YANKEE SOLDIERS
VITAL IN SIBERIA
PRESIDENT WILSON REPLIES TO
RESOLUTION OF CALfFoR-
MA SENATOR
KEEPING THE RAILROAD OPEN
General in Command Of Troops Has
Been Specifically Directed Not to
Interfere in Russian Affairs
Rowing Bands Are Menace

Washington, July &c. - President
Wilson informed the senate yesterday
in response to resolution by Senator
johnson, Republican, California, that
the presence of American troops in 81
IBERIA was vital element in the
restoration and maintenance of traffic
on the Siberian railroad and under
the agreement with Japan they could
be withdrawn only when the American
railway experts operating the road
were Withdrawn.
The president said Siberia could be
protected from a further period of
chaos and anarchy only by keeping
the railroad open and that lacking
essentials of life the people there were
looking to the United States and the
allies for economic assistance. This
is being extended and additional sup
plies are TO be sent forward.
Rowing bands having no connection
with any organized government in Rus
STA are menacing the railroad. the
president said, and consequently its
protection by the military is neces-
sarv. American troops, he said, now
are e0SdSeu III SudIu uuts al Nioui
yostok and around Verchne Udinsk. A
small body also is at Hardin.
The original purposes of the Amer
lean military expedition. Mr. Wilson
wrote, were two-fold: The saving of
the Czecho-Slovak. forces, and the
steadying of the efforts of the Rus
slams at self-defense or the establish
ment of law and order in which they
might be willing to accept assistance.
Major General Graves. commanding
the expedition of 5000 men, was spe-
officially directed not to interfere in
Russian affairs, the president said,
but to support wherever necessary
John H. Stevens, American railway
engineer, who Is carrying out the work
of rehabilitating the Siberian railroad
under the direction of the fnter-allied
committee.

gressional mail
In the big cities where the mail is
delivered from house to house by car
riers the dweller is given by the de-
partment to understand that more eff
cient service can be rendered by fewer
carriers. Two or three deliveries a day
will require less shoe leather than four
Perhaps the busy man should not be
annoyed with so much mail service.
The same logic is said by num-
erous correspondents to apply to the
farmer, the newspaper and the peri
odical. Rural free delivery routes
have been reorganized, reconstructed,
relocated, redistricted and revamped
in style to stifie efficient service.
The conclusion has become general
that the department is run for the de-
partment and not for the public.
Hence the louder volume of Congress

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1919-07-10

There has been much speculation
since the war why the government in
yariably seems to do everything ineffi-
GENTLY. Part of the reason may be
found in these three maxims for sue
cess that became current among cyni-
cal men in government service in the
last two years:
!. Pass the buck.
2. Spread the bull.
3. Remember, your pay goes on just
the same.
In big organization that isn't driv-
en- by necessity for making a living,
the man who sits tight, does his work
in routine way and makes no dis
turbing innovations is particularly ia
vored. His chances are correspond
ingly increased if he becomes an
adept at lodging responsibility for
anything that goes wrong, and at
SPREADING reassuring, even though
misleading information about the
state of his department.
The fundamental trouble is the
knowledge permeating the govern
ment organization that Uncle Sans
pocketbook will make good any and
all losses.
Private business is often ineffici-
emily handled. But there is always
the spur of the need of making liv-
ing. 1t is root, hog. or die. Unless
the management is always on the
alert to introduce better methods and
to improve the products or the way it
is handled. the concern goes to the
wall and everybodys pay stops.
The struggle for survival in gen.
eral keeps the organization keyed up.
So far no incentive has been found to
take the place of the primitive lure
of profit.
