BY A. l.. BRADFORD.

United Press Correspondent
Washington, May 11.-Japan has
begun to make peace with the boil
sheviki Of Siberia, it was learned
today.
An agreement which probably
will lead to withdrawal OF about
10000 Japanese troops from the
region of Vladivostok and pave the
way for evacuation of all the Jap
anese forces in Siberia, has been
concluded between Japanese and
soviet authorities at Vladivostok,
confidential alvices to the japanese
embassy here today stated.
The agreement is aimed expressly
at preventing conflicts between the
Japanese and the Russians and is
intended to allow evacuation of jap
anese forces from the city and
region Of Vladivostok. it was
stated at the embassy.
By the agreement a neutral zone
is created between the forces, 80
kilometers on each side OF the
Usuri railroad from Vladivostok to
Khabarovsk.
The Russian soviet police under
the agreement will be responsible
for maintenance of order. The
agreement was reached between
the commander of the Russian
forces at Vladivostok and General
Oi, in command OF the Japanese
troops IN Siberia
If this agreement works satisfac-
torily the large force OF mikadC
troops undoubtedly will be with.
drawn, it was declared at the en-
bassy. Latest military intelligence
reports to Washington estimate the
number OF Japanese troops in
Vladivostok and its vicinity and
north along the Usuri railroad tc
khabarovsk at 10000.

Attempt 10 Prevent Obreg0n From

Ell Paso. Texas, May 11.-Car-

policies" eliminating in his attempt
to prevent Obregon having a fair
campaign for the presidency,

cording to Roberto V. Pesquiera,
financial agent of the revolutionary

The revolution proposes to con-

His statement follows:

Financial Agent Libre Constitu-
zionist Government of MexicoJ
The revolutionary movement
which has swept the Carranza
party from power in the republic
of Mexico within a month means in
the clearest sense that the Mexican
people are no longer disposed to
tolerate imposition of dictational
power by their rulers. The people
will not permit any person or
group of persons to make the cleo
tions instead of the people them
selves. This movement means the
solution of the problems that origi-
mated the revolution in 1910, which
iCarranza's government either could
not or did not want 10 solve.
Obregon Opposes Misnses.
General Obregon, in accepting
the nomination for president by the
Liberal Constituencies party, de-
clared he would not tolerate the CO.
existence of elements that have
taken advantage of power for pur-
poses of corruption, but that the
government would be based upon
absolute morality and honesty
should he come to head it. Bonillas
accepted the candidacy thrust upon
him by CarranZa and the govern
mental ring, forgetting the consti-
tuition and his word of honor
pledged to Obregon in many letters.

Wilson Letter Aids in Lin
ing Up Parties On the
Question.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE,
Especial to The Argus.)

Washington, D. c.. May IL
President Wilson has defiantly an
swered the Democrats of New York
and Rhode Island who failed to 60
on record in their respective con-
ventions in favor OF the treaty of
Versailles and the covenant of the
League of Nations. The president,
moreover, has anticipated the DEM
ocratic national convention by ask
ing the Oregon Democrats to blaze
the way by q declaration in their
platform and by their votes in the
approaching primary. Mr.. Wilson
risks something by putting the is
sue to q test in advance of the con-
vention, but Oregon has shown
itself heretofore so strongly in ia
vor Of the presidents position on
the peace treaty that after all Mr.
Wilson would appear to be rather
certain OF endorsement.
Wants Reservations Condemned.
But it will be noted that the
president asked the Democrats not
merely to support his own position
on the treaty but Ito condemn the
Lodge reservations" Unquestion-
ably the Republican convention at
Chicago will endeavor to do the
very opposite. namely, Ito COM
mend the Lodge reservations" Mr..
Wilson considers that Senator Knox
spoke the truth the other day when
he frankly admitted that reserva-
tions do not Americanize." The
Pennsylvania senator made it cas-
ier for Mr.. Wilson to make a clear
cut issue.
But there is one weakness in Mr..
wilson's course which did not es-
cape comment here today. While
the president rejects the Lodge
reservations, he does not indicate
that program like the Hitchcock
reservations would be accepted.
He leaves the inference that he
still wants the treaty and covenant
to be endorsed without the cross
ing OF IT" or the dOtting of an
81" Notwithstanding the advice and
suggestion of many of his friends,
the president has throughout the
treaty fight permitted that impress
sion to 60 out to the country. Even
when he endorsed the Hitchcock
reservations in the last moments
OF the debate last March. he did
not emphasize the point any too
