JAPAN WILL ACT
 ID COUNTERACT
 RUSS|ANDEbAC[E
It Is Thought There Will Be No Delay in Starting Military Campaign
 in Siberia

Washington, March 4.-Military ac- ton by Japan in eastern Siberia to check German Interference and pro- tcct war stores nt VladivOstok is be- lieved here to be imminent. The Unf- ted States has not yet expressed its views on the proposed step, but 1t was said in diplomatic quarters tonight -thnt the Japanese probably would move quickly to meet emergency con ditions. leaving to the pending diplo- matic exchanges development of an understanding with America and all tIie allies upon the scope and purposes of the enterprise.
 While it has no direct bearing upon the situation in Asiatic Russia the news which came today to the Swed- ish legation that Germany has given notice of her intention to occupy the whole of Finland, will tend to hasten an agreement upon Japan's plans. The German explanation to the Swedish foreign office. which has protested against the proceeding that the occu- patton is to restore order and with out intent to take permanent posses sion. is regarded as q 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 terms.

Pfund is said to have made an ex- planation concerning the presence of the apparatus in his laboratory, but the na- ture of it has not been disclosed. He was not taken into custody although it is understood the inquiry has not been completed. His assertion that he had been doing work for the navy was vert fled. but no announcement was made as to It's nature. He is said to have shown the officers the model of a field wireless outfit for communication be- tween points on the battle front.
 Owners of the building said that prior to 1913 Pfund was manager of the Ger man wireless company and that the corporation was the tenant of the tower. It failed to renew the lease in 1913, how ever, and Pfund took over the four floors which he used as an experimental lab

Since Sunday the Germans have left the Americans in comparative peace in their sector near Foul. Probably finding that their attempted forays were too costly they have failed to launch further attacks and even have cut down ma terially their artillery fire and gas shell bombardments. Again the American gunners have worked havoc among the Gcpmss..s bs heavily smelling q iafgN csa. tonment, where troops were assembled
 Near Warneton, southeast of Ypres, the Australians have carried out a big raid against enemy positions. killing at least 50 of the German defenders. destroying dugouts and bringing back prisoners g. Around Lens the Germans have begun a rather intensive bombardment against the British troops, besieging the great coal center.
 The nearest approach to a big battle on the western front has occurred be- tween the French and the Germans in the Verdun sector Here the French troops carried out a brilliant attack against Calonne trenches and penetrated the German positions as far as their fourth line. The point of penetration was over a front of 12OO metres and to depth of 600 metres, and 150 prisoners were taken in the operation. Attempted attacks by the Germans north of the Chemin-Des-Dames, near the Malincourt wood and in Lorraine, went for naught. owing to the accuracy of the French fire.
 In Palestine General Allenbys forces again have dealt the Turks a hard blow,i driving forward their front along 12 miles to maximum depth of 5000 yards. Lit- tie opposition was encountered by the British commander against the Otto- mans, whose morale seems to be de terioating with each fresh attack.

 When the United States entered the war last April and an order was issued that all private wireless plants must be dismantled, the owners of the building notified Pfund, they declared, that the wires would have to come down.
