WASHINGTON Dec. 15. Conversa-
tiouu have been begun between the Jap-
anese and America ou the question' of
Siberia.
The advance of the soviet foreea to-
ward Eastern Siberia and the retirement
of the Kolchak government to Irkutsk
in the hhore of Ijike Kaikal is viewed
with alarm by Japancwe as it brings the
boltihevik menace nearer her doors. It
is felt that any closer approach of the
liolshoviki might imperial Japanese na-
tional interest.
If the Kolchak government does not
fecuprrate sufficiently to oppose greater
strength in stemming the bolshevik ad-
Vance than has been the case in the past
few months Japan may be forced to take
active measures for the protection of her
' interests.
It 1h believed tbat these measures
would be in the nature of a military
expedition to form a wall against the
bolsbeviki in Siberia and to prevent any
overflow to the bokhevikl into Mongolia
Korea or Manchuria.
It has been intimated that before in-
augurating a further military policy in
Hitjeria. should such a move become
necessary. Japan will engage iq an ex-
change of views with the Lnited States
and will poesibly suggest Increased mili-
tary co-operation on the part of this
government.
It has been indicated by high official
Quarters that should such a suggestion
be made by Japan the United States
could not accede to it in view of the
position of this government with refer-
ence to the Kolchak administration.

Efforts to Save Natural
Gas in State Planned
Houston Post Special.
AUSTIN. Tcxa.;. Dec. IV The oil aud
ga- division of the railroad commission
has under consideration means by which
the great amount of gas now being per-
mitted to go to v.aste in West and North
Texas may be conserved and utilized for
the benefit of the people of Texas. H
is probable that Major Itutte. chief su-
pervisor will call a conference of the
producers aud of the ga-i pipe line men
to consider the subject some time in
January.
No provision has been made for han-
dl nc the West Texu.s gas; but there are
daily accounts of tremendous volumes
beinir shot inlo the air when oil wells
are being drilled in.
To compel a closing down of the wells
in order to save the gn would result in
the loss of the well within a short time
in nil probability aud this the chief su-
pervisor has hesitated to do: although the
law gives him that authority. Hut he
is convinced that some method can be

enormous Christmas
tree on which there is dis-
played thousands upon thou-
sands of gifts for women for
children yes and for men.
There are aisles and aisles of gifts:
everywhere you go everywhere you
turn you find suggestions.
"One thing I like about Levy's." said
a little woman today. "Everything is so
conveniently and tastefully displayed.
' One can just walk down the aisles and
in a few minutes solve all of one's
Christmas problems "
Practical gifts is the Levy slogan.
There is little here of what is com-
monly termed "Christmas Goods."
Christmas preperation at Levy's means
the careful assembling of vast quenti-
ties of regular merchandise and NOT
a large collection of fancy articles
which may have much of the glitter of
Christmas but of little or no practical
value after Christmas is over.
Those who wish to select remem-
brances that are sensible and substan-
tial will find Levy's the ideal store in
which to buy because they will find
the same practical merchandise and
the same high quality that are here
on all other occasions.
