CECIL DECLARES
FEAR FOR SIBERIA
! in The FUTURE

London, March - Lord Robert
Cecil, Minister of Blockade, in a
statement, yesterday pointed out the
seriousness of the German menace in
Siberia and urged japanese interven-
ton there. He added:
Eve have information today that
German prisoners in Siberia are be-
ing organized and that a Prussian
general has been sent to take charge
of them"
In Trans-Caucasia, said Lord Rob-
ert, certain elements of the Bolshe-
wiki, acting in collision with German
and Turkish agents, have adopted
openly an anti-Entente attitude and
barred out the British mission which
was going to help the Armenians.
They have cut British wire commune
cations through north Persia with
Tifiis and south Russia.
Lord Roberts said he had received
assurances that many Russians would
welcome a Japanese expedition TO pre-
vent the Germanization of Siberia
He added:
"fn fact, 7 cannot conceive any pa
triotic Russian who would not prefer
the assistance of q friendly power,
aiming at the restoration of order, to
conquest by a ruthless and unprinci-
pied enemy.
THE japanese alone can act eff
fectively in the present crisis. If they
are intrusted by the allies with the
duty of going to the assistance Of
Russia against Germany, 1 am sure
they will carry out the task with per-
feet loyalty and great efficiency.
From the outset of our alliance
with Japan she has carried out with
great fidelity all her obligations as an
ally. We always have found her
scrupulously loyal in the performance
of her obligations.
81 do not think it is generally rea-
lized how tremendously serious the
German penetration of Russia really
is, or what a gigantic scheme of world
conquest the Germans now have I'M
dertaken, 1t would be in the high
est degree foolish, if not criminal, if
the Entente failed to take every step
possible to Illustrate this German
scheme.
Therefore I personally believe we
would be well advised to seek the as
sistance of Japan in a matter in
which she, and she alone, can do eff
tective service"

had been hiding, have explained why
they started out in broad daylight on
their backward sprint. They had lost
their way in the dark in No Mans
Land and got into the shell hole after
wandering for several hours. Finally
the men got hungry and all of then,
decided they would rather take a
chance with German bullets than go
any longer without food and water.

POL|CEWOMEN
APPOINTED TO

Washington, March - The War
police force. With more than a mil
lion and a half men already in khaki,
and millions more awaiting the call to
the colors, the department has turned
to the so-called weaker sex for assist
ance in disposing of a vital wartime
problem.
Thousands of young women have
gone to the vicinity of the military
camps. To see that these girls are
protected from dangers, the depart
ment's Commission on Training Camp
Activities has appointed SIS women
deputy sheriffs to do scouting and pa
troll work. In all parts of the country
the women are on duty under the su-
pervision of especially established
Girls Protective Bureaus.
Girls actually resident in the Vi
entity of the camps are protected.
RunaWays are restored to their par
ents, and amusement places are scru-
tinized carefully. The work offers an
opportunity for the officer to exercise
discretion, sympathy and a knoWl-
edge of human nature that particu-
larly are her own.
These women are trained socio-
logical workers and so peculiarly
equipped for efficient service. Their
duties are intensely personal in char
acter and are concerned chiefly with
individuals. Although cooperating
closely with the military authorities
and local police. they wear no uni
form, badge or distinguishing mark
of any kind.
Often" says Miss Maude Miner,
chairman of the Committee on Pro-
tective Work for Girls, 1.-The women
protective officers find girls in the vi
cinity of the camps who are attracted
by the presence of the uniform. Some
of these are girls who have answered
advertisements and who arrive in
camp cities with insufficient funds;
others are runaways from their homes
in nearby cities and country towns. A
girl resident of the town. who is dis
posed to resist discipline, is taken to
her home by the woman officer and
her mother warned of her danger. The
officers also visit nearby amusement
places to discover young girls who
seem to need protection and to see
that local ordinances are obeyed.

Paris March 9.-Germans are try

Their last communique on the sub

planes and nine captive balloons. We

French authorities report that in
December the English brought down
SIS German machines and the French
Al, making a total of 106 instead of
"a admitted by the Germans. The
French claim of enemy machines does
not include IS German machines
which were seen to fall but the loss
of which has not been officially con-
firmed The combined British and
French aerial losses during Deem
Der were AZ machines instead of 1928
claimed by Germany. Of these British
lost 80 and the French II.
The German "camouflage" in the
communicate is found the words ''in
aerial combats." 1t is pointed out that
the Germans forgot to include the
number of their machines brought
down by anti-aircraft guns of the AL
lies while they claim as losses all al
lied machines seen to fall within their
own lines and many Of which are vir-

DEvENS men ARE
NOW ON DUTY AT
FIGHTING FRONT

Camp Devens, March 9-Now that
Washington dispatches are being sent
out releasing information concerning
the American army in France. figures
on troop movements from this camp
are believed to be permissible. Exact
figures are not at hand, but estimates
put the contributions of men for
overseas duty from this cantonment
at from 1900 to 10000 men. These
men are now, or will be soon, attach
ed to the corps troops, of which
Washington makes mention, as the
integral parts of the field artillery.
1t is estimated, also, that this large
contribution of men, from this camp
is one of the highest. if not the high
est, in the country, at least in point
of percentage. The fact that so many
men from the New England division
were called upon for almost immedi-
ate service is considered a high COM
pliment to the type and efficiency of
the men of the 18th Division and also
General Hodges and his officers in
| bringing them to such high stand
ards in such a short time.
! In round figures there have been
about $4,000 men at the cantonment.
| OF this number about 10, 900. were vol
| unteers. The rest were draft men.
From the total number of men about
$4,000 have been transferred from
this cantonment, at least 10000 hav-
| ing been sent South. Most of these
men have been used to fill gaps in
other divisions, below war strength.
Many of these have probably gone
abroad with these divisions Some of
those sent South are at schools.
| OF the remainder of the troops
transferred, the majority have gone
overseas. The first contributions to
the overseas forces consisted of 1900
men transferred to the 26th Division
now the front line trenches From
that time to the present there have
been from time to time movements OF
troops from the cantonment, most OF
whom were probably destined for
overseas duty. Some of these men are
engaged in special duty in France
such as military police work, but the
majority are destined it is believed
for service in the field army.
