AMERICAN GOVERNMENT
TO ANNOUNCE STAND.

Washington, July s.-Intimations
were given in official quarters that a
formal announcement in regard to
the present attitude of the United
States government toward Russia
might be expected shortly.
- So far there has been no official
statement of any kind to throw light
lspon the important decision reached
Saturday when President Wilson dis
cussed the urgent appeals Of the AL
lies for joint action in Russia with
heads Of the state war and navy de-
partments and the chief military
and naval officers. Unof11cially how
ever, word went forth that a definite
policy of action had been determined
upon that would end the long period
Of waiting that followed the rise of
the Bolsheviki.
The understanding here has been
that for military reasons for the pres
ent at least, there would be no an
nouncement of the exact nature of
any movement to be undertaken un-
der the new policy. The task of work.
ing out details and deciding what to
make public and when, is said to
have been left to the supreme war
council at Paris.
The situation of the Czecho-S -Slovak
legions not only in Siberia, but in the
neighborhood of Samara, in central
Russia. was one of the principal sub
jects under discussion at the White
House conference in connection with
the whole Russian problem. It is
understood that the conclusion was
reached that aid should be extended
to these soldiers and that this could
be done without any violation of the
Russia has dropped out of the en-
tente alliance through the forced
Brest-Litovsk treaty.
The Czecho- SlovaksF are not Rus
sian subjects or citizens and desire to
continue fighting the central powers
under the entente alliance and it is
held that they are entirely within
their international right when they
demand free and obtained unobstruc-
allies by the only route that is open
to them-the Siberian railroad and
Vladivostok. Consequently the en-
tente allies deny the right Of the Boil
sheviki to interfere with the progress
of these soldiers.
There is no transportation available
at Vladivostok at all adequate to the
shipment to France especially by the
long Indian Ocean and Mediterranean
Slovaks who are gathering, at that
port and scattered along the line to
Siberian railroad. Consequently if
external aid is rendered to them it
must take the form of strengthening
the Czecho- -Slovaks by military sup
plies and even by entente and Ameri-
can troops. Should it happen that
native Russians and Siberians choose
to rally around these Czecho- -Slovak
forces with the purpose of asserting
their own right to, self government,
the result might be the creation of a
Siberian republic from which the
ideals Of true democracy might pene-
trate into European Russia.
