Asking Explanation.
(5y Associated Press.l

Toxic, Aug. 3.-There is no indica-
tion that Japan will refrain from car
rying out military arrangements she
has made in dealing with the problems
arising out of conditions in Siberia.
The government some time ago out
lined to the world powers its policy re-
garding Siberia, and in it's forthcoming
note to Washington viii amplify state
ments it has sent to European capitals.
This note, it is understood here, will
point out the purely temporary charac-
ter of the occupation by Japanese
troops of points in the Saghalien dis
trict.
Japanese officials have been careful
to explain to foreign newspaper corre-
spondents here that the United States
was within her rights in asking Ja-
pan to define her policy regarding ST.
IBERIA, as the two nations sent troops
to Siberia under an arrangement made
at the suggestion of the Washington

new ALLIANCE
TERMS KNOWN
France and Belgium Are Agreed
On Joint Military Defensive
For Term of Years.
fRx Associated Press.l

Washington, ug. General terms
of the defensive military alliance be-
tween France and Belgium as drawn
up by Marshal Foch of the French
army and the Belgian chief of staff,
were received here today in official
circles.
Military support of France by Bel
gium in future armed conflicts is
pledged upon condition that France
prove not to have been the aggressor.
Belgium also reserved the right to re-
main neutral in all disputes between
the interests of France and other ma
tions in Frances colonial possessions.
Details as to Frances pledges to Bel
gium have not yet been received.
The alliance is to endure for a per-
iod of from five to fifteen years. It
is understood that before official pro-
mitigation, the terms will be submit
ted to the League of Nations for ap-
proyal, following similar action by the
British and japanese governments in
advising the League that future drafts
of the Anglo Japanese alliance would
be submitted to the league in order
to bring its provisions in conformity
with the aims of the league. The
general lines of the agreement We're
drawn up in June at the time of the
visit of the Belgian chief of staff to
Paris to consult with Marshal Foch
Attempts of Belgium to induce
Great Britain to join with France in
the defensive alliance, the official ad-
vices stated, have so far been in vain.
The last visit of King Albert to Lon
don was said to have been in the in
terest of influencing a favorable de-
cision by Great Britain. The unre-
sponsiveness of the British govern
ment was attributed to disapproyaI Of
the precipitateness OF Belgium in ex-
tending with France the occupation
OF Germany in April without first
having obtained the sanction Of the
supreme council.
