notwithstanding to the Dali,
Mail, it is understood that the allies
have decided to ask the Japanese TO
take steps necessary for the protec.
ton Of the allies In the Far East.
Stress is laid on the fact that the
British and Japanese governments
hold that Japan's Intervention in the
Russian affairs is not to be con.
strued as an act of hostility to Rus.
STA or the Russian government. its
purpose is to safeguard menaced al
lied interests and to protect stores
and munitions at Vladivostok and to
assist Russia to tighten and eventual.
ly lift the burden of the German yoke.
Premier Lloyd George visited the
American embassy and had an impo-.
tant conference with Ambassador
Page, according to the Daily News,
which believes the meeting was In
connection with Japan's interventicn
In Siberia.
1t Is quite unusual for a premier to
visit foreign embassies. Such calls are
usually made by the foreign minister.
Accumulated at Vladivostok are
military supplies of all kinds, much Of
American manufacture, and even great.

livered long before the Bolsheviki took
possession OF the Russian government.

ing, however. suffers seriously from
deterioration due to exposure to the
weather and other causes. Some Of
the supplies are on the docks and in
warehouses and even in the open both
at Vladivostok and at points westerly
on the railroad.
This situation is regarded by the
Japanese as warranting some meas
ures to secure these stores, even II
this involves military action on their
part.

New York.-Von Hindenburg's un
certainties concerning whereabouts Of
American troops along the west froat
have been responsible for a series Of
strong accommodating raids by Ger
man shock troops.
The object of the raids was to cap
ture a few prisoners In the various

Americans are holding and in what
strength. There is no humiliation at

that must exist at German headquar-
ters as to the main objective of Ger.

lier in the week the Germans found
Americans in the trenches near Sois-

PALESTINE PURIFIED OF TURKS.
The Turk is gone from the hoI

The Turk is gone from the holy places. Step by step the British ad vanced out of Egypt through the land of Edom and the Philistjne littoral, pressing the Turk northward until the whole tangled highland of Judea and the Plain. of Sharon were cleared of the defilement of his presence. And now all Samaria and the Plain of Els draelon have been liberated by the last great victory of General Allenby. There remain doubtless demoralized bands of Turks in the hills of Galilee, but they will soon have been hunted down. All the lands on this side of Jordan up to the boundaries of the Labanon, where for two generations Turkey has held only nominal sway, will have been redeemed. And be- yond the Jordan the remnants of the Turkish force are darting wildly about in Gilead and Ammon, seeking des- perately an escape from between the British in the Hauran and their Ara bic allies moving north through Moab. There is no way out for the Turks except over the deadly Ara bian desert to the east. Whether they go out into the desert or remain to be made prisoners is all one to the world. They are thrust out of Pales- tine, and that stricken land will know their nlisrule and greed and cruelty no more.-The New Republic.

GERMANS ACCUSE BANNING

Pittsburgh, Penn, Oct. 1O-Charles F. Banning, formerly Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Ban ming Cooper Co.,, Ltd, and Vice Pres ident of the Huessner Engineering Co. charged with having violated the Es pionage act and suspected of being German propagandist, was arraigned before United States Commissioner Knox yesterday. He was released under $5,OO0 bail for action of the Federal Grand Jury.
 The chief witness against Banning were his German friends members of the German club, with whom he is alleged to have had many conferences concerning Americas part in the war.
 Arthur w. Dohmer, chemical en- gineer of the Hannau Engineering Go. testified that in June, 191S,. at the German club Banning said:
 "The American Army will have no chance with the German army. The American Army lacks in equipment and leadership, which was evidenced during recent maneuvers in Maine. The American Army will get a good licking"
 MT. Dohmer testified that Banning several times asserted the government was rotten and that one could buy any of the officials
 Primo de Caspari, a former head waiter at the Duquesne club, .testi- fled that in the fall of 1917 at the Duquesne club Banning, who was watching a parade of draft men, re. marked:
 Look at the poor sheep going t the slaughter"
 Gustave Rotermand, former wait CT at the German club, testified tha Banning often told him he would lik, to see Germany win in the war so tha he could take the next boat back tt Berlin.

BROOKLYN STRIKE
 OF WAR WORKERS

New York, Oct. 1O-When officials or the E. w, Bliss plant, at 53rd street and Second avenue, Brooklyn, refused yesterday to grant an increased wage to about 1000 machinists and their helpers working on government con- tracts, the men quit work and left the yard. The military police will guard the entrance to the plan; until such time as the strike is ended. The com pany Is manufacturing torpedoes at the plant, and it is said the strike will practically tie up that work. Officials said last night however, they did not expect the strike to last long.
 Several months ago the men took their grievances to the War Labor Board. They received an increase of 10 per cent. about three weeks ago, with back pay. They accepted this new scale under protest, declaring it should have been more. They had ex- pected another increase, and when this was not forthcoming they went on strike. Most of the strikers had been receiving about $40 week.

PARIS EAGER OVER NOTE

Paris Oct 1N---While Paris waited for President Wilson's reply to Ger many the French press contented it. self with printing long accounts of anti-armistice speeches in the United States Senate and a full symposium American newspaper opinion, which, as it appears here, was unanimous against an interruption in the fight ing. In fact, the reports of the de- bates in the American Senate share first pages with the news of the great military victories on the west front Senators McCunber, Nelson, and Lodge are as highly thought of in France today as are the American Generals.
 No news of the outcome of any bat tie was ever awaited with more eagerness than was the. reply of the American President to the German Chancellor.
