Uncle Sam in the Word War and

participation in the fighting. His

obliged to take long hikes and he
found walking a most enjoyable ex-

the best exercises for keeping fit.

What Is Going On In Siberia !?

What Is Going On In Siberia?
What do we care about Siberia?
We have troubles enough Of our own
right here.
Nevertheless we have to consider
the possibility of new world dis
turbance that may make the recent
one fade out of sight in insignif-
canoe.
Kolchak, the one man, apparently,
who was honest in his attempt TO
save Russia from the Bolshevili, is
utterly defeated. He has fought
against great odds, with poor equip
ment and with none, and without
assistance from the Allies. Japan,
who now tells the world that she had
troops in Siberia expressly to aid
him, failed to make her aid visible
enough to count for his cause; on the
testimony of nearly everybody who
has come from that region, the
Japanese, by not restraining the
Cossack leaders Kalmykoff and
Semenoff, have actually assisted in
the fan Of Kolchak's forces. Semenoff
has been placed in command of the
Siberian situation and has more than
once been suspected Of being cahoots
with the Japanese.
Two years ago, when Japan pro-
posed to the Allies that she be al
lowed to drive the Bolsheviki out of
Siberia, America stepped in and
stopped the plan Our troops who
went to Siberia ostensibly to guard
the railroad and supplies. really
went to keep out the Japanese.
Japan now says she hopes to har-
monize her military policy with that
Of America, but that she does not in
tend that the Bolsheviki shall con-
troll eastern Siberia. She has only
waited her time. Denied possession
Of the richest lands in Asia two years
ago, she is now in a position to take
them without valid opposition from
anybody.
Japan's intention to keep bolshe- :
vism from her borders is one that
; cannot meet with any objection from
fair minded nations. Lenine wholly
in possession of Siberia would be no
more welcome an addition to world
complications than Japan in posses
sion Of the eastern half of it.
The Japanese premier says his
country has no territorial aspirations
in Siberia and will withdraw every
soldier the minute the Red menace is
settled. The ministry is not Japan
however. The japanese armies have
done many things in Siberia that
were not authorized by the govern
ment, as far as can be determined
The people do not always accept the
dictums of their ministers AS in
Shantung, the Siberian promise will
be taken with grain of salt until
something more definite can be pre-
scented.
If the Japanese do not take east
|rn Siberia Lenine will, and then the
load for the introduction of boil
,hevism into China and India will be
@pen. If Japan does take it she will
strengthen her hold over China and
the whole Of Asia and gain vastly
augmented influence in world coun-
ellis. Either way, Siberia has become
the center Of interest in interna
tional affairs and will be watched
very closely for the next few months.
The interrupted Russo-Japanese war
# 1905 shows signs Of recrudescence.
and if it comes to a clash of arms
between Japan and the Bolsheviki,
interesting new international tangles
and alliances will spring up without
number.
