JAP3 SET FOR ATTACK ON
SIBERIA, BRITON ASSERTS
LONDON, July 21 (AP)
Japanese preparations for an at
tack on Russia's Siberian Mar
itime province and Vladivostok
are almost complete and if neces
sary the Japanese could "press
the button and start to move into
Siberia," an anonymous British
source declared today.
This source said the occupat
ion of islands at the western tip
of the Aleutians resulted in a
useful strategical situation for
the Japanese since It placed them
"on the flank of a possible Amer
ican attack on Japan".
While Japan has massed an
army of about 30 divisions in Man-
chukuo, her military activity in
Burma and other areas neces
sarily has been limited, it was
pointed out.
In Burma and the south Pac
ific, this source said, Japan has
been consolidating her positions.
He added that the only real Jap
anese activity in those areas now
is In the Solomon Islands from
which the Japanese can Interfere
with communications between
the United States and Australia.
Bad Weather Stays Japs '
Bad weather, which will con
tinue until October or November,
also has been a factor In restrict
ing military operations by both
sides in Burma. There have been
no real signs, meanwhile, or fur
ther Japanese moves toward an
invasion of India.
Siberia is the danger point of
the allied strategical situation in
East Asia, this source said.
"The Japanese will attack
when it suits them, not the Ger
mans," he added.
He predicted that Japan was
preparing to throw at least half
a million men into an overland
onslaught against Russia's Siber
ian strongholds.

travel suggestions. Observance of them will make your trip more pleasant
and comfortable and will aid us in performing our most important job-the
swift transport of men and materials to training camps and fighting fronts.
void week-end travel
1 ravel is always heaviest on week-ends. By starting vour trio
on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, you have a wider choice
or accommodations and you make way tor those who must travel
on week-ends war workers and men in the armed services.
e an early bird
Get full information well in advance of the day you plan to leave.
Purchase your rail and Pullman tickets as early as possible. You
thus are assured of accommodations and you avoid last-minute
rush. If you can't get a lower berth or if you have to wait your
turn in the dining car please be tolerant, realizing that the extra
cars, locomotives and crews which would relieve such a situa
tion in normal times, are now hauling troops and war materials.
We can't buy any new cars because of the shortage of critical
materials. Full-length lounge cars have been replaced by sleep
ine or chair cars on all U. S. railroads so that more people can
ride on one train a matter of vital importance to the war effort.

If you need a compartment, a drawing room, or a bedroom by all
means buy it. But please don't take more space than absolutely
necessary. A berth may be all that you really need. Or share a
room with a friend or business associate when travelinn together.
xpect occasional delay
Allow ample leeway between the scheduled arrival of your train
and the time of your business appointment. Remember that trains
carrying war materials and supplies are using the same tracks
as your train, and these Victory Trains have to come first. If
your train should be delayed by war traffic, we hope you will
accept the inconvenience in good spirit, realizing that we are
doing everything in our power to maintain on-time schedules.
