force in Siberia was as follows:
Why Troops Were Sent

'The decision to send a small ex-
peditionary force to Vladvostok,
which was announced in August, 1918
was arrived at after careful con-
sideration of the entire situation by
the Representatives of the allied and
associated powers. The plans and
purposes of the United States in TAX
ing this action were made public at
the time. They contemplated that
this force should be utilized to rem
der such protection and help as was
possible to the Czecho-Slovaks again
st the armed Austrian and German
prisoners who were attacking them,
to safeguard as far as it might the
country to the rear of the westward
moving Czecho-Slovaks, and to guard
military stores which might later be
needed by Russian troops, against
capture or against destruction by
German agents. In addition to these
functions, which were essentially of
military Importance, it was the pur-
pose of this force to protect, and to
assist in forwarding large quantities
of supplies which the Russian author
tiles in this country had succeeded in
shipping to Siberia. The resources of
that country had been almost ex-
ilduSCeu ny CHe CudOClC COHulIlOIS ex-
listing there; the inhabitants, includ-
ing the women and children, had
practically no shoes or warm cloth
ing, and had little food; there was
great need Of agricultural imple-
ments and of many of the articles of
commerce which are essential to
fruitful industry.
SIN order to do this, it was neces-
sary to keep open, and to assist in
the operation of the Siberian rail
road, which was not only the main
artery of transportation in Siberia,
but was the only access open to
European Russia. Partisan bands,
having no government, under transi-
tory authority, were constantly men
acing the operation of the railway
and the safety of its permanent
structures.
"Our troops have been withdrawn
from Siberia with the exception of
very few men remaining to settle
claims and make final adjustments"

vey, brigadier general, staff, assist
ant, chief of staff, director of opera
