COL. DONOVAN ACCUSES
 RUSSIAN FLOGGER OF
 BEING JAPANESE AGENT
JAPAN TRYING
 TO GOBBLE EAST United States Should Act With Firm Hand To
 Save Situation.

New York, Oct. 4-The Cossack General Kalmikoff, whose troops fogged an American soldier in Siberia recently, is 'in the pay of Japan" according to a statement of Colonel William J. Donovan, former com mander of the 165th infantry, pub lished by the New York Herald to- day.
 Colonel Donovan, who recently re- turned from a trip through Japan, China, Korea and Siberia, stopped off here for few hours on his way to his home in Buffalo, after confer ences with State and War Depart ment officials in Washington. Colonel Donovan made it clear, however, that he had not made his trip to the Far East as a government emissary.
 ''The United States should keep her eve on Japan" Colonel Donovan de- cIared. "Under these circumstances she should recall the forces she now has in Siberia. Japan is receiving all kinds of concessions from the Cos sack generals, and one of the out standing figures of this group is Gen. eral Kalmikoff who is credited with having ordered that Benjamin Sper- ling, the American soldier be logged" :"
 Asserting that in his two months stay in Siberia he had ''seen things that made me open my eyes, Colonel Donovan continued:
 "It is generally known that Gen erals Kalmikoff and Semenof are the agents of Japan. It is known that they are not only in the pay of Japan but have received arms and assist ance from Japan. Japan has three divisions of 12,000 men each in S1- beria Her evident game is to erect an economic and military barrier in north Manchuria and Siberia which will entirely blockade the corridor leading into European Russia.
 Japan is changing from an agri- cultural to an industrial nation, and in Siberia and China she finds the natural resources and raw materials which she must have"
 Colonel Donovan said that he had spent considerable time with Admiral KoIchak, head of the Omsk govern ment, and had found him "a real patriot, thoroughly honest in his in- tentfons' and without personal am- bition. Kolchak, he said, enjoyed a ''kind of loyal allegiance" from Gen. eral Kalmikoff. but had not enough strength to control him.
 Colonel Donovan declared he did not believe there was a likelihood of war between the United States and Japan because the idea of the milttarists Of Japan that we were a nation of soft money makers has been dispelled by what we have done in the European war" He asserted that if the United States acted with a firm hand "an open door in the east' could be as- sured.

HAD GOOD NIGHTS REST AND CONDITION
 MORE FAVORABLE
Wilson's Pulse Is Nor nal and He is Said To Be Restless At Being Confined to Bed Specialists Will See President Today.

Washington, Oct. 4.---President Will sons condition was more favorable early today, the president having had a, good nights rest, said a bulletin is sued at 1O:30 o'clock this morning by Dr. Grayson.
 The bulletin follows:
 White House, Oct. 4, 10:5O a. m.--- The president had a good nights rest and his condition is more favorable.
 (Signed) "GRAYSON."
 Two specialists who have examin- ed the President before were sum- moned to Washington today. They were Dr. F. x. Dercum, neurologist and Dr. George DeSchweintis, an eye specialist, both of Philadelphia. They were to have a consultation with Dr. Grayson and Drs. Stitt and Ruf1in of this city, who have been assisting the Presidents physician.
 President Wilson had a somewhat better night last night, White House officials said this morning. Dr. F. K. Dercum, the noted neurologist of Philadelphia, who was called into consultation Thursday is expected at the White House today and will again see the President.
 The Presidents temperature and pulse are normal and the President is said to be cheerful though becom- ing somewhat restless about being confined to his bed.
 Special prominence is given by all Paris newspapers here to Washington despatches relative to the illness of President Wilson, and editorial con- ments reflect the concern felt in Paris over his condition.
 The Echo de Paris says that the Presidents illness means the Amerf- can senate will be left to itself, which, perhaps, is a good thing, as the opposition, losing a counter party, loses, if not some force, at least some of H-in1
