JAPANWING FAVOR ‘INSIBERIA PLEDGES Promise Given to Withdraw When Conditions Warrant. Shantung Progress. By the Assoviated Press. | A sweeping disclalmer of any design againstg the territorial integrity of Russia, coupled with a pledge to with- draw the Japanese troops stationed in Siberia as soon as orderly conditions are restored, was presented to. the arms conference far eastern commit- tee yesterday by the Japanese delega- tion, and was received with a general show of satisfaction hy the represent- atives of the other principal powers. At the same time the long-continued Shantung negotintions also approach- «d their conclusion. At their thirty-first meeting to dis- cuss the subject the Japanese and Chinese virtually completed an agree- ment on all of the issues involved, ex cept the central question of the Tsing- tao-Tsinanfu railroad, and there were signs of impending developments re- garding that. Mr. Soo, Washington representative of the unrecognized Chinese government of Canton, an- nounced that a railroad settlement al-} I ready had been reached. American Communication.

The exact purport of the Amerfcan note was not disclosed, but it was said to have pointed out that the American forces having been withdrawn from Siberia, there was much speculation as to why the Japanese troops remained. American spokesmen would not dis- cuss the subject last night in advance ©of-the formal statement of view to be made at today’s committee meeting, Dbut it was learned inat the American government was deeply impressed with the Japanese statement and was disposed to regard it as a solemn pledge. behind which the conference could not properly go. Moreover, in both American and British circles- it was_ conceded that there might be much justice in the claim_that present conditions in Siberia make some out- side protection necessary to safeguard | | the rights of foreien nationals. The Chinese declined to reveal thei attitude toward .the Jananese poligy and the ounly note of criticism came from outside the conference, statement issued by the delegation sent to Washington by the unrecog- nized far eastern republic of Chita.

Esthonia, January 24.— Russian _soviet authorities, ac- cording to Petrograd newspapers, have ended abruptly the career of a monk, who, olaiming to be a | second Messiah, attempted to fol- low in the footeteps of the notori- ous Russian monk, Rasputin. The monk, Viadimir Tarabayev, founded at Novala Derevanlu, near Putrograd, a church of’ his own. He' claimed wcnderful healing pewers and the credulous flocked to his ecll. As the number of his folicwers, chiefly women, grew, Tarabayev, according to soviet officials, selected among them a number whom he called his “angels,” who occupled his house with him. 5 L He was sentenced to three years and four months,_in prison. {COL.

From a subcommittee of experts a continuance of the present interallied control of the Chinese eastern road. with detailed provistons for financing and policing. The Chinese member of the subcommittee. however, dissented | from the financing article, proposing! an international commission of fivan- cial centrol. and from the propesition !to continue policing of the line by Japanese troops. As a result, the sub- ject was transferred to a new sub- committee of delegates headed by Elihp Root. 2 As another detail of the Chinese settlement, was requested to prepare a list of the foreign contracts and leases re- garding which they previously had requested an adjustment as to time of duration. There was another mention of the “twenty-one demands.” but It was re- asserted to be the purpose of the com- mittee not to touch on that subject until the Shantung problem was out of the way. An American resolution to prohibit. importation of arms into China was held in abeyance to be pre- sented later. In their Shantung meeting Japanese and Chinese agreed on a set- (1;? province, China agreeing to pur- to be fixed later after local in- ves:igation. The actual time of with drawal also is to be determined in future exchanges. This concluded the list of disputed subjects except for the Tsingtao- Tsinanfu railroad, although said the two groups would meet again to take up “obscure details.” It is con- sidered possible that they may di cuss aiso the railroad question. o which they have been in deadlock for several weeks. The Japanese sald they had received instructions from Tokio regarding the road, and Inti- mated that the salt-mine settlement had heiped open the way for a.break- ing of the deadlock. Ma Soo’s announcement of a railroad settiement was coupled with a decla- ration that the Chinese and Japanere delegates were holding promulgation of the agreement in abevance to gain the dramatic effect of a last-minute rapprochement. The accepted terms, he said, provided for payment for the road by China In installments over a period of twelve vears. but with the option of making-full payment. if desired, within three years. China also had agreed, he declared. to the appointment of a Japanese traffic manager and Japanese accountant for the line. SPECIAL NOTICES. i BALE_OF PERSONAL EFFECTS, HOUSE- i) 0008, ETC..

