VLADIVOSTOK, Feb. 1 (Associated Press).-Parades, street meetings and a speechmaking marked the second day today of the city’s complete liberation from Kolchak authority. Red flags fly on every Government building, many business houses and homes.

There is a pronounced pro-American feeling evident. In front of the American headquarters the revolutionary leaders mounted steps of buildings across the street, making speeches calling the Americans real friends, who at a critical time saved this present movement. The people insist upon an allied policy of no interference internationally in political affairs.

The general staff of the new government at Nikolak has telegraphed to the American commander, Major general Graves, expressing its appreciation for efforts towards guaranteeing an allied policy of non-interference during the occupation of the city, also in aiding in a peaceful settlement of the local situation.

Please read one sentence again: In front of the American headquarters the revolutionary leaders mounted steps of buildings across the street, making speeches calling the Americans real friends, who at a critical time saved this present movement.

Hmm – calling the Americans real friends, who at a critical time saved this present movement.
