SITUATION IN SIBERIA.
WITHDRAWAL OF AMERICANS. INTERVENTION OPPOSED IN JAPAN. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyrleht. Washington, Jan. 20. The Japanese press is bitterly criticising the departure of the American forces from Siberia as a breach of the Japan-American agreement of August 9, 1919. The press asserts that Japan will not withdraw, but will maintain her position in Eastern Siberia.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. Received Jan. 21, 8.10 p.m. London, Jan. 17. The Tokio correspondent of the Sunday Express states that the Japanese army authorities advise sending 100,000 troops to establish a zone sanitaire in Siberia. Cabinet, however, is anxious to keep down military commitments. The press opposes intervention, regarding the Bolsheviks as too strong.—United Service.
The Times' correspondent at Harbin pictures the awful condition of «East Siberia. Semenoft' has assumed control of Government headquarters at Chita, but is unable to secure co-adjutors owing to the detestation and distrust in which he is regarded throughout the East. Only a few hundred of the troops remain faithful, the rest having joined the rebels. Bolshevism flares throughout Siberia.
