All Tongues Sealed.

The state department would offer
no comment on The situation.
There NaS a cabinet meeting at
which the Japanese offer and our re-
ply were discussed for two hours and
the cabinet members would not say a
word about it.
At the White House no light was
vouchsafed beyond the simple fact
that we had not asSented.
On every hand the details of the
portentOus note was guarded.
Japan Will Go Ahead.
Japan Will go ahead with her pro
gram: she would have liked to have
had the united blessings of the allies
in her enterprise, but she can get
along with the countenance of the
English and French, and the neutral
ity Of the Americans.
She offered to take charge of the
munitions at EladiyOSt0k and the har-
Dor, and so much of the Trans Siber-
ian railroad as she deemed necessary
for her purposes rs part Of her con
tract to safeguard allied interests on
her side of the world. If she can't
go to Siberia as the representative of
a syndicate she is prepared to 90
there for her own protection.
The world moves fast nowadays.
Japan reasons, and while the appear
ance Of Germany in Siberia seems like
a distant possibility, it is no more in
credible than her approach to Petro-
grad appeared Il year ago.
