Government Will Take Troops Out
 Witbin Short Time
BEGIN TRIP IN FEBRUARY
American Railway Commission to Be Taken Away as CLccho-SlOvakS Begin Their Rcpatration Movement, Thus Removing Necessity.

Washington, Jan. 12 (By the As sociated Press) The 5000 American troops in Siberia will begin their homeward movement soon after the middle of February leaving to Japan the protection of the Siberian railroad and the loyal Russians in eastern Siberia.
 The American railway commission which has been directing the opera tion of the Siberian railroad will come out before that time, it was learned today and as the Czecho- SloVak troops will have been repatr- ated early next month, the reason for the presence of the American mili- tary forces will have been removed.
 The American troops were sent to Siberia to assist the Czechs, who were tryng tio reach Europe via Niadivo- stok, and in accordance with an agreement reached with Japan and the Entente powers. Japan has been notified of the cancellation of that agreement as far as the Amer- can forces arc concerned. It is known here what Japans policy will be, now that she will be obliged to face alone the problem of checking progress of the eastward flood of Bolshevism but it has been suggested that she might imm ediately avail herself of that provision of the league of nations covenant which permits any party to call for the assistance or advice of the others in meeting any menacing conditions such as the Bolshevil movement which she re- gards as threatening her.
