SIBERIAN CAMPAIGN is
SERIOUS PROPOSITION

EN- ROUTE TO OMSK, Siberia,
Feb. 17-People have talked night
ly of sending an army of half a
million or more to western Siberia to
battle with bolshevism or for any
other reason connected with this
stupendous Russian problem. The
Japanese learned by bitter expe-
rience in the war with Russia of the
difficulties of a Siberian campaign
and would ponder long before dis
patching a mighty army to the far
Ural mountains. The correspondent,
as a passenger on a special British
military train bound for Omsk, the
seat of the all-Russian government
is having close opportunity to
study the difficulties of transporting
a great army.
We have on board company of
splendid British troops recently ar
rived from India-men of the fa-
NOUS Hampshire regiment-the terri
torials of militia Of England who
Offered to go to India to replace the
regulars and who served there for
two years. Now the fortunes of war
find them riding across the barren
lands of Manchuria on their way to
the heart of the Siberian steppes,
where the temeprature is 40 degrees
below zero Anxious as they are to
return to their homes in England
they fulfill this new task gladly and
light-heartedly. They are travelling
in plain, rude box cars, grouped about
stoves with all the discomforts that
a journey of two or three weeks, and
perhaps more, involves.
For the officers commanding the
contingent there is a third class Rus
sian sleeping car with bare wooden
shelves to hold their sleeping bags
and blankets. In another British
military train which precedes us
there is no sleeping car and the Of
ficers are camping with their men
in the box cars. We are fortunate
in one respect Lack of Russian
equipment and facilities for cooking
obligo the officers to eat the same
rations as the men which, if plain,
is wholesome and nourishing.
Transportation Difficulties
Lack of railroad cars is the most |
striking feature of life in Siberia to-
day. There is deplorable disorgani- !

zation. There is urgent need of cen
trail management and people who
have the welfare of Siberia at heart
earnestly hoep that John f. Stevens,
the American railroad expert, who is
now here, will be given a chance to
bring order fran chaos.
1t was picturesque spectacle as
the train stopped at stations on the
way from Vladivostok to Harbin
Tall Russians, Chinese and Koreans
in bulky, tattered, filthy garments
swarmed around the train offering
notwithstanding eatables for sale
Hungry, long-haired dogs, wolfish in
appearance, prowled about the cars,
swapping and growing, gulping
down anything that will stay death.
In a band in lonely area they
would be formidable to any man.
The weather was keen and cold, the
wind biting Long delays occurred
at almost a every station. Many
freight carsowere seen, but few in
movement. Disorganization reigned
master.
The two lessons taught early in
the journey were, first, the great
material obstacles to be encountered
in sending big army into Siberia
and the imperative need of central
management Of the Siberian rail
roads. The comfort and perhaps the
lives of the people of Russia depend
upon prompt central control of
the railroads.

Beck Admits Taking
Navy Graft; Offers to
Make Full Expose
Ensign's Attorney, in Plea
for Leniency, Says Client
Will Tell of Others GETTING
Money for Soft Job Grants

Ensign Paul Beck. Of the Naval Re-
serves, who has been on trial at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard on charges of
"scandalous conduct tending to the de-
struction of good morale" pleaded guilty
yesterday to fifteen specifications charg-
ing him with accepting bribes and favors
for getting men into the navy. George
Gordon Battle, his counsel, pleaded for
leniency for Beck. He said Beck was
willing to furnish any information to
the judge advocate as to others involved.
Julius Pepper, of 200 West Eighty
sixth Street, VINO was involved by some
witnesses, admitted yesterday that he
had testified falsely when he denied
Joseph Price, a real estate dealer. had
given him money to get his son into the
navy. Pepper occupied with Beck law
office at POI Broadway, which was used
as a place for meeting "cients." Yes
terday he changed his testimony to saw
he had accepted money from Price for
Beck, and that Beck afterward give it
to him.
Beck, who is 81 years old, entered
the navy in December, 1917, as first
class yeoman and was assigned as a
cost inspector. He was transferred
to Pelham Bay and later to the navy
yard. In April, 1918, he went again
to Pelham Bay and then to Princeton.
where he received commission as
ensign.
Lieutenant Leonard j. Mattison,
counsel for the judge advocate,
opposed the plea for 1eniency. The
court will send it's findings to the navy
authorities at Washington before they
are made public
Chief Boatswain L. C. Casey, it be-
came known yesterday. is also await
ing sentence from Washington. At a
secret trial two weeks ago he pleaded
guilty to accepting $500 a month for
six months for keeping three men on
easy shore duty and giving them spc
cial privileges. Among these privileges
were permission to GO home every
night. One Of the men was given
thirty days furlough soon after re-
porting for duty.
Casey was arrested at the Hotel
Hermitage after accepting a payment.
The payments were made by Irwin,
Philip, and Sidney Hymes, sons of
Samuel Hymes, cotton goods manu-
facturer living at sol West End

