The guarding of the Transsiberian
Railway, the protection of the vast
military stores at Vladivostok and the
policing of Amur were declared to be
secondary considerations. Only further
serious developments, including a
movement in force of German troops
into Siberia, would prompt Japan to
extend the Allied Asiatic line to be
established along coastal Siberia into
the interior beyond Harbin.
No confirmation had been received
here officially tonight of the reported
actual invasion of Siberia by japanese
troops. 1t has been known in Washing
ton, however, for considerable time
that Japan had modified formdablc
military forces in both Corea and Man
churia, and was prepared at moment s

Four Peace Principles Have
Clouded Our Minds,
Says Lawyer
Republican Club

Suggests the Elimination

James NJ. Beck, publicist, author of
THE Evidence i'll tht Case and former
Assistant United States Attorney Gen
eral, in a speech before the Repub-
lican Club yesterday charged that
President Wilson, in laying down four
address to Congress on February II,
had "mystifed the mind and paralyzed
the will of the American people"
Nothing more unfortunate has hap
pened," said Mr.. Beck, "since we en-
tered the war"
The 200 or more men who listened to
Mr.. Beck's address greeted this ut
terance and similar ones with thunder
GUS applause. Time and again the
speaker was cheered and at one time
every man in the hall rose and shouted
approval.
"lf the President" said Mr. Beck,
"will eliminate from his councils the
lntriguers, the pacifists, the doctrin-
aires and intellectual Bolsheviki he will
confirm the confidence which his coun-
trymen have so fully and ungrudgingly
given him"
At several points Mr.. Beck went be-
yond his text, in one such departure
saying:
If the war is to be compromised by
diplomatic finesse, if it is to be settled
on the basis of four innocuous and al
most meaningless principles, then all
the dead viii have died in vain"

four proposals, millions of soldiers

long as you stand, cynical and defiant.

This was the statement which brought
the audience to it's feet

congratulated him.

Indirect Loss
h ugh Draft

IN most sections much labor was lost
Indirectly through the draft. AS men
were taken from the industrial centres,
industry recruited it's forces from the
farms. The movement OF labor from
the farms TO industry has been con-
stantiy Increasing FOR more than two
and q half years, much more labor hav-
Ing been lost to agriculture in this way
than through the raising of the army.
In ihe cndeavor 10 retain labor,
farmers IN some sections have in
creased wages to more tn&n twice the
normal level. ln sorne places farm
hands are getting Dctwccn s75 and
$ioe a month ard board, and cven such

" "s@ s';2: 2s:: ;; ''s ,,, n'',',,
addressed by The Tribune to several
hundred country bankers and to a
number of agricultural experts in
q manner to constitute a nation
wide survey.
Many answers have been received
and digested, and the information
now is summarized and presented.
Its salient features are:.
| There is a shortage of labor,
ranging from 20 per cent in the
Central and Southern states to as
high as 40 per cent in the Western
states.
J That the loss of labor from the
farms is owing partly to the
draft and partly to the competition
of higher wages in war industry.
: That the food bins of the country
will have been scraped bare be-
fore this years crops are gathered.
4 That many farmers are afraid to
plant all they can for fear they
cannot get the hands to save it at
harvest time.
s That heroic spontaneous efforts
will be required to produce the
amount of foodstuff this year that is
needed to sustain democracy here
and abroad.
Bankers Made
Investigation
Relatively few of the replies re-
ceIved were given offhand. Interest in
the subject was SO deep that many
bankers made extensive investigation
Of local conditions, consulting farm
ers and county and state agricultural
officials to get at the facts.
From every state in the country
comes the report of labor scarcity, as
the paramount factor. The labor deficit
in the middle Atlantic states is 80 per
cent; in the Southern and Central
states, Il per cent; in the New Eng
land states, 38 per cent, and in the
Western states, DO per cent
IN saventy-eight of the sections from
which reports were received measures
are being taken locally to meet the sit
uatloA. In most cases. however, the
iaessures consist merely of more or
less definite plans to utilize the ser
vlces Of scnoolboys. In 100 districts
no measures are being taken.
There is a feeling that something
must be done, and yet very widely
farmers and others are, as Montana
banker tersely puts it, trusting God"
Many sections we're very little af-
fected b. hte draft, in a direct way, the
local boards being careful not to take
farm labor. In others it is reported
ttat mroe than half Of the supply of
farmhands was taken. One hundred
and fortytwo bankers reporting losses
through the draft estimated, on the
average, that 13 per cent Of the supply
had been so absorbed. The loss through
voluntary enlistment was heavy in
some places.

ECLIPSE TOMORROW

In brief paragraph The editor yes

would see an eclipse of the sun sat
urday. This is an error The eclipse
will start at $40 in the afternoon, will
reach its nearest total at $40. and will
be. gone by sun down. 1t is more than
likely that we win be able to viaw
the sun clear as it shoots its last rays
over the hill tops in the west.
More than an hour before the usual
time for darkness the stars win begin
to peek out and the sun will go about
IS percent into the shadow. That will
still leave some light but night viii
be apparently approaching. whereas
it should still be plain daylight
The American Review Of Review
prints this information about the
eclipse:
mo spectacle provided by nature
is more impressive than total
eclipse of the sun. This fact is not
generally realized by persons who
have never seen one. because then
idea of such an event is. as a rule
