LAP PAYS TRIBUTE
 ID AMERICAN WORK
By Associated Press

Tokio. June 1.-M Zumoto, prominent Japanese journalist, who has just re- turned from Siberia, has declared in a sneech here that not one of the various alarmist reports concerning American ac- tivities in Siberia was well founded.
 On the contrary, he said,- the activities of Americans in Siberia are all unselfish and dedicated to the welfare and advance ment of the people of Russia. He es- pecially praised the work of the American Red Cross and the American Young Men S Christian association. It was a strik- ing thing he said, to notice that the men who direct the American activities were those who had lived in Japan and were friendly to the Japanese people.
 MT. Zumoto added that he had deliv- cred a number of speeches to the Jap anese people concerning the results of his trip in an effort to eradicate any mis- understanding. He looked toward to ac- tive cooperation between Japan and the United States in the future development of Siberia.
 The address was one of several made at luncheon given by Col R. B. Teusler, American Red Cross commissioner to Sl- beria, in honor of Maj. George w. Sim mons, deputy commissioner of the war ! CCuncll or the AtltIltili iNOo CAoSS, ViAo has just returned from an extensive trlp | into the heart of Siberia.
 | MT Simmons said he was convinced that | the present provisional government at | Omsk was wisely and efficiently conduct | ing the affairs in Russia in the interest of all of it's people. He added: Tt is
 unquestionably gaining from day to day
 ir the confidence of the people, while the
 military discipline, morale and effective
 ness of the new Russian army IS con l stantly improving"
 | Colonel Teusles said: "It is very much | to he desired that Japan and the United States assist as far as possible in this
 hum unitarian and philanthropic relief Tn Siberia and that we cooperate in this as sistance in every way in our power.' Both General Teusles and Major Sim mons are leaving for Washington to make 1 a report on the Siberian sltuatlon.
