WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-The Swed-

Department a report from its Charge

further reply OF the Turkish govern
menr TO American representations re
earding the alleged sFronts 70 the
United States in the occupation Of
Tabrlz.
The Turkish Foreign Minister as
serted 1t was difficult to obtain the
facts, owing to the great distance OF
labriz from the Turkish capital and
the inadequate means OF communica-
ton. but It appeared that Turkish
troops did not occupy the American
consulate, as had been reported. but
some individuals entered the consulate,
removing the furniture for their own
use. The Ottoman Foreign Office ex-
pressed It's disapproval of such con
duct
The Foreign Minister asserted he had
been unable to obtain facts to date
regarding the reported sacking by
Turkish soldiers OF the American mis-
slonary hospital IN Tabr1.

Hun Paper Opposes
Prisoners Exchange

AMSTERDAM. Aug. 6.-Discussing
the proposed exchange Of American
and German var prisoners, the Mach
richten.' of Hamburg. taxes it upon
itself to advise the German govern
ment 20 reject all such overtures on
the following grounds:
First. the Americans would, by this
agreement. enjoy exceptional treat
ment. which. besides being unfair TO
the other prisoners. would enormously
facilitate recruiting IN America; sec
ond. assuming that the Americans
have taken fewer prisoners than the
Germans. 1t would be natural for the
Allies of America 20 make up the
requisite nun. Der of prisoners. which
would indirectly enhance Americas re-
rutcd Achievemcnts.' This. the article
says. should be prevented.
The newspaper further demands
that AS 4 retaliation for America
disgraceful entry INTO the war the
idea OF an exchange should be enter
tanned only after all other prisoners
are released A further condition 70
this exchange. II says. should be that
the American government release the
officials Of the Hamburg American
Steamship Company, and ,hat the
slanGerous and insulting persecution
to which Germans in America are sub
jected cease forthwith.

Japan Prepared to

To Free Siberia
lB4 The Associat.d Prosal

TOXIC, Aug. 8. - Premier Count
Terauchi, in statement concerning
Allied action in Siberia, said the Jan
anese government would take further
military measures in case the position
of the Czecho-Slovaks demanded it..
The Premier also indicated that if the
chaotic situation in Siberia continued
the government might find it necessary
TO adopt suitable military measures to
combat the Austro-G German menace in
the Far East.
Count Terauchi hoped he said
that it would mark the beginning of a
new era Of peace and order in Siberia
If it should be necessary for the Allies
to dispatch additional troops and arms
the country must be prepared to meet
the emergency
The effect of the governments dec
laratlon of intention to dispatch forces
to Siberia in aid of the Czecho- -Slovaks
which was published in the "OHicial
Gazette" last evening. had been com
pletely discounted.
The Japanese American negotiations
had been made the basis of re-
crudescence of wrangling over domestic
politics, with charges and counter
charges and sensational demands for
the resignation of the Cabinet and the
customary campaign of recriminations.
Consequently the government had re-

the negotiations. The publication Of
the declaration, however. has to Ger

though the censorship continues of a

ing the movements of troops or any
thing affecting military policies.
II is understood that the SciYukai
majority party in the House is willing
to adopt a wait-and-see policy. Con-
sequently the kenseikai minority,
which had hoped to effect an opposi-
ton combination, is powerless for the
present. There seems every reason to
believe that the tenseness Of the stu
alton has been relieved and that the
plans for the protection Of the Czecho-
Slovaks and Of the Allied interests
against German and Austrian influence
in Siberia, completed long time ago,
