. ARREST OFFICER
Maj. Gen. Graves Demands an
Apology from Slav High
Command.
(Bv The Associated p,ass..

%4adlVostok, fTiday, Sept. 80
Major General William S. Graves
commander of American forces il
Siberia has remanded an apology
from General Rozanoff in command
of Russian troops III Priamur pro
vince for the arrest of Captain l.. P
Johns of the 9th regiment an(
Corporal Benjamin Sperling of the
31st and the flogging of the latter
by Cossacks commanded by Genera
kalmikoff. An investigation Of the
conduct of Japanese officer al
Imam, the place where the arrest
took place has also been begun by
the Japanese high command The
incident which occurred September
3, is considered one of the most SER
lous since the allies landed in Sibe-
ria.
The two Americans, in uniform
and on official business, went to
Imam, town ITO miles north of this
city on the section of the railroad
guarded by Chinese troops, pass
ports being unnecessary by agree
ment between the allies. While they
were at hotel there, detachment
OF Cossacks entered and arrested the
Americans claiming they were not
provided with Identification papers.
Captain Jones managed to escape
and catching moving train went to
Spasske, where he reported to the
American officer in command. A
detachment of $50 Americans from
the 9th regiment at once entrained
and went to Imam to effect Sperl-
lng's release and arriving there took
three Cossacks as hostage.
They found General Kalmikoff's
men entrenched near the station and
were prepared to use force against
them when Japanse major inter-
coded for the Cossacks stating, it is
alleged, that in the event of hostli-
ties between the Americans and Cos
sacks the Japanese troops at Imam
would side with the latter He at
last told the Americans that Sperl-
ing had been taken to Kharborvosk
where he has his headquarters.
A Geographic demand for Sperling
was sent to Khaborovsk and reply
was received that he would be re-
leased at once. The Americans then
returned to Spasske taking their
hostages with them
A preliminary investigation of the
incident shows, it is said, that Sperl-
ing was logged, a punishment that
is usually melted out to a recalcit-
dant Cossack. General Kalmiboff
who is considered by Americans here
as "Siberian Villa" has with his
band been constant source of trou-
BILE, it is charged, his raids being
marked by cruelties and atrocities.
He was recently appointed military
commander of Kharborvosk district
by General Rozanoff. It is alleged
this has brought about an increase
in his activities.

from Germany Minister Won Eek
hardt boasts of his success in winning
Carranza to the side of the Germans
and is quoted as saying:
"The county is still pro- German to-
day and the sympathies for Germany
will not be killed. What advantages
we may derive from the prediction
depend wholly upon our ability to in
culcate into the Mexican people Ger
man culture and upon our keeping up
the reputation we have gained for
capability and trustworthiness
ave must send only capable men
of character, knowledge and energy
to Mexico where they may do honor
to the name of Germany and HAM
burg. Then we will be able not only
to get our old connections back but
also to see them grow and expand"
Won Eckhardt further asserts that
Caranza became wholly pro-German
after the battle of Skagerack, cal
though he did not openly proclaim
the fact"
REWRITING to his movement in
Mexico, Won Eckhardt said:
"When the Americans entered the
war during 1917, the conditions of
the German interests were disadvan-
changed. The publishing
of the so-called Zimmerman note is
deemed to have played a great part
in creating or causing the American
declaration of war. A sharp opposi
ton was inaugurated against the
German minister personally as well
as against Caranza and the Ameri
can representative Fletcher even
went so far as to try to induce Car
rama to hand the German minister !

Senator Fall, republican. New
Mexico, challenged Senator Hitchcock
to name the American member of
the war council, and Mr.. Hitchcock
reply that he would not attempt to do
so brought laughter from republican
senators.
"You have been holding up this
treaty by systematic filibuster, Il
Senator Hitchcock continued. "You
are constantly heckling and attack
ing the president in the administra-
ton of his duties. Senators know
the upheaval in Europe continues and
the terrible problem of Dalmatia;
that Italy is threatened practically
by revolution of her troops.
I'VE ought to act on this treaty.
The Fall amendments have been be-
fore the senate for several days, and
yet they have not been discussd at
all. The leaders are using any
thing to delay while they think
they're getting political issue. l
warn senator's that they may find it
and regret it afterward."
