with Japan they could be Withdrawn
only when the American railway ex
perts operating the road were with
drawn.

protected from a further period OF
chaos and anarchy only by keeping
the railroad open, and that lacking
the prime essentials of life, the peo
pie there were LOOKING to the United
States and the allies for economic as
sistance. This already is being ex
tended and additional supplies are to
be sent forward.
Rowing bands, having no connection
with any organized government in
Russia, are menacing the railroad, the
president said, and consequently its
protection by the military is neces
sary. American troops, he said, now
are engaged in guard duty at Vladi
vostok and around Verchne, Udinsk
A small body is also at Hardin.
The original purposes of the Amer
lean military expedition, Mr.. Wilson
wrote, were two fold:
The saving of the Czecho-Slovak
forces and the steadying of the eff
forts of the Russians at self-defense
or the establishment of law and or
der in which they might be willing
to accept assistance.
Maj. Gen. Graves, commanding the
expedition OF 5000 men, was spe
officially directed not to interfere in
Russian affairs, the president said,
but to support, wherever necessary,
