international Character Of Move Is
Shown Which Is Expected to
Have Reassurins Effect on
.-... SIavs.

Washington, April 12.-American
marines have been landed from Uni
ted States warships at Vladivostok,
the great Siberian seaport, according
to a dispatch from Harbin, Man
churia
The dispatch states that the Am
erican forces are in addition to the
Japanese and British troops sent to
guard the city.
The Americans are in control of
the docks, the dispatch says, while
the Japanese are guarding the. rail
way and ammunition depots.
Distinctly International Action.
The landing of American marines
at Vladivostok is expected to have a
reassuring effect in Russia. With
American forces joining the British
and Japanese forces in protecting life
and the vast stores of war material
belonging to the Allies at the Siber-
ian port, the enterprise is given a
distinctly international character,
which, it is believed here, should quiet
ISdIS vi JuS huSSidLS dTOuScu ny NcI-
man suggestions that a Japanese in
vasion has been begun.
Since the attitude of the United
States is credited with having stayed
the proposal for real Japanese inter-
vention in Siberia to check German
influence, participation by Americans
Is counted upon to emphasize the
purely local character of an operation
undertaken to protect life and prop
erty where there is no competent
Russian authority to enforce order.
Step Not Unexpected at Capital.
No details are available as to the
number of marines landed. In fact
the Navy department has not been
officially informed of lle landing,
though American warships are at
Vladivostok and the step was not un-
expected The dispatch indicates the
marines have been in Wadivostok
nearly week. ..-.E ,.

At noon the enemy began a haras-
sing fire against one of our strong
points and kept it up throughout the
night, dropping hundreds of shells of
all calibers on both front and rear
positions. The American artillery re-
piled vigorously, the men in some
batteries working with their gas
masks on for two or three hours at

The Germans worked their way into
this place Wednesday but were un-
