PLANS OF THE u. S.
 IN RUSSIA ARE TWoFoLD. Economic Help to Russia and Military Assistance to the Czecho- Sovaks.


 Tokio, Tuesday, July 16--CBy The Associated Pressl.-According to in formation in Tokio, the plans of the United States in Russia are twofold First, military assistance to the Czecho- -Slcvaks, and. second, giving general economic help to Russia.
 The United States is described as being of the feeling that the. Czecho- Slovaks should not be abandoned while they are striving to reach their aim. It is said there is no desire on the part of the American government to intervene in Russian affairs, but that it favors the despatch of sufficient forces to leave the Czecho- Sloyaks free to insure the safe arrival of their com rades from the interior
 The impression here tonight is that Japan, in a spirit of cooperation with her allies, will follow the suggestion and, like the Americans, send troops. Great Britain and France, it is said, also will send small contingents so as to make the movement inter-allied
 Many Japanese leaders, however, favor more extensive military move ments in Siberia than have been sug- gested by the United States Their ideas are based on combating the eastward extension of German inf1u- ence and the safeguarding of Japan's interests. It is suggested as not being unlikely that the Japanese government, responding to this opinion, which is growing, may open negotiations with the United States and the entente gov ernments concerning the wisdom of in tervention in Russia, which, while be- ing chiefly directed by Japan, would be supported by all the allies The indications are that the statesmen who guide the policies of the empire desire to work in close harmony with the allies. including the United States

Nearly J0,000 will be required eventu- ally for the, army.
