US. MAY FAVOR
JAPANESE MOVE
TOENTER SIBERIA
Agreement Between United
States and Allies Is Be-
lieved Near


London, March =. Premier
Lloyd George visited the Amer
lean embassy Friday evening and
had an important conference
with Ambassador Page, says the
Daily News, which believes the
meeting was in connection with
Japnn'S intervention in Siberia.
1t is quite unusual for a premier
to visit foreign embassies. Such calls
usually are made by the foreign
rlnister.
Reuters Limited has issued the fol-
lowing statement from an authori-
totive Japanese source in London:
Japan has put forward no sugges-
tions regarding any action that may
be necessary as a result of the Rus
sian situation. The plain facts are
that a few days ago Japan addressed
Inquiries to the Allied governments
asking for an expression of their
views on the latest developments in
Russia. There has been no proposal
military or otherwise, by Japan.
IL Is PolHlSu. out LIdl Japan ala
not enter the war under any terms
or agreements with the Allies which
would suggest that there had even
been any question of aggrandizement
in the mind of Japan. There was no
such thought when Japan embark ed
on hostilities and if she has to ex-
tend operations her object will not
be aggrandizement.
The new menace is one directly
threatening the Far East and i'm
mediately involving Japan's security.

Grip the Germans Hand-to- hand and Seem to En- joy Hardships of the
 Fight Game.
MOST DARING ACTION
Americans Are Now Facing Some of the Most Fu- riouS Fighting of the
 Entire War.

WITH THE AMERICANS at St. Quentin, Oct. 3.-The Americans fighting on the Hindenburg line have bee nsubjected to some of the hard est fighting of the entire war.
 Many of them from a brief train ing period, and considered little more than raw recl'uits, have been plunged into the most furious and desperate struggle, ever witnessed between armed forces.
 The Americans have been fight ing day and night, in groups and single handed, often without sleep and only such food as they could snatch between desperate conflicts, and never once have they allowed their lines to even bend, although smashed at time and again by fresh German reserves and greatly out numbered.
 One correspondent declares that on no other battlefield was ever wit messed ,more individual deeds of self sacrifice, bravery and daring and desperate determination to surmount every obstacle, and to hold all positions gained with a disre- gard of life, yet an almSt uncanny ability to sell their lives so dearly as to make the American fighting name" one to be dreaded by foes to liberty as long as civilization stands.
 The German infantry gave the Americans handto- hand fighting, and the Tanks fairly shouted with the joy of a chance to come into close contact with the .enemy, as dead are mute testimonials of the ability of the Americans to fight under any condition.
