' Reports reaching Japan from many
quarters in Siberia have convinced
the Japanese government that just
such an attack is to be feared from
Germany; if not directly, then, by stir
ring up the bolslieviki 'in Siberia.
Whether this apprehension is well
founded is declared to be entirely
within the judgment of the Japanese
themselves, though it is probable they
would feel it necessary to convince
their special ally, Great Britain, of the
fact before taking action. .
Having reached a decision, how
ever, all that it would be necessary
for Japan to do in regard to other na
tions would be, as a matter of court
esy, to inform them of its purposes.
As Japan's special ally, Great Brit
ain, is represented as having confi
dence in Japan's intentions and has
sought to impart that confidence to
the United States,' not with a view to
seeking any active to-operattoa in a
Siberian campaign, but simply to allay
any feeling of apprehension that
might develop in this country that
Japan intends to extend its sever
eicrnty over Siberia permanently.
. It is believed that the State depart
ment 'has been convinced on this
point, but does not consider it neces-
sary to record hscii cuner , anirma

HITS PRESIDENT
FOR APATHY ON
FARMQUESTION
Washington. March 6. Govern
ment control and operation of the
packing industry during the war was
suggested by Senator Kcnyon of Icwa
today before the senate agriculture
committee.
Henry Reed, editor of a Chicano
stock journal, was testifying on the
shortage of food, particularly in
meat
"Don't you think eventually it will
be necesscry for the government to
take over the packing industries and
operate them f", asked Senator Ken-
yn- .
"Yes. I do, Keed replied, adding
that the packers are controlling the
meat supply and dictating prices.
"I believe President Wilson's 'b'.'nd
side' is farming and the farmers,"
Reed said. "In nothing he has writ
ten or said is there anything to indi
cate that he has a sympathetic under
standing of the interests of farmers.
I belieye that Mr. Hoover and Sec
retary Houston would do a lot of
things if President Wilson would let
them."

Attack.
Cordon, Neb., March 6. (Special.)
-Two unidentified men shot C Sher
man, a rancher, nine miles north of
Gordon, Monday night, inflicting
wounds from which he died Tuesday.
After receiving the wounds, one in
the arm and the other in the abdomen,
Sherman managed to crawl , to the
barn, mount a horse and ride to the
home of a neighbor. His condition
was such that he could give no in
formation about the men who srot
him, or offer any explanation for the
attack. ,
Sherman was a man of considerable
wealth, which fact leads the authori
ties to act on the theory that robbery
prompted the murder. ;

necessary support in depth for the
front lines. This fact has aroused
speculation here as to who will be se
lected by Oeneral rershing to com
mand the first corps of his army.
Maior-General Hunter Liggett is
known to have acted in that capacity,
but as yet the expeditionary com
mander has not made any recom
mendation. Jt is possible that the French sys
tem will be followed in the American
army so far as the appointment of
corps commanders goes. It is the
custom in France to select any one of
the division commanders in a corps
and to place him at the head of the
corps. He retains his rank as division
commander, however, and in the case
of the American army that would be
a najor-general. If the French prac
tice is adopted, therefore .the grade
of lieutenant-general may be em
ployed only for field army command
ers. confidence of General von Hinden
burgf is at present in the Kalsugana
sector. General Conrad is acting as
adviser to the high command.
Refugee civilians, soldiers and peas
ants from the territory occupied by
the enemy say that in the face of the
stiff resistance of the Italian army
the morale of the enemy was greatly
shaken and many German soldiers
deserted and sought refuge in the
mountains.
