Czechs for Whom They
Went to Rescue, to

Washington. Dec. 3O.-Japanese troops
now being sent into Siberia are believed
at the state department to be largely
replacement units. 1t was officially an
nounced that no new agreement relating
to increasing the size of the japanese
army in Siberia had been reached. nego-
tiations on this question still being in
progress.
Some of the new forces now going in
from Japan. officials said, probably will
be used to reinforce some OF their troops
strongly engaged by superior bolshevik
forces. 1t is declared however, that
Japan was not undertaking any ag-
gressiye movement.
The Czecho- -Slovak forces. to the aid
of which the joint allied military expe-
dition was dispatched, soon will be ready
to leave for home via Vladivostok. They
will be brought across the Pacific in
American transports. but whether they
will cross the continent through the
United States or Canada remains to be
determined.
Replying to suggestions that, with the
return of the Czechs, it will be possible
to withdraw the American forces from
Siberia. officials said the American rail-
way mission would remain to direct the
operation Of the Trans Siberian rail-
road and that a military guard for the
road will be necessary, for the present,
at least.

MIDDLE TREATY GROUP
IS SHUTTLE IN WEAVING
PROVISOS COMPROMISE

Washington, Dec. 3O.-Peace treaty
compromise talk reached a more formal
stage Tuesday. when Senator McNary
of Oregon, a leader of the mild reser-
yation republicans. discussed various
compromise questions with Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, the acting dem
ocratic leader.
Various members seemed confident a
middle ground could be found that would
insure ratification early in the year.
Modification of the reservations ap-
proved by the senate majority at the
last session. SO that affirmative accept
ance by other powers would not be re-
quired, is understood to have been the
principal subject considered. A new
preamble, which will declare the reser-
vations effective unless other nations OBJ
jected within limited time, is said to
have been outlined, each senator indi-
eating that be might accept it.

Mrs. Brown and Provost had been de-

Shot By Companion.
Several physicians who performed a
post mortem upon the body of the slain

not more than six inches from the head.
The inquest was adjourned until next
Friday. In the meantime officials expect

Merely Told Allies Re-
port of Crown Prince

Washington. Dec 30-Through. Of
ficial information, not heretofore avail
able, it has been learned that last sum-
mer. when an apparently reliable report
came from Holland that the former
German crown prince had escaped from
his island internment at Weringen, the
supreme council precipitately demanded
that former Emperor William be turned
over to the entente powers. The demand
was embodied in note sent to the
Dutch government.
The reply of the Dutch government
was statement that the report Of the
escape Of the ex-crown prince was er-
roneous and that every precaution was
taken to prevent such an issue.
The, official information available to-
day, is that there was no attempt by
the Dutch to answer the demand other
wise, 50 that the probable action Of Tho
Hague authorities In case such demand
is pressed can only be inferred.

the issue was. as now, both national Sc
