' i A mighty roar went up as the pa rade began its march down the race track to the strains of "Ohio" played by the "Cox Band" of San Francisco fame. The crowd immediately took "up the words of the song, para phrased to declare '.'We'll elect Jim Cox or know the reason why." Candidates Tie view Parade.'

JAPANESE KEEP SIBERIA IN STATE xOF TURMOIL Troops Stir Up Fresh Fighting Whenever Conditions Show Signs of Settling Down Block Work of Americans. By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leaeed Wire. Washington, Au. 7. While the Japanese are extending their occu pation Of Siberia, peaceful penetra tion of Russia by the Germans is proceeding apace and it is with the Germans that the Japanese expect eventually to make terms, and per haps an alliance. This is the information brought to Washington today 1 Col. Frank F. Blunt, the Chicago railway executive who has just returned from two and a half years service with John F. Steven's American engineers corps in reorganizing and operating the Ttans-Siberian rairoad. Colonel Blunt left with Mr. Stevens in Har bin, Manchuria, a detailed report of his observations of actual conditions not only in Siberia but in Russia proper under the soviet regime. "There is no blinking the fact that Germaqy is actively engaged' in paving the way to acquire domina tion of Russia," said Colonel Blunt tonight. "Curing the two and a half years I spent in Siberia I witnesssed the arrival of Germans in ever in creasing numbers and the same phenomenon attracted the attention of many other American railway men stationed at various points on the Trans-Siberian line. Sending Thousands to Republic. ''I also x know, that ". Germany's peaceful invasion of Siberia is great' ly exdeeded in extent by the sarrie movement in Russia proper into which I penetrated as far as 140 miles fwest to Urals. Germany is sending thousands of shrewed men into the soviet republic where they are settling and gaming the conti dence of the Russians. "In fact, it was not until I got into soviet Russia that the activities and influence wielded by the Ger mans began to attract my attention. As fast as the Soviets extend their lines eastward into -Siberia the Ger mans follow and establish them selves. "There :.s no doubt in my mind that German domination of .Russia is tlje present &'m of Germany, with an alliance' of Germany, Russia and Japan the eventual object. It is a situation fraught with great danger to the future peace of the world." Reds Know of Plans. "Are the bolsheviki aware of Ger many's designs and agreeable there to?" I asked Colonel Blunt. "The soviet leaders know the plans of the Germans," replied the colonel, "but profess to have no fear of them. The bolsheviki entertain no thought of an alliance with the Japanese, whom they hate and whom they are determined to drive out of Siberia. Soviet leaders have assured me that they would fce ready to whip the Japanese in three yers from now, and that they have no doubt they can do it. The bolsheviki tolerate the Ger mans because the Germans are frendly 'and the Soviets want friends who can and will help them. The soviet leaders would prefer the friendship and aid of America to that of Germany, but they feel they, may be compelled to fall back on Germany. The Germans are prostrate now. but in" a few years they will be able to render enormous aid to Russia. Soviets May FalL "The danger is that the soviet gov ernment will not ' endure and that before another year has elapsed it will fall unless it can obtain supplies from the outside world. Then Ger many will get in her work in Rus sia. The government that succeeds the soviet regime will be dominated by the Germans in Russia and that government will "make terms with the Japanese in regard to Japanese occupation of Siberia. I learned ffiom Japanese officers that this is exactly what the Japanese are count ing on. "For the promotion of their own purposes the Japanese are keeping Siberia in a state of disorder. Their troops are scattered all through the territory as far west as Chita. When ever conditions begin to settle down to a peaceful state the Japanese troops stir up fresh fighting. By so doing they not only obstruct the further advance of the soviet forces but they make it appear that the turbulent conditions of the country necessitates the presence of Japanese forces for the protection of Japanese residents. " . "It is also a fact that the Japanese, generally in a friendly way, obstruct ed everything the Americans were trying to do in Siberia." ' Xacht Goes Aground. York, ' Me.. Aug 7.

Thepe are questions that Magis trate ''Neil, in the Adams street court, Brooklyn, was called upon to answer when Edward A. Stoddard, Brooklyn, was arraigned before him on a complaint brought by his wife, Elizabeth. Mrs. Stoddard told the court that she feared her husband's sanity was affected by his service in the war.
