Soviets Order
Resistance to
Japan Invasion
Mikado's Marine Minister
Explains Landing
of Troops
(By The Associated Press1

MOSCOW, April 6.--Admiral Kato
Japanese Minister of Marine) has
issued a proclamation at Vladivostok
dealing with the landing there on Fri
day of Entente Allied forces. The
Japanese Minister says he feels great
sympathy with Russia in the present
situation, wishes a cessation of fratri-
eide and the fullest realization of the
revolution, but was compelled to take
steps to protect life and property of
Japanese and Allied subjects in view of
the murder of a Japanese soldier and
because there were no local organiza-
tions at the Siberian port able to main
tain law and order. The admiral adds
that he has asked his government for
further instructions.
President Soukhanoff of the Vladivo-
stok Council of Soldiers and Work
mems Deputies, reporting to the Coun-
Gil of National Commssaries, states
that in his opinion the killing of the
Japanese was political murder, as no
robbery was committed. Efforts to ap-
prehend the criminals, he adds, have
been unsuccessful.
M. Soukhanoff says the landing of
Japanese troops was effected in the
presence of the Japanese Consul and
Admiral Kato.
The Council of Soldiers and Work
mems Deputies protested to the con-
sular corps. The American and Brit
ish consuls consented to receive the
delegation as representatives of the
Soldiers and Workmen's Council. The
Japanese Consul would deal with them
only as private persons and the French
Consul refused to see them at all.
The Council Of National Commits
saries to-day issued statement say
ing:
Japan has started campaign
against the Soviet republic"
"The American government appar-
emily was against the Japanese inva-
sion, but now the situation cannot re-
main indefinite any longer. England
has followed Japan's example. This
must be put to the British government
with all emphasis. A similar course
must be pursued toward the diplomatic
representatives. of the United States
and other Entente powers"

Baker Urges
Rushing Men
To Aid Allies
Convinced America Must
Take Large Part in War
Earlier Than Intended
By Wilbur Forrest
(Trlbune Cable Scrvice)

PARIS, April I'll learn from the
highest authority that the paramount
thought in the mind of Secretary OF
War Newton D. Baker on the eve OF
his return to America is the necessity
of rushing American bavonets tc
France.
Since his return from Italy the Sec
retary has declined oil formal engage
ments or other functions and is spend
ing hours daily at the United States
Embassy, where he is in constant COM
munication and consultation with
American military heads, including
General Pershing. His conferences in
France, England and Italy, especially
since the outbreak of the encmy's des-
perate attempt to wind up the war,
have convinced him Of the imperative
need of America getting into actual
operations with both feet on this side
of the Atlantic as quickly as possible.
The Secretary's cables to Washing
ton daily emphasize this necessity, and
it is certain his own efforts when he
returns will be devoted to the speeding
up of the transportation of men and
war material.
My observations since Mr.. Bakers
arrival in Europe convince me he thor
oughly appreciates the fact that. Amer
ica must condense her voluminous pro-
gramme in order to give the best and
most ef4icacious help to the Allies I'M
mediately. There is no doubt in his
mind of the ability of the Allies to
fight the enemy to standstill, but
America must prepare to help to put
over the knockout blow sooner than
the War Office plans and blueprint
specifications have called for.
This means the saving of thou
sands of lives and mountains of money,
for every American soldier transported
to France within the next six months
will be worth two year from now,
just as those who arrived six months
ago are worth two new arrivals to-day.
am absolutely convinced Mr.
Bakers arrival in Washington will find
him the apostle of speed, War Depart

standing.

AMSTERDAM, April IA semi-of1-

by President Wilson at Baltimore on

from this yoke of force.

PARIS, April 7.-All Paris newspa-

only by devouring others until it shall
devour ITSELF"

Don't worry, but hurry. We can

Wilson's speech is plain, categoric, i'm
perious, and that millions of men in

are coming to reinforce it.
Compares Speech to Czernin's
The Petit Parisien" says:
What a contrast between the loyal,
limpid words of President Wilson and
the stilted, embarrassed and halting
phrases of Count Czernin!"

ably none are better fitted to hasten
the peace of justice which he desires

Heavy German pressure on a ten
mile sector of the French extreme
right has forced a withdrawal of
General Foch's divisions for
depth of about three miles.
According to Berlin the villages of
Folembray and Pierremande have
been captured, together with 1,4OO
French prisoners. Both these
towns stand on the Chauny- Goucy
lie Chateau road, which evidently
marks the present French line.
The German purpose is not only to
straighten out a salient which the
French previously held, but to
drive wedge into the French
front, where Foch's new line, occu-
pied since the British failure be-
fore St. Quentin, adjoins his old
hne running east along the
observation-disclosures. Foch is retir-
ing upon the Aillette River.

great Krupps company, whose story of his discovery that was was ina- pending was given here with the Lichnowsky abstract 8 few months ago, has given out a further state ment in Switzerland where he is now living. One feature of it is a vindica- ton of Belgium from any complicity in bringing on the war or knowledge that it was impending. He tells of the guns which Krupps had made for Belgium, and which were ready for delivery before the war, but at the request of Belgium were not de- livered. He says:
 Belgium drew virtually all her war material from Germany and depend ed upon us for models and manufac- ture. Thus 2S-centimeter guns for fortifying Antwerp had been ordered and were ready for delivery. The earthworks at Antwerp. however, were not sufficiently advanced and Belgium asked us to keep them, and shortly before the war even offered to pay storage on the guns if they were kept until 1t was convenient to accept them. The guns, therefore, were held, and when the war broke the Prussian War Minister took pos session of these valuable cannon and turned them to his own uses,'
