AMERICA DECLINES
TO INVADE RUSSIA
ATTITUDE OF STATE DEPART.
MENT REMAINS UNCHANGED,
FOLLOWING INVESTIGATIONS.
Russian Embassy Had Appealed "a
Allies to Send an Expeditionary
Force Into Russia to Repel
the Germans.

Northumberland has been no
change in the policy of the American
government in dealing with the Rus
sian situation.
In spite of recurring rumors that mil
itary faction in Siberia by the allies.
with American support or approval is
imminent, it was learned Wednesday
that no agreement has been reached on
any feasible plan for positive action in
regard to Russia, and consequently the
attitude of the state department Is
just what it has been since the subject
first was broached. The official view
here is that this attitude must remain
unchanged until there is some further
development of great importance in
Russia.
An authoritative explanation was
given after the Russian embassy had
transmitted TO the state department an
appeal to the United States and the
allies to send an expeditionary force
to Russia to repel the Germans, for
warded by the central committee of
the Cadet party. The committee

constitutional democratic forces, asked
that such an expedition be under in
ternational control, to guarantee the
rights of its country.
Recent developments, not only in old
Russia, but in the Ukraine and in ST.
IBERIA, and a growing spirit of unrest in
China and Japan, with increasing
pressure in the capitals of the entente
powers for some sort Of concerted ac-
ton, have not been overlooked by of
ficials here, and the developments Of
each day are being studied with the
closest attention. From the maze of
contradictory reports which the cables
and mails bring daily to Washington, 1t
Is difficult for the officials to arrive
at an exact understanding of the stu
alton as whole.
It is evident that the Bolshevik gov
eminent is now meeting with strong
opposition, not only from the old con-
sentative elements in Russia, but also
from certain powerful factions just as
inimical to the restoration of the en-
pire as the most pronounced Red Rus
sian.

ALL PREPARED FOR MEASLES

Which to Make Jest.

Have you had the measles YETI
Well, just be patient. 1t is only a
matter of time.
A physician was asked how he ac-
counted for the great number Of cases
Of measles this year, and he smiled
and said that the old germs were all
frozen during the very cold weather
and that they were trying out the new
supply. Professional men have such
charming manners, which invariably
accompany those evasive answers.
One never knows whether they are
afraid Of disclosing state secrets or
whether the sweet smile and graceful
bow are serving in an armorial ca
paeity.
So, If you awaken some morning and
your forehead is a mass of little
patches of carmine and your throat
feels dry and your head feels hot, don't
be alarmed. It simply means that
you have been chosen to become a
member Of the Ancient Accepted Or
der of Measleites, and that the initia-
tlon has begun. A five days vacation
IS about TO be thrust on you, which
you viii enjoy, more or less, probably
less. particularly IL you have the
"Hun" variety, which il as treacher-
GUS as the name implies.
OF course, IL you are pressed for

Good shortstops are just as scarcs

The few veterans who have been

the big leagues for years are still do
ing 1t, but as they pass out one by one
the magnates have a hard time filling
their shoes.
The season of 1918 finds several
clubs trying out new players at short,

Coast league last season with his field

centage of $50 He hit .276, and he
ranks as the best hitting shortfielder
who has come up to the big show in
several years.
Russell Blackburn, who gained fame
as the $4,000 beauty of the White
Sox some moons ago, is getting an.
other crack at a major league meal
ticket with the Cincinnati Reds. Rus
sell has always ranked as a sweet
fielder, but his work with the blud-
geon has generally been so weak that
he couldn't make good. AS member

slammed the pin around at .268 clip.
Walter Gerber, who was taken on
by the st. Louis Browns late last
season, and who once had a tryout

hitting figures in the American associ.
