RIFLE FIRE OF
l’AKIS. Sept. II. The effe- I n!
American rille tire has been one o
the great surprises to the enemy ilur

front. As a result the title is Iasi
coming hack to its own as the tie
pemlable weapon for infantry lighting
For a time its place was challenged
by the hand grenade, and sole.' of tin
■ Fnglish and French experts took tin

the grenade, so that the rifle was sel
dom brought into use
i F.ven with the two weapons avail
able, the troops had become accus
tomed to use the grenade rather than
the rille. and an enemy fugitive would
often In- chased until his pursuer wac
near enough to throw a grenade when
a rille hall would have brought down
the fugitive from a distance.
All this has been (hanged, however
by the open fighting of the present
offensive and (he unusually i tteetlve
use the Americans have made of thr
rifle. General Pershing has main
tained from the first that the rille was
the Indispensable weapon for infan
, try, and while the grenade has not
been neglected, every American unit
r lias been thoroughly trained in rille
practice
Many of the national guardsmen, as
well as the regulars, were crack rifle
shots, winners in tournaments and
veterans of the rifle ranges maintained
at home. These ranges have become
a notable feature of the training on
(his side, until the whole American
organization has heroine specially pro
ficient with the rilie.
German prisoners all recount the
same story, that the greatest surprise
came from the impetuosity u the

the sweeping fire of the An rican
ritle caused the greatest eon emo

TOKIO. Aug. 1 (by mail).—The
l ulled Slates' suggestion to Japan tot
a joint military expedition to Vladi
vostok to help the Czechoslovaks
precipitated an internal political cri
sis in Japan The question of inter
volition in Siberia had been an Issiiv
here so long that it had become a
delicate question tor the Japanese
and one. also, on which the <;ountrv
was more or less divided.
For many months the entente na
tions had been urging Japan to inter
veno or to join with them in urging
the I'nited States to adhere to a plat
of intervention On the other hand
leading Japanese statesman counseh-i
■ a steadfast policy of co-operation will
the Failed States on all matters ner
tabling to Hussia In a military setist
Japan got read yand needed but n
word from' her allies, including tin
I'nited States, to send an army into 11
Siberia.
Then suddenly the I'nited States
announced her intention of dispatch j
ing troops to Vladivostok, not in the |
sense ot intervention, but to help the
Czechoslovaks, and simultaneously
juggested that Japan send a number
| ol t roups.
Many people in Japan felt that if
military action came jn Siberia Japan
would receive the mandate of fin
powers to act for them, and that Jap
anese troops would chiefly make up!
the expedition, other nations merely |
s*‘iidlng contingents to give tin- move
ment an inter-allied tone. The Ameri
can initiative, therefore, took Japan
bv surprise.
As a representative put it: "The
idea of Japan being placed on a par
with an occidental power in an ex
pedition intended for a spot lying, as
it were, at our very floor, was cer
tainly not pleasant to the Japanese,
v ho believe that ol all powers of the
world Japan is most vitally inter ]
ested iti the fate of Kastern Siberia." 1
Such was the first impression ere- ]
ated by the Amerhan note, but lur
, iher relief tion is believed to have ‘
i convinced the Japanese that the
I nited States' initiative was in no
sense a reflection on Japan. The joint (
.expedition was therefore accepted in j
principle, but a great controversy was
raised over tin* question whether Ja *
pan herself should not intervene in
Siberia for the protection of her na
tional interests.
The military party is believed to
have been distinctly in favor of inter
ventioii, this plan having the support
of the general staff of the army, of
Marshals Crime Yamagata. and. to
seme extent, of the cabinet, which is
presided over by the premier. Mar
Klin 1 Count Teuraohi.
Length) cits, ussinns ensued he .
tween ministers of state, the members ,
ol the recently appointed diplomatic (
advisory council, and also the leaders i
< f the political parties who were j
< ailed in for consultation.
The rejection of general interven
tion at this time may he ascribed,
first, to the growing influence of the
business interests who favor complete
* o operation w ith the ('nited States in
Japan's own interest; second, to the
opposition of the political parties
v hose hacking was necessary in oh
t.lining necessary diet appropriations,
and third, to the decision of leaders
generally that Japan should move
slowly and, above all things, work
hand In hand with the (Tilted States.
Linked with these considerations
vns the hesitancy of the political
groups to support a military pro
ram which would insure indefinite
life for tin* present cabinet. The Te
i a licit! ministry is officially wedded to
no party, and the political parties in
Japan arc striving for a constitutional
regime of part) cabinets. with a con ,
sequent increase ot power in the;
l house of representatives, as the hod)
representing the voters The defeat'
of tin* interventionists is regarded in
iime quarters, therefore, as a victory
for constitutional progress, an imi
dentally as a blow to the influence of
the elder statesmen, long time power
till in deciding the destinies of the!
empire.
