BOOK ATTACKS AMERICA'S 1918 SIBERIANSTAND General Assails Department of State Under Wilson • for ‘Adventure.’ BY SIDNEY B. WHIPPLE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 6. Japan sought permanent control of northern Russia during "America’s Siberian adventure,” it is intimated by Major-General William S. Graves, U. S. A., retired, in a book scathingly critical of the state department under Woodrow Wilson for its part in that hitherto mysterious expedition. For the first time in ten years elapsed since our forces were withdrawn from northern Russia, General Graves offers an official explanation of the confused issues behind the amazing adventure. He tells frankly of the clash of interests between the state department and the war department from which he received his orders. Worked at Cross Purposes The expeditionary force commanded by General Graves was sent to Russia in 1018, ostensibly to operate with Japanese and British forces in helping Czech troops escape from that country and rejoin the allies following Russia’s collapse and revolution. The American troops remained in Siberia until the so-called Kolchak government in Siberia had succumbed to Soviet forces. "America’s Siberian Adventure” presents a picture of the two departments working at cross purposes; of American consuls and higher state officials succumbing to British and Japanese propaganda; of America playing Japan’s game; of interference, or attempted interference, in Russia’s internal affairs; of misrepresentation, misinterpretation, concealment of truth, and a ‘‘fraud on the American public.” Lists Many Names General Graves gives names—and some of those names are those of men who ranked high in the department of state and who, today, occupy key positions in that branch of the government. Newton D. Baker, war secretary

in the Wilson cabinet, contrioutes a foreword strongly supporting Graves’ statements, although with milder language. ‘‘Perhaps the state department was more impressed than I was with the allied views as to the desirability of co-operation beyond the scope of the aide memoire,” he says, referring to the orders under which General Graves operated.
