WASHINGTON, March 11.-Publi-
cation Of a, press report that Ambas-
sador David Il. Francis and his Jap
anese diplomatic associate, Ambassa-
dor N. G.. Uchida, were being detain-
ed in RUSSIA by the Bolsheviki caused
much concern here today.
There was no official confirmation
of the rcpot and most Officials believ-
ed il was a mistake. However, they
made it very plain that any such ac-
ton at this time would calse com
piications, the result of which could
net be forSeen.
The State Department today receiv-
ed cablcgram/ frcEl Ambassador
Morris. in Sweden, saying he had re-
cceived telegram from Ambassador
Francis at Vo!ogda. The fact that
no details were given leads State de-
partment officials to believe that tho
message sent by Francis was purely
routine, and strengthens their belief
that he is not being detained by the
Bolsheviki.
