UWrtO STATES-JAPAN

Bach WiH At Once Send Plgfcting Force to Russia to Aid Friendly People.

i,{,

WASHINGTON, IX C., Aug. 3.—The t'nited States and Japan have agreed 'that each shall send a "few thousand |inen to Vladivostok,"

The purpose of tTils force wlT! be that of "co-operating as a single force In the occupation of Vladivostok and in safeguarding, so far as it may, the country to the rear of the westward moving Csecho-Slovaks." This announcement waa made officially tonight bv Acting Secretary of War

Wolk, after a consultation this after*onn with President Wilson and Secretary of War Baker.

5 Co-Operate With Allies. With It went the statement that the government of the United States is "now co-operating with the governments of France and Great Britain in the neighborhood of Murmansk and i, Archangel." *& It was made clear that the Vladivostok movement is one in support of the .iTzecho-Slovaks and thft it is in no -!Mse a military intervention. Later, .„ft is proposed to send to Russia a

Commission of merchants, agricultural experts, labor advisers, Red Cross and V. M. C. A. representatives to aid Rus$ia as best they may. t* This commission will endeavor to "relieve the immediate economic nefessities of the people" in Siberia in •very possible way. Solemn assurance was given that there will be no

Interference with either national or local Russian affairs, and Japan will igive similar assurance. I Will Oppose Teuton*.

Military action in Russia at present Is deemed admissible "only to render such protection and help as is possible to the Czecho-Slovaks against the Armed Austrian and German prisoners who are attacking them and to steady .. any efforts at self-government or self defense in which the Russians themselves may bo willing to accept as-

X*v

Bistance." Whatever aid Is extended in a military way—be it: from Vladivostok, Murmansk or Archangel—it will be confined now to guarding supplies and to rendering such assistance as the Russians themselves are willing to receive.

Prot Records Joins Army Athletic Corps

PROF. THOMAS W. RECORD^

Prof. TP. W, Records, until recently principal of the Garfield high school, is one of the enthusiastic patriots of Terre Haute. His enthusiasm to get into the midst of thing's led him to seek Y. M. C. A. service as director of athletics for the men. Athletics has been one of the professor's "long suits," as everybody who knows him. knows. He sailed recently for "over there," but Just before sailing, he posed for the accompanying picture to send back to his family. He is wearing the regulation over-seas cap if there's any question in anybody's mind as to the peculiar head-piece.

panied by police officers and govern-

ment operatives, caused considerable excitement for a time and the news

Corrttmtes After Midnight Until long after midnight the government agents, police, Liberty guards and soldiers from Camp Rose cwrvbed the downtown streets and the streets

of West Terre Haute, and the etevator w progressing northward along the in the federal building was kept on the move constantly hauling lotids of

suspected slackers up to be examined and released or held as the examination determined. The men who registered from the south side were taken care of by George Oscar Pix, Dr. M. B.

VanCleave and J. Schultz, who perspired aa they labored over the records in finding the records of the men brought before them. Lon^ lines that extended far into the corridors were formed, and man after man was examined and released after being iden-

tided as registered. Each of the men was given instructions to carry Jtheir icards in the future. i The north siders were taken care of by Finley MoXutt, Earl Houck and

Homer Williams and Judge Frank Raw ley and Judge A. L. Miller in another room, and the Tine there was equally long, and continued to grow i as the hours wore on and the raiders continued to bring in their captures,

Clyde Randal, United States commisi sloner, assisted by secret service' opI eratives, took care of the county men who were caught without their cards, and the long distance telephones and telegraph lines were kept busy by men who strove to identify themselves I the government agents. As the men i were found to be all right they wen I given cards to identify themselves against being picked up again during the night.

Many Women Appears

Many women, the wives of the men taken by the raiders, were provided with seats in the corridor of the federal building and waited while their husbands went through the process of examination and were released. On several occasions a suspected slacker, caught without his card, would whisper a word in the ear of his wife and she would depart In a hurry for home and return a few moments later with the card that brought freedom for her husband.

Many of the suspects pfCkefl up ifrere Austrians, registered as enemy aliens German enemy aliens, negroes, Syrians, Greeks and Roumanians. The majority were negroes, and in the course of examipation more than 150 colored men were examined and released.

Chief of Police Jack Beattie was on the scene early and watched the work of the patrolmen and detectives as they brought in their hauls. Every member of the police and detective departments were called into the raid and every available patrol wagon and automobile was used by the city law guardians in taking the men to their homes which could not be reached by telephone for their cards. Each policeman was accompanied by two or three liberty guards, and trips through the down-town streets, hotel lobbies, pool rooms, theatres were made and every man of draft age gathered in when they were unable to produce cards.

The patrolmen made no attempt to discriminate when a card was not forthcoming and took the suspect to the federal building to let the examining boards determine. There was no confusioa In the examination and everything was done as rapidly a£ possible to permit the men to get back to their homes before morning.

BELGIAN' BORDER NEAR.

Gen.

Foeh's Strategic Vision Can Almost Reach Flret Goal. N~E7W YORK, Aug. 8.—The German army has been squeezed out of practically all of the dead Marne salient and is continuing Its retreat with the Belgian border almost beginning to appear within range of General Foch's strategic vision.

There have beea t*re dominating victories won by the allies in the present series of engagements. The first was when the Americans drove the Germans back across the Marne, giving General Foch his opportunity to begin his counter drive. The second was the capture of Soissons. As the Marne victory opened the way for the exercise of decisive pressure against Hindenburg, within- -the SoissonsRheims salient, so the capture of Soissons opens new possibilities of compelling the Germans to retire north of the Aisne.

The Chemin Dee Dames positions, which are the enemy's principal defenses' north of the Aisne. are twelve miles northwest of Soissons. If General Foch can bend the German front into the western Chemin Des Dames area with a fair degree of rapidity, the danger of outflanking the enemy will Compel the Germans to retire still farther. The new positions may well bring the allies nearer the southern border of Belgium than they have been at any time since the Germans invaded France four years ago.

The enemy has carefully prepared defenses between the Chemin Des Dames and Belgium but it is certain that profound confusion has been caused to his plans and his reserves may not now be sufficient to hold the allies at all the importjint poittts along the west front.

The thrust wWch General Foch is beginning to develop against the Chemin Des Dames is the most serious problem the enemy has had to face since he began his retreat from the Marne. It may well denrnnd a short»i
