according to Lithuania sources here.
Word to this effect was brought by

Won Der Goltz.
They control the railway lines In all
the occupied territory. They number
$4,000 Germans and 5000 Russians, all
wearing the German uniforms.
Call Themselves Volunteers.
Tho Germans called themselves vol
unteers, according to the engineer. and
claim allegiance to the ALL Russian

Foch or the interallied council.
Altho the Lithuanian government at
Kovno had sent many notes TO tho
Germans demanding their withdrawal.
and the allied officials had ordered
them out, they paid no attention to tho

Mr.. Baker could give no indica-

said this is n question for tho presi-
dent and tho state department.
After Secretary Bakers testimony
the committee went into executive
session TO hear Assistant Secretary OF

various phases of the Russian situn-

details OF his statement was given
out.
Later In tho day Mr. Baker and
Mr., Long held q conference with Sec

conference was not made public. but
1t was understood that II dealt with
the measures necessary to expedite
the return of the entire American ST.
berian expedition.
Two thousand volunteers already
have been dispatched to Siberia to
reulace the drafted men. Mr. Baker
said. and another contingent OF 1000

"As I understand It, the troops
