GRAVES TELLS WHY
IAPS GOT NO AID

| NEW YORK. April 16.-Gen. W. 8
Graves. commanding the American
expeditionAry force in Siberia, says
in official reports to the War Depart
m9nt, according to a copyright Wash
ington dispatch to the New York
/ Times, that the reason why American
! troops were not permitted to go to the
| assistance of the Japanese detacu-
ment which was cut up in an engage
ment With Russians at Habarovsk, in
Siberia, on February 25, was because
the japanese had shot down women
and children and also that he did noC
recognize the Russians against whom
the Japanese were sent in this fiRu.
as the real enemy.
When from a trustworthy quarter
last night the New York Times cor
respondent learned that the War De-
partment had received this informa-
tion. he sought confirmation from
Gen. Peyton c. March. Through mis-
secretary the general answered that
the chief Of stan has nothing to say
on the matter at present"
Another high official was then ap-
preached, who confirmed the fact that
such information had been received
from General Graves.
All reports dealng with the matter
are being assembled in the War De-
partment, and there is ground for the
statement that they will be turned
over to the State Department for con-
sideration.
On account OF the Importance of
the matter and its possible bearing on
relations with the Japanese govern
ment, the War Department has re-
Trained from giving out General
Graves report, despite the fact that
the Japanese press has been making
capital in Tokyo out Of the allega-
ton that the American forces were
permitted by General Graves and
other officers OF the American expe-
dition to stand by while a Japanese
military contingent was being wiped
out OF existence.
Only the japanese side Of the az
fair has been told. The nearest ap-
proach to the Americap version was
obtained from an official of the State
Department several weeks ago. who.
when asked why the American forces
had not gone TO the rescue, answered
that they were sent into Siberia pri.
marfIy TO protect the ammunition at
Vladivostok. and to render such aid
as might be needed by the Czech
Slovak forces, and that Graves in
structions did not permit him 10 usp
the troops in any Intervention be-
tween Russian factions.

ct knife, and perhaps ourselves meet ing up close with like fate, and so there were things we wished to for get. The prospector does not err alone, for even you who live in towns and cities and boast of your culture and refinement, of your beautiful and comfortable churches, commit darker deeds against humanity under cover of the night, than the old prospector who comes to town and "whoops her up" in broad daylight and takes the whole wide world into his confidence while he is doing it.
 And in your schools insist that re- spect to the old prospector and burro be taught to the new generation, for we are passing away swiftly, and who will take our places and go out in the jungles and lay the foundations of flu ture cities?' There are yet to be made rich mineral discoveries, but alas, the young man of today dos not possess the nerve to get further away than one thousand yards from the modern dance hall or motion picture theatre and it might interfere with his dream as being the proud possessor of tin lizzie on the installment plan, or cruel cactus might tear holes in his beautiful silk socks, or he might take on tan which no face cream could possibly remove.
 Let there be rected in the plazas of all mining towns, and at future mining expositions, a group statue sculptured by a master hand from the purest and finest Italian marble, rep resenting an old prospector and burro, the pick and shovel and pan, and around the neck of the patient, gentle burro let there be placed wreath of plaited baling wire, and in all future special editions of news papers devote to the mining industry, let there be displayed on the front page a cut representative of we three, the prospector, the burro and the bailing wire.

years of conflict to preserve her own
liberty and that of the world, ac-
cording to Andre Tardie, French
high commissioner to the United
States, has lost 100000 men killed

lives in this country and through
out the world through the discovery
by French peasants. of a perfect
remedy for stomach, liver and in
testinal ailments which, it is said,
has relieved incalculable suffering
and prevented thousands of surgical
