AMERICA WILL AID
JAPAN IN SIBERIA
PRESIDENT WILSON'S PROPOSALS
PROVE SATISFACTORY TO THE
JAPANESE GOVERNMENT
Plans Looking to Aid Of Czecho- Siovaks
Now Operating in Siberia, Will
Be Carried out as Rapidly az
Possible by the Allies.

WaShfngton--Joint action between
Japan, the entente powers and Ameri-
ca in Siberia is assured.
Japan has found acceptable the Am
ericah proposal, which primarily looks
to the aid of the Czecho-Slo now
operating In Siberia, and after ex-
changes between Toxic and Washing
ton, which have cleared up all doubtful
points and removed any possibility of
future misunderstanding, compiete
agreement has been reached. The plan
of operation will be put into execution
at once.
Last week limitations were given in
official quarters that the president was
soon to issue statement explaining the
plans of the United States for partici-
patton in the expedition to give mill
tary aid to Russia. When, however,
the Japanese government found it nee
eSSary to call upon the state depart
ment for explanation of some features
of the American proposal, the state
ment was withheld. Presumably, now
that a satisfactory understanding has
been reached, the statement will be
issued.
Meanwhile, 1t is the desire Of Off
Gals that there shall be no speculation
as to the character of the Intervention
in the press.
Consequently, all that it is possible
now to say is that in the beginning, at
least, the international agreement must
find its expression in combined mill
tary activity, and cable advices have
recorded the gathering of small bodies
of entente troops at points in China
convenient for dispatch into western
Siberia.
Paokuci-Ching, the provincial COVER
nor at Sci Lung King, has been select
ed to command the considerable body
of Chinese troops which has been
gathered in Manchuria, and 1t is under
stood that his force will act under
the direction of the Japanese COM
mander-in-chief.

BRITAIN's PART AGAINST KAISER.
In Four Years England Has Raised
100000 Soldiers.

New York.-Great Britain's contribu-
ton to the success of the allies was
made public here on the eve of
the fourth anniversary of the United
Kingdoms entrance into war, by the
British bureau of information of the
British war mission.
Staggering figures that tell an elo-
quent story of sacrifice, heroic deter
mination and accomplishment are re-
vealed by the bureau, which points out
that Great Britain and her colonies
have raised 100000 soldiers, of whom
100000 have been slain and 100000
are wounded or missing. England her
self, it is said, has furnished 60 per
cent of the fighters and suffered 76 per
cent of the casualties.
1t has been estimated, the bureau
says, that Britain has fought on sew
enteen fronts during the last four
years, including Belgium, France,
Italy, Serbia, Greece, Russia, Palestine,
Mesopotamia, China, and North, East
and West Africa.
