Points Out Value
OF Intervention
By the Japanese

LONDON, March 13.-Concerning
doubts expressed in some quarters on
the subject of Japanese intervention
in Siberia, "The Daily Telegraph" says
that Japan is q British ally of twelve
years standing, and during all that
time she has, apart from the services
course of the war, shown herself an
honorable and trustworthy associate,
The newspaper continues:
"The overwhelming strong interest
of Japan in this part of the world is.
of course, apparent from a glance at
the map. Japan is highly organized
trading nation, and is directly interest
ed in the maintenance of general peace
and; order in the lands where her eco
nonsic relations are close and which
are supremely important to her well
fare. 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 DOM
mating it, as she reckons upon dom
mating all other fragments of the
shattered Russian Empire. Germany is
at this moment pursuing a plan IF
world conquest to which particular and
unmistakable character has been given
by the developments of the war in
Europe.
eff the triumph of our enemy's infu-
ence is to be guarded against in the
region where japanese and other Allied
interests are especially strong, the
sooner the business is undertaken 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 ultimately be the means of re-
establishing a national authority of
constitutional character in Russia, and
if it should supply 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 interests. In sit
uation without parallel and in which
the ordinary formula of international
action are meaningless, the principal
care of Allied craftsmanship as a
whole will be, while allowing itself to
be guided by the logic of events as
they arise, to divest whatever is done
Of any color of aggressive or annexa-
ticnist Intentions"

lBy Correspondent With the British Forces In
Palestlnc]
The British forces drove the Turks
out of Jerusalem on the first day of
the Jewish feast of Channuka, the an
niversary of the entry of Judas Mac
cabaus into the"city after the rout of
the Hellenistic hordes. The coincidence
is happy one for the future of Pales-
tine. AS the Maccab@an victory
marked definitely the defeat of a de-
based Hellensm which threatened
human liberty and morality, the pres
ent British victory marks definitely the
defeat of the debased German will to
domination which threatened the in
dependence and wellbeing of all small
nationalities. Whatever the eventual
political settlement Of the country, the
English entry means the opening of a
new era for the Jewish people. 1t
means also the liberation of Palestine
from the sgovernment and subver-
sive anarchy which for eighty years
have wasted its resources.
The rapid advance of the British
forces from GAIA has released the
whole Of Judea in little more than a
month. Within twenty days of the tax
ing of the stronghold of the Philistines
the army swept over the Plain of
Philstia. the smiling park of the Plain
Of Sharon, and reached the River
Audja, ten miles north of Jaffa.
Within another twenty days it broke
the Turkish defence line in the hills
from Hebron to the ancient Bethel,
and left no organized band of the
enemy throughout what was the ancient
kingdom Of Judah.
The area restored comprises the
Jewish colonies of Southern Palestine,
Castinieh, Ekron, Katrah, Rehoboth,
Rishon-l n-le-Zion, Petak Tikvah, lying in
the plain, and Hulda, Mosah and Artuf
IN the hills. 1t comprises also besides
Jerusalem. with its 10000 souls, Jatfa,
which is the economic and cultural
centre of the infant Jewish resettle-
ment, and Hebron, which is holy city
and has Jewish population of several
THOUSAND. 1t comprises also the large
villages of Ramleh and LYDIA and
Mejdel and Bethlehem, which have a
considerable Christian as we'll as Arab
population. And the occupation means
that the nucleus Of the Jewish reset
tlement is saved even if disaster

French Repulse
Heavy Attacks
In Champagne
Germans Sustain Severe
Losses and Gain No

Expect Great Battle
Observers Think Increased
Activity Presages
New Drive

LONDON, March 13.-Heavy German
attacks on the French lines IN the
Champagne sector were repelled to-day
by the defenders with great losses to
the enemy, according to an announce
mcnt made tonight by the French War
Office.
Details of the action were not given
but artillery fire in that region has
been incessant for several days, and 1t
is assumed that the engagement was OF
larger proportion than any fought with
in recent date
Berlin briefly refers to the action IN
an official statement issued this after
noon, in which it is said:
"In the Champagne West, Prussian
companies, after a long artillery prep
aration, stormed French trenches north
east Of Prosnes and, after destroying
enemy works, returned with ninety
nine prisoners"
This engagement and the ever-in-
creasing activity of aviators lends fur
ther support to the forecast of heavy
fighting. Tens Of thousands Of shells
are being expended by both sides and
raiding parties are venturing across the
stretches of No Mans Land more fire.
quently. 1t is the general belief of
observers that a great battle is immi-
nent.
Berlin Claims Captures
The German official statement is
more detailed than those issued by AL
lied headquarters. 1t claims minor
successes at several points on the front
and announces the capture of British,
Belgian and Portuguese troops as we'll
as French. 1t also claims that nine
teen Allied aviators were shot down
yesterday on the Franco Belgian front.
One raid by the Belgians east of
Nieuport and engagements to the east
of Zonnebeke and west of Fromelles, in
addition to the Champagne activities,
are spoken of in the statement.
The British War Office reports sue

Lens. 1t admits the loss of several

prisoners and three machine guns were

Bombing raids by British aviators
continue to innict great damage on
enemy positions. The official state
ment issued tonight tells of an attack
on Bruges, in which the docks were
targets for three tons of bombs, and
nearly fourteen tons of bombs were
dropped on railway sidings at Mons
and Bavay, large ammunition depots

between Lille and Cambrai
