Under this accusation the Russians
may despair of assistance from any
quarter and may plunge permanently
into the war to help save the world
for democracy, In the final adjust

SENDING TROOPS TO
SIBERIA BAD POLICY
BY j. w. T. MASON.

NEW YORK, May 25.-New agitation
to attempt to persuade the Allies to
send military expedition into ST.
ebria is gathering Roadway
It shows evidence of being due pri-
marily to desire to discredit the Boil
sheviki and drive them from power.
A strong force sent to Siberia to over
power them might possibly succeed in
causing a reaction against Trotzky
and Lenine in Moscow and Petrograd
but there is no certainty as this result
The two leaders of the Boil
sheviki have successfully withstOod far
more serious development much nearer
home. Even with Trotsky and Lenine
overthrow there is no guarantee that
their successors would be able to car
ry Russia back into the war, which
would be the dominant objective of an
allied military movement in Siberia.
On the contrary, even mere radical
and less experienced men might secure
control of Russia's affairs and Rus
STA in her perplexity might throw her
self unreseryedly into Germany's arms.
The one basic information is that if
the Russian people really desire 70 ally
themselves with Germany no army
sent into Siberia can prevent them.
Russia is too big and Germany too
near for that, The Russians are now
anti German because German mill
,tarism has fixed upon policy of ruth
less suzerainty over the Slavs. But
if the allies engage in a Siberian mill
