BRITISH TROOPS
JOIN THE CZECHS
ON USURI FRONT
King Georges Soldiers Have
Been Landed North of
Vladivostok

London, Aug. 13.-British troops
which were landed at Vladivostok
have proceeded to the Usuri river
front, where they were given an en-
thusiastic reception by the Czecho-
Slovak forces, with whom they are
cooperating, according to an official
announcement made last night.
1.-THE Usuri river runs northward
from Lake Chanks. about 100 miles
north OF Vladivostok, and empties in

The Hague, Aug. 13.-Japanese ad-
vance troops are in touch with the
Czecho-Slovaks, says a Moscow dis

Vladivostok, Aug. 13. - General
Horvath. self-styled head of the new
All-Russian government, says that no
fewer than 10000 allied troops will
be required to prevent Germany
from obtaining control of the food
resources of Siberia and Mongolia.
General Horvath's visit here was for
the purpose of opening negotiations
with the Vladivostok group of the
autonomous Siberian government"
Coincident with his arrival came
announcements from Washington
anu IcldIlNe 10 Ln6 scope OI the
allies aims to relive Russia. General
Horvath is said to be depressed by
these announcements, as they failed
to foreshadow a formidable military
movement. He asserts that a large
body of -Slovaks are in des-
perate straits at Irkutsk, being sur
rounded by Bolshevik and Magyar
troops and without a chance for i'm
mediate relief.
Midway between Nikolsk and Kha-
barovsk a few thousand Czecho-
Slovaks are opposing a larger force
of the enemy, he says. They are sad
ly out of proportion to the task con-
fronting them, even If supplied with
artillery, which now is lacking.
Russia Grows Weaker
General Horvath told the corre-
Spondent that not only will the
enemy get what he needs in the ma
ture of foodstuffs, if his domination
of Russia is not contested, but will
draw on Russian manpower, as he is
already doing in Lithuania. He says
that the practice will grow, as Rus
sia is becoming more and more pow
erless and poverty stricken. On the
other hand, he says, a sufficient force
of allied troops to stabilize the for
ward movement would attract thous-
sands of Russians who are at pres
ent overawed-

SOUND SENSE.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE,
,s,s. ~ FRANZ CRANE, :

What are We fighting for!
II is very necessary that we know The answer to this question.
We are not lighting mcrc! 20 defeat the German army. For. after
that, what That is OF course the first thing we must do but If we do
only that We will have 1t all 10 do over after awhile
We do not intend, when the German military force is conquered,
to massacre all the German people nor 10 take them away into slavery.
nor to burn their cities and dc 10 Germany what she did to Belgium
Such things are imr lMr for decent people to conceive. They are
monstrous and wnckco German miltari>tS may act ,o. hut not We.
What do we want, then?
We want, and We arc fighting ITO produce, a revolution in Germany
Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey.
We fight TO make those countries democratic. We cannot cxtcr
inmate them, and Ito not want to. W. must change them.
We can change them. first. by overcoming their military organic,
ton. That is what is now holding them in Suh~orvcncy. Hence omr
war Is Just and necessary.
But in addition to our armed force We mus, use propaganda.
just as Germany has a propaganda of lies, and hrbcS throughout
The world, SO We must have Il propaganda of intelligence and liberty
amongst the peoples of the Central Power.
For after we have conquered them we shall have to do business with
them. and if they have nothing but the Same altocratic notions they
now hold 10, business with them will be impossible.
Therefore, every effort of Germans in America 10 organize fm
democracy should be encouraged They will do a deal Of needed work
amongst their brethren in the Fauhcraud.
The more unrcaonng hate We show towards all German people the
more we force them into the arms of the military class. ~, they will
think that class ~ hc their only protector
The more we show Ia The MASSES of the people in enemy coutric
that what we really strive for /, To lihcratc hem the quicker oW victory
And that Isl he only way 10 permanent victory.
We may hate the autocrdts who msguidc their people into thr
war. but we must not hate the people and we must always leave tm
door open for them 70 repent, 10 rid themselves of that governing elias
that is running them and 10 come ma with the dcnocracics Of the worl,
Ia me postwar federation 70 keep rhr peace.
This is sound sense Think IL Owen.

Aboard Secretary Bakers Special
Train, France, Mar. 15.-That portion
of France through which Secretary of
War Baker is travelling on his inspection
of America S fighting forces is now
seething with real American activity.
Baker is greeted by cheering crowds.
The secretary investigated an inland
artillery school where five hundred po-
tential officers were inspected and af-
ter leaving these men-who will soon
be directing the hurting of shells at the
Germans-he visited beautiful city in
the romantic French chateau country.
Detailed facts and figures were pre-
sented to Baker all day by officers
in charge of the great United States ar
my organization. The secretary allowed
himself only twety minute respite
from his labors, and in that twenty min
tres he viewed cathedral and a eha-
teau erected in the days of Louis XII.
In the afternoon, Baker inspected the
greatest army storage station in France,
nine miles square, where forty five
days supply of every conceivable mater
ial may be stored ready to go to the
firing line. This area includes the third
largest cold storage plant in the world,
which will be put in operation in May.

sive only if compelled to do so by the
exigencies of the general strategic sit
uation."
Germany's concentration of troops on
the west line has now reached about
the limit, apparently, according to the
statement.
The statement also revealed that
American troops now occupy trenches at
five different points and that they have
been constantly in action"
The period of activity in the west
is being prolonged, said the statement
Though the raids now taking place
would in the past have been consider
ed important engagements, nevertheless,
owing to the fact that they are merely
of minor tactical value, they cannot be
held to be major operations.
Concerning American operations, the
summary added:
'This week we undertook our first
assault against German positions unas-
sisted by any allied contingent At
dawn on March IL, after a preliminary
bombardment lasting three quarters of
an hour, we drove highly successful
raid against German trench segment
Our men penetrated the German line to
a depth of 300 yards. The enemy was
driven off after hand to hand fight,

WHEAT CONSUMPTION :
BY AMERICANS MUST
BE FURTHER REDUCED
Both Wheat and Meat Ship.
ments. to England Below
Requirements

Washington, Mar. l8.-American con,
sumption of wheat appears about to un
dergo further curtailment.
On the heels of authentic reports that
Germany's food prospects for this year
are vastly improved over those of 1917,
there are outstanding indications that
the local shortage facing the allies is
little short of critical.
Reserve wheat held in American mills
and elevators shows loss of nearly 25
per cent from last year and approxim-
ately so per cent from 1916.
For various reasons, the United
States today is shipping only about
fifty per cent of what the allies need
in the way of cereals.
Pending the new crops, the people of
this country, in light of the wheat short
age throughout the world, must reduce
wheat consumption to the point where
it is about one-half of what it was in
every home before the war.
simultaneously, it is possible retail
sugar dealers will have to resume strict
enforcement of sugar rations. Groeers
complain that they are again having
great difficulty in obtaining sugar.
Allied nations use practically no SUI
gar at all.
That the farmers Of the middle west
are on the job is indicated in an an
nouncement Of the federal farm loan
board today showing that $13,S78,8l1
was loaned to farmers during the work
ing days Of February-an increase Of
