JAPS WANT PEACE
Reach Agreement With Soviet
Russian Government.
Twenty Thousand Troops to
Withdraw From VladiyostOk.
NEUTRAL ZONE To Be CREATED
Danger of Clashes Between
Armies To Be Ayerted.
Ii Plan Works Many More Japs
Will Withdraw.

Washington, May 11-Japan has
begun to make peace with the Bolshe-
wiki of Siberia, it was learned today.
An agreement which probably will
lead to withdrawal of about twenty
thousand Japanese troops from the re-
gion of Vladivostok and pave the way
for evacuation of all the Japanese
forces in Siberia, has been concluded
between Japanese and soviet authori-
ties at Vladivostok, confidential ad-
vices to the Japanese embassy here to-
day stated.
The agreement is aimed expressly
at preventing conflicts between the
japanese and the Russians and is in
tended to allow evacuation of Japan
ese forces from the city and region of
Vladivostok, it was stated at the en-
bassy.
Create Neutral Zone.
By the agreement, a neutral zone is
created between the forces, thirty kilo-
meters on each side of the Ussuri
railroad from Vladivostok to kha-
barovsk.
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 OF, in command of the
Japanese troops in Siberia.
If this agreement works satisfac-
torily the large force of japanese
troops undoubtedly will be with
drawn. it was declared at the en-
bassy. Latest military intelligence re-
ports to Washington estimate the
number of japanese troops in Vlad-
ivostok and it's vicinity and north
along the Ussuri railroad to Kha-
barOVsk at 10000.
