below medium stature, but she has
the graceful and stately type of

through the choice of proper lines.

BRITAIN TO HELP
America Grateful for Interest
Taken in Japan Affairs.
Request for Removal of Troops
From Siberia Lauded.

Washington, May 23.-The United
States government will be extremely
well pleased if Great Britain, thru ex-
ertion of friendly pressure upon
Japan, can bring about withdrawal of
Japanese troops from Siberia, officials
said today.
This government is firm in its at
titude that Siberia should be evacu-
ated lat the earliest possible moment
and this view is well known to the
Toxic government, despite the fact
that Secretary of State Hughes has not
pressed the Japanese to name a def
mite date for withdrawal.
The reported move of Great Britain
in making friendly representations
to Japan came as a surprise to Of
ficials here. while the attitude of the
United States toward continued oc-
cupation of Siberia by Japan has all
along been known in London, there
was no particular reason to expect the
British foreign office to be sufficiently
interested in the Far Eastern situation
to take the initiative in attempting to
bring about a settlement of so delicate
a. question.
