, IT appears,' as these words arc
y written, that the Japs and the
Russians nave entered into soino
sort or agreement to suspend fight
ing along the Siberian bonier.'-.
(It pay a to be cautious in these
mutters. You can't believe much
you read, because of rigid censor
ship, and besides agreements be
tween nations aren't worth much
in these days of undeclared wars.)
Hut at the moment It does look
os if some sort of agreement, tem
porary or otherwise, has been
readied. . '
WHAT does it mean?
" Well, it probably means that
Russia alms to harass and annoy
Japan as much as possible without
actually getting into the war her
self on the offensive side.
If Russia can scare Japan into
keeping a big army In the north,
thus dividing the Japanese forces,
she will help China by just that
lhuch, and at the same time won't
be taking any great risks herself.'

May Run for Election

HOISIS, Idaho, Aug. 13. ( AP)
An overture by National llemocra
tlc Chairman James A. Karley to
Conservative D, Worth Clark ap
peared today to have closed a
threatened rift between Idaho
democrats.
Clark, who defeated one of the
administration's supporters. Sen.
James I1- Pope, in Tuesday's Idaho
democratic senatorial primary,
was offered backing of the nation
al rommittoe by Karley last night.
Rumors that Pope would run as
a write-in candidate in the No
vember general , election were
less frequent today after it was
revealed Farley, vacationing in
Michigan, wired Clark:
"This Is the first chance I have
had to extend my heartiest con
gratulations.' 'I'M ' personally . or
the democratic national committee
can be of assistance, please feel
free to command me. You have
my very best wishes for your suc
cess." Farley, en route through Idaho
prior to the primary, indicated the
administration favored Pope's re
nomination. Clark campaigned
that he was not an administration
"yes man."
Leading democrats pointed out
today that should Pope run as an
independent, C'larks' 'voto : "would
be cut, giving the repuiilican seno
torlat nominee, Donald A. Callahan
of Wallace, the inside track for
election.
A group of Popn supporters,
meeting here yesterday, maneuver
ed to run the junior senator an an
independent candidate. Pope de
clined to discuss the move.
In a prepared statement, Pope's
followers charged that republicans
"stole (bo democratic nominal fen
for United States senator from
Mr. Pope and gave ll to Congress
man Clark."

hoans did not have to designate