Mr, Brifour said he theaght it was not unfitting that the senior member of Lhe British empire delegation, and probably the man. who hed known the greatest number of something hefore was brought years, shiould say this touching ceremony Lo & conelusion. Lord Bryce was a scholar, a trav- eler, a. historlan, a politician, a aiplomat—ana in’ all those great spheres of activity he was himself a master. It was well to note that each of these spheres of activity affected the other. 1If Lord Bryce was one of the greatest political writers of his day It was because he knew politics, not merely as & scholar, not merely as a_traveler, not mercly us a his- torian, not merely as a politician, not | merely as a diplomat, but bucause he studied the political activities of mankind_from «ll those puinte of | w. fZach reinforced other, ench added its quota to the admirable result well de- scribed, by the chairman, by Mr. Root and by' Mr. Jusserand. He tieed say no more. Those in the room who knew him would ad- mit_all that could said in his praise as a writer{ as a publicist, as a diplomat and as a politician. They would add with unanimous voice that he was also one of the most_delightful characters and one of the most sympathetic observ- ers and thinkers which their age had produced. He had died in the full- ness of life and under the best of circumstances, in the middle of his activities, with this great list of suc- cesses and accamplished deeds. Which of those present could hope for a better ending? High Oficial Tribute. Mr. Balfour asked to make one fur- observation. Doubtless both on this side of the Atlantic and the other there would be many tributes paid to the memory of this great man; but he was convinced that no tribute that could be paid to him would equal in Lord_ Bryce's estimation that which was being paid in this historic gath- ering. His praises had been pro- claimed by the most distinguished cit- izens of the country where some of is greatest work was accomplished and which had been the theme of his greatest writings. They had spoken in the hearing of one of the most im- portant conferences of the peoples that had ever taken place in any country. Those who had taken part in it were the most competent judges of his memory. They included states- men like the chairman, men of the world-wide authority of Mr. Root, the French ambassador, who, to all the qualifications conferred by long ex- perience as a colleague of Lord Bryce and warm affection for his person, added that of a knowledge of the English language, literature and his- tory which Lord Bryce himself could not excel and which_ was the envy of every Englishman. While these were the speakers, who were the hearers? They were_the representatives of nine great powers drawn from all quarters of the globe. That they should desire to do Lord Bryce honor, that they should welcome such an occasion as and that his claims on ourwgratitude and affection should have been so admirably expressed by such great authorities would, Mr. - four was convinced, could Lord Bryce have foreseen it, have given him greater satisfactioh than any of the many honors which the civilized world had delighted to pay him. He begged to thank the chalrman for the course he had taken. Raflway Report Referred. The committee had before it the re- port of the subcommittee of . tech- nical advisers on the Chinese Eastern railway, which it was decided to re- fer to a subcommittee of delegates composed as follows: For_ the United States, Mr. Root; for Belgium, Baron de Cartier; for the British Empire, Sir Auckland Geddes; for ina, Mr. Koo; for France, M. Sarraut; for Italy, Senator Albertini; for Japan, Mr. Hanihara; for the Netherlands, Jonkheer Bee- laerts van Blokland; for Portugal, Capt. Vasconcellos. The chairman (Mr. Hughes) then said_that as other matters in regard to China were for the time being postponed, the next subject on the agenda was Siberia. Baron $hidehara said that, if the discussion on the Siberian problem ‘was to be proceeded with, it might be of interest for the committee to know exactly the intentions and aims of Japan in regard to Siberla, and, with the permission of the chairman and of the committee, he would make & concise statement In this respect. He then read as follows: The military expedition of Japan to Siberia_was originally undertaken in common accord and in co-operation with the United States in 1918. It was primarily intended to render assist- ance to the Czechoslovak tr:‘?n who in their homeward journey 088 _Si- beria from European Russia, found themselves in gravé and pressing danger at the hands of hostile forces under German command. The Japa- nese and American expeditionary forces, together Wwith: other allied troops, fought thelr way from Vlad- ivostock for into the region of the Amur and the Transbaikal provinces to protect the railway lines which af- forded the sole means of transporta- tion of the Czechoslovak troops from the interior of Siberia to the port of Viadivostock. Difficuities which the allied forces had to encounter in their operations in the severe cold winter of Siberia were immense. U. 8.\Withdraws In January, 1920, the United States decided to terminate its military un- dertaking In Siberis, and ordered the withdrawal of its forces. For some time thereafter Japanese troops,con- tinued alone to carry out the duty of guarding several points along the Transsiberian railways in falfiiliment of interallied arrangements, and of affording facilities to the returning Czechoslovaks. The last column of Czechoslovak troops safely embarked from Vlad- {vostok .in September, 1920. Ever since then Japan has been look- ing forwird to an early moment for the wi .wal of her troops m Siberia. The maintenance of such troops” in a foreign land is for her a costly and thankless undertaking, and she will be only too happy to be relieved ‘of such respomsibility. In fact, ~the evacuation of the trans- bajkal and the Amur provinces was already completed in 1920. The-only region~ which now remains to be evacuated is a southern portion of the Maritine privince, around Viad- ivostok. and Nikolsk. It will - be appreciated that for Japan the question of the withdrawal of troops from Siberia is not quite as simple as it was for other allied po In the’ themselves in Siberia long before the Bolshevik eruption, and were_there entirely welcomed. _In 1917, prios to the joint American-Japanese military enterprises, the number of such reai- dents was already no less than in 9,717.

