LONDON, May 9. — Captain Jean
Seba of the Czech-Slovak army, who
has just reached London from the
Russian port on the Murman coast,
has been engaged for several months
in organizing a Czech-Slovak army
in Russia, composed mainly of men
who were formerly in the Austrian
army and became prisoners in Rus
sia. In an interview with the Asso
ciated Press he said:
"Our army in Russia is so far a
small one, but the men having been
formerly in the Austrian army, are
well trained and are thoroughly ac
quainted with the organization and
methods of the enemy.
“My observations in Russia during
the past few months convince me that
for the present Russia fs like a sick
person who needs breathing space
and a rest cure. I am sure she will
again come into the war. But it is of
prime importance that the Russian
invalid should not be deserted by his
friends or left to his fate.
“With the help of the allies, Russia
can be brought back. There is al
ready plenty of evidence of a reac
tion. The jvorking classes are begin
ning to realize that if Germany is per
mitted to go on, everything will be
lost All over the country there are
local Soviets and other organizations
which will never give in to German
influences.” , 5

LONDON, May 9. — The treasures
of the British museum, including its
priceless collection of mummies, have
been stored for the period of the war
in a deep uncompleted subway which
was being constructed for the use of
the post office authorities when the
war began. The employees of the
postoffices along the line of the sub
way have just raised a protest against
the use of the boring for this pur
pose, asserting that it should be re
served for use as an air-raid shelter
for postal employes.
“Should postal workers or mum
mies use the subway air-raid shel
ter?” asks the Postman’s Gazette ir
its latest issue. “It is nothing shorl
of a scandal that relics of doubtful
value should get choice positions ir
this subway while access is denied
to members of the postoffice staff ir
time of emergency.
"We find a government doing all ir
its power to provide for the safety ol
the shriveled remains of the ancients
at the risk of human lives. We have
no concern for all that is left of the
pharaohs and Cleopatra. They hat
their time on earth many centuries
ago.”
JAPAN SEEKSTO OBTAIN
OIL FROM OLD MEXICE
TOKIO, May 9. — The possibilitj
of the Japanese government securing
oil in Mexico came up before the com
mittee on Industrial Mobilizatior
of the Japanese diet just before ad
journment of that body.
Admiral Kato, the minister of ma
rine, said that the government was
making investigation with regard tc
the oil fields in Mexico but that foi
diplomatic reasons he could not go in
to details. The government was alsc
considering the advisibility of pros
i pecting for oil in Formosa,
Dr. Takahashi, of the house o
peers, suggested that Japan shoult
make endeavors to dig wells in Mex
ico without bothering about the views
of the United States and Viscouni
Kyoshiro Inouye added that so lonf
as the United States does not scruple
about extending her influence in Si
beria, Japan had no reason for re
training from activity in Mexico.
Admiral Kato again said he coulc
not discuss the matter.
The oil question arises from the
fact that the Japanese navy has in
sufficient quantities of heavy oil foj
use in war time and that it will be
necessary to construct storage tanks
as well as to purchase supplies
abroad.
