and ammunition. Simultaneously this
government definitely dismfsses any
thought of recognizing the Bolshevists
against whom the Czechs are fight
ing.
Thus an important modification of
the German course in Russia ts seen
and more and more the allied pro-
gram centers on the military.
Because American allied efforts are
to be centered on the west front the
position of Japan in Siberia takes an
increased Importance. She will send
more troops-a course favored by the
allies and also those Russians affili-
ated with the urge for Intervention.
Russian officials familiar with the
topography OF the country believe
that fifty thousand to one hundred
thousand Japanese troops in addition
to the fighting men placed in Siberia
by the allies, would be sufficient.
Others say more troops would be re-
quired.
Russian officials, however, are op-
posed to an attempt by the allies to
re-establish an eastern front in Euro
pean waters.

with renewed violence, according 10
Russian newspapers. The Cracow

that the rebellion is increa sing daily

peasants and Austro-German forces is
almost constant, especially along the

 We are compelled to believe that the committee appointed some time in the remote past to formulate plans for organizing commercial club for the city, is too busy buying and sell ing Liberty Bonds to give conner cial club a thought.
