1000 japanese
Troops in Siberia,
rs Russian Report

LONDON, Friday. March s.-Details
of an alleged landing # japanese
troops at V(adivostok in January are
given in the Petrograd newspaper,
"Novaia Zhizn," of January 10, which
has just bean received here. The paper
says that the japanese cruiser Mikado
arrived on January ~ and was fol-
lowed by two more cruisers on January
IA.
Four thousand soldiers were landed
and numbers of officers continued to
arrive in Vladivostok daily, according
to the newspaper The Japanese ad-
mlral assured the local Workmen's and
Soldiers Council that the arrival Of
ships and troops should not be consid-
cred as the beginning Of military oper-
ations, but they were there to protect
Japanese subjects.
The message to the "Novaia Zhizn"
says the Vladivostok public was
alarmed greatly and that revolutionary
committees were concentrating Boil
shevik troops
Information concerning the reported
entrance Of British and Japanese
cruisers into Vladivostoll ha1hor was
asked of the British and japanese en-
bassies in Petrograd on January 20 by
the Rolshevik government. The Japan
csc Embassy in Pctrograd INN ediately
issued an official statement denying
that Japanese forces had been landed
at Vladivostok. 1t was added that the
presence of a japanese cruiser at Vladi-
vostok had no connection with the
situation in Russia. The British EN-
hassy said that British warships had
gone to Vladivostok to protect Allied
subjects against possible disorders
A German account of the alleged land
ing of Japanese troops at Vladivostok
in January carried the report that
American and British troops also were
landed from warships of those ma
tons. The report was contained in a
dispatch under Petrograd date printed
in the Berlin "Tageblatt" of January
so. The dispatch, translated, reads:
"The English, American and Jaran-
csc warships which arrived in the har-
Dor of Vladivostok have landed troops
which have occupied not only the har-
Dor, but also the entire city. The Rus
sian authorities were presented a note
which had been signed by the Japan
csc Consul General at Vladivostok on
behalf of the powers which occupied
the city. The contents of the note
were telegraphed to Petrograd."

The feeding value of timothy hay, as

in order to be sure Of hay crop, some

Timothy hay contains low percent
age of protein but the protein content
varies great deal, depending upon the
period OF cutting. When cut before
bloom, II contains Al per cent digestible
protein; cut early to full bloom, 3:6 per
cent digestible protein; cut ut late bloom

Sailor Invents Fire Escape.

One Of the boys aboard our navy's
feet has invented fire escape which
Is similar to the rope ladders used
aboard ships. His principal object
was to provide q collapsible nre es
cape which could be compactly and
conveniently arranged at the window
of q dwelling. It consists Of q con-
tainer hinged to the sill In such .
manner that by opening the window
and folding the container on Its hinge
the metal ladder may be unfoldet

gone through, q means is automat
acally provided whereby the ladder II
held at q distance from the walls Of
the building. The advantage Of such
precaution Is obvious.

CALLS FOR BRAKE
Middle. Aged Man Would Slow Up
Wheels Of Time.
Is Living In Hope That Some Man
Will Devise a Workable Scheme
for Renewing Ones Lease Of
Life, and Do 1t Quickly.

"What we really need" said the
middle-aged man, 'is some way OF
slowing up the wheels Of time.
"As every man who has begun to
get on In life knows, the older we
grow the faster time seems to fly. In
our youth even single days seem to
be endless; but when we get to be
about so old the years 60 80 fast that
they seem to spin around like pin
wheels. .
"There was once an advertiser with
a patent medicine to sell who started
off his advertisement by describing
himself us a retired physician whose
sands of life had nearly run out A
well-meaning friend in the far West
wrote to him saying that II he would
mix little mo'asses with the sands
they wouldn't run out so fast.
"Of course there was an idea In
that; but the minute you come to think
1t over seriously you see that there Is
really nothing to 1t. To make the
wheels Of time turn slower you'd have
to have something more than molasses.
I have thought that perhaps we might
invent some sort of brake. very pow
erful brake, for this purpose, but l
guess there's really nothing In this
idea, either.
Lacking the means Of making the
wheels Of time turn slower, so that
we would seem to have more time, I
have thought that perhaps somebody
may yet devise way Of renewing our
lease of life. If we could get an in
definite renewal Of our life lease we
wouldn't care how fast the wheels
turned, because we'd have endless
years for them to turn In.
"'The man who could devise q work.
able, plan of this sort would get rich
beyond any sort of dreams whatever; (;
that is, If he could prolong his own
life as well as sell life-renewal leases
to others; for I fancy that, hard as
this world may be IL some respects,
the great majority Of US would like to
continue living In it long, long time,
and would give all we had for that
privilege.
'For myself, I can say that I like
the world very well and I would like
to stay on 1t interminablyl If there
Is anybody now working on this life

1t running before the sands Of my old
fashioned life shall have run out COM
pletely; and If when he opens up for
business he will let me know where
to find him i shall 60 to him; and, II
I have the price, take out as first

The variety of articles shipped is no less
impressive than the totals. One would
expect to find blankets, biscuits and
cough drops OF course; but the II light
ing systems are more Of surprise, as
are also the 100 organs and saw mill.
Soda fountains and stereopticon ma
chimes, typewriters and toothpaste and
talking machines; motorcycles, phono.

fort to reproduce over there something

KERENSKY'S AIDE HERE
TO GET ALLIED HELP


washington, June IL.
With the arrival at Seattle today of
former Russian Vice Premier Konovaloff.
kerensky's right-hand man. Russian Of
fcials here predicted a speedy decision
as to Allied plans for combating Ger
many's eastern conquests.
konoraloff was one of three Inflated
ministers falling into Bolshevik hands
after Kerensky's downfall. The other
two were assassinated. bu he was i'm
prisoned in Petrograd. until a serious
illness caused his release. He then fed
to China
The former vice premier. who. next to
kerensky. was the strongest man in Rus
STA directly after the Cars abdication:
will probably visit President Wilson and
Entente diplomats here. The Russian
embassy was advised that he was due at
Seattle today. and made its plans to have
Secretary Karpovitch meet him at
Chicago and Join Ambassador Bakhmle-
tieff in New York later this afternoon.
konovaloff's coming is significant,
when linked with the expected return,
July /. of Jean Zoukine, courier. with
adviCes fUm the Russian ambassadors
in Paris. London and Madrid. That the
| representatives of the old kerensky
regime are trying to stir up action to
restore themselves and to save Russia at
this critical time is the Interpretation
placed upon these events by diplomatic
observers.
Russians here picture Germany con-
trolling all Russia. unless some decisive
action is taken soon in Siberia, Semen
offs anti-Bolshevik revolution in Siberia
is being combated by Bolshevtk and
released Teuton prisoners-all German
ofticered, it is said. Japan and China
regard this situation as menacing. and
Indications are they will intervene unless
some allied action is taken to thwart the
present trend.
Entente diplomats are giving some
favorable consideration to a plan for
sending a Slav army into Siberia.
