viii! furnish the new armies is very
serious question. There is certainly no
enthusiasm in Great Britain for en-
barking on more military expeditions
and shedding more British blood.
All of Great Britain's new volunteer
army has been absorbed in making up
forces of occupation in the near East
Drafted soldiers are still in the service
and their relatives are agitating for
their return from India, Egypt and
Mesopotamia. At the same time more
than 10000 troops are engaged as an
army. OF occupation in Ireland. The
withdrawal of the British expedition
from Archangel has just been finished.
under pressure of the strongest public
feeling.
Latest news received by the govern
ment is described as confirming the
view that Germany is deliberately
scheming to secure a controlling posi-
ton in Russia, and that she probably
contemplates the occupation of Petro-
grad. There are more than 100000
German soldiers with headquarters at
Mitau. The Baltic states, with the ex-
ception of Finland, appear to have
agreed upon a policy of arranging an
armistice with the Bolshevik govern
ment, but declining peace terms on the
ground that the Soviet government is
too unstable to arrange q permanent
peace. Altogether, the Baltic situation
is recognized as presenting acutely
dangerous possibilities.

that Japanese troops had failed to
cooperate with the railroad engi-
neers in conducting the railroad in
the interests of the Russian people
by permitting the transportation of
food supplies necessary to the Rus
slams. 1t was said to have frankly
pointed out that unless effective CO.
operation could be arranged the
United States might feel obliged to
withdraw its troops from Siberia al
together. The note also was said in

the whole question Of American and
Japanese cooperation, the American
