the future could possibly apply to

selection Of Harry M. Daugherty as
attorney general has only served
to strengthen his determination to
appoint Mr.. Daugherty to that Of

'Harbin. Manchuria, Feb. a.
Military operations by the Rus
sian bolsheviki against Japanese
forces in Siberia are believed 10
be foreshadowed by concentrations
of soviet troops in the eastern end
Of the country. While badly cloth
ed and, fed, the soldiers are re-
ported to be well armed and under
severe discipline.
The reason given by the bolshev-
Xxi officials for dispatching troops
to Khabarovsk, is that there are
large supplies of grain there, suf-
ficient to maintain the troops for
a year. On the other hand, reports
from there indicate that the sup
plies available are sufficient for
about month.
The bolshevik authorities are
said to be mobilizing the popula-
ton of the Russian Far East. This
step would have the double pur-
pose of increasing the military
forces and Of disintegrating, by
calling into the service of the ex-
listing government, the men Of the

st. Augustine, Fla, Feb. 23.-(As-
sociated Press.)-with only few
formalities remaining to finally
close up the selection of his cabi-
net, President-elect Harding gave
his attention today to other immed-
late appointments and to the prep.
aration of his inaugural address.
The chance that changes will be
made now in the cabinet personnel
is considered remote, although Mr..
Harding realizes that contingencies
requiring last minute shifts are
easily within the range of possibil-
itys
Formal invitations and accep-
tances have not yet been exchanged
in regard to three of tie ten places,
but the attitude Of all the men Sc
lected has been, felt out indirectly.
The three from whom formal ac-
ceptances are still to como are Ed
win D~nby of Michigan; Herbert
Hoover of California, and James J.
Davis of Pennsylvania. slated re-
spectively for the portfolios Of navy,
commerce and labor.
There have ! zen published re-
ports that Mr.. Hoover might de-
cline, but they manifestly are not
credited by Mr.. Harding and hiS ad-
visofs. =.
Another selection understood to
have been decided on is that Of
George B. Christian, Jr., to be sec
iretary to the president. Mr.. Chris
titan has been Mr.. Harding's pri
vate secretary since he entered thu
senate six years ago, and although
there has been no formal announce.
ment every indication has pointed
to his retention. He is A years
old and has been neighbor of the
Hardings in Marion, Ohio, for years
He is a graduate of Pennsylvania
Military college with the degree ol
iciv;l engineer, and before he be-
came secretary to Mr.. Harding, was
general manager of a Marion Lime
