London, Sept. 20.-The Czecho-

largely, owing to lack of munitions

succeeded in occupying Volsk, Sim

appears to have been due entirely
to lack of ammunition by the

WITH j. S.
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF
ACCEPTANCE OF PROPOSAL
MADE IN LONDON.

London. July 27.-It is announced
officially that Japan has decided TO
accept the American proposal to IN
sist the Czecho- Slovak armies in 81
IBERIA.
In relation to the plans Of this
government and Japan for the re
habilitation Of Russia this seems 10
be settled.
First-That the President has ad-
hered TO his proposal that an Ameri-
can commission with the widest pow
er Of diplomacy and propaganda be
sent into Russia. prepared to meet
with and deal with any government
that may exist there for the restora-
tion Of normal conditions in the old
empire.
Second-That the President oppos-
es any military Intervention in Rus
sia. but does not oppose the landing
Of n joint American and Japanese
force sufficiently large to maintain
order in the chaotic Siberian cities,
TO protect the allied military stores
and to furnish guard for the Amer
lean mission.
Third-That the President feels
that the allies can do no less than
deal with the Czecho-Slovak forces
now In Russia as friends and TO aid
them in their desire TO fight the Cen
trail powers. either ON the side Of q
regenerated Russia or in France or
Italy.
Fourth the President is un-
compromisingly opposed to the laun-
ching Of great military movement
against Germany through Russia by
the American or other allied troops
on the ground that il is neither poll
tic nor practical TO undertake such
an enterprise.
