PREVENT SIBERIA GRAB
Expect Japan and o. S. to Take Hand
to Preclude German Seizure.

London, Feb 2S.-A speech made
Sunday by Viscount Motono and re-
ports from Paris as to Japan's posi-
Bile activities in view of the German
advance to Russia are given promi-
nence by the morning newspapers.
The Times says it understands the
statement of the Japanese foreign
minister is regarded IN well informed
atiar ters as an authoritative declara-
ton on Japan's policy. The Daily
Mail says:
General Foch's appeal to japan
and the United States to cooperate in
confronting the Germans in Siberia is
answered by Viscount Motono as far
as Japan is concerned. If an allied
expedition in which Japan and Amer
lea would necessarily have leading
parts could control the Siberian rail-
way ano with it the rich food raising
and m neral bearing districts of ST.
IBERIA, Il heavy counter stroke would be
dealt to Germanys advance. Japan's
service in the allied cause already is
considerable; it is not impossible that
she will soon add to it,
Announcement was made in Wash
ington Wednesday that Japan had
sounded the entente powers and the
United States concerning joint military
operations in Siberia. Negotiations on
the subject between United States and
japan are still in progress
