Japanese and British sailors were landed at Vladivostok on Friday

week. The town was at the mercy of armed robbers, who, in accordance with Bolshevik principles, were murdering and looting. Japanese warehouses had been attacked and three Japanese had been killed. The sailors were landed to restore order and to protect the Consulates. The Bolshevik Council at Moscow at once addressed a protest to the Allied Consuls and uttered vague threats against the Allies. However, in saving Vladivostok from anarchy the Allies have done a good turn to Russia, whatever the Anarchists may say.
