JAPAN UNSETTLED

RUSSIANS JOIN GERMANS

BY tho Assoeiated Press.
LONDON. March 25.-An Exchange
Telegraph Company dispatch from
Tientsin, China, dated Friday says that
the latest message from Toxic declared
that the japanese government regard
ed the Siberian situation as sufficiently
preparations. Further formal deliber-
atoms between Japan and the principal
allied powers. 1t is added. would be
necessary in order to obtain absolute
unanimity.
TOXIC, March 24.-The interest in
America and in Europe in the POSSIBLE
ity of Japanese military Intervention
in the war is duplicated in Japan. where
to Siberia not only overshadows every
thing else, but has created q national
problem not approached in Importance
since the Russo-Japanese war. The

Cossacks Join Germans, Is Report
By the Associated Press. -,-..---
HARDIN, Monday, March 1S.-Russian
and German soldiers in Siberia are Or
ganizing an army corps composed OF
one exclusively Russian division and
another which will be two-thirds Ger
man and one-third Austrian, according
to reports reaching official quarters at
Irkutsk. -Four Thousand Cossacks are
said to have Joined 10000 Germans. the
combined force being expected to go to
Irkutsk.
L. S. Gray, an American business man
at Omsk. reports that 1000 prisoners
with machine guns, airplanes, motor
cycles, armored cars and ammunition
have been concentrated at Tomsk.
At Krasnoyarsk a passport bureau
has been established and is supplying
to Austrian soldiers credentials under
Russian names. The Germans are
guarding 10000 rifles in the arsenal at
Irkutsk. All these movements. accord
ing to information reaching here, are
parts of plan to mobilize along the
frontier and oppose any advance by
foreign troops.
President Wilson's message to the
a1l-Russian congress at MOSCOW has
been received with enthusiasm in
Siberia There is much speculation as
to whether his remark about the inabii-
ity Of American to give help referred to
Siberia. The press as whole inter-
prets the message as guarantee OF
Russias integrity against all outsiders.

HOW PRESIDENT WILSON

Washington, Nov 7.---President Wilson was inform

The United Press dispatch from Paris brought the
first news to Washington and it was conveyed to the
state war and navy departments and both houses of
congress well to the various embassies and legations
by the Washington United Press bureau.
The United Press flash reached here at exactly noon
and at 1916 official word had been received

He made no further comment.

The general staff at that time was hearing Of it
through the cable censors office.
Shortly after Baker learned the news Secretary of
State Lansing received the United Press cabegrams He
oo reserved but the spirit everywhere was one of re-
lief from tension.
The signing Of the armistice caused no surprise to-
cabinet members Only this forenoon Secretary Daniels
had said:

Official news of the signing was expected momen-

The United Press message announc-

the cessation Of hostilities was filed in

considerably later than the message
received by the state department.

Smyrna times., 1918-12-25

A food map of Europe today shows
not a single country in which the fu-
ture does not hold threat of serious
difficulties and only a small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even in the Ukraine, with stores accu-
mulated on the farms, there is famine
in the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand in different rela-
ton from the other nations to the peo.
pie of the United States. America has
for four ye%rs maintained the small
war rations of Belgium and northern
France and is alrea6y making special
efforts to care for their increased
after-the-war needs, which, with those
OF Serbia, must be included in this
plan, are urgent in the extreme and
must have immediate relief.
The gratitude of the Belgian nation
for the help America has extended to
her during the war constitutes the
strongest appeal for us to continue Oul
work there. The moment the German
armies withdrew from her soil and she

In order to fulfill Americas pledge
in world relief we will have to export
every ton of food which can be han.

the very least a minimum of 20,000000
tons compared with 100000 tons pre-
war exports and 11,S2O,OOO tons ex-
ported last year, when we were bound
by the ties of war to the European
allies.
If we fail to tighten the black spots
on the hunger map or if we allow any
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled
will be threatened. Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine. Should this
happen we will see in other parts of

tude to the Commission for Relief in
Belgium for preserving the lives Of
millions of her citizens.
Germany, on the other hand, need
not figure in such a map for Ameri-
cans because there is no present indi-
cation that we shall be called on at all
to take thought for the food needs of
Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own food problem if she is
given access to shipping and is enabled
to distribute food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trOu-
BILE centers.
England, France, the Netherlands
and Portugal, all of which have been
maintained from American supplies
have sufficient food to meet immediate
needs, but their future presents 5eri-
Gus difficulties. The same is true of
Spain and the northern neutral cOun-
tries-NOrway, Sweden and Denmark
whose ports have been open and who
have been able to draw to some degree
upon foreign supplies.
