bers of the American Red Cross, and
an entire Polish army, composed of
former prisoners. have been captured
by the Bolshevists at Kliuchinskaya, ac-
Cording to telegram received from
Joseph II. Ray, former American con-
sui at Irkutsk.
The dispatch from Mr. Ray was sent
from somewhere beyond Nizhniudinsk
January IA. 1t was somewhat garbled
in transmission. Kliuchinskaya is on
the trans Siberian railroad, 100 miles
west OF Nizhniudinsk
The CZcchs are lighting a rear guard

Bolshevism is ginning in Chita. Ernest
l.. Harris, former American consul at
Omsk, is still in Chita.
The British, japanese and French
missions and many members of the
American Red Cross have arrived in
Harbin.
tKliuchinskaya and Nizhniudinsk
are west of Lakal Baikal. 600 miles
from the region of Nerchneudinsk,
east of Lake Baikal, where American
and Czech troops recently were en-
gagged with General Semenov's anti
Bolshevist forces.
The Poles captured undoubtedly are
prisoners taken by the Russian army
early in the war and sent to Siberia.
There, after the revolution and when
the Czechs gained the ascendancy,
they were armed and impressed into
the anti Bolshevist forces. as was
done also with large numbers of Serb
ians who had been prisoners of the
Russians.

ambassadors Council Prepares
for Reply to Refusal to
Surrender William
HOLDS INITIAL MEETING
BY the Associated Press

Paris, Jan. 2G.-Thc reply TO the
refusal of the Dutch Go.ernsnc@t to
comply with the demand of tie Allies
for the surrender of former Emperor
I William was the first subject discussed
today at the initial meeting of the
council of ambassadors, created 10 carry
on the unfinished routine work of the
Supreme Council of the Peace Confer
ence which diSbanded last week.
1t was decided that the French legal
experts available shoulG 60 into all as
poets of the case and prepare the re-
ply, which probably will be submitted
for approval of the council early next
week.
The discussion in the council did not
disclose the trend of opinion among the
members further than that it appeared
to be the view that the legal phase OF
the question had become the chief one.
n Tie council was presided over by
Premier Millerand. Hugh c. Wallace,
the American ambassador, was present
with the other members os the body.
& After dispOSing for the Gay of the eX-
tradition question the council decided
ito give the representatives of the Jugo-
Slavs four days additional time to re-
ply regarding the proposed compromise
on the Adriatic question, including the
disposition of Fiume. This carries the
question along until Wednesday.
The council received letter from
Stanislas Patek, Polish minister of for =
eign affairs. calling attention to the
possibility of Il strong aggressive move
ment by the BolSheviki against Polish
territory and recommending that Il plan
be adopted for defensive measures. The
letter asked that the question be called
to the attention of Marshal Foch.
The council also had before it note
from the German plenipotentiaries
raising certain points regarding the
make up of the boundary commissions
provided for by the treaty of Yer
sailles. The questions were raised by
the Germans because of the nonratifica :
tion of the treaty by the United States
and the consequent lack of American
members on the commissions as pro.
vided for by the peace document.
The absence of the Americans alsC
raised the question as to the presideuc!
of the commissions to control the plebis
cite in the Teschen territory, on thu
Czecho Slovak Polish frontier. 1t wa!
pointed out that the French member
would act. pending the qualification o
the American member through the rati
fication of the pact, should such action
be taken by the United States Govern
ment.

Toxic, Jan. 26.--The dispatch of
japanese re endorsements to Siberia
was unavoidably necessary to assist the
Czechs and guard the extensive rail
ways. Premier Hara declared Satur-
doy in replying to interpretations in the
lower house of the Diet. 1t was also
necessary as a means of assuring the
safety of the japanese garrison.
There was no reason to withdraw the
Japspese troops. the premier added
simply because the Americans were
being withdrawn. the position of japan
and China in the Far East being far
different from that of the United States
or Great Britain. Also, he pointed out.
tbe future moves of the Bolshevists in
Siberia could not be forecast.
NJ. Uchida, the foreign minister,
also said that immediate withdrawal was
;mpossiblc, because some of the Nladi-
vistok Koreans were supporting the
Korean independence movement, while
others were conspiring with the Boil
shevists against japanese interests.
NJ Tanaka, the war minister, told
the House that 1000 japanese lives had
been sacrificed in maintaining order IN
Siberia.
ITokio and Washington dispatches
last week indicated that the japanese
troops in Siberia would be withdrawn
soon after the American forces left
in February. From the dispatch
above, however, it would seem
definite decision has not yet been
taken.

istrated that he does not hesitate to op-
pose the forces of disOrganizatiou that
are getting such a hold in this country.
He represents no faction and he has no
fads," he said.
The same gentleman discounted the
popular idea that it would be impolite
to nominate a Pennsylvania Republi-
can for President on the ground that
the state is so overwhelmingly Repub-
1ican, that inasmuch as Pennsylvania
is certain to deliver her electoral vote
to whoever may be nominated on Il Re
publican protective tariff platform, and
as other powerful states are in the
doubtful column, it would be the logic
of the situation to select u candidate
from one of the latter.
Assumption Wrong, He Says
1.-THE assumption is entirely wrong" "
declared the gentleman interviewed.
"While it is true that Pennsylvania is
solidly Republican she occupies even in
that unique position.
''She is surrounded by doubtful
states. States that have swung back
and forth from Republicanism to Dem
ocracy with disappointing frequency in
recent years; New York. Ohio. West
Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and New
Jersey.
"Pennsylvania has large interests in
every one of these states, not controlling
interests of course, but powerful indus
trial claims, and one of them would
have d greater personal and ncighborly
interest in a Pennsylvania President
than in one chosen from "A Middle West

gressmen are not anxious to face this
issue.
If universal training does not go
through this time it will probably not
get through at all. The circumstances
are more favorable for it now than they
will be likely to be again. Members
of Congress are not explicitly pledged
against it. In the next congress there
! will probably be many men pledged
against it, if the issue remains open
until next fall.
The result of raising the issue is that
many congressman from the rural dis
tricts will have to pledge their cOnStit
uents to vote against compulsion. More
over. there is no division between the
parties on this subject now.
Democrats May React
This will probably not remain the
case long. The Democrats will probably
react to their old position of opposition.
The Bryan influence will be against
compulsiOn.
The issue is troublesome, not only to
congressman who want to come back
but to presidential candidates. Ono OF
the most interesting questions of the
campaign has been whether the coun
try would or would not accept mill
tary candidate for president.
Up to the present General Wood il
spite Of his identification with the mill
tary idea. has been the leading Repub-
lican candidate. at least among the peo
pie. Latest reports indicate that his
