BY JOHN EDWIN NEVIN Washington. D. C, Mar.' 6.—The United States bas not assented to Japan sending a military expedition into Siberia. The United States baa not protested against Japan sending a military expedition Into Siberia. So far as tbe United States government is concerned, it believes that Japan is satisfied with its position. Tbis became known today tn connection with the Involved situation in the Far East. Because of the conflicting reports dealing wltb the Siberian question and the various rumors that a critical situation was developing the International News Service is authorized to present the above statement of facts. Tbey describe the situation exactly as lt exists at the present moment. The Japanese government ls fully informed of the reasons why the United States did not deem lt wise to assent to lta proposed military program. In this connection It can also be stated as a fact that no note has been sent to Tokyo. Rather, the position of the United States was conveyed in a friendly, Informal manner which bas Increased rather than diminished, the friendship between the two nations. The United States does not fear tbat Japan will go into Siberia wltb either imperialistic or Improper motives. It is fully recognized tbat this territory ln the far eaat is properly within Japan's sphere ot Influence. And tbe suggestion that Japan—and other nations—act in tbe case was presented to the United States by ita allies ln the present war. They pointed ont that many Oerman and Austrian prisoners of war in Siberia would prove a very serious menace to tbe pacific should they capture the Siberian railroad. So far as official Washington knows today, Japan has not yet entered Siberia. Japanese and Chinese forces are at Harbin, but that is as far as they have gone up to the present time, officials believe. Washington, March 6.—Tbere Wtll be no serious friction with Japan over Siberia. Ofltcliils made this posit iv? assertion today. They said that reports that the United States had protested against military action Siberia were unfounded. That the United States, because the president has been convinced that Russia will remain a factor in the world-war, bas not assented to J*_i_. acting is admitted. But in withholding his assent, Ihe prealdent bas not taken any action which will arouse resentment ln Japan, officials who sbould know, declared today. . Meanwhile the confusion resulting from the secret diplomacy of tbe United Statea continued to increase here. High diplomatic officials instated that tbey did not know Just what tbe policy of tbe United States toward Japan and its Siberian plans actually was. They pointed to the tact that London -newspapers, which ara supposed to sound the government's view, have declared that the United States was in sympathy wtth aggressive action in Siberia as proof that a policy of "hands o_T," even though lt was passive ln character, as expected will result ln misunderstandings in London, Paris and Rome. However, administration officials said that what on the surface seemed to be confusion would be easily Ironed out when tbe president sees fit to talk. It ls understood, however, tbat tbe real reason for the change of fron* on the part of the United States, and the decision not to publicly endorse military action la Siberia is the attitude ot Ambassador David R. Francis. He ls understood to believe tbat it will be Impossible for Germany to impose a made-ln-Germany peace on the Russian people. Mr. Francis is understood here to have reported that tbe rank and file of the Russians themselves were so strongly antl-Oerman that if the Bolsheviki indorsed tbe peace terms demanded by Germany, it would be ousted from con trol. Tbe Russians had ta'ken extraordinary precautions to prevent their wa: supplies tailing into the hands of the Oermans, according to the Francis dispatches.

SCHOCH STUDIO OVER BAUGHMAN'S. _f__ Nation's Shipping Program Is Menaced by Present Situation. Washington, D. C, Mar. 6.—Pending the outcome of the appeal to President Wilson to be made by Wm. L. Hutcheson. president of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners to intervene ln the controversy between the metal trades unions of the American Federation of Labor, and the carpenters, the next big move will have,to come from the shipping board, Hutcheson declared today. Preparations for the appeal to the President are now being completed. Despite the fact that the shipping board left witb organized labor, decision as to whether the shipyards working agreement now in force should be amended to meet the view* of the carpenters at the expense of the metal trade workers, Hutcheson takes the attitude that the flgbt has not been transferred from shipping boafd officials to tbe metal trade workers. "If the shipping board wants wooden ships built, lt will have to make the move pending our appeal to the President," Hutcheson said before leaving. Hutcheson attended tbe meet ing today ot the labor federation. "It would appear," he said, "from the attitude ta'ken by tbe shipping board, that they do not want wooden ships built, or at least want the steel ships finished first, so that they wtll be in a position to further assume an Indifferent attitude toward tbe carpenters." With tbe American Federation of Labor officials and the onetal trades unions deadlocked witb Wm. L. Hutcheson, president of tt* Brotherhood of Carpenters aad Joiners, over the demanda of the latter, the only, hope ot settlement Of the carpenters' controversy Wltb tbe shipping board lies today with Preeident Wilson. Following the all day conference yesterday, between Hutcheson, Samuel Oompers, metal trades representatives. Assistant Secretary ef the Nary Roosevelt, and shipping board officials, efforts of the carpenters' lead ers to force amendment of the shipping yard agreement to meet Hutcbe- son's demands, came to naught. Today, Hutcheson and his followers are preparing to appeal to President Wilson. It their appeal falls, then another atrike ot ship carpenters is Imminent unless the government takes over the shipyards. Such ls the implied threat, made by carpenters' brotherhood officials. Hutcheson's statement following his failure to get tho metal trades to recede from their position that the carpenters ahould not have special priveleges at the expense of tbe otter shipyard workers,' is taken to mean that he will not attempt to control his men. , "If President Wilson does nothing," Hutcheson declared, "then we are through', and it is up to the government to keep the men ln line. Tbay struck laat time, and only returned to work in response to tbe President's appeal ln the belief that the matter would be adjusted to theis satisfaction." Washington.

