Tokio's Reply to u. S. Pro-
posal for Military Action
Expected Daily
All Allies to Join
In the Undertaking
Forces for Intervention To
Be Assisted by 100000
Czecho-Slovaks
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune


WASHINGTON, July 19.-The reply
of Japan to the communication of the
United States, proposing military ac-
ton in Siberia, is expected daily in
Washington. The Japanese Cabinet,
the Foreign Advisory Council, the
Elder Statesmen and the Emperor have
considered it, and the views of Japan's
military and naval experts have been
obtained
The communication marks modi-
fcation of President Wilson'S views
as expressed to Japan three months
ago in response to an invitation from
Japan to discuss the Russian situation,
the United States at that time being
opposed to military intervention, not
so much in principle, but believing it
would be unwise at that moment.
The new communications, it is under
stood, is based on developments occa-
stoned by the exploits of the Czecho-
Slovak forces in Russia, the dangers
confronting those in Western Siberia
and European Russia, and the necessity
of sending into Siberia and possibly to
European Russia an expedition to re-
lieve them.
Favorable Reply Expected
Neither the State Department nor
the Japanese Embassy would authorize
any statement on the subject of the
exchanges taking place between Toxic
and Washington. AT the department
it was learned the conversations have
not been concluded. The belief in best
Informed circles is that the reply will
be favorable, possibly with some modi-
fcations of President Wilson's PROPOSE
ton.
1t was pointed out that there is no
recognized Siberian government, and
as the United States and the Allies
nave no diplomatic relations with the
Bolshevlh government, there is no au-
thority to which this country and the
Allies might look to cooperate with in
the assistance all are eager to give
Russia. In this situation the appear
ance OF the Czecho -Slovaks, who have
been betrayed by the Bolsheviki and
are not only loyal to the Allies out
anxious to renew their fighting against
the Central Powers, came at~saYrr ory.-
perfume time to present an occasion
for action in Siberia
Details of the proposed action in ST.
berla are not known. 1t is only known

LORD DECIES
POPULAR THO
HE'S CENSOR

Dublin, July 10.-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press -Seldom can
a person burdened with the duties Of
an important censorship lay claim to
any considerable degree of popularity,
hut Ireland possesses a press censor
who is really popular even with the
men whose writings he is compelled
to blue-pencil and criticize. The Irish
press censor is Lord Decies. we'll
known in the United States. and all
classes of Irish newspaper men ap-
pear to be agreed that he is the right
man for the place.
Lord Decies censorship office is
located on two upper floors in build
ing on Grafton street. Dublin-above
barber shop and billiard room.
Irishmen hate ceremony and unneces-
sary Formally and Lord Decies is not
in the least pompous or ceremoniOus.
He is always ready to meet and talk
with the men whose copy" he CEN
sOrs, and when the business Of the
moment is finished. he is ready to
chat with them for few minutes on
the favorite Irish topics Of sport and
horses, on both of which subjects he
is an expert.
The key to Lord Decies success as
censor, however, is probably that
he has succeeded in convincing all
classes of Irishmen, whether Sim
Fem or Orangemen, of his absolute
impartiality and fairness to both sides.
One of the best tributes to his popu-
larity is that he is occasionally made
