fAllies in northern Russia forgetting

OF these causes. the editor says, the
last formed the most important and
basic factor Of the defeat of the ST.
,DeTldn, army. OnucT THESE CtFCum-
stances he said it was only natural
that a great political change would
occur in Siberia. granting that the
%unifcation of the whole Russia is to
be abandoned as a matter of impos-
sibility.
Mr.. Zumoto continues:
II think the coming . political
change in Siberia will appear in the
shape of the formation of a pure. au-
,tonomic government excluding Ad-
miral Kolchak, a government re-
specting peoples will and freedom.
which is SUR to be welcomed by the
Siberian people craving for the indie
pendence and autonomy. Meanwhile
an opposition must be anticipated
from the bureaucratic and military
! government. But should the powers
particularly Japan, support such a
! government. it's formation will be
easily effected. In the event Of the
appearance of such a government in
Siberia. Japan should take the lead
to. give it sincere support and Dos
sible assistance, which will eventually
result in the restoration of peace and
order in Siberia. Japan will then be
able to withdraw her troops and be
saved from the betrayal of Immense
expenditure for the maintenance of
her troops and irreparab1e loss of her
brave soldiers for no good account.
What is most important in such an
eventuality is that no powers shall
interfere in the coming political
change in Siberia. 1t would be most
inadvisable for the powers to attempt
ITO interfere in Siberian affairs or to
run counter to the natural course Of

Cunard Co. Building
New Ships to Fight
For u. S. Business

London.-To compete with the
United States shipping trade the
Cunard company has embarked on
a large program, involving tonnage
of more than 100000.
Half a dozen vessels, averaging
10000 gross tonnage, are now be.
ing built" said representative OF
the Cunard line today. "All of these
vessels will be equipped for oil fuel
as we'll as coal.
1--WE are providing for both in
case there should be any difficulty
in getting the requisite quantity of
oil. The advantages of oil are well
known, but it is not commonly
known what a great amount OF the
fuel is required to supply the motive
power of a modern liner.
ITO fuel one of our new liners
for a single trip across the Atlantic
no less than $4,000 gallons of oil will
be necessary. The storage tanks, of
course, will be useless when the boat
is burning coal, except for water
ballast. Some idea of the space oc-
cupied can be CLEANED from the fact
that a liner of 10000 tons which
America has under construction for
oil fuel will be unable to carry any
cargo.
With regard to the oil fuel, II is
interesting to note that the ships
built in America during the war and
loaned by the shipping board to us
had to be converted from oil to coal
burning boats upon arrival at this
side of the Atlantic, owing to the
shortage of oil"
