AMERICA AND JAPAN WILL RENDER AID
 TO RUSSIA ALONE


 (Continued from Page One) for weeks to bring the nations together in the most effective plan. which at the same time will convince the Rus sian people that the aim was purely to help them preserve and develop their new found democracy.
 Text of Government Statement
 The statement by the government to the press on the American Japanese action in Siberia from the acting secre- tary of state follows:
 'In the judgment of the government of the United States-a judgment ar rived at after repeated and very search ing considerations of the whole situa tion-military intervention in Russia would be more likely to add to the present sad confusion there than to cure it, and would injure Russia rather than help her out of her distress.
 "Sucn military intervention as has been most frequently proposed, even supposing it to be efficacious in it's immediate object of delivering an at tack upon Germany from the east, would. in its judgment, be more likely to turn out to be merely a method of making use of Russia than to be a method of serving her.
 Unwise to Disspate Forces
 Her people, if they profited by it at all, could not profit by it in time to deliver them from their present des- perate difficulties, and their substance would meantime be used to maintain foreign arr3ies, not to reconstitute their own or to feed their own men, women and children. We are bending all ouI energies now to the purpose, the reso- lute and confident purpose. of winning on the western front and it would in the judgment of the government of the United States. be most unwise to di- vide or dissipate our forces.
 "As the government of the United states sees the present circumstances therefore. military action is admissible in Russia not only to render such pro- lection and help as is possible to the Czecho Slovaks against the armed Austrian and German prisoners who are attacking them and to steady any efforts at self government or self de fense in which the Russians themselves nay be willing to accept assistance | Whether from Vladivostock or from

Murmansk and Archangel, the only present object for which American troops will be employed, will be to guard military stores which may sub sequently be needed by Russian forces and to render such aid as may be ac ceptable to the Russians in the organi- zation of their own lf-defense.
 Only Powers That Can Act
 With such objects in View the gov ernment of the United Steps is now cooperating with the government of France and Great Britain in the neigh borhood of Murmansk and ArchangeL The United States and Japan are the only powers which are just now in a position to act in Siberia in sufficient force to accomplish even such modest objects as those that have been out lined. The government of the United
 States has therefore proposed to the government of Japan that each of the two governments send a force of a
 few thousand men to Nladivostocll, with the purpose of cooperating as a single force in the occupation of Vladi- vostok, and in safeguarding, so far as it may. the country to the rear of the westward moving Czcheo Slovaks, and the Japanese government has con sented
 Makes Purpose Very Plain. Tn taking this action, the govern ment of the United States wishes to announce to the people of Russia IT the most public and solemn manner that it contemplates no interference with the political sovereignty of Rus sia, no intervention in her internal af-
 fairs-not even in the local affairs oi the limited areas which her military force may be obliged to occupy-and
 no impairment of her territorial in- tegrity either now or hereafter; but that what we are about to do has as it's single and only object the rendering of such aid as shall be acceptable to the Russian people themselves in theii endeavOrs to regain control of theil
 own affairs, their own territory and
 their own destiny. The Japanese gov ernment. it is understood, will issue a similar assurance.
 These plans and purposes of the
 government of the United States have
 been communicated to the govern
 ments of Great Britain. France and Italy and those governments have ad- vised the Department of State that
 they assent to them in principle. Nc conclusion that the government of the United States has arrived at in this | important matter is intended. how

COLORADO MIDLAND . ROAD TO bE S0[D

3 COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO, Aug. s.-Judge J. w. Sheafor in the District Court today denied the petition of the state of Colorado, represented by Dep- uty Attorney General Charles Rooach, to intervene in the Colorado Midland Railway proceedings. The result of this decision will be to continue in force and effect the previous order of the court providing for the sale and dismantlement of the road to take place on August ,.
 , Colorado Midland officials stated that the last train from here will be tun here tonight and returning tomor- TOW night from the West.
 The purpose of the receiver, A. E. Carlton, is to sell the property for what it will bring to other railways and to junk men. The section of the road running to Divide will be leased 10 the Short Line Railway in order that an outlet may be maintained into the Cripple Creek district until the Short Line is able to repair one of it's long trestles recently destroyed by fire.
 Judge Sheafor in denying the mo- ton stated that intervention was ap- parently for the purpose or taking an appeal to the Supreme Court in a roundabout way although made Tn De- half of the people. He asserted that it was only a question of time until the road would be forced to stop opera tions: that it had never been pay ing proposition and that having re- gently been isolated bv the Govern ment it was now in q worse financial condition than ever. The court also ruled upon the motion of the Public Utilities Commission which asserted that it had exclusive jurisdiction by denying the petition and asserted that the court was entirely within it's ri~hts in assuming jurisdiction and in appointing a receiver and ordering the winding up of tie business.

GAS SHELL IS NOT
 FILLED WITH GAS
fSatnrdav Evening Postl


 The fact of the matter is that the gas shell is not really a gas shell at all. It is nearly always a liquid" shell and sometimes even solid" she'll The term gas shell is used because the liquid or solid contents are atomized by the explosion of the bursting charge or are distributed round in the form of such tiny particles or droplets, as inc case may be, that they act almost as a gas. In the latter case they form what might be described as a mist or smoke but with this difference from ordinary smoke-that the gas mist or smoke is generally, though not always, invisible.
 Just imagine what would happen supposing a shell were filled with wa ter. Burst such a shell with a suffi- ciently big charge of high explosive and all the water would be distributed into the air in the form of such finely divided spray that it would form mist This mist would either vaporize into the atmosphere completely or hang about like a cloud, according as the air was dry or moist. In any case. if the burster was big enough no water would be spread on the ground, nor would any big drops be formed.
 This is just what happens with any of the poisonous materials filled into a shell. Indeed, if the burster were big enough and carefully chosen 1t would be possible to form gas with treacle. With a volatile material like gasoline. on the other hand. all that would be needed would be a burster just big enough to open the shell.
 It can be seen, therefore, that the choice of materials for gas shells is practically unlimited and is governed only by their being poisonous enough and by the ease of production.

Syrup To Replace Sugar.

According to reports appearing in
several Louisiana papers the sugar
shortage has encouraged planters to
broaden the use of pure cane syrup,
made from cane juice without taking
any of its sugar. This juice is boiled
to a point Just below that required to
crystalline 1t into sugar and can be
used not only for grddle cakes, sweet
cakes and candy making but is rec
commended by the planters as sweet
encr for coffee and tea. 1t is really
sugar in liquid form and on basis of
eight cents per pound retail for gran
ulated sugar will yield economies from
40 to SO per cent at a rate of four
and one-half and FIVE cents per pound
for the syrup The Louisiana planters
believe that pure cane syrup has a
wide range of usefulness in house
holds, bakeries, candy factories, ice
cream plants and similar establish
ments. They also recommend 1t as
a part of the army ration, to be serv-
ed with griddle cakes and bread.
