communications lave been ex-
changed between the two governments
on the subject were correct.
The American government has been
fully informed concerning the siiua-
ton by Great Britain, JaDan's ally. by
special treaty, and discussions between
London and Washinglnc are continu-
ing. But NO far ar cav be learned ia
pan has not even indirectly asked the
approval of her plans by United States
consequently the latter is not called
upon to make formal expression.
Great Britain Is said tn have ex-
pressed confidence I'm Japan's intcn-
ti0ns, with n view to aiiaying any ap-
prehension here that Japan might do
more than protect the war stores al
vladivostok and combat German aetiy-
II tiles. The understanding Is that the
state department has been satisfied oI
this point.
