POLICY in RUSSIA
ROUSES HOUSE IRE
yanks Kept in Siberia to
Collect Bad Debts,
Is Charge.

Opposition in the House to the con-
tinued maintenance OF American
troops in Russia is crystallizing, and
may be voiced in an imperative de-
mand on President Wilson that he
issue instructions for the immediate
withdrawal Of these troops.
Vigorous protests against the
American policy with respect to Rus
sla/ and Russian affairs came this
morning to the House Foreign Az
fairs Committee when were read the
statement Of the State Department.
Of August 5, 1918, that Great Britain
and France were cooperating with
the United States in Siberia, and the
recent announcement by the War De-
partment that the United States now
has $500 troops in Siberia while
Great Britain and France have no
soldiers in that country.
/, Congressman Rhodes Of Missouri
and Mason of Illinois, Republicans,
appeared before the committee with
citizen delegations from their respec-
tive States to ask why American SOL
diers were being kept in Siberia and
for how long? The number Of Japa-
neBo and 1Lalian SOLDIERS now in that
country Why Great Britain and
France have no soldiers there, and
what is the policy OF the Japanese
government in connection with ST.
IBERIA.
At recent hearings before Congress
sional committees, Secretary. Baker
declined to go into the question of
this Governments Russian policy, but
stated that under agreement with
Great Britain and France, this Gov
srnment was pledged to assist in
military operations by the allies in
Siberia He further stated that Sc
lective draft soldiers were being dis
placed as rapidly as possible with
volunteers who had gone into the
regular army, and that soon all draft
men would be returned to this coun-
try.
Mason charges that the American
troops, ostensibly kept IN Siberia to
guard railroad property, were really
being kept there a. q collection
agency to enforce payment on some
ancient Russian bonds held In this
country. He said 1000 Of these
troops kept In Siberia were from ILL.,
nois, and that the parents Of the men
desired their return to this country
and their release from war service.