United States Has Not Taken Stand As To Japan's Policy Washington Has Neither Consented to Military Invasion of Siberia Nor Protested Against Such a Move—Japan Said to Be Satisfied With Position of President Wilson.

BY JOHN EDWIN NEVIN Washington. D. C, Mar.' 6.—The United States bas not assented to Japan sending a military expedition into Siberia. The United States baa not protested against Japan sending a military expedition Into Siberia. So far as tbe United States government is concerned, it believes that Japan is satisfied with its position. Tbis became known today tn connection with the Involved situation in the Far East. Because of the conflicting reports dealing wltb the Siberian question and the various rumors that a critical situation was developing the International News Service is authorized to present the above statement of facts. Tbey describe the situation exactly as lt exists at the present moment. The Japanese government ls fully informed of the reasons why the United States did not deem lt wise to assent to lta proposed military program. In this connection It can also be stated as a fact that no note has been sent to Tokyo. Rather, the position of the United States was conveyed in a friendly, Informal manner which bas Increased rather than diminished, the friendship between the two nations. The United States does not fear tbat Japan will go into Siberia wltb either imperialistic or Improper motives. It is fully recognized tbat this territory ln the far eaat is properly within Japan's sphere ot Influence. And tbe suggestion that Japan—and other nations—act in tbe case was presented to the United States by ita allies ln the present war. They pointed ont that many Oerman and Austrian prisoners of war in Siberia would prove a very serious menace to tbe pacific should they capture the Siberian railroad. So far as official Washington knows today, Japan has not yet entered Siberia. Japanese and Chinese forces are at Harbin, but that is as far as they have gone up to the present time, officials believe. Washington, March 6.—Tbere Wtll be no serious friction with Japan over Siberia. Ofltcliils made this posit iv? assertion today. They said that reports that the United States had protested against military action Siberia were unfounded. That the United States, because the president has been convinced that Russia will remain a factor in the world-war, bas not assented to J*_i_. acting is admitted. But in withholding his assent, Ihe prealdent bas not taken any action which will arouse resentment ln Japan, officials who sbould know, declared today. . Meanwhile the confusion resulting from the secret diplomacy of tbe United Statea continued to increase here. High diplomatic officials instated that tbey did not know Just what tbe policy of tbe United States toward Japan and its Siberian plans actually was. They pointed to the tact that London -newspapers, which ara supposed to sound the government's view, have declared that the United States was in sympathy wtth aggressive action in Siberia as proof that a policy of "hands o_T," even though lt was passive ln character, as expected will result ln misunderstandings in London, Paris and Rome. However, administration officials said that what on the surface seemed to be confusion would be easily Ironed out when tbe president sees fit to talk. It ls understood, however, tbat tbe real reason for the change of fron* on the part of the United States, and the decision not to publicly endorse military action la Siberia is the attitude ot Ambassador David R. Francis. He ls understood to believe tbat it will be Impossible for Germany to impose a made-ln-Germany peace on the Russian people. Mr. Francis is understood here to have reported that tbe rank and file of the Russians themselves were so strongly antl-Oerman that if the Bolsheviki indorsed tbe peace terms demanded by Germany, it would be ousted from con trol. Tbe Russians had ta'ken extraordinary precautions to prevent their wa: supplies tailing into the hands of the Oermans, according to the Francis dispatches.

SCHOCH STUDIO OVER BAUGHMAN'S. _f__ Nation's Shipping Program Is Menaced by Present Situation. Washington, D. C, Mar. 6.—Pending the outcome of the appeal to President Wilson to be made by Wm. L. Hutcheson. president of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners to intervene ln the controversy between the metal trades unions of the American Federation of Labor, and the carpenters, the next big move will have,to come from the shipping board, Hutcheson declared today. Preparations for the appeal to the President are now being completed. Despite the fact that the shipping board left witb organized labor, decision as to whether the shipyards working agreement now in force should be amended to meet the view* of the carpenters at the expense of the metal trade workers, Hutcheson takes the attitude that the flgbt has not been transferred from shipping boafd officials to tbe metal trade workers. "If the shipping board wants wooden ships built, lt will have to make the move pending our appeal to the President," Hutcheson said before leaving. Hutcheson attended tbe meet ing today ot the labor federation. "It would appear," he said, "from the attitude ta'ken by tbe shipping board, that they do not want wooden ships built, or at least want the steel ships finished first, so that they wtll be in a position to further assume an Indifferent attitude toward tbe carpenters." With tbe American Federation of Labor officials and the onetal trades unions deadlocked witb Wm. L. Hutcheson, president of tt* Brotherhood of Carpenters aad Joiners, over the demanda of the latter, the only, hope ot settlement Of the carpenters' controversy Wltb tbe shipping board lies today with Preeident Wilson. Following the all day conference yesterday, between Hutcheson, Samuel Oompers, metal trades representatives. Assistant Secretary ef the Nary Roosevelt, and shipping board officials, efforts of the carpenters' lead ers to force amendment of the shipping yard agreement to meet Hutcbe- son's demands, came to naught. Today, Hutcheson and his followers are preparing to appeal to President Wilson. It their appeal falls, then another atrike ot ship carpenters is Imminent unless the government takes over the shipyards. Such ls the implied threat, made by carpenters' brotherhood officials. Hutcheson's statement following his failure to get tho metal trades to recede from their position that the carpenters ahould not have special priveleges at the expense of tbe otter shipyard workers,' is taken to mean that he will not attempt to control his men. , "If President Wilson does nothing," Hutcheson declared, "then we are through', and it is up to the government to keep the men ln line. Tbay struck laat time, and only returned to work in response to tbe President's appeal ln the belief that the matter would be adjusted to theis satisfaction." Washington.
