March . The United States Is In. agreement trlth Japan. Great Rrltain and the other co-belligerents on the principle of action in Siberia, but the details remain to be worked out. This became known today, as the Cabinet met'wlth President Wilson to discuss the subject. White House officials were disturbed tonight over published reports that the statement had been authorised that the United States was not In accord with the attitude of the allies toward the Japanese plans. It was explained that no statement had been authorised ex cept that the United States had not given Its assent to the action under consideration. Mala Itiariple Agreed On. The principle upon whh&h all parties to the exchanges are said to be agreed is that If German Influence is working harmfully In Siberia, and If there Is Imminent risk of the loss of the mill t.try stores In Vladivostok, Japan will be Justified In using whatever measure of force that may be necessary to main tain the peace In the Far East. Differences of opinion are understood to relate to the measures of support to be given to Japan In such an under taking, One diplomat remarked today that publicdiscussion of the Siberian ques tion seemed to loss sight of the exist ence, of a special tresty between Great Britain and Japan, making It obllga lory upon the latter to protect not only her own Interests but that of her ally as well on the continent of Asia. Treaty Provision Cited. . Under this treaty. It Is held. In diplomatic quarters that, while, as a matter of courtesy It behooved Japan to keep the entente allies and the United States Government Informed of her purposes. It waa not necessary to make any proposition to the United States Government and probably not to her allies except Great Britain. It was explained at the State De partment that no direct proposal had been received from Japan regarding Siberia.

In the face of this situa tion, wlth the vessel listing toward the starboard side, the men assigned to this boat stood calmly at their post until they received another call, Mr. Mummey said. Mr. Mummey wrote that tt was truly remarkable how the big body of men aboard the vessel marched to their respective lifeboat stations following the explosion of the torpedo, which Btruck squarely In the engine-room. "The sea was rough and I imagine many boats were capsized," he wrote. "I saw many poor men In the water, and helped pull some back to safety. Two hours after the explosion I slid down a life rope to a destroyer." Mummey concluded his letter with an impression of the spirit of the men who survived the Tuscanla.

The Republicans made spirited con tests in every district, but their show ing fell far below their expectations. The biggest surprise was in the 21st Congressional District, where the Re publicans were confident of winning. because of the recent gerrymander of the district in the interest of the Re publican party. The Democrats were not at all sure of carrying the district, but their candidate won out by a plurality of 2102 votes. Socialist Favor Badly. In the 22d Congressional District, which takes in a part of the Upper East Side of Manhattan and part of the lower section of the Bronx, the So cialist vote exceeded that of the Re publicans. On the whole, however, the Socialist fared worse than the Republi cans. . Th evote by districts was as follows: Seventh Gayor, Republican, 7087; Delaney, Democrat, 10,253; Frazer, So cialist, 1805; woman vote, 7059.
