Makes Discussed Action Im
peratiye Diplomats Say
London, Mar. 5.—The British,
French and Italian ambassadors
in Ttokio intended yesterday or to­
day jointly to ask Japan to take
the necessary steps to safeguard
allied interests in Siberia, accord­
ing to the daily mail.
The newspaper adds that the
American ambassador was not ex­
pected to join the request, but
that no disturbing conclusions are
to be drawn from this fact as no
American opposition is expected.
Washington, D. C., Mar. Mili­
tary action by Japan in eastern Sil
Via to check German influence and to
protect her war stores at Vladivostok,
|s believed here to be imminent. The
Jnited States has not yet expressed
|ts views on the proposed step, but it
iras said in diplomatic quarters to
light that the .Japanese probably
trould move quickly to meet emerg
icy conditions, leaving to the pend­
ing diplomatic exchanges develop
lents of an understanding with Am­
erica and all the allies upon the scope
ind purpose of the enterprise.
Huns to Occupy Finland.
While it has no direct bearing upon
the situation in Asiatic Russia, the
news which came Monday to Swed­
ish legation that Gennahy has given
fiotice of her intention to occupy the
yhole of Finland will tend to hasten
in agreement upon Japan's plans. The
Soman explanation to the Swedish
foreign office, which has protested
gainst the proceeding, that the oc
supation is to restore order and with
jut intent to take permanent possess­
ion, is regarded as a very clear indi
tion of what the Teutons may un
iertake in any part of Russia now that
|the. Bolsheviki have been forced to
icept their hard peace demands.
Preparations Secret.
Officials and diplomats here profess
ignorance of what preparations have
been made by Japan for the opera­
tions about to be undertaken. As a
latter of course secrecy has been ob­
served and a strict censorship in re
ird to the Siberian question is in
llorce at Tokio. Possibly the next word
to come out of Japan on the subject
be an announcement of something
icomplished.
In this connection it is recalled that
it-the beginning of the Russo-Japan­
ese war, the Japanese acted without
heralding. Before there was any such
formality as a declaration of war, a
iRussian fleet had been smashed and
|the war half won.
Method Not Question
It has been stated in official quar­
ters that this is no concern of the
(entente allies nor of America how
Japan goes about the task, once the
(question of policy is settled. If the de
Icision is reached to give Japan a free
luauft lit eastern Siberia, it is now cou
Iceded that no other military or naval
(power is in uosition to render her any
•substantial aid owing to the lack of
lavailable forces.

Chicago, 111., Mar. 5.—The effect of
I orders of the food administration, rel
lative to the disposal of cold storage
[poultry and egges entered Monday's
[hearing of the federal trades commis­
sions investigation of the packing
housie industry. A Chicago poultry,
egg and produce dealer testified in re­
sponse, to questions by Francis J.
[Heney, counsel for the commission,
I
that "there seems to be a lack of con­
fidence' among the trade" in the' food
administration rules. The witness, H.
f.S.Jones, of the Schweizer Commis
Lsion Co., told of the experience of his
['company in connection with the food
['administration's rule that cold stor­
age poultry of 1917 should be disposed
of December 1, January /I and March
Loses Won't Tjy Again
The witness declared that a stock
of small poultry, elapsed by the trade
as lights, was sold by his firm in obed
I fence to the administration rules at
a loss and that the firm had not re­
stocked its storage house. 'We would
iiot try it again after that experience,"
he said.
'My
Judgment is" said the witness,
I in response to a question concerning
I thestate of /mind of the poultry deal­
ers "that the trade will take any
rale without question. But that since
this investigation began the full con
fiiieace of the trade has been disturb­
ed. If the trade should lack confidence
in honesty of the present investigation
hjr„ yon, Mr. Heney, the lord only
knows what wouild happen. We might
have, another Bolsheviki. If the hon­
esty of the present Investigation is
proved the trade will go any limit to

year to make prompt answer to pub­

to packing house employes to confute

"Soft Soap" Plummer
Letters were introduced which dis­
cussed persons qualified to assist in
the compilation of the book of infor­
mation. Passing attention was given
by Mr. Heney to newspapei comment
on the incident of a package of soap
and toilet articles having been sent
by Armour & Co., to Major General
E. H. Plummer at the Camp Dodge
cantonment where Armour & Co.,
were permitted to erect a temporary
depot at the camp.

tween Armour officials made refer­
ence to the position of the war de­
partment at cantonments of the nat­
ional army.
Shows Methods Used
At the conclusion of the reading
of the correspondence on this subject
which included a letter from Armour
& Co., to its contract department sug­
gesting a "little assortment" to the
General, Mr. Heney said:

(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS)
Although the military operations
along the western front in France and
Belgium daily are growing in magni-
securing government bus-1 tude until it seems apparent that
fierce battles cannot much longer be
delayed, the situation in Russia con­
tinues to hold an absorbing place in
public interest throughout the world.
Scant advices from Petrograd are
coming through, but those that are
finding their way out of the turmoil
ridden capital indicate that while the
Germans have ceased operations in
Great Russia, following the signing
of the peace compact with the Bolshe-[
viki, they now are striking against!
Finland, and that in the south Aus
tro-Hungarians are making inroads in-1
to Podolia in an endeavor to drive out I
the Bolsheviki and thus secure an un
trammeled hold on the country upon
which so much dependency has been
placed for the feeding of the Teutonic
I allies.

Since Sunday the Germans have left
the Americans in comparative peace
on their sector near Toul. Probably
finding that their "attempted forays

New York, N." Y., Mar. 4— It became
known today that agents'of United

First reports today were that the
plant, of a new type, was powerful
enough to transmit or receive mes­
sages from Germany, and that through
an ingenious araiigement, no "aerials"
were essential to its operation. It was
said that two iron structures on the
top of the building served in their
stead. The truth of these reports was
scouted by agents of the building.
