1t has been reported in press dis
patches that Chinese troops may be

been no word of diplomatic action in
Pekin.
1t is believed possible that Chinese
troops may be concentrating on the
Russian frontier as reports have been
received of widespread lawlessness
by Russian hordes along the border.
Towns have been looted by the Rus
slams and there have been indications
that Russian bandits would invade
Chinese territory in their predatory

The extent of Japanese penetration

Q. N. S. Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, March 5-Japan
probably will let her intentions re-
garding Siberia become known during
the next "a hours. 1t is understood
here that the entente ambassadors in
Toxic have asked Japan, on request OF
their governments, to protect allied
interests in all Siberia. That the
MikadO's government will agree to do
so is considered certain.
1t is understood here that when
Japan acts she will do so in that
manner which will give the least of
Tense to the Russian people.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The at
titude of the United States toward
military action in Siberia by Japan
was still undetermined at the close of
this afternoons cabinet meeting.
Cabinet members were more than or
dinarily reticent but it was learned
from excellent sources that the mat
ter is still under deliberation by the
president and his advisers. Rumors
that America would withhold formal
approval of Japanese occupation of q
part OF Siberia to check the Prussian-
Russian menace were nothing more
than rumors, 1t was stated.
Members of the cabinet refused
point blank to discuss the statement
OF the London Evening News that this
country assents to action by Japan in
Siberia.

PARIS, March 5.-Despite reports
sedulously disseminated by enemy
propagandists of colossal. concentra-
tions of German, Austro-Hungarian
Bulgarian and Turkish troops along
the western front, it is now known
that Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
has augmented his forces in Flanders
and France with less than half a mil
lion men for his much vaunted often
sive. Furthermore it is estimated that
the total strength of the German
armies opposing the French, British
and American forces is approximately
8, 100000 men, of whom, at the most
10000 900 can be used in actual fight
ing.
Twenty new German divisions nave
appeared on the western front since
late in the autumn, sixteen of them
coming from the Russian front and
four from the Italian theatre of war.
A German division comprises in all
about 10000 men, but that figure IN
cludes all branches of service. The
bayonets or rifle strength of divi-
sion of 10000 men is never above 12,-
900 and frequently drops as low as
7 800 in a division on an active sector,
where there is an extraordinary
amount of work to be done behind the
first line trenches. Ten thousand is a
fair average of the fighting strength
of a division today.
Four German divisions were trans
lferred from the Italian front at the
end of December, leaving only three
remaining there with Field Marshal
lBoerovic. Three Austrian divisions
were removed from the Italian front
also, but it is believed that they had
been cut to pieces and were sent to
the rear to be reformed rather than
being sent to west Flanders as report
ed in the press.
There are now only SO divisions
along the lengthy Russo-Roumanian
front, as compared with 115 prior to
December 1. Formerly there were n
German divisions holding the norther-
ly end of the line, of which 16 have
been sent to the west, leaving only 61
The Austrian strength has been main
tanned there still being 33 divisions
facing the Russian and Roumanian fir
ing line.
Two Bulgarian and two Turkish di-
visions still remained in the neigh
borhood of Tarnopol (Galicia) being
held in reserve.
1t must be remembered however
that among the 81 divisions on The
Russian front the number of effectives
, available for service in the more ac-
tive warfare in France and Belgium
is very low. Nearly all of the able
bodied men between the ages of 20 and
, 35 have long since been combel oul
and incorporated in divisions station
ed in the west. The 81 divisions are
made up of landwehr, landstrum anC
new units containing IS and 10 yea,
old boys getting active training.
With 241 divisions the German arm,
is larger than it ever has been an,
! represents total force of nearly s.
000,0 900 men. But of this gigantic NUN
ber less than so per cent can be pu
, in the trenches for actual fightin,
|, with rifle and bayonet.
