V. S. IN BAD WITH
RUSS OVER JAPS
AT VLADIVOSTOK
Washington, April 8. The landing
of Japanese and British forces -at
Vladivostok- and the bolsheviki ob
jection to the m'ove promise to cause
the State department some concern.
When Japanese occupation of Si
beria was proposed recently, this
government assumed "a "hands off"
policy, and the Russian national coun
cil of Soviets has announced its pur
pose to protest to the United States
against the present step.
America's attitude drew expressions
of satisfaction from the Russian of
ficial press, but developments in
Vladivostok have changed the situa
tion. In the past the United States
often, has asserted its right to land
naval forces to overcome coHitions
of anarchy existing at some foreign
port, where American lives and prop
erty were involved.
Assuming that the American con
sul's report that Japanese citizens
were killed and wounded at Vladivos
tok by unrestrained Russians 'is
supplemented by evidence that the
local bolsheviki . officials either are
powerless or unwilling to punish the
guilty parties and afford adequate pro
tection to foreign life, and property,
officials here fee! thai they cannot
withhold full approval of the action

No Public Hearings on Eesolu

Would Embarass
t U. S. Ally in War.
Watliineton. Anril 8. No oublic
hearings are to be given on the many
resolutions introduced in the house
on the Irish question.
Chairman ..Flood of the foreign
affairs committee today notified all
those who have asked for hearings
that there will be nbne because they
would be an interference and an em
barrassment to a co-belligerent of the
United States.
A letter setting forth this decision
has been sent to large numbers of in
dividuals, organizations, and others
who asked for hearings. John J. Cur-
ley, city collector of Boston, was ohf
Of these. Chairman floods letter
to him says:
Would Embarrass' Ally.
"The serious consideration by the
committee on foreign affairs of these
resolutions might well be considered
as constituting an interference in the
internal affairs of another nation, and
that nation one of our co-belligerents,
and could scarcely fail to prove , a
source of serious embarrassment to a
nation associated with the ' United
States in the war." .
Speaker Clark, Democratic Leader
Kitchin and approximately 135 othsr
democratic and republican members of
the house, together with the socialist
member, joined in 9 message which
tliey cabled on April 28, of last year,
to Lloyd George urging settlement
of the Irish problem. -,

congress on the Irish question have

AN N O UNC EM E NT
OUR Government has requested: that we put at the disposal of
the War Department our entire output of the "makings"
"BULL" DURHAM tobacco.
And we have complied fully, gladly. For whatever the Gov
ernment wants whatever it needs, it must have from us and from
you fully and with a generous heart
We ljave been sending immense quantities of "Bull" to our men
at the front, and at the same time trying to supply consumers at home.
But now we are asked to give all our output: 36,000,000 sacks,
2,000,000 lbs., 100 carloads of "BULL" DURHAM every month.
This call means more than just huge figures to me and I know it
'will mean more than figures to the hundreds of thousands of men every
wh'ere in the country who "roll their own" and who look upon that
little muslin sack of good old "Bull" as a personal, everyday necessity.
It means that the Government has found that our fighting men
need the "makings'.
But, if "Bull" is a necessity to you, here; in the peaceful pursuit of
' your daily life, how much greater its 'necessity to those splendid
Americans who have gone to fight f of youto win this war for you.
1 I Know that you will think of them as I doonly of them. I know
there will not be a single complaint I know that you will give up your
share of "Bull"; noweverlong you have enjoyed" it, however close it is
to you, as you will give up anythingyou have if it is made clear to you
that our forces over there need" it
y That the Government has requested the whole output of "BuIT,
the night and day output of all of our factories, must make this abso
lute need clear to you. .
And 1 know that you will notf orget the little muslin sack gone
for the present on itp mission of hope and inspiration to our boys in
the trenches. " s
- "Bull" will come back, with ribbons of honor. Have no feat.'
