atoms OF Nature. he may iormu-

more intimate acquaintance with
his environment has been denied
him.
The race has been placed in a

a great municipal building in
Amarillo.
Mr.. Stianett is undoubtedly
correct in the stand he has taken
II is a secondary matter that the
bond market is low at present.
The bonds need not be sold at
once. But they ought to be issued

GREAT BRITISH FLEET
FOR PACIFIC WILL BE
URGED BY JELLlCOE

Washington, Jan. GA formid-
able British fleet in the pacific and
Indian oceans will be recommended
by Viscount Jellicoe when he returns
to England and reports his tour of
naval investigation of the British
dominions.
This fleet will be recommended to
consist of eight battleships of the
latest type, eight modern battle cruis-
ers, ten light cruisers, forty Destroy
ers and about forty submarines, it
was said.
The expense of construction and
maintenance of the proposed fleet
would be borne in part by the Brit,
ish dominions concerned and the ac-
ceptance of the plan is at their dis
cretion.
Viscount Jellicoe has been on his
tour of inspection since last Febru,
ary. He and his party will leave
Washington this afternoon for Ha'
anna, where they will sail on the
. attic cruiser New Zealand. 1t is
,ntatively planned by Viscount Jel'
licoe to visit South Africa before re-
turning to England, and this might
result in a recommendation for a
fleet in African waters, where only
a squadron is now maintained. Great
Britain has two fleets-the Atlantic
and Mediterranean

DISPATCH
ARMED BATTALIONS
TO HALT BOLSHEVIKI

Washington, Jan. 6.-With close
to 100000 of her troops now in ST.
IBERIA, Japan has made her first move
to crush completely the eastward
sweep of the Bolsheviki forces, it
was learned
Japan has sent two armed battal-
ions of a total Of approximate g.
900 men to Irkutsk to quell the local
uprisings there of revelutionists. The
Bolshevik army was reported to be
between fifty and one hundred miles
west if Irkutsk.
Japan has announced her intention
of not allowing the red forces to ad-
vance east of Lake Baikal, and she
is understood to be moving her for
ces up this point now. Irkutsk is just
west of the lake.
Japan has increased her forces in
Siberia to nearly 100000 men, al
though this exceeds the number per-
mitted under the agreement under
which she and the other allies inter-
vened in Siberia, it was learned from
authoritive sources today. When
Japan, the United States, Great Brit
ain and France sent troops into ST.
IBERIA in the summer of 1919, it was
agreed by Japan that her troops at
no time exceed the total number of
the other allies.
