| WASHlNGIO ON, Feb. 27.-Japan has
directed inquiries to the Entente pow
ers and the United States to test their
feelings toward proposal to institute
joint military operations in Siberia to
save the vast quantities of war sup
plies stored at Vladivostok and along
the Siberian railroad. Criticism at
home Of the failure Of Japan to play
larger part in the war is said to
have been influential in bringing about
the negotiations.
Officials here refuse to discuss this
subject for publication, but it is un-
derstood that so far as America is con-
cerned the proposition when first
broached was not wholly acceptable,
though the exchanges on the subject,
which are still in progress, may result
in modifying the governments attitude.
Munitions Have Piled Up
Accumulated at Vladivostok are mill
tary supplies of all kinds, much of
American manufacture, and even great
cr quantities of Japanese origin, which
were delivered long before the Bolshe-
wiki took possession of the Russian
government. The Stevens commission
of American engineers made extraordi-
nary efforts to improve the facilities
Of the Siberian railroad so that these
stores could be transported westward
for the use of the Russian army on the
r. A
deal of accumulation was removed, but
great quantities remain on the docks
and in warehouses and even in the
open, both at Vladivostok and at points
westerly on the railroad.
The material suffers greatly from de-
terioration through exposure to the
weather and from other causes, but the
principal matter of concern to the
Allies is the danger that the stores
shall fall into the hands of the Ger
mans, who may make their delivery one
of the conditions OF any peace treaty
which they are about to compel the
BolSheviki to sign.
This situation is regarded by the Jap
anese as warranting the adoption of
some measures to secure these stores,
even if this involves military action on
their part. They arc quite willing 20
have the cooperation of the Entente
forces and of American troops and
sailors in this object, and the problem
which is now before the co-belligerent
chancellories is whether Japan shall be
allowed to proceed single handed if a
campaign in this quarter is begun or
whether there shall be joint operations.
Looking to the future, it has been
argued that there should be combina-
ton movement to avoid any such ques-
tion as to the ultimate disposition of
occupied territory in Siberia as might
follow the exclusive entry of any one
country.
From the tone of the discussion of
this subject in official Washington it
appears chat, while the Entente govern
ments incline favorably to joint cam
raign with Japan in Siberia, they are
faced with the obstacle that practically
none of them has any troops or ships
available for an Asiatic campaign.
This statement does not apply, how
ever, to America. which not only has
some powerful cruisers with large
crews and marine contingents now in
Asiatic waters, but in addition has
about 10000 troops in the Philippines
and two full battalions, about 900
strong, in China and on the railroad
where they could be rushed quickly
into Siberia

Russian Envoys Protest

While this whole American force
would be insignificant compared to
Japan's great naval and military re-
sources at the scene, the participation
Of the American troops in the campaign
would serve to. maintain its interna-
tional character.

Freedom.

Here we are free to come and
go, and do all kinds of knitting,
and while we lay no statutes low,
our course is right and fitting. l
pack my grip and journey forth,
on impulse or suggestion; and if
| journey south or north, no guy
has right to question. And
every time l tour the earth.
where'er l may determine, l
thank the gods who ruled my
birth, that | am not a German.
I'd hate to have my course laid
down by some tinhorn official,
to tremble at a kaiser''s frown,
'rebuking and judicial. I'd hate
to have to sign my name to
forty kinds Of papers, before al
lowed to play my game and cut
my useful capers. I'd hate to
come when princes call. and go
when they demand it; that sort
of thing would stir my gall-me-
thinks | couldn't stand it. Here
we are free to live our lives with
no ayenger nearing; we run up
bills and beat our wives, and no
ones interfering. No cheap
policeman comes along and puts
me in the cooler, because in
some immortal song l ridiculed
a ruler. My little home my
castle is, where rhythmic storms
are brewing; no plunk Inspector
thrusts his phiz inside to see
what's doing. But if the kaiser
comes to reign, from DER the
Prussian border, l will not dare
to chant a strain, without a
written order.
