Acted With Allies. This measure was taken in con-Junction with Japan and in concert of purpose with the other Allied powers, first of all to save the Czecho-Slovak armies, which were threatened with destruction by hostile armies apparently organized by, and often largely composed of enemy prisoners of war. The second purpose in view was to steady any efforts of the Russians at self-defense, or the establishment of law and order in which they might be willing to accept assistance. Two regiments of infantry, with auxiliary troops about 8,000 effectives comprising a total of approximately 10,000 men, were sent under the command of MaJ. Gen.

William S. Graves. The troops began to arrive at Vladivostok in September, 1918. Considerably larger forces were dispatched by Japan at about the same time, and much smaller forces by others of the Allied powers. The net result was the successful reunion of the separated Czecho-Slovak armies, and the substantial elimination in Eastern Siberia of the active efforts of enemy prisoners of war.

Adv. 1 Cuts Off Auto Grease and Grime HERE is something that will be welcomed by every auto owner because it takes grease and dirt off the hands in a jiffy States accepted a plan proposed by Japan for the supervision of the Siberian Railways by an international committee, under which committee, Mr. John F. Stevens would assume the operation of the Russian railway Eervice corps.

In this connection, it is to be recalled that Mr. John F. Stevens, in response to a request of the provisional government of Russia, went to Russia in the spring of 1917. A few months later he was made official adviser to the minister of ways of communications at Petrograd under the provisional government. Railway Corps Organized.

At the request of the provisional government, and with the support of Mr. John F. Stevens, there was organized the so-called Russian Railway Service Corps, composed of American engineers. As originally organized, the personnel of this corps constituted fourteen skeleton division units as known in this country, the idea being that these skeleton units would serve as practical advisors and assistants on fourteen different sections of the Siberian Railway and assist the Russians by their knowledge of long-haul problems as known in this country and which are the ruje and not the exception in Siberia. Owing to the Bolshevik uprising and the general chaotic conditions, neither Mr.

Stevens nor the Russian Railway Service Corps was able to begin work in Siberia until March, 1918. They have been able to operate effectively only since the railway plan was adopted, in February, 1919. The most recent report from Mr. Stevens shows that on part of the Chinese Eastern and Railway he is now running six trains a day each way, while a little while they were only able to run that many trains per week. In accepting the railway plan it was provided that some protection should be given b.y the allied forces.

Mr. Stevens stated frankly that he would not undertake the arduous task before him unless he could rely upon support from. American troops in an emergency. Accordingly, as provided in the railway plan, and with the approval of the interallied committee, the military commanders in Siberia have established troops where it is necoesary to maintain order at different parts of the line. Irotot-tirR Railway.

The American forces under Gen. Graves are understood to be protecting parts of the line near Vladivostok, and also on the section around Ve-rchne Udlnsk. There is also understood to be a smill body of American troops at Harbin. The exact location from time to time of American troops is, however, subject to change by the direction of Gen. Graves.

The instructions to Gen. Graves direct him not to interfere in Russian affairs, but to support Mr. Stevens wherever necessary. The Siberian Railroad is not only the main artery for transportation in Siberia, but it is the only '-pen access to European Russia today. The population of cr t.

resources have been rlnK-st exhausted by the long year-! of war and the chaotic conditions which have existed there, can be protected from a further period of chaos and' anarchy only by the restoration and maintenance of traffic along the Siberian Railway. Partisan bands under leaders having no settled connection with any organized government, and bands under leaders whose allegiance to any settled authority is apparently temporary and transitory, are constantly menacing the operation of the railway, and the safety of its permanent structures. The situation of the people of Siberia, meantime, is that they have no shoes or warm clothing; they are pleading for agricultural machinery and for many of the simpler articles of commerce upon which their own domestic economy depends, and which are nec Xow Four-DfKir Solan HeceivetL The Sperreng-Oakland Company, 3436 Lindell boulevard, has received the newest creation in their line, a four-door Sedan. TEAM MULE The Secretary of the Interior lias issued the following invitation to the American people to visit the National forks and National Monumenfc' 0 plies to meet the needs of the civilian population. The Kolchak government also is endeavoring to arrange for the purchase of medical and other Red Cross supplies from the AVar Department and the American Red Cross is itself attempting the forms of relief for which it is organized.

The presence of American troops is a vital element in this effort. The services of Mr. Stevens depended upon it. and In point of serious moment, the plan proposed by Japan expressly provides that Mr. Stevens and all foreisn railway experts shall be withdrawn when the troops are withdrawn.

From these observations it will be seen that the purpose of the continuance of American troops In Siberia is that we, with the concurrence of the'preat Allied powers, may keep open a necessary artery of trade and extend to the vast population of Siberia tho economic aid essential to in peace time, but indispensable under the conditions which have followed the prolonged and ex-hausting participation by Russia in the war against the central powers. This participation was obviously of incalculable value to the Allied cause, and in a very particular way commands the exhausted people who suffered from It to such assistance as we csm render to brir.jr about their industrial and economic rehabilitation.
