officers, it was willing and eager to
go: If there was a shortage of ambu-
lances, it was pressed into service to
carry wounded men to the dressing
stations behind the lines. No one
can say how many drivers it has had.
but their name is legion. Where roads
there were none it made its own, ask
ling no favor, and yet 1t came out Of
ite fiery baptism unscratched, with
thousands of miles to its credit and
many thousands more in its pentup
sinews of steel.

Toxic, Jan. 29.-The Japanese an
swer to the note of the United States
government concerning the recent kill
Ing Of Lieut.. Warren II. Langdon In
VladivOstOk has been forwarded to
Washington.
According to information available
here, the reply does not discuss the
question Of Japanese occupation Of
Siberia. 1t relterates the regret of the
government over the shooting Of Lieu
tenant LangdOn, which has already
been voiced by Its official representa-
tives In VladivOstOk and Washington,
and calls attention to the measures
already adopted to prevent the recur-
renee OF such an unfortunate incident.
The communication emphasizes the
completeness and impartiality Of the
investigation into the shooting now In
progress, which 1t says will be fol-
lowed by such reparatiOn rs the cir.
cumstances call for.
Although the shooting Of Lieutenant
Langdon was an Outgrowth OF the
presence of japanese troops In vladi
vostok, the Japanese apparently think
1t should be treated as separate and
distinct question, not connected with
Japan's policy with regard to Russia.
The authorities denied the state.
ment published by the Asahi Shimbun
10 the effect that the police had de-
cided to show greater surveillance
over American visitors, who, the news
paper asserted. were "buslly engaged
In investigating Industrial and military
conditions"
American visitors, the authorities
declared, were welcome In Japan and
would not be mOlested.
washington.-The reply OF Japan to
the American governments Langdon
note, announced In n Toxic dispatch
as having been forwarded to Wash
ington, Is regarded by officials here as
a new communication and not the
brief reply received by the State De-
partment through the Japanese EN-.
bassy.
The United States In Its note con-
cerning the killing ut vladlvOstok Of
Lieut.. w. II. Langdon, American nav.
al officer. by japanese sentry. did
not bring up the question Of Japanese
occupation OF Siberia. II has been
learned. The views Of the American
government on that question. however.
have been put forward In previous com.
munlcations.
