Decoration. Are Conferred
. France herself paid the first tribute
to Verdun by conferring on it in con
rt foj-mlty with her tradition, the cross of
the legion of honor to which was also
added the croix de Guerre.
Immediately thereafter the various
allied nations followed suit with4 the
y most distinguished decorations they had

th German chancellor Count voa
Hertllng, to ask Germany's future
poller towtfrd the Lithuanians. The
chancellor stated that, after considera
tion, the imperial government had de
cided hat the Lithuanians were not
yet ready for self government. ;
. XLathuania is s vast tract of territory
In. s Western Russia. It borders the
frontier of East Prussia and touches
Courland -on the north and Poland on
the south. Its population Is several
millions.)
Germany is dally .taking on a more
domineering and harsher attitude to
ward her weaker neighbors on the
north and east. Since the possibility
has , developed . that a German prince
may be .placed at the head of the gov
ernment of Finland, -the German press,
evidently inspired by the government.
has adopted a, bullying tone toward
Norway, Sweden and Oenmark. These
outbursts in Berlin are given several
interpretations. The: one most, gener
ally held, however, is that Germany,
having occupied, the Aland Islands, off
the entrance to the Gulf of Bothnia, is
trying to overawe the Swedes against
any organized opposition.
(The Aland Islands .were formerly
Swedish. They were seized by Russia
in 1809. ,As the bulk of the population
is Swedish. Sweden has never given up
hope of getting them back.)
Roumanian Peace Completed
London. March 11. (U. P.) A pro
visional Roumanian-German peace has
been completed. Secretary for Foreign
Affairs Balfour announced in the
house of commons today.
Balfour said he had no information

Exchanges Are in Progress
By John Edwin Serin
Washington. March 11. (I. N. S.)
Important exchanges are in progress be
tween Toklo, London. Parfe and Rome
today according to diplomatic officials
here. It is understood that they have
to do with the proposed Japanese'
Chinese military expedition into Siberia.
Officials here believe Joint action by
China and Japan is almost certain un
less there is a decided change in the
situation, . Much, . however, will depend
on the action of the Bolshevik congress
which will meet in Moscow tomorrow
to act on the latest German-made peace
proposals.
Confidential advices received here to
day said that part of the Japanese army
is being mobilized. The diet has before
it a mobilization and conscription bill ;
but, according to advices received here.
the Japanese foreign minister has de
cided to make a public statement as to
how far the government will go into
pressing these terms. It is understood
that Roland S. Morris, the American
ambassador to Japan, held a lengthy
conference with Viscount Motono on
Saturday, at which the position of the
United States toward intervention in Si
beria was discussed. Whether a report
of the result of his visit has been made
to the state department by Mr. Morris
is a matter on which officials there will
not comment. Naturally, it is assumed
that he did. The negotiations, however.
are being carried on In a distinctly in
formal manner. Mr. Morris communicat
ing the position of this government oral
ly and the conversations not being made
an official record, at least for the time
being.
Chinese Troops Command Railroad
In connection with the Siberian situa
tion and the report from Peking that
the. Chinese government has voted
$6,000,000 for the expense of an expedi
tionary force, attention was called to
the fact that, the greater portion of the
Chinese army, some 40,000 men, well
armea ana ruuy equipped, now is at
Harbin and vicinity and west of that
place where the troops command en
tirely the Siberian railway and the road
to Vladivostok and the Pacific
These troops dominate the entire situ
ation and can prevent any hostile move
by German prisoners of war or any
other hostile force. Because of then-
presence there officials today pointed
out there ws no apparent reason for
any precipitate action by the'Japanese
It is because they do not believe
there is any immediate serious danger
to Japan in the Siberian situation that
the influence of the United48tates con
tinues to be thrown enfWely on the
side os a non-intervention policy.
Chinese control at Harbin, with the city
of Vladivostok practically under the
gur.s of American, British and Japanese
warships, makes any hostile movement
impossible in the opinion of the Ameri
can officials who are closely studying
tne situation.
Detention Report Discredited
They believe firmly that the Russians
will "find themselves" if they are left
to themselves and also are assured that
the United States and the entente are
friendly and not anxious to take ad
vantage of the present crisis, to enrich
themselves territorially or otherwise.
It is argued that a Japanese-Chinese
expedition Just now would play directly
Into the hands of the Germans and the
pro-German? in Russia.
Administration officials today discred
ited a published report that Ambassa

German Prisoners 'Aid 1 Russians
Lonodn, Mar. 11. (I.. N. S.) German
prisoners of war are reported to be
fighting with the Bolshevik! against the
Cossacks in eastern Siberia. ; , . .
Advices received here today vindicate
I that the Cossacks, under General Seme.
; nof f, had been compelled to retire, after
a brush with the Bolslievtk forces along
the trans-Siberian railway west 7 1f
Harbin.
The Bolshevik troops were equipped
with considerable - artillery and were
evidently under competent leadership.
The possibility of German prisoners y of
! war being used in the Far, East .was
! one of the reasons for the anxiety of tho
! Japanese government. Japan feared
that the Germans would be able to se
cure control of Vladivostok -and might
even plan the invasion of northern
enma. rne number of . German and
Austro-Hungarlan prisoners of war in
Siberia has been estimated at from 45.

Trotsky Resignation Confirmed
The state department today received

strengthens their belief that he is not
being detained by the Bolshevik!. The
state department also received confir
mation today of the resignation of Leon
Trotsky as minister of foreign affairs
for the Bolshevik government
Other advices reaching the state de
partment confirmed the German-Roumanian

Harbin Temporary Headquarters ;
ontler. -l - I By Ralph H. Tamer - '
A Ulnuanlan delegation called I on . Toklo, V March - 1L U. PJ After
conference of prominent Russians at
Peking, it was reported today that Har
bin had been made temporary head
quarters of the provisional Siberian gov
ernment and that Prince Lvoff was
mentioned for premier.
The first, meeting of the foreign ad
visory council of Japan - since the Rus
sian situation became acute was
awaited with Intense interest. Soma
definite announcement of Japan's policy
is hoped for. At present the air is full
of talk of mobilization, but the censor
ship is most strict and officials are
silent.
Intervention in Siberia is approved
here but America is hesitating, not wish
ing t orun the risk of incurring united
Russian hostility, according to belief in
Tokio. '
Tha a 11 to a a re nenflnMnp now tn
reach an understanding as td whether
the Russian situation compels an expe
dition Into Siberia and whether Japan
should Act alone or jointly with mili
tary forces' of other allied countries.
Harbin, reported as temporary head
quarters of the -rovisional Siberian gov
ernment, is a Manchunan town at tne
junction of the Siberian railway, .where
one branch runs to Port Arthur and
