ACTION SOON To
HELP RUSSIANS
Activity at State Department
at Washington Believed to In
dIcate Japanese Agreement
BY ROBERT BENDER

(Unitsd Press 6taff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON. July 25:-On the
eve of expected action In Siberia the
Allies are confronted by demand for
recognition from the new anti-Bol-
shevik government springing up all
over Russia. 1t is indicated In diplo-
matic quarters. however, that the Al
lies will pursue a course of officially
recognizing no particular government
but work through the people as a
whole.
A visit by President Wilson TO the
State Department plus unusual reu-
cence within the department and the
subject OF the Siberian project led to
belief that Japan had officially re-
ported her attitude toward the plan
and that the first move In the aid TO
Russia program is about TO be taken.
Advance information on Japan
reply indicated IL would be favorable.
That the Allies have already ex-
tended aid TO the Czecho- -Slovaks has
been learned today. Large number
OF French officers have arrived In
Vladivostok and some have taken
command OF Czech brigades. Finan-
cisl aid has been extended to these
officers by the French government, Il
was said.

BOYS ROB SAFE
BUT MISS MONEY

Warehouse and Steal Cheap
Spoons and a Clock.

Five boys found sleeping in the rear
of the postofiice last night by Detec-
tive Gutowshd and taken by him TO
police headquarters for safe keeping.
proved to be band of young robbers
who broke into the warehouse of Potts
G. Kaufman, wholesale grocers in
Washington street, where they burg
larized a safe and stole several dozen
spoons, q clock and a bale hook, but
passed up a large sum of money which
was in one OF the compartments OF
the safe.
When the detective discovered the
boys they had the spoons and clock
beside them and when he awakened
them and asked where they had gotten
them, they told him that the articles
had been found under a porch near
the Staten Island ferry. He took them
to the station house for safe keeping
and investig alton, as some of the boys
have reform school records and have
been in the hands of the police on
previous occasions.
David ]. Kaufman, of the grocery
concern, reported to the police this
morning that the safe In his office had
been broken into and some spoons, q
clock and a ring OF keys had been
stolen. This was linked up with the
story as told by the boys and one OF
them, on being closely questioned, ad-
mttted that they had broken INTO tne
warehouse through a rear door, had
found the outer doors of the safe open
and had taken the only things of value
that were visible.
Mr.. Kaufman was more worried
about the keys than about any of the
other articles, as they were important
for the office and compartments OF
the safe. The youngster who admit
ted the theft this morning said one
of the boys had dropped the keys
after he had been arrested. The keys
were found this morning by the de-
tectives and were returned to Mr.
Kaufman.
In the safe, and next TO some OF
the compartments broken into, was a
compartment containing a large
amount of money which the boys did
not know was there and which they
passed up for the cheap spoons and
the clock.
The five youths are being held for
the Juvenile court. They are: Steve

The city at the present time Is be-

Corporal g. Nancy and Private Korte
of Camp Raritan. Corporal Nancy
said yesterday that as soon as an un-
derstanding with the local police
authorities has been arrived at,
others will be stationed here. but he
could not say how many there would
be.

those days which are known at the
camp as liberty days more men will
be stationed throughout the city, in
order to keep q line on the boys in

lar soldier by a blue band about the

this strange, but in so far as the SOL

He was instructed to tell his COM

Last night the Middlesex Car due In

stationed at Madison avenue and an
other at State street, and as the SOL

and made to show their pass, after
which they could proceed on thelI
way. AT one of these stops the police

TRAIN SERVICE
AIDS SFACTOR|ES
Labor From Shore Keeps Men
at Work Here by Supplying
Needed War Workers.

The plan worked out by the govern
ment to aid the housing problem in
this city, by running a special train
from the powder plants on the Rari-
Company at Morgan to the shore re-
sorts, has proven successful.
Although Il does not bring people
into this city, II does bring workers
from the shore to the plants and also
opens up the many homes there to the
laboring man who wishes to live with
his family. within easy travelling dis
tance of his work.
The real aid to this city lies in the
fact that these plants can get help
from the shore towns. without pulling
the labor away from the plants In this
city. as was the case before the train
started to operate. Although there
has been much labor along the shore
that could work in these munitions
plants. it was found impossible Tor
/ them to do so because or the fact that
the transportation was prohibitive.
The train, which began operations
last week, Is run by the Pennsylvania
railroad and originally consisted OF
four old style passenger coaches and
engine. From the first trip the train
proved popular and this week two
more coaches were added, making a
seven-ca train. Many of the pas
Bengers are men Who ho i"SN' .t.s
work about the plants, but as the
girls are taken on to work In the
shell loading sections which have al
ready started work. they too use the
train.
The train runs as a special ana
during the day rests on siding N
South Amboy. near the Pennsylvania
freight station at that place. It leaves
on the return trip shortly after
o'clock at night and runs as express
until the shore towns are reached.
Irving d. Lincoln, secretary OF the
Board OF Trade. stated this eiter :
noon that the train at the present
time is carrying 500 workers.
There Is a possibility that the train
will be extended 10 this city II the
demand for outside labor TO work In
the plants here is made by the man
ufacturing interests.
