WOOD IS ALARMED
At PERSH|NG BOOM
Hastens to Nebraska After Hav-
ing Given Up Fight to Win
That State.

Political Washington today was in
.terested in another change in the
plans OF Gen. Leonard Woods cam
paign. which was revealed by Woods
sudden entry into Nebraska after APP
parently having given up the night
there.
On all sides IL was looked upon as
a move born OF necessity TO save the
Wood cause after his disastrous rout
in Illinois, where he attempted to
take the state vote away from Gov.
ernor Lowden. Following the Illinois
defeat, General Wood changed his de-
cision TO go back to his post in the
central department.
At the Capitol II was said that the
loss of Nebraska would put Wood out
of the running. and his advisers, evil
IDENTIFY nonplussed at the reports that
Pershing is certain to carry Nebrss-
ks. with Johnson second, have deter
mined that Wood shall go to Nebrss-
ka, and by his presence there attempt
to turn the tide.
Generally. II was held by keen OBJ
servers that Woods trip TO Nebraska
at this time will be taken there as an
admission OF weakness and hurt
rather than aid him in the vote Tues
day.
Nebraska was the big topic in all
circles here today. Hiram Johnson
has just finished a tour OF the State,
at which he drew good crowds. Cen
eral Pershing has made a dignihed
statement that he would take the Re-
publican nomination IL Nebraska gave
him it's vote and the convention called
him; and row Wood Is on his way
there, without the special train, which
injured his cause with the Illinois and
Michigan voters.

The activities of Japanese troops

Clashes between japanese troops

them being Czechs, along the line OF
communication by rail from the Bal

made clear.
The State Department has been in
formed that two new Japanese divis-
ions will be dispatched to Asia al.

Tokyo explained that these divisions
are TO relieve tired divisions now in
Siberia. This is taken to indicate
that, instead OF Withdrawing from

quarters the opinion was hszarded
that "the Monroe Doctrine of the

pal role. may have something to do

The United States has recognized
that Japan has special interests In
