EIadivostok. ian. IS delayed Z BY
4. P.l-American and allied repre-
Sentatives are awaiting an announce
ment of the results of japanese and
American diplomatic negotiations at
Washington regarding Siberia, which
are expected to clear up a peculiar
situation here growing out of the with =
drawal of American forces.
The United States troops have re-
reived orders to evaCuate Siberia, with =
out the issuance by the American Gov
ernmcnt of a statement regarding its
policy toward Siberia and Japan. an
agreement with whom on August o,
1918, brought the American and Jap
anesc expeditions here.
The japanese claim ignorance of any
change from the original japanese
American agreement regarding the
Siberian policy. The official publicity
bureau today issued to the Russian press
the following statement:
The American military evacuation
of Siberia with notice only to General
Oi Japanese commander in eastern
Siberia), creates a profound impression
in Toxic. The American stroke coming
without any notice from the American
Government. from Ambassador Shide
hara. or from Ambassador Morris, or
without even a reply from Washington
to me recent japanese proposals re
gardiug the Siberian situation, is bolt
from the blue to unsuspecting japanese
who are unable to grasp the significance
of the situation. 4"
Summarizing the press comment
which officials of the bureau say may
be considered the peoples view, a state :
ment is issued as follows:
Single handed opposition to the
Bosheviki in Siberia is an exceedingly
heavy burden ON Japan, both in II mill
tary sense and financially. However
it is unthinkable that Japan will with =
draw her forces from Siberia and thus
abandon to the Red country contiguous
to her own territory"

Lewes, Del, Jan. 20.-Thc whisky
liner Yarmouth, which has been safely
towed into New York by the revenue
cutter Seneca. gave the internal revenue
men bad session down around the

cellar didn't seem to know whether he
should take his cargo back to the land
of Manhattan and the Bronx or trust
it to the hospitality of the state of

York saying the Yarmouth was being
towed into the Breakwater and all the
excitement sharps, revenue men, and
moving picture photographers would
turn anxious and eXpectant eyes to see

Then fash would come to the radio
station at Lewes that the gin. etc,
that had been cast on the waters was
returning after not so many days to
New York. And then the thing would
start all over again.
