President Is Watching
Siberian Situation,
SAYS London Times
CableEram to The Sunday Star and
the New York World.

CableSram to The Sunday Star and
the New York World.
LONDON. July 13.-"Russia Must
Be Helped" is the headline of an edi-
torial in today's Times. WHILE" it
says. "the allied governments have
doubted and hesitated the Czecho-Slo-
vaks have practically seized Siberia,
holds Siberia. They have shown how
easy it is. as we have repeatedly con-
tended, to create in Siberia rallying
points from which German invasion
of Russia can eventually be checked.
They must, of course, be helped and
without delay. Manifest1y Japan Is
in best position to send help quickly.
but we trust eventually all the allies
will participate in the enterprise so
full of promise.
The last word rests with the
United States. for the Siberian rail-
way will need considerable additions
to its rolling stock II movements on
an extensive scale is undertaken, and
railway material can be supplied only
by the United States government.
President Wilson's habit is not to
move in advance OF facts. but the best
proof Of his promptitude in dealing
with imperative situations is found
in great numbers Of United States
troops now streaming across the At
lantic. We believe It, may soon be
found that Wilson has been watching
the Siberian situation more closely
than commonly supposed and that he
fully appreciates the significance Of the
remarkable change that action of tho
Czecho-slovak8 have brought about"

VI ''It also seems clear that the German
majority socialists accept virtually all
the principles of the interallied mem

even the question of the responsibility
for the war. although they think that
no. good purpose would be served
thereby. They are ready to discuss
Belgium and Alsace-Lorraine and be-
iteve that an amicable solution can
be found. They agree to a complete

They urge that an international con-