Ways and Means Committee
Hears Arguments for In
creasing of Duties TO
Protect Potash Industry
Import Licenses Urged
Labor and Capital Menaced
by Foreign Competition,
Says Producers Attorney
Neac York. Tribune
WASHINGTON Batrea8

WASHINGTON, June 1o.-The House
Ways and Means Committee, for the
first time in ten years, to-day opened
formal hearings looking to an upward
revision of the tariff.
Chairman Fordney plans to have the
committee sit continuously until all
the schedules of the Underwood tariff
bill have been revised. From time to
time the committee will report special
measures for the protection of the dye
stuff, chemical, potash, china and
glassware industries. These measures
later will be included in bill revis-
ing the entire tariff structure and
doubling the revenues obtained there
from.
The last hearings by the Ways and
Means Committee to provide the basis
for an upward tariff revision were
held when the Paine-Aldrich tariff law
was under consideration in 1909.
The hearings to-day were upon pro-
posals for increasing tariff duties for
the protection of the potash industry,
in which, it is estimated, more than
$4,000, 900 was invested during the
war. The revision Of potash duties
will be reported as special legislation
and probably will be passed by both
houses before the end of June.
Need of Protection Urged
George Otis Smith, director Of the
Geological Survey, and DR.. A. G.
White, of the Bureau of Mines, told
the committee that while high tariff
on potash was essential, it would not
give sufficient protection to the new
American industry. 1t would be neces-
sary, they said, to supplement tariff
legislation with provisions for rigid
licensing of imports of foreign potash,
to be sold at prices to be fixed by the
Interior Department.
Given protection from ruinous for
eisn competition for period of five
years, the American potash industry
would be able to supply all domestic
requirements and to compete in ex-
portation to other countries, NJ. NJ.
Parker. attorney for the United States
Potash Producers Association, told the
committee.
Unless Congress comes to the relief
If the industry, the producers will
face financial ruin from the loss of

heavy investments made during the
war, MI Parker said.
Germany employed thousands Of
civilians and hundreds Of prisoners
during the war in the production Of
potash, with the idea Of dumping it on
the United States when peace was re-
stored" Mr. Parker added, "To per-
nit her to carry out this plan would
kill the industry in the United States"
German Potash Barred
Mr.. Parker said Herbert Hoover had
entered into an agreement with Ger
man syndicate at Brussels, in March,
whereby German potash was to be
shipped to the United States in pay
ment for food supplies,
Protests by Senators and American
producers prevented the shipment Of
any German potash to this country, he
said.
Mr.. Parker pointed out that in re-
sponso to the governments appeal for
the production Of potash to help win
the war American capital to the ex-
tent Of s50,0o0,00o had been invested
in the industry. Many more millions
were invested, ho said, by labor, In
homes. The value Of all this invest
ment, he added, depends solely on the
preservation Of the American potash
industry.
Import licenses already have been
issued, Mr.. Parker said, for 10000 tons
of potash from Alsace, which will be-
gin reaching this country the latter
part of this month and continue dur
ing July, August and September.
Capital and Labor Menaced
This condition, with the further
probability Of German potash being
permitted to come in later, constitutes
serious menace unless Congress acts
without delay to provide protection,
Mr. Parker asserted
thousands must become idle and
millions in capital invested be lost un-
less conditions are remedied," he
stated
Failure of Congress to grant the
needed relief would be can act of per
fdy and a body blow to American
labor" Mr.. Parker said.

Yet they all operate as

Buy at whichever of our
four stores is most conven-

as well as identically the

The only rivalry is as to

In letter to Senator Charles C.
Lockwood, chairman Of the joint legis-

Mr.. Untermyer characterized Mondays
session Of the committee as "super-

him Saturday afternoon. He wrote
that he was asked to submit in writ

most useless and ineffective procedure
imaginable If the purpose be to ex

He declared, in his letter, that he
