NEW YORK.-To win the war the

statements that have been made that
100000 men should go.
The United States, he said, will not
be diverted by insincere talk of peace
from the Teutonic powers. Their pro-
posals, he declared, spring from a
desire to have a free hand in the
east.

OUR PRESIDENT LED
BIG RED CROSS PARADE
Marches on Foot Through Fifth Ave.
nue., New York, Before $4,000
Soldiers of Mercy.

NEW YORK-The president of the
United States marched on foot
through Fifth avenue Saturday at the
head of $4,000 soldiers of mercy. Then
standing in the reviewing stand, he
gravely saluted the colors as the
women of the Red Cross filed past, in
a seemingly endless line.
The miles of white-gowned march
ers madea mute but heart-stirring APP

the work of relief and succor.
The great procession in this city
was described as "only one of 1900
parades, with 100000 Red Cross
workers, marching on the same aft
ernoon in the United States"
Perhaps never before had New
York seen such a demonstration OF
patriotism. 1t was known the presi
dent would review the parade, but his
intention to march at the head OF
the line had not been announced
Leaving his hotel after taking lunch
con with Mrs. Wilson, he motored III
the avenue until he met the head Of
the column at Sixty-sixth street.
AS the presidents car drove up tc
the curb he was recognized and greet
ed with a cheer such as the historic
avenue seldom has heard. But thai
was as nothing to the deluge he founc

took his place. The cheering contin

strobe down the avenue, doffing hi:

in acknowledgment.
There was another deafening roal
as Mr.. Wilson turned into the review

was about to take his seat Cana

JAPAN AND CHINA
TO RESIST KAISER
Defensive Action Against Germans
in Siberia Is Not Opposed
by American Policy.

WASHINGTON Information
reached the state department Mon
day of the conclusion of an agree
ment between Japan and China for
the protection of their common in
terests in the far east against Ger
man aggression. Although giving few
details, the reports to the department
were said to make it clear that the
agreement was only for the period of
the war and was solely for protect
i've purposes.
A Joint defensive to counterfeit Ger
man aggression in Siberia is known
to be contemplated, but information
was lacking as to whether this would
involve a movement in force into ST.
IBERIA by Japanese and Chinese troops.
AS to the necessity for such action
the state department is not informed,
but it is assumed that because of
their proximity to Siberia Japan and
China, with a much keener interest
in that country than any other pow
ers. doubtless were in better position
to know the extent of German influ-
ence there and the necessity of curb
ing it by military force.
American Policy Not Affected.
Regarding the agreement as of a
purely defensive nature, the state de-
partment does not believe it directly
concerns the United States, and con-
sequently it involves no change in
the policy of the department in the
treatment of the far eastern question.
That policy, it is said, properly
might be subject to revision if in the
future Japan and China should find
it necessary or advisable to call upon
the United States or the entente allies
for military or other substantial as.
sistance in carrying out their plans
Motives Not Questioned.
AS the matter now stands there is
not the slightest disposition to ques.
ton the motives that impel the two
eastern nations to join hands to pro
tect themselves from any danger
which they may foresee.
