JAPAN ID REMAIN
 IN FULL CONTROL OF VLADV0ST0K
Decision to Withdraw From
 Siberia Has Not Yet Been Officially Confirmed
sy assoeiatsd prsss

Washington March 6 - Although planning to withdraw the bulk of her troops from Siberia. Japan will not relinquish control of VladivostolS and vicinity, the Chinese Eastern railway and the strategic railroad junction in the trans Baikal region, according 60 official information received here.
 Dispatches from Honolulu yesterday reported that the Japanese government had decided to withdraw from Siberia, beginning March 20. Lack of confirma- tion from Tokio is taken by usually well-informed persons here to indicate that a definite policy has not yet been agreed upon, due to the old conflict be- tween the civil and military authori- ties.
 Japan appears to be proceeding with plans to remove troops now guarding the long line of Siberian railway in the Amur and Maritime provinces. It has been in these long stretches that the heaviest casualties have occurred and the principal conflict with the Russians have arisen
 Japans' plans in the trans BaikaI apparently are stil lin doubt. The Chinese Eastern railway connects with the Siberian line at a point about 100 miles east of Chita. an dit is said that the maintenance of troops at that point would mean control of all the Siberian railway eastward of Chita.
 Meantime, it was learned today that several governments, other than the Japanese. are planning to withdraw their consulates from Siberia in cas the social revolutionists, now in con troll ally themselves with the Moscow government. United States Consul General Harris has ordered all Amer ican vice consuls to rendezvous at vladivostok, but the officials will not be withdrawn. 1t was said at the state department, unless the social revolu- tionists joni forces with the soviet The Italian consul at yladivostok all ready has made plans to leave and the British were said to be prepared to depart at any time
