WASHINGTON. March 5.-Japan ap-
pears about to plunge into Siberia with
an armed force. This action is ex-
pected with intense approval while
American sanction will probably be
withheld for the present at least
That was how the Japanese-S Siberian
situation shaped upon today after a
week of speculation.
Japans action is thought under way.
II IS known that mobilization is under
way. Military bills were ready for the
Giet, indicating the imminence of Japan
ese military moves. 1t i. believed free
hand will be given Japan TO guard en-
tente supplies at Tladivostok and the
Siberian railroad and that her interven-
tion may arouse fighting spirit among
the Slavs.
While the japanese movement is i'm
minent German drives against Russia
have aroused unfavorable comment in
neutral diplomatic quarters. Sweden is
aroused at the Finland activities. South
America is growing more pro-aIly.
AS seen here Germany is seeking in
her acts to make certain that the grain
of Ukrainia Is kept open for her regard
