WASHINGTON, March 6. Senator
Lw1b told the senate Japan and Brit
ain must decide Japan's course In Si
beria.. He declared the United States
has no aKreement with Japan regard
lng- Russia, and wishes to set at rest
the prevalent stories of secret American-Japanese
treaty covering th- far
cast and Mexico. He said the "Unit
ed Statea, ffghtlnir for democracy
won't allow any conduct from any
foreign peoples anywhere that will
endanger tho principles of democra
cy." Terms Mario With Britain.
"Whatever Japan's doing in Hlhcrta
or agulnKt Germany Is in compliance
with terms of . agreement, defensive
and offensive mado with Urituin to

any source In the east against etther's
rights. I've . received telegrams from

statements coming from the east,

and opposing Uerman-KusHlan ad

"I wish to say Japan s not in the

States Is not changed by the war.'
Lewis's declaration Is accepted in
many quarters as a guarantee the
United States will not tolerate any
suggestion of militaristic aims by Ja
pan In the far east. . Also that the
United States, tf she has not aJ ready
asked a definite statement of motives
from Japan will keep watch and pro

afternoon will decide whether to pro

Germany's ruthless dlsreaard of In

i The effect on tho Kusslans Is prob
1 lematlcal, but there is a strong feel- ;
ing here that it will arouse the Slavs
to a flshting spirit and drive some
over to the Germans and cause oth-
ers to institute warfare and destruc- !
tlon In Sllerla. As far as is known j
Japan has not planned any extended j
move beyond Vladivostok, the fringe i

Miss Graves class' n English at the
J hifch school took a lesson in criminol
ogy this morning to see how this
' method of detecting criminals would
work out After the first test, the
students were able .to tell what crime
t he criminal had committed.
A list of words were given the stu
dents relating to the crime. A stu
dent was sent out of the room to steal
a pocketlM-k fmm the principal's of
fice. When these words were Riven
him he was to tell the first word that
came into his. mind. Naturally, he
wu id tell somei hi Jig fW-cerning the
theft, and from what he said, the stu
dents, who did not knew what he had
done, were aide to tell exactly what
the crime was.
This Is the first test of this kind
and Miss Graves is well pleased with
her experiment. This method Is oft
en used by detectives on criminals
and is taught In many of the higher
institutions.

Original Three Lines of

Three Defensive Zones.
(HK.VIiy WOOD.)
FRENCH FRONT. March 5.
While loudly proclaiming a gigantic
offensive in the west, the Germans
have been working: day and night be
hind the west lines, building up the
greatest defensive warfare system the
wurld has ever known. It it a tacit
acknowledgement of the allies super
iority and that Germany must end her
war on the defensive. The entire
west front for miles to the rear In
i fact practically back to the Rhine.
has been converted Into one vast field
for a defensive system. The" original
three lines of trenches has been sup-
planted by three defensive xones.
Many Zones of Battle.
The German defensive organisation
and troops. Instead of being concen- '
frated now on the front line, , are
spreading out indefinitely to the rear.
If the front now gives way, ever in
creasing defensive organizations and
; troops will be found to the rear. The
first line is known as the. "zone of
habitual combat." often a sfnglo
trench or shell holes stocked with
munitions and food. After this is the
"zone of grand combats," with trench
after trench for infantry, all sup
ported by concrete forts, fortified
hills, machine gun nests and vast. un
derground caves. After this Is the
"zone of battles," where, when the al
lied armies reach they must give
open battle. Here the Germans are
endeavoring to arrange everything In
advance so they'll have the advan
tage even in open combat.
