JAPAN BUILDING
HUGE FORTS ON
SIBERIAN COAST
Chain of Defensive Works Said
to Shut OFF Country From
Other Powers.
BY HARRY l.. ROGERS,
International News service.

Japan has begun fortifying the
coast of Siberia with 12-inch guns
calculated to make the peninsula
impregnable to an attacking fleet.
This sensational charge was made
today by Alexandra Yazikoff. spokes-
man Of the delegation of the Far
Eastern Republic of Siberia, who has
just received detailed information
concerning what purports to be the
plan of the Japanese for maintain
ing their hold on the Russian MAIN
land deposite promises made at the
armament conference to withdraw
their troops as soon as possible.
Dominates Tartary Straits.
These Notifications extend along
the coast from Sofisk to Nikolaevsk,
Yazikoff declared. absolutely domi-
mating the straits of Tartary, be-
tween the island Of SaghalIen and
the mainland. These straits, known
among strategists as the Darda-
nelles Of the Far East, had hitherto
been regarded as the one means Of
access to the Siberian mainland in
face Of japanese resistance.
The newly undertaken Japanese
defenses are being rushed to COM
pletion with "feverish haste" ac-
cording to the official advices to the
Far Eastern delegation. They con-
sirt not only of shore batteries of
twelve-inch guns. mounted in the
most modern artillery emplace-
ments. but also OF an intricate sys-
tenn Of mines. designed to make
passage OF the straits impossible.
The new Japanese enterprise in.
cludes a coaling depot in De Castri
Bay capable Of accommodating the
entire japanese fleet. Ynzikoff

tions along the coast. The dilapi
dated barracks at Nikoiaevsk.
Marinsk and Sofisk are being re-
modelled and newly equipped. and
u railroad is being constructed from
Aexardrovsk to Nikolacvsk.
In connection with the charges by
M. Yazikoff, II was pointed out by
an American expert that at the be-
ginning Of the Washington confer
ence troops Of the so-called Vladi-
vostok government, which Is al
legged to have japanese support.
seized the harbor OF Petropa nlovski,
on the western end Of the Kam-
chtaka peninsula. This harbor Is
free from ice during a considerable
portion Of the year and forms an Inn
portant link in a theoretical line OF
communications between the North
ern Hemisphere and the eastern
coast Of Asia. Owing to the
geographical location Of the jap
anese islands. this northern route,
which contemplated passage through
the Straits Of Tartary, was regarded
as the only feasible means Of reach
ing the coast Of Siberia in face Of
opposition.
Serve Double Purpose.
"The Qualifications at Sofisk and
Marinsk might possibly be intended
for use against the forces Of the Far
Eastern republic" NJ Yazikoff de-
clared; but those at the mouth Of
the Amur river and in De Castrt bay
are of such a nature that they could
only be intended for defense against
attack from some power outside Of
