Plans of U. S. in Russia
Two-fold According to
Information in Toxic

TOXIC, Tuesday, July 16.-Bv The
Associated Press 10 in
formation in Toxic, the plans of the
United States in Russia are two
fold:
First. military assistance to the
Czecho-Slovaks and. second. giving
general economic help to Russia.
II IS said there is no desire Oh the
part of the American government 10
intervene in Russ an affairs. but
that 1t faVors the dispatch of suffi-
cent force to leave the Czecho- Slo-
vaks free TO insure the safe arriv-
al of their comrades from the interi-
or.
The impression here tonight is that
Japan. in q spirit Of cooperation
with her allies, will follow the sug-
gestion and like the Americans. send
troops. Great Britain and France, 1t
is said. also will send small contin-
gents SO as to make the movement
inter allied.
Many Japanese leaders. however,
favor. more extensive military move
ments in Siberia than have beeA
suggested by the United States.
Their ideas are based on combating
the eastward extension of German
influence and the safeguarding III
Japan's interests. 1t is suggested as
not being unlikely that the Japanehe
government responding to this opin-
ion which is growing, later may opca
negotiations with the United States
and the entente governments con-
corning the wisdom of intervention
in Russia. which, while being chief
ly directed by Japan, would be sup
ported by al the allies.

felled him to the ground and on his

brought about by Ricker's going to
