decorators were working like mad to
have everything shipshape by 7

nothing like paying to find out. And
it will, no doubt, be perfectly amaz-

serge with vest, sash and sleeve

raids on England, substituting air

London, March 13.-Concerning
doubts expressed in some quarters on
the subject of Japanese Intervention
in Siberia, the Daily Telegraph says
Japan is a British ally of twelve
years standing and during all that
time she has, apart from the services
rendered to the allied cause in the
course of the war, shown herself an
honorable and trustworthy associate.
The paper continues
Interest Is Apparent
The overwhelmingly strong inter
est of Japan in this part of the world
is, of course, apparent from a glance
at the map. Japan is a highly or
ganized trading nation and is direct
ly interested in the maintenance of
general peace and order in the lands
where her economic relations are
close and which are supremely i'm
portant to her welfare. That was
fully recognized by Great Britain in
the treaty of 1905.
Whatever the Siberian republic
may turn out to be when we know
anything of it, we may, at least be
sure that Germany reckons upon
dominating it as she reckons upon
dominating all other fragments of
the shattered Russian empire. Ger
many is at this moment pursuing a
plan of world conquest to which par
ticular and unmistakable character
has been given by the developments
of the war in Europe.
Russians Would Benefit
IF the triumph of our enemy's
influence is to be guarded against in
the region where Japanese and other
allied interests are especially strong,
the sooner the business is under
taken, the better. There is no sense
or justice in permitting chaos and
helplessnesS in Russia to be turned
to the advantage of the enemy if it
can be prevented. If such action as
was taken in Manchuria should ulti-
mately be the means of re-establish-
ing. national authority of constitu-
tional character in Russia, and if it
should supply a rallying point for the
forces of sanity and order, then a
priceless benefit would be conferred
on the Russian people.
The question at present is one of
legal and necessary protection of
threatened national interest In a
situation without parallel and in
which the ordinary formulae of in
ternational action are meaningless,
the principal care of allied states
manship as a whole will be, while
allowing itself to be guided by the
logic of events as they arise to di-
vest whatever is done of any color
of aggressive or annexation inten-
