JAPANESE SOLDIERS
WILL QUIT SIBERIA
DIPLOMATIC COUNCIL DECLARES
OBJECTS OF AGREEMENT WITH
AMERICA ATTAINED.
With the Final Withdrawal Of the
American and Japanese Troops,
the Cxeeho- Siovaks viii be Left
Alone to Stop the Reds.

TOkiO.-Japan's object in agreeing
to cooperate with the United States in
supporting Czecho-Sloyak troops in
Siberia has been attained and the
withdrawal of Japan's troops from 81
IBERIA, will follow, it was decided at q
meeting of the advisory diplomatic
council on January 81, according to
newspapers here.
1t was asserted at the meeting, it is
said, that Japan has M territorial am
billions in Siberia and that troops now
being sent to that country are merely
to replace losses. 1t was declared that
the fundamental policies will not be af-
fected by this step. The council is re-
ported to have endorsed the cabinets
decision not to interfere further in the
internal affairs of Siberia and to adj
here strictly to the governments de-
claratiOn, when it entered into its
agreement with America in 1918.
Discussions in the Japanese press
and utterances by political leaders
have developed that probably. q large
majority Of the japanese people are
averse to entering single-handed into
such vast enterprise as the invasion
Of Siberia.
All of the other foreign elements
having been withdrawn from Siberia,
there remain now only about 5000
American and perhaps 10000 Japanese
troops in addition to the CzechO- SlO-
vaks, whose number has been vaguely
placed at somewhere between 10000
and 10000. 1t is planned to remove
all of these Czecho-SlOvaks by Feb
ruary 10 and the American troops
should have quit by March 1.

ALLIES INSIST ON
TRIAL OF Ex-KA|sER
HOLLANDS REFUSAL Is NOT
EXPECTED TO FINALLY CLOSE
the INCIDENT.
Believed That Allies Have So Strongly
Committed Themselves That They
Cannot Withdraw Without
Further Argument.

London.-In diplomatic quarters the
belief 10 expressed that the Dutch re.
ply with regard to surrender OF the
former German emperor does not
close the incident. Ii is held that the
allies have so strongly committed
themselves In the peace treaty ON this
matter that they cannot withdraw
without further conversations with
Holland.
In the opinion of close observers,
Great Britain In particular took such
an emphatic stand at the peace con-
ference that Downing street will have
to make some further move. At the
same time, public opinion In England
regarding the trial of the former war
lord has changed materially since the
conference. At that time the country
appeared very keen for bringing the
ex-kaiser to justice. In recent days,
however, the feeling seems to have
become more or less apathetic.
A dispatch from The Hague says
that while there may be a future ex-
change of notes with reference to the
allied demand for surrender of the
former German emperor, the govern
ment of The Netherlands is declared
inclined to the belief that its decision
will be considered as final.
The Dutch press does not expect any
belligerent action by the allied pow
ers, and the government is believed
to share this view, on the theory that
the demand for the former monarch's
extradition was made merely to satisfy
some political clamor in the allied
states and was not intended to be
pressed by the statesmen who signed

Believes But Few Dutehmen Would
Mourn Over His Surrender.


The Hague-Only one Dutch news
paper, the Amsterdam TELEGRAPH, went
beyond approval Of the governments
action In refusing surrender of the
kaiser, and, while heartily approving
the stand on national honor, said:
Sentiment for the former kaiser
here Is below zero, and we believe
that an extremely small number of
Dutchmen would have been hurt If
he had been called to account some
way or other for the terrible respon-
sibility which rests upon him. The
Dutch people do not feel like standing
as bulwark about the former kaiser,
and the best part of our government
note is its total absence Of sympathy
for the accused"