He dwelt particularly on the success of the negotiations of the Inglish- speaking peoples under the ‘“new diplomgcey.” He pralsed Secretary Hughes -for his work as conference chairman, characterizing him as “fair, patient, wise, resolute and vigilant.” Lord Lee was the only speaker, as former Attorney General George W. ‘Wickersham, who also was on the program, was taken with a slight illness and had to retire to his home.

While the hardships and losses thus caused the Japanese in the Transbaikal and the Amur provinces have been serious enough, more ex- tensive damages are likely to follow from the evacuation of Vladivostok, in which a larger unmber of Japanése have alwavs been resident and a greater amount of Japanese capitel Invested. Dificulty Faced by Japan. There is another difficulty by which Japan is faced in proceeding to the recall of her troops from the Maritime province. Due to geographical pro- pinquity, the general situation in the ‘districts around Vladivostock and Nikolsk is bound to affect the se- curity of Korean frontier. In par- ticular, it is known that these dis- tricts have long been the base of Korean conspiracies against Japan. Those hostile Koreans, joining hands with lawless elements in Russia, at- tempted in 1920 to invade Korea through the Chinese territory of Chientao. They set fire to the Jap- anese consulate at Hunchun and com- mitted indiscriminate acts of murder and pillage. At the present time they are under the effective control of Japanese troops stationed in the Maritime province, but they will no doubt renew the attempt to pene- trate into Korea at the first favora- lble "?Dpnrtunlly that may present tse! ’ Having regard to those considera- tions, the Japanese government have felt bound to exercise precaution in carrying out the contemplated evacu- ation of the Maritime province. Should they take hasty action with- out adequate provision for the fu- ture they would be delinquent in their duty of affording protection to a large unmber of their nationals resident in the districts in question and of maintaining order and se- curity in Korea. It should be made clear that no part of the Maritime province is un- der Japan's milifary occupation. Jap- anese troops are still stationed in the southern portion of that province, but they have not set up any civil or military administration to dis- place local authorities. Their activ- ity is confined to measures of self- protection against the ~menace to their own safety and to the safety of their country and nationals. They are not in occupation of those dis- tricts any more than American or other allied troops could be said to have been in occupation of the places in which they were formerly sta- tioned. Anxious for Stable Authority. The Japanese government are anx- ious to see an orderly and stable au- thority speedily re-estabilshed in the far eastern possessions of Russia. It was in this spirit- that they mani- fested a keen interest in the patriotic but ill-fated struggle of Admiral Kol- chak. They have shown readiness to lend their good offices for prompting the reconciliation of varjous political groups in eastern Stiberia. But they have carefully refrained from sup- porting one faction against another. It will be recalled, for instance, that they withheld all assistance from Gen, Rozanow against the revolution ary movements which led to his over- throw in January, 1920. They main- tained an attitude of strict neutrality, and refused to interfere in these movements, which it would have been quite_easy for them to suppress if they had so desired. In relation’ to this policy of mnon- intervention. it may be useful to re- ter briefly to the past relations be- tween the Japanese authorities and ‘Ataman. Semenoff, which seems to have beeri a source -of popular mis- giving and speculation. It will be re- membered that the growing rap- prochement ® between the Germans and the bolshevik government in Rus- sia In the early part of 1918 naturally gave rise to apprehensions in the al- lied countries- that a considerable quantity ‘of munitions supplied by those countries and stored in Viadi- vostok might be removed by the bol- sheviks to European Russia, for the use of the Germans. Ataman Sem- enoft was then in Siberia and was or- ganizing & movement to check .such bolshevik activities and to preserve order and stabllity In that region. It was in this situation that Japan, as well as' some of the allles, began to give support to the Cossack chlef. After'a few months such support by the other powers was discontinued. But the Japanese were reluctant to abandon thelr friend, whose efforgs in the allied cause they had originally encouraged; and they maintained for some time thelr connection with Ata- ”in Semenoff. They had, however, ino intention whatever of interfering iin the domestic affairs of Ruasia,and when it was found that the assi ance rendered to the Ataman w likely 'to complicate the internal sit- uation in ed all ms sllber: they‘urmhupton : with him and no sup| o 3’?‘}3‘3& has since been extended to him by the.Japanese authorities.

