JAPS AND BOLSHEV|kI
(ContInued from k'irst Page.l

CONTINUED from First Page
In some quarters it Is feared that
lawless elements may seize upon the
throw the city government. For sew
eral months Vhdivostok has been
governed b a coalition body made up
of representatives of the Bolsheviki
party and the conservatives. 1t Is
said the Bolsheviki party has been
growing In strength and has threat
ened upon revolution If any foreign
powers attempted to aid in policing
the city.
American diplomatic officials see no
political significance in the action
taken by the commander of the Japa
nese fleet, The belief is held that
lawlessness has been growing in
Via dtvostok in the past week and that
highwaymen have been operating
openly.
Japanese business houses and pub
lie warehouses contain millions Of
dollars worth of merchandise and war
supplies shipped from the allied
countries. More than 100000
worth OF war supplies from the United
States are piled upon the docks. Men
in close touch with conditions in
Vladivostok say that the taking OF
life by Russian bandits may be only
a prelude to looting and If lawless-
ness breaks out foreign property
would be among the first seized by
Russians.
One OF the interesting questions
brought to n head by the failure of
the Vladivostok police to guard the
lives of the japanese residents is
whether the Japanese government
will treat with the present Russian
government as a political entity. 1t is
a matter of established precedent that
the japanese force will not be with
drawn until assurances have been
given to Japan that her citizens will
be protected. Furthermore, under
the esta blished customs of nations
Japan probably will not withdraw her
armed farces until sne has demanded
and received an apology and explana-
ton. II is also probable that she
will ask an indemnity for the death
Of one OF her citizens.

Washington, June members
of the house naval committee were
assured by Secretary Daniels late
yesterday that Atlantic coast de-
fenses against submarines were ade-
quate and it will be unnecessary to
recall vessels from the war zone to
deal with submarines ON this side
The secretary said the purpose Of
the Germans evidently is to frighten
the American people into demand
ing the return of some OF their
naval forces now abroad.
The navy department has heard
rumorS for months of great new
German U-boatS. 50 large that they
could operate efficiently across the
Atlantic and without re-fueling
places on this side. but no definite
confirmation has ever been received.
Mr.. Daniels said il now appears
that the schooner Edna. found bot
tom up several days ago and towed
into Lcwes, Del, also was a sub
marine victim. Her crew was res
cued and landed at New York.
He added that nothing further
had been heard from the steamship
Carolina carrying 220 passengers,
since her radio distress calls Sunday
afternoon saying that she was being
shelled by submarine.
Six Known to Be Lost.
The sinking OF six vessels by the
submarines had been definitely es-
tablished by the navy, Mr. Daniels
announced. Besides the Pratt and
Edna, the vessels sent down were
the schooners Jacob H. Haskell, Is
abel h. Wiley Hattie Dunn and Ed
ward If. Cole all previously report
ed in news dispatches The crews
of all the vessels were saved except
one man from the Pratt.
