6ensalese Poet Gives PubIicity to Let ;.
ter From Lord Chelmsford.
New York, Aug. Is. = Sir Rabind-
ranaeth Tagore. the Bengalese poet, al,
legged to have been concerned in the
plot to foment revolution against the
British government in india, has
cabled his publishers here letter of
sympathy which he says he received
from Lord Chelmsford, vi1eroy and
governor general of India. The letter.
dated Sfmla, June. II, signed by the
viceroy's private secretary, reads:
7The viceroy desires to express sym
pathy with you on finding your name
dragged into such unwarrantable
prominence in American papers. He is
well aware there is no foundation
whatever for the suggestions made and
is willing you make any use of this
letter you may see fit"
At the trial of thirty alleged Hindu
conspirators in San Francisco last
February letters were introduced in
evidence tending to show Tagore had
sought the former and present pre-
miers Of japan in the movement to
establish an independent republic in
India.
Tagore. winner of the Nobel prize
in literature in 1914, was knighted by
King George. Z

Guarded intimations are given in
Well-fnformed official quarters here
that the Japanese, government already
has anticipated the need for speedy as>
ststance to the Czecho- Slovaks in west
ern Siberia.
Knowing the limited capacity Of the
Siberian railroad in the far eastern ex-
tremities to transport considerable
military forces and supplies with speed.
and realizing the danger Of Interrupt
tion of such traffic by hostile bolsheviki
and German -ofilcered elements along
the road in that part Of Siberia. 1T is
has planned to strike directly at Lake
Tsaikal. the most important center Of
action on the Siberian railroad.
To accomplish this. while the first ex-
lpeditionary forces which may be landed
at Yiadivostok, headed by General
Otani, is operating from there, con-
siderable number of Japanese troops
already in Manchuria and along the
line Of the railroad running northward
from Darion, formerly Port Arthur, are
in a position to, be speedily dispatched
to Hardin.
From there they can be forwarded
westward to Lake Baikal. or can be
diverted eastwardly to open up the Sec
ton Of the Siberian railroad terminal
ing at Vladivostok.
Russian peasants are reported to be
fiocking to the standard Of the Czecho-
SlOvaks operating in force about 500
miles east OF Moscow.
In this connection particular signif-
fcance Is attached to the report that
the soviet troops have begun the evacu-
alton OF Moscow. opening the way for
the Czecho- Siovaks and allied troops
aiding loyal Russians to establish
the eastern front On line much farther
west than was believed possible.

sAku TAKEN BY BRITISH.
Arrival Of Allied Forces From South
Factors in Russian Affair.

49, NSS0To III uuS9tA0 An0IeS,
London. Aug. 16.--A curious COIN
cident comes to light In connection with
the arrival of British at Baku. The
garrison consisted largely Of bolsheviki
who with Armenians were opposing the
Turks. Thus while nghting the boil
sheviki in the north the British are CO.
operating with them in the south.
The British are guarding the Trans
Caspian railroad to prevent the enemy
from gaining access to Afganistan and
the Indian frontier.
6aku Move Vital.
Arrival Of British troops at Baku
Is considered here as highly important
because it opens way in that part of
the world for allied aid to Czecho-
Sloyaks and loyal Russians.
Some weeks ago body of British
soldiers succeeded in pushing from
Mesopotamia thru to Resh. Ships were
acquired at Enzeli, the seaport of Resh.
and 1t no doubt is this force that has
reached Baku.
Movement from Baku to the country
controlled by the Don Cossacks offers
few practical difficulties.
The situation in the Baku, Caucasus
has been extremely involved ever since
the conclusion of the Brest-Litovsk
peace. The Turks were given. impor-
tant territory in the southern Caucasus,
and proceeded to occupy it. They met
with considerable resistance from the
Armenians when they went beyond
treaty limits and moved toward Baku.
Armenians Hold Baku.
As long back as April 21 an Arme-
nian force was, said to be holding Baku,
and altho the city has since been re-
ported to have changed hands during
the fighting dispatch on Aug. 8 de-
clared it was still in Armenian pos
session.
Germany is said not to look with ap-
proval upon Turkeys course, her own
feyes apparently being set particularly
upon the Baku region, which is one o

Calls America War Crazy.

Amsterdam, Aug. Is. - Commenting
on the recent interview given by Ad-
miral Won Hintze. the. German foreign
secretary. in which he laid responsi-
bility for continuation of the war upon
the entente, the Frankfort Gazette
says:
"We must continue the hard and Bit
ter struggle for the defense Of the
Satherland. for our enemies show lit
tie inclination for peace and neither
from Lloyd George nor Clemenceau is
any readiness for an understanding to
be expected.
1.-THE daily increasing influence OF
America upop &he entente is of still
greater importance. Any sign Of de-
sire for an understanding on the part
OF the European allies Is counterbal-
anced by the war craze Of the United
States. Under the circumstances there
is nothing to be- done but to crush all
premature hopes"
