HOURLY EXPECTED.

NEWS OF JAPAN LANDING “LET US TRUST HER.” (Received This Day at 9.15 a.m.; ' NEW YORK,, March 5. Washington correspondents of New York newspapers state that the news of Japan’s military action in Siberia is hourly awaited. It is generally believed, owing to the strict censorship ot Toltio. that the announcement of Japan’s. action may be delayed until the expedition arrives in Siberia. ' “World’s” Washington correspondent says perhaps the Japanese are already in Siberia, while a message to the “Times” records the growing opinion in Washington that the Allies should be willing to trust Japan to evacuate the territory without definite

guarantees. The “Tribune” says editorially—“By breaking faith to-day Japan could divide the whole of Asia with Teutons, but there is no dishonest treaty in Japan’s diplomacy. Let us trust her.” Three wireless installations were discovered in New York, including one plant in a Broadway skyscraper. A DELICATE SITUATION. ( Received This Dnv at l£!.2fi. p.m.) WASHINGTON, March 5.
