Telcfunken plants at Sayyillo. n. r..

In room In a tower OF the office
building at Ill Broadway. while II was
disconnected. It could have been set
up in half an hour, experts declared.
The raid was made by United States
Marshal Mccarthy, an army intelli-

and other government agents. They
were refused admission by Pfund. who
occupied the four floors OF the tower
as n laboratory. He took the stand
that he was doing experimental work
for the navy and that they had no right
to interfere. He unlocked the door
however. when the officers threatened
to break it down.
Pfund is said to have made an ex-
planation concerning the presence of
the apparatus in his laboratory. but

Next Word May Be Report of
Something Accomplished
in Asiatic Russia.
GOVERNMENTS REFUSE
TO DIVULGE DESIGNS
Allies Fear Germany Will
Take Steps to Obtain
Material Aid.

Washington, March Military ac-
tjon by Japan in eastern Siberia to
check German influence and protect
war stores at Eladivostok. is believed
here to be imminent. The United
States has not yet expressed its views
on the proposed step. but it was said
In diplomatic quarters tonight that the
Japanese probably would move quickly
To meet emergency conditions, leavin.,
TO the pending diplomatic exchanges
development of an understanding with
America and all the allies upon the
scope and purposes of the enterprise.
Fear Germany.
While it has no direct bearing upon
news came today to the Swedish Ie-
cation that Germany has given notice
OF her inetntion to occupy the whole
OF Finland will tend to hasten an
agreement upon Japans plans The
German explanation to the Swedish
foreign office. which has protested
against the proceeding, that the oc-
cupation is to restore, order and with
cut intent to take permanent possess
sion, is regarded as very clear in
dication of what the Teutons may un-
dertake in any part Of Russia now that
the Bolsheviki have been forced to
accept their hard peace demands.
Won't Divuise Plans.
Officials and diplomats here profess
ignorance of what preparations have
been made by Japan for the opera
tions about to be undertaken. AS a
matter of course secrecy has been OBJ
served and strict censorship in re-
gard to the Siberian question is in
force in Toxic. Possibly the next
word to come out of Japan on the sub
Ject will be an announcement of
something accomplished.
In this connection 1t is recalled that
at the beginning of the Russo Japan
csc war. the Japanese acted without
heralding. Before there was such for
mality as a declaration of war, a Rus
sian fleet had been smashed and the
war was half won.
Up to Japanese.
II has been stated in official quar-
fcrs that this is no concern of the
entente allies nor of America how
Japan goes about the task. once the
question of policy is settled. If the
decision is reached to give Japan a
free hand in eastern Siberia, 1t Is now
conceded that no other military or
naval power is in position to render
her any substantial aid owing to the
lack Of available forces.
In seeking an understanding as to
scope before going on record as sup
porting the Japanese action the Amer
lean government is understood to hold
that while 1t has every confidence In
the proper intentions of Japan il
would be easier to convince neutral
nations and moreover would enable
America and the allies to defeat any
German design to organize discordant
elements In Russia, on the German
eide, were there some formal assurance
that Russian integrity was not to suf-
fer. A high official today expressed
the opinion that for this reason the
situation was very delicate and re-
CURED very careful treatment at the
hands of the press to avoid embarras-
