NAVY IS PREPARING
Situation Is Rendered More Acute by Report That German Officers Have Been Seen In the Ranks Fighting With the soIsheviki.

Tokio, March 24-The interest in America and in Europe :n the spossi- bilty of Japanese military interven- ton in the war is duplicated in Japan. Where the question of the despatch Of an army to Siberia not only over shadows everything else, but has ere ated a national problem not ap- preached in importance since the Rus so-Japanese War. The correspondent In this connection, is reliably 1n- formed that Japan, after the frankest exchange Of views with the allies, is still studying the question and has not decided upon it's policy.
 German Officers With BoIsheviki.
 Representative opinion among the Japanese regards the situation as se- rlous and as fraught with possibilities Of danger to the safety and national interests of Japan, as well as to the cause of the allies. The chaos in Si- beria. with battles between opposing factions on the border of Manchuria, is regarded as rendered more sinister by the presence of 40, 900 German and Austrian prisoners who are vir- tually at liberty, and by recent &C., counts that German officers have been seen in the ranks fighting with the Bolshevik.

 Niad1vostok, it is pointed out, could ! land marines in the event of danger to
 the lives and property of the Japanese | The fact that several Japanese were among the killed and wounded lin recent Siberian engagements has 1 encouraged the press more vigorously
