New York, April Japan will not
Withdraw her troops from Eastern Siberia
at once because of her peculiar gcographi-
cal position and dangers which threaten
her subjects in Manchuria and Korea,
says Toxic dispatch filed March 81 re-
ceived here today
The dispatch which quotes m official
statement relative TO the recall Of Japss
nese forces from Russian territory, was
delayed in transit and tends To explain
the occupation Of VIsdivostok by Japa-
nese soldiers on April 5.
Since the Czecho-Slovak troops are
entirely withdrawn from Siberia said
the statement, "it is only natural that
japan should proceed to recall her forces
in accordance with the declaration issued
at the time her expedition was dispatched
But since Japans geographical position
differs from That of the other powers CON
cerned, and the political situation in Fast
ern Siberia has grave bearing ON the
situation in Manchuria, threatening the
lives and property Of Japanese subjects
and freedom Of communications, the
Imperial government is unable to with
draw its troops until dangers threatening
Manchuria and Korea have been reg
moved.

But she did stammer out
"It,s this dress and the magic
night " And impulsively she flung out
lovely bare arms to the soft darkness
outside, the smell or lilac, the silent
star-gemmed sky, and life as youth
views it, all yelled with rosy dreams.
His fingers closed around the SOFT
ness of her arm. and then quite sud
