CULTIVATE
RUSSIAN FRIENDSHIP
Political Significance Seen in
Speech at Recent Dinner Given
Refugees in Paris.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOwRER.


By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright, 1921.
PARIS, February 12.-It is believed in
Russian emigre refugee) circles here
that Japan now is entering upon an
energetic i-bolshevist Russian policy.
the effect of which might in the end be
to win Russia's friendship. thus leaving
Japan's hands free to deal with her
American relations as circumstances
may dictate. 1t is said that negotiations
have been opened with a view to trans
porting the remnants Of Gen. Wrangers
army from the neighborhood of Constan-
tinople to vladivostok. Moreover, learn
that a week ago a handsome dinner was
given by the Japanese officials here to
number of Russian generals at the
Honore. The hosts were Gen. Watanabe.
Maj. Kuwaki, an eminent japanese ex-
pert on Russian affairs. and ten other
Japanese officers. The guests were the
Russian Gems. Miller, Youssefovitch
and Sytchov, a representative OF the
Cossacks, and two or three Russian
coionels.
At this dinner Gen. watanabe read a
speech in Russian, said to have been
written by Maj. Kuwaki, in which he
declared. according to one of those pres.
in frittering away Russias territory.
that Japan would stand by Russia
stanchly to overthrow the bolsheviki
and restore Russia's territorial integrity.
The political significance Of such a
speech can hardly be ignored

This announcement is especially
interesting due to the prominence
Of the contracting parties, and be-
cause one of Jackson's best known
young women will become a member
OF Washington's social and political
circle; Tho romance which brings
today's announcement has been
pretty one. so say close friends of
the couple.
Senator Townsend and the late
Ernest s. Loomis were close friends
and brother Knights Templar. The
two families have been friends so
many years they scarcely know
the senator's recent vacations from
his official duties at Washington,
which were spent in his home city
. he and Miss Loomis found much
pleasure together in motoring, golf
ing and other outdoor sports. OF
course, 1t was the most natural re-
suit in the world to realize suddenly
that the feeling which had made
them such good chums was deeper
tnan friendship and so the old. old
story once more was told.
Miss Loomis will be an addition

CITY HEADS MAY ASK
EXTRA APPROPRIATION
Commissioners Said to Be Consid-
ering Deficiency Fund Re-
quest of Congress.

The commissioners. it was learned
last night, probably will have to ask
Congress for deficiency appropriations
amounting to about 100000 to carry
the city government through the ball
ance Of the fiscal year.
Maj. Daniel J. Donovan. auditor.
worked yesterday on final draft Of
the estimates and they probably will
he ready to go to the Treasury De-
psrtment this week for transmittal
to Congress-.
1t is understood the Commissioners
considered the question of a deficiency
for the sewage pumping station,
where it has become necessary to re-
duce the force because of low funds.
Whether this item has been included
is not yet known.
There also is likely to be an item in
the deficiency estimates to increase
the amount available for the paving
Of Bladensburg road to the District
line. This job could not be started
in 1920 because contractors would not
bid within the amount the Commits
sioners had to spend.
