.175th Combat Team
Passes Through D. {.
On Way 10 Virginia
3,210 Officers and Men,
In 375 Trucks, Leave
Fort Meade for Muneuvers

Three hundred and seventy five
Army trucks carrying 3,2l0 officers
and men of the 175th Infantry Com
bat Team from Fort Meade, Nd,
passed through Washington for
more than an hour, beginning at
$50 am. today, on their way to
the Caroline County (VaD Military
Reservation for 10 days Of maneu-
VerS.
Travelling about Is miles an hour
at 50-yard intervals, the vehicles
entered the District by way of
Bladensburg road. Their route
through the city then followed New
York avenue NV, Third street
NV, Maryland avenue S.W, D
street SW. and Fourteenth street
S.W., leading to the Highway
Bridge. They were escorted by nine
motorcycle policemen.
First units of the motor caravan
rolled out of Fort Meade at 8:13
| am, with the vanguard expected to
reach the reservation in Caroline
County about pm. The combat
team is commanded by Col. Harry
c. Ruhle, commander of the 175th
Infantry Regiment Of Baltimore.
At the reservation, the men of the
175th combat team will live in
pyramidal tents left by men of the
155th Infantry combat team, who
returned from the reservation Fri
day.
The soldiers carried a lunch with
| them en- route to the reservation
via Fredericksburg, Va, but there
after their meals will be prepared
at field kitchens, whose supplies
will be shipped by rail from Fort
Meade.
Making up the combat team are
the entire 175th Infantry Regiment
of Baltimore, the I'd Battalion of
the 10th Field Artillery of Pixies
vile, one company of the l2lst En-
gineers Regiment Of Washington and
detachments of the 104th Medical

one deeper motive behind this
outrage. He wishes to destroy
the Russian power because he
hopes that if he succeeds in this,
he will be able to bring back the
main strength of his army and
air force from the East and hurl
it upon this island, which he
knows he must conquer or suffer
the penalty Of his crimes.
His invasion of Russia is no
more than prelude to an at
tempted invasion of the British
Isles. He hopes, no doubt, that
all this may be accomplished be-
fore the winter comes, and if he
can overwhelm Great Britain be-
fore the fleets and air power of
the United States might inter-
vene. He hopes that he may once
again repeat upon greater scale
than ever before that process of
destroying his enemies one by
one, by which he has so long
thrived and prospered, and that
then the scenes will be clear for
the final act without which all
his conquests would be in vain,
namely. the subjugation of the
Western Hemisphere to his will
and to his system.
The Russian danger is, there
fore, our danger and the danger
Of the United States, just as the
cause Of any Russian fighting for
his hearth and home is the cause
of free men and free people in
every quarter of the globe. Let
us learn the lessons already
taught by such cruel experience.
Let us redouble our exertions and
strike with united strength while
life and power remains.

Japan Watched for Signs
OF Move on Siberia

= SHANGHAI, June % P).-Far
Eastern observers keenly watched
Japan today for signs that she might
try to seize Eastern Siberia while
Soviet Russia is battling for her life
against Germany in the West.
Dispatches from Toxic thus far
indicate extreme caution on the part
ef the tripartite pact partner who
also has a neutrality agreement
with Soviet Russia.
Conquest of Eastern Siberia is
pointed to as for long a frankly
admitted ambition of the powerful
japanese Kwantung Army which
sarrisons Manchukuo. Russian air
bases in the East constitute a threat
against Japan proper and Eastern
Siberia has natural riches.
Against such impulses are pitted
the recent Japanese trend south
ward in the Pacific, plus the set
- backs her military adventures on
khe Asiatic continent have suffered
In past years, such as the stalemated
Chinese war.
Soviet Forces Autonomous.
Against a Japanese move in the
north, observers recalled that Rus
sias Far Eastern defense forces
reputedly are self-sufflcient and vir-
tlally autonomous.
Japan also is believed to have
somewhat reduced her Manchur-
Ian garrisons. Thus some observers
saw Japan making a continental
move on Russia only if Russia
should become so weakened that
she would be easy prey.
1t was not expected here that ia
pan would abandon her South Asia
tic program Immediately. Heavy
japanese naval units have been
sighted moving southwark off the
Chinese coast recently.
Another belief expressed here was
that the present European develop
ments gave Japan a golden oppor-
tunity to get out of the Chine i'm
passe by an attack on Siberia. 1t
was suggested that Japan might
never find better chance OF liqui-
dating the Chinese war on face
saving basis.
Under such a plan Japan con-
