Colonel Leader paid especial tribute to our American boys and was fre quently interrupted with outbursts of applause. His final tribute brought a tumultuous demonstration. He had drawn an impressive, dra matic picture of American boys fight ing so far from home, "and I like to think,"; he said,, "that in the happy Valhalla we all dream of, a place is reserved for the American lads who camouflaged under the Union Jack or tri-color- in a cause of decency and high honor and tenderness and all the fine things Americans keep holy." The orchestra gave an overture, Gabriel-Marie's "Child of the Arcade," a stirring musical gem. This was fol lowed by- a oomprehensive resume of class activities by Professor T. T. Da vis. ' ' .

A Joint conference of the field marshals and admirals of Japan has been called for June 10. The entente governments of Europe are bringing increasing influence to bear to Induce Japan to Intervene ' In Russia, Among the several French of ficers who have arrived in Toklo to consult with tha. general staff is Major Plchon, who was headof the French military mission to Russia and whose recall was demanded by the Bolshevik!. Major Plchon is striving for inter vention In Siberia as a military neces sity with the same energy that he op posed Roumanla's entrance into tha war as an ill-advised step. . Apparently Japan is divided on the question of Intervention, but the army is undergoing savere training. , The partisans of intervention are finding Bupport from A L Konovaloff, formerly Minister "of Trade and Indus try In the Russian provisional govern ment, and especially from Jules Des tree, who was appointed Belgian Min ister to Petrograd in August, 1917. "It is urgently imperative for the defense of the Interests of the entente that there shall be a liberation of the. Russian people from Germanic domina tion," M. Destree declared. "The Trans-Siberian Railway Is the only remaining communication with the outside world . and this could be destroyed at any time by the German prisoners, of whom there are 20,000 un der arms in Siberia. "I saw armed Germans at every sta tion, ostensibly allies of the Bolshe vik L The destruction of the Trans Siberian Railway would mean the com plete abandonment of Russia to the Teutons."
