Aug. 14.. -Japan's re ply to Secretary Colby's note making inquiry as to by- what " right that country "to occupying the northern half of Sakhalien Island, and if she intends to continue 1 to occupy that part of Siberia! east of Baikal- lake arid to' continue a 'buffer jstnte" in lower Eastern Siberia, near .Vladivo stok, was received at the i state de partment today. ' ' - .-' ' ; ' While the reply Is couched in the most courteous language and. makes effusive protestations of agreement with the gen eral principle set out in .the American note, it Is understood from sources -close to the state department that Japan does not recede from any of the position she has assumed and to which this govern ment, has taken bitter exception. - . " JAPAIT GIVES EXCUSE" As to the upper half of ; Sakhalien. Japan protests that she was compelled to occupy it for the reason that it Is actually part of the Siberian province of Nlcolaivesk. ,'-f It was in the capital f that province, Japan alleges, that a number of her nationals, including two officials,' were massacred late last spring, and her troops,; she says. . are "now there " to avenge that outrage." Against ' temporary occupation of Nlcolaivesk province for this purpose the American government made no pro test But when half of Sakhalien Island was annexed as well the state depart ment made vigorous representations, - ; Japan's only excuse for occupying the Island Is the pretense that it Is prac tically part Of Nlcolaivesk. With this the state department does not agree. BUFFER STATE DEFENDED As to the buffer state in Siberia. It Is Japan's view, as expressed in the note, that such a state is absolutely essential to prevent the spread of the. soviet irmles, as well as the soviet doctrines to the Far East. -.She alleges that sh has done this in the Interest of the allies and of America as well as in her own interest. . i In this connection It will be recalled J iimnnTiirrnriimiminiiitnniiiiiiii V- 'Jyjes skN j ' S Jyssssss j - "The Thinker" TO SAVE $12 on a single suit of clothes is a stroke of good fortune. .Thir you could do with that $12!

PLOT i WITH TURKS FOR WAR ON BRITISH Agreement to Send Troops and Munitions to Mohammedans Is Said to Have. Been Effected. Constantinople, Aug. 14. (U. P.) A Bolshevik plot to destroy the British! empire ia expected to resuRj soon in a holy war which will test to the utmost, Britain's power in the Mohammedan portions of its do minions. i Details of the plsn have come to the attention of British agents here and steps are being taken to block it. Sources close to Moscow have heard reports that two special commissions were formed there to direct the world wide campaign to overthrow Britain. Early in June, it-is understood, a deputation of Turkish Nationalists went to Moscow and signed an agreement under which the Bolshevtkl sgreed to help the. Turks fight the British, con tributing men and munitions. . The Russians agreed to supply 40.000 Infantrymen and 2000 cavalrymen, and the advance of this contingent was said to have reached the vicinity of Smyrna. There It joined Mustapha Kcmal, Na. land.. 1 . a 1 1 . f 1 n?Wt fl IM f JL tlon, saying Mohammedans "must con sider Englishmen as deadly enemies wherever they are encountered. Oreat quantities of munitions for the Mohammedans were reported to be en route to central points, where they will be distributed. The alleged plot, according to Informs tlon obtained here, calls for a holy war to spread through Mohammedan por tions of the jempire. " The Turkish Nationalists were said to have agreed to set up Soviets In territory controlled by them, and to guarantee to Russia free passage of the Darda nelles. j j A - Berlin dispatch today quoted a Riga dispatch to the Lokal Anzelger ss saying it was reported the Russians had a plan to strike a death blow at the British government and that this In cluded a plot against the life of -Kin George and the sending of money to the Sinn Fein.