By the Awoviated Press. Mgr. Luigi Sincero, one of the most important prelates in the papal curia, as a result of the changes incident to the death of Pope Bene- dict, it was said here today, will automatically become secretay of the conclave, a position second only to that of membership in the sacred college. At first canon and professor in the seminary at Vercelli, in Piedmont, Mgr. Sincero some Yyears ago was calicd to Rome as auditor of the holy sacred tribunal of. tite rota, the court which, among other things, is entitled to grant annulment of mar. riages between Catholics. He also { collaborated with Cardinal Gasparri in his codification of the canon law and is now secretary of the sacred college. | Frequently Made Cardisal. The secretary of the conciave is frequently made a cardinal by the new Pope—in fact. alinost imme- diately. sists him in puiting on the pontifical robes and, kneeling before him, hands him the white cap which the pontiff puts on his head. In turn some Popes have placed their red caps on the heads of the kneeling secretaries ot the consistory, thus showing their in- tention of raising them to the purple. Cardinal Merry del Val was secre- tary of the conclave which elected Pope Pius X, who appointed him im- mediately pro-secrelary of state and conferred upon him the red hat on the first consistory of his pontificate. in _November, 1303, Merry del Val ‘'was then only thirty-eight years old. Pat Cap in Pocket. In the following conclave, however, Benedict XV, when Mgr. Boggiani. secretary of the conclave, presented him with the white cap, took off his red ome, slowly folded it and put 1t in his pocket. In fact, Mgr. Boggianl was not made a cardinal until more than two years later, in the consistory of December 4, 1916. At the election of Pope Plus VII, which took place in Vienna because his predecessor had been persecuted by the French republic, as he himself was by Napoleon, the conclave, it _is recalled here, was held in a mon- astery of the Servites and for want of the proper officials the rector of the monastery was asked to act as secre- tary of the conclave. Once Pius had been elected, the gec- tor knelt before him and preserged the white cap. The new Pope began folding his red cap, but the rector took courage to remind his holiness of the custom of placing the red cap on the head of the secretary. The new pontift, recalling that the rector was 2 Servite, made a play on words and replied: !You will be served. GETS CAMP BRAGG POST. Maj. Robert F.

Should ade- quate provisions be arranged on the line indicated, the Japanese govern- ment will at once proceed to the com- plete withdrawal of Japanese troops from the maritime province. The occupation of ‘certain points in the Russian province of Sakhalin is wholly different, both in nature and in. origin, from the stationing of troops in the maritime province. His- tory affords few instances similar to the incident of 1920 at Nikolaievsk, where more than 700 Japanese, cluding women and children, as well as the duly recognl sul_and- his family and "his official staff, were cruelly tortured and mas- red. No nation worthy of respect sacs 'wlll possibly remain_forbearing un- der such-a strain of provocation.

Under the actual condition of things, Japan found no alternative measure of re- pri: province of Sakhalin oul satisfaction.
