Wilson'S Russ Plan D;sappo;nts Allies

President Wilson'S plan for dealing
with the Russian situation Is regarded
here in diplomatic quarters as disap-
pointing to some OF the allies. notably
Great Britain and France, altho they
nave assented to the proposal that
America and Japan shall operate in
Vladivostok with II joint military force
to guard the port and aid the Czech
Slovaks in n small military way.
While the French and British also
arc to send small forces to vladivostok

the american Japanese force. Protc,-
tive operations are to continue ut MUIR

of the negotiations over the Slbsrlln

tions, who are dcply Interested in the
regeneration OF Russia, look with re-
grct upon the decision to confinc this
commission to citizens OF the United
States. II has heen urged In the con-
sidcration OF this problem that the
commission should be composed OF dis
tinsuishcd citizens OF all the allied ma
tions. The fact that President Will

cizcd abroad. in the opinion Of diplo-
mats here.
Roosevelt Mentioned for Place.
No announcement has ben made as
to those likely to be members OF the
American commission. Theodore
! Roosevelt has been mentioned because
he Is better! known to Russians than
any other American, but It Is said his
appointment is out Of the question.

astically consented to the American
plan. and It is believed here that Jap
ancse troops are ready to sail for Via

made as to the movement Of the Amer

He entered Melbourne university from

Institution he took civil engineering,
He was always actively interested in
things military, but It is on record that
not long before the, war when he was
consulted about boy who longed for
a cadetship at Duntroon (the Aus
tralian West Point") he said:
" the boy has any aptitudes with
which he can enrich and widen his

There is nothing 50 narrow. nothing
more deadening than the walls OF adj

a colonel of militia in his native state,
Victoria. Also he was in command Of
the Australian intelligence corps, CONE

of the three first expeditionary brigades
found him an applicant for command,
but others were given service before
he was selected. For a short time he
