' WASHINGTON, March 6. There
will be np serious friction with Ja
pan over Siberia. Officials made this
positive statement today. They de
clared that reports that the United
States had protested against the mil
itary action of Japan was unfounded.
That the 'President, because h? pe-?
lieves Russia will remain a factor in
the war, has not consented td action
by Japan is admitted but, although
withholding assent, the President has
hot done anything to arouse resent
ment by Japan. Meanwhile confus
ion resulting from secret diplomatic
moves by the United States contin
ues to increase. High diplomatic of
ficials insist that they do not know
what the plans and policies of the
United States are.' Until the Presi
dent chooses to make a statement of
our position, speculation regarding
the situation must continue.
FOUR DEMOCRATIC
CONGRESSMEN ELECTED.
New York, March 5. Control or

what they were going to do berore
they received their ballots and they
asked few foolish questions.
The successful candidates were:
seventh district. Kings county.
John J. Delaney, to succeed John J
Fitzgerald.
Eighth district. Kings county, Wil
liam E. Cleary, to succeed Daniel J.
Griffin.
Twenty-first district, New York

Mr. Alex Sherman received a let
ter Monday from his mother bring
ing to him the sad intelligence that
his father, Solomon Sherman, died
near Toblosk, Siberia, on October
29th. The letter was in the malls
for four months.
This was the first news Mr. Sher
man, fcag rceivej fron, hij parents,
In about six months. Deceased was
62 years old and was a tailor by
trade. Their home was at Tokory,
-KovfiO, Lithuania, before the' war
began. ,Thef6 they had a comfort
able home and the aider Sherman
had a prosperous tailoring business.
When the war gong sounded they,
with most all the other residents of
Lithuania, sought refuge in Greater
Russia. They went to Odessa, to
kChernigof and numbers of other
places in search of Safety, food and
work. Finally they started on a
long Journey which had as its ob
jective Tobolsk, Siberia, where, they
were told, there was plenty of food
to be had if one had the where
withal to buy it. They were within
a day's Journey of that city, the let
ter stated, when the father became
very ill and had to leave the train
at a small town. There he died and
was burled. Where the widow and
three small children, aged nine,
twelve and fifteen are now, Mr.
Sherman does not know, though fie
supposes they are still In the vicinity
of Tobolsk.
Exposure to the severe cold of
Siberia together with grief over a
young son who had been impressed
into service in the Russian army
and from whom they had received
no word for a year, caused Mr.
Sherman's death. The son. then
sixteen years old, was on a visit to
Moscow soon after the war started.
He was impressed into service and
was sent to the front. Up to a year
ago occasional letters were received
from him but for a year now the
family had had no word from him.
What has been his fate is altogether
a matter of conjecture.
Mr. Alex Sherman has not seen
his parents since he left Russia
thirteen years ago. Two brothers
are here with him, Louis, who came
from Russia eleven and a half years
ago and Myer, who came over six
years ago.
The Messrs. Sherman have been In
business here for a number of years
past and have many friends who
sympathize with them very deeply In
their sorrow.
JAPAN TO MAKE KNOWN
HER PLANS AND PURPOSES.
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Mar. 5. Japan
win let her intentions regarding
Siberia become known during the next
twenty-four hours, it is understood
here. The Entente Ambassadors at
Tokio have asked Japan, on requests
from their governments, to protect
the Allied interests in all of Siberia.
That the Mikado's government has
consented to do so is certain. This
move, however, has not been partici
pated in by the United States. At
present officials think there is no
doubt that Japan will act with a
force sufficiently large to dominate
the situation. Meanwhile adminis
tration officials have been urging
President Wilson to state the defi
nite position of the United States
In order to prevent conjectures and
misunderstandings.
