AMERICAN SOLDIER
FLOGGED BY COSSACKS
American Soldiers in Siberia Made De-

Cossacks and Now an Apology
Is Demanded.

Vladivostok, Sept. 10 tBy the Asso-
ciated Press Major General William
S. Graves commander of the American
forces in Siberia, has demanded an apol-
ogy from General Roseanoff Burozanoff,
in command of Russian troops in Pria-
mur province, for the arrest of Captain
J.. P. Johns of the 9th regiment and
Corporal Benjamin Sperling of the 3lst
and the flogging of the latter by Cos
sacks commanded by General kalmikotf.
An savestigation of the conduct OF a
Japanese officer at Imam, the place where
the arrests took place, has also been be-
gun by the japanese high command. The
incident, which occurred Sept, ., is con
sidered one of the most serious since the
allies landed in Siberia.
The two Americans, in uniform and
on official business, went to Imam, ITO
miles north of this city, on the section
of the railroad guarded by Chinese
troops, passports being unnecessary by
agreement between the allies. While
they were at hotel detachment OF
Cossacks entered and arrested the Amer
leans, claiming they were not provided
with Identification papers. Captain
Johns escaped and, catching moving
train, went to Spasske, where he report
ed to the American officer in command
A detachment of $50 Americans from the
9th regiment at once entrained and
went to Imam to effect Sperling's release
and on arriving there took three Cos
sacks as hostages.
They found General Kalmikof's men

preparing to use force against them
when a Japanese major interceded for
the Cossacks, stating, it is alleged, that
in the event of hostilities between the
Americans and the Cossacks the Jap

the latter 1t was learned Sperling had
been taken to khaborovsk, where Gen
eral Kalmikof has his headquarters. A
telegraphic demand for Sperling was sent
to Khaborovsk and reply was received
that he would be released at once. The
Americans then returned to Spasske, tax.
ing their hostages with them.
A preliminary investigation of the in.
cident shows, it is said that Sperling
was flogged, a punishment that is usually
meted out to recalcitrant Cossack
General Kalmikoff, who is considered by
Americans here as siberian Villa,
has, with his band been a constant
source Of trouble, it is charged, his raids
being marked by cruelties and atrocities.
He was recently appointed military com
mander of the Khaborovsk district by
General Roseanoff and it is alleged this
has brought about an increase in his
activities,
