SOVIET FEARS GIGANTIC GRAB BY JAPANESE Russia Sees Grim Specter of War on Two Fronts Facing Her. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS ftrrlppx-Howard Forrlrn Editor WASHINGTON. Feb 24.—Back of Commissar Voroshilov’s warning to Russia’s army of 5,000,000 men to be ready to fight is the growing fear in that country that it shortly may be at war on two fronts. The Japanese general staff is believed to include the maritime province of Siberia, the northern half of the Island of Sakhalin, and perhaps even the province of Amur in its scheme of empire. The great question, therefore, is whether the general staff believes this is the time to strike. Similarly, Moscow officials frankly charge that the leading capitalist powers of Europe await only the opportune moment to attempt destruction of the Soviet state. And what better opportunity could they ask than when Russia was fighting a war 5,000 miles away, in Asia? Attitude Is Mystery Mystery surrounds the attitude of the three great European- powers most interested in the far east, ' namely, Great Britain, France and Russia. Britain and France have been strangely timid in their handling of Japan’s violations of Chinese territory. And Russia has maintained almost complete silence. What is behind the French and British attitude continues to be a matter for speculation. Rumors of an understanding with Japan have been denied officially. But Russia’s motives are regarded here as more easily understood. She is mortally afraid of attack. Russia is seen as wishing to avoid war at this time at any cost. In another two or three years she will be ready. Her five-year pla’n will be completed. She can feed herself and supply her armies in the field with munitions. Financially, she expects to be sounder. Army Being Prepared Meanwhile, reliable information pictures Soviet officials as privately furious over Japan’s war on China, while publicly professing unconcern. Even the controlled press is playing down Sino-Japanese news as if it were of no great moment to Russians. Under this cloak of indifference, however, it is reported, the red army is being made ready for hostilities and munitions and equipment plants are working night and day. Russians have not forgotten that in their war with the Japanese in 1905, Japan struck first and declared war afterwards. The Russian fleet was sunk off Port Arthur two days before Tokio proclaimed war. They likewise remember that Japan sent an army of 60,000 into Manchuria in 1918 on the pretext of relieving a few Czech soldiers cut off there by the revolution, and that it took five long years to get them out again. Must Get Coal, Iron Russians are of the opinion that Japan would have retained control over eastern Siberia at that time had it not been for the unexpected strength shown by the Siberians, plus an unfavorable domestic and international situation. Students of the Far Eastern lineup admit Japan must be satsified eventually to become a third rate power unless she can gain control over an area producing sufficient food, coal, and iron. This she must be able to hold on to, in time of war as well as peace. The Manchurian, Mongolian, and Siberian territory just across the Japanese sea from the island empire contains all these and more. There are gold, oil, copper, lead, magnesite, and numerous other metallic and non-metallic minerals ample for her needs.

Own Medicine Officer Baker at Last Drinks Milk—and Likes It, Too.

THE thirteen years patrolman Otrs Baker has been on the police force, he has learned the milk treatment for poison cases j and has become antagonistic j against personal consumption of 1 milk in any shape or form. He will tell you that after see- ! ing milk literally poured into per- ! sons who sought to “end it all” : w-ith poison, the fluid held no charms for him. Several plots to get Baker to drink milk have failed—except one. That one materialized Sunday night, but the story only leaked out at headquarters today. Baker strolled into the city hospital admitting room and complained to Dr. Jake Gillespie that he “felt rotten.” Baker was sure he had a cold and any quick remedy would be acceptable. Gillespie mixed up the potion, which Baker gulped. He made faces that we all once made with spring tonics and other doses. “Wow, that stuff sure is terrible,” he moaned. A lodk of horror came over ; Gillespie’s face. “My God, I’ve given you poison ! by mistake,” Gillespie cried. “Do something, quick,” Baker j pleaded. Gillespie ran to the refrigerator. : He thrust a full quart of milk at Baker. The old milk-Baker battle faded and peace was declared. It was now a matter of life or death, Baker thought. When Baker w r as through with the quart only a few drops remained. Gillespie and Sergeant Dan j Scanlon were hysterical with i laughter. Baker had fallen for j the gag and had consumed his ; first milk in years. Baker’s statements and threats i against the physician and Scan- | lon were not recorded.

BOND ISSUE FOR NEW DETENTION NOME ORDERED First Definite Step Taken by Commissioners; Ponder Two Sites. County commissioners today authorized a bond issue of SIIO,OOO for erection of anew juvenile detention home. This is the first definite action taken by the board in obtaining a new home to replace the present one on which the lease expired Jan. 1. County Auditor Charles Grossart was ordered to draw up an appropriation ordinance for the amount of the bonds. The ordinance will be presented to the council for its approval at its next meeting, March 7 and 8, Grossart said. Decided on Amount Having decided the amount to be expended for anew structure, commissioners have not agreed finally upon a site. The location will be announced within a few days, they said. Commissioner Dow Vorhies pointed out they intended to purchase a site and erect a building for SIIO,OOO, while a former county council allotted SIOO,OOO to buy a detention home site, which never was bought. A near downtown site, It was reported, is most acceptable to commissioners of the sites considered. Apartment on Site This real estate is owned by Jean P. Deupree and is said to be valued for sale at $28,000. An apartment house on the site would be razed to make way for anew three-story structure to house 100 children, it was learned. George Snider, Republican commissioner, is reported to oppose buying the^ property at $28,000. It is not worth' more than $20,000, he claims. Another site, located south of the Athenaeum on Masaschusetts avenue, with ample room for playgrounds, also is being considered.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Hot Tempers By United Prtts CHICAGO, Feb. 24. The Park Ridge volunteer fire department is displeased with their fellow subsurbanite volunteers of Niles, Chief H. A. •Miller said today. “The Niles volunteer fire department is a fine department, but we don’t like their attitude, ’* Chief Miller explained. “There was an alarm at Henry Dreyer’s house in Niles. The Niles department answered, and so did the Morton Grove fire force. Then the Morton Grove hose didn’t fit the Niles plugs, so they went home. On top of that the Niles men quit to go and eat their supper. And we had to put out the fire.” Chief Miller said in the future his volunteers would put out fires only in Park Ridge.

Reaching the barbecue, he noticed several parked cars and began a search for a tire that would fit his own car.
