THE SEATTLE STAR STAR REPORTER B JAPS' REIGN OF TERROR Peaceful Villages in Siberia Shelled by the Mikado’s Gunboats BY JACK MASON VLADIVOSTOK, Russian Siberia.—(By Messenger across the Pacific.)—I am just back from a thousand-mile trip—| each way—to the ruined city of Nikolayevsk, scene of the ‘frightful massacre of Japanese soldiers and “White” Rus-! sians by the Bolshevists. No, other’newspaperman has been able to visit that dis- |trict of horror and desolation. Around it the Japanese army draws a ring of bayonets. Travel overland and by steamer alike are forbidden. All jcommerce is cut off. By fortuitous circumstances I went} with the Red Cross steamer Erivan, carrying relief to Rus- | sian refugees. No other vessel has reached there except army transports from Japan, JAPAN RULES GREAT PROVINCE BY MILITARY TERROR To understand the ominous world-importance of what is jnow happening over here you must recall what HAS hap- pened since 1917—and visualize definitely the big map of Eastern Asia. ‘The maritime province of Siberia stretches like a gigantic fringe—50 to 200 miles deep—along more than 3,000 miles of irregular coast bordering the Sea of Japan, the Gulf of Tartary, the Sea of Okhotsk and the north Pacific ocean. It runs from Korea (gobbled by Japan in 1910) clear to the frozen Arctic. , Vladivostok is its ocean port, the outlet to the sea for a vast Siberian hinterland. | This great maritime province Japan has seized. She rules lit with military terror. ¢ Behind it, to the west, is the large Amur province, which jalmost touches salt water at the mouth of the Amur river. It is fertile for colonization and rich in minerals, This, also, Japan has grabbed and Prussianized, Jaapn got her tochold when the allies sent thelr joint expedition for the avowed purpose of helping 60,000 stranded Czech soldiers get out of Siberia, Bach ally was to furnish 6,000 soldiere—and NO MORE. They were to guard and operate the railroad while the Czechs came thru, and then leave Siberia, ALLIES WITHDRAW. EXCEPT THE JAPS Did they withdraw? Yos—as to Americans, English, French and Italtan. And the Japs? They have a big army in Siberia right now, altho the tant of the Czechs reached Viadivostok, or vicinity, long ago, and only lack of transport delayed a «mall remnant from «ailing until August. When the first allied contingents landed in 1918 Japan's looked extra numerous to the other allies, Official inquiry at Tokyo brought the in- genious response that thru some regrettable “misunderstanding” TWELVE thousand, instead of STIX thousand troops, had been sent. From the outset there was constant disorder tn the sectors assigned to Japanese troops, The other allied troops, in sectors equally exponed, had Uttle trouble, “To quell the dixturbances” Japan obtained permiasion of the other nations to bring in “a few more” soldiers. The “few more” amount to §,000—making 20,000 in all, More transports arrived, dumping addéitional treops—always to put down some “threatened” Bolsheviet uprising. Sometimes Jap terroriam and outrage turned these threatened uprisings into actualities, as might be expected. Events couldn't have happened better—for Japan—if Japan had ecraftily planned tt so, Japan's army in Siberia multtplied—now without even the formality of FREDERICK & NELSON FIFTH AVENUE AND PINE STREET , DOWNSTAIRS STORE | Warm Bathrobes For Cozy Leisure Hours $6.50 HE good style and generous fullness of these Robes is sug- gested in the one sketched.

This I know from a source I am not at liberty to reveal Far and wide over Siberia stretches the “unspeakable Jap scar.” Scarce a hamlet, or isolated peasant home, but suffered terribly in the constant turmoll, pillage, rape and murder—all the abominations of soldiers free to do their will. Typical ts what happened to the once prosperous village of Ivanoka, on the Amur, far from the railroad. Without warning a Japanese Cos mack detachment opened fire on the town. FIVE HUNDRED AND SIXTY CHILDREN were made orphans; 200 homes were burned. The remnant of inhabitants fled to the hills. Thieves looted what was left of the town. Japanese soldiers burned the homes not destroyed by shell fire, Such intense indignation did this arouse among the allied forces that Japan made an “official explanation.” It is a cynical, hypocritical docu- ment, expressing “great regret” and “heartache” that it was “necessary” to resort to these “repressive measures”—because the people of Ivanoka “continued to SYMPATHIZE with and harbor Bolsheviks.” “Nothing was left, therefore,” it mays, “but for the Japanese command to execute the severe yet merited punishment of the POPULATION of Ivanoka.” Scores of towns were similarly outraged, whole populations punished for the acts, or suspected acts, of individuals, GUNBOATS SHELL VILLAGES TO MAINTAIN “LAW AND ORDER” By the fall of 1919 a Jap expedition had reached Nikolayevek—600 miles down the Amur from the railroad at Harborovsk, and 1,000 miles by water from Vladivostok. Gunboats patrolled the Amur to maintain “law and order”’—by shelling river towns suspected of harboring red sympa thizers. I personally saw little settlements that had been thus destroyed. In many villages the local Russian officials—not rede—bravely tncurred Jap vengeance by sending appeals, on behalf of mass meetings of the inhabitants, begging protection from the representatives of the United States and other allies. Some 270 Jap soldiers spent the long, cold winter of 1919-20 at Niko layevak, with frequent disgraceful orgies. In joint occupation of the town was a detachment of Russian “white” soldiers, under Jap control. Bitter hatred of the Japs sent the Siberian peasants flocking to the red standard, under the anarchist Trepetzin and his consort Nina. j On January 28, 1920, Trepetzin surprised and captured Fort Tchnyrach, a few miles below Nikolayevsk. Japs who escaped fled to the town. Trepetzin turned the big guns of the fort on the Japanese barracks and wireless station. These were captured February 6 and the town itself was surrendered February 29 by the Japanese and “white” forces, ‘Then began the somber final act of the tragedy of Nikoldyevsk, cutm!- nating in the massacre as spring was freshening the Amur valley. It produced some resulta, Troops began to gall back to (Tomorrow's installment of Mason's report will cover the climax of hor- ror in Nikolayevsk.) JAPAN BLAMES CHINA FOR BANDITRY ON KOREAN BORDER BY HENRY W. KINNEY TOKYO, Oct. 10.—Melayed.)—The Japanese foreign office tofay issued a lengthy statement charging laxness by the Chinese government is re- sponsible for co-operation between Koreans and Chinese bandits on the Manchurian border. ‘The statement said that Japan will make representations to the Chinese government immediately, The foreign office declared that Chinese soldiers aent to preserve orler Joined the outlaws and that the recent attack on Hunchun, Manchuria, by a combined force of Koreans and Chinese followed. A number of Jap- anese were killed in the Hunchun raid. The Japanese government has sent troops against the bandits, and it was stated that they are now engaged.
