"The flagship was lifted out OF the

Nearing the locks the crew flung
landing lines outboard, which quickly
drew inboard steel cables that led to

tracks on each side OF the locks. The
whole operation seemed to function
automatically, for not an order was
heard as the dreadnoughts slid into
the lower locks as easily as a shuttle
in a sewing machine. The steel gates
astern the flagship then closed like
great jaws and churning water rose
up from viaducts in the bottom OF
the lock. while the New Mexico was
lifted as easily and rapidly as a row.

out of the next two locks in the same
fashion while crowds standing on top
of the concrete lock walls threw ba-

Washington. July 2e,-The presidents
message to the senate follows:
For the information of the senate and
| in response to the resolution adopted
June 10. 1910. requesting the president
to inform the senate, II not incompat-
ible with the public interest, of the rea-
son for sending United States soldiers
to Siberia, the duties that are to be
performed by these soldiers, how long
they are to remain. and generally adj
wise the senate of the policy OF the
United States government in respect TO
Siberia and the maintenance of the
United States soldiers there, l have the
honor to say that the decision to send
American troops to Siberia was an
nounced to the press on August 5. 1918,
In a statement from the acting secre-
tary Of state, Of which a copy is en-
closed.
This measure was taken in conjunc-
ton with Japan and in concert of pur-
pose with the other allied powers, first
OF all to save the Czecho- Slovak armies
which were threatened with destruction
by hostile armies, apparently organized
by and often largely composed of, en-
envy prisoners OF war. The second pur-
pose In view was to steady any efforts
of the Russians at self-defense. or the
establishment of law and order in which
they might be willing to accept assist
ance.
Two regiments OF infantry. with aux
Hilary troops-about 5000 electives
comprising a total of approximately
10000 men. were sent under the COM
mand of Maj Gen. William S. Graves.
The troops began to arrive at Vladi-
ostok in September. 1918. Considerably
larger forces were dispatched by Japan
at about the same time, and much
smaller forces by others OF the allied
powers. The net result was the sue
cessful reunion of the separated Czecho-
Slovak armies, and the substantial
elimination in eastern Siberia of the
active efforts of enemy prisoners of
war. A period of relative quiet then
ensued.
Conditions for Undertaking
In accepting the railway plan. it was
provided that some protection should
be given by the allied forces. Mr.. Ste
vens stated frankly that he would not
undertake the arduous task before him
unless he could rely upon support from
American troops in an emergency. Ac-
cordingly. as provided in the railway
plan, and with the approval of the in
terallied committee. the military COM
manders In Siberia have established
troops whore it is necessary to main
tain order at different parts of the line.
The American forces under Gen. Graves
are understood TO be protecting parts OF
the line near Vladivostok, and also on
the section around Verchne Udinsk.
There is also understood TO he a small
body Of American troops at Hardin.

purchase OF q large block OF English

GERMAN REJOICINGS

Speaking to The Associated Press today
Herr Schuecking expressed the belief
that delay in ratification would give
Americans a further opportunity to
study the document" adding that no
trusted they would avail themselves Of
It."
The treaty In Its present form" he
continued, demands revision, not only
on the ground Of its general infcasibil,
ity. but because OF the structure of the
covenant Of the league Of nations Ilain-
ly its rejection by the United States
would be dictated only by the interests
OF America While l would regret tho
absence Of American representatives,
from the commission on repatriation
and the lack OF American influence on
deliberations. I believe the moral VIC
tory accomplished by the rejection Of
the treaty would be almost preferable,
both for the benefit of mankind and the
restoration Of peace"
