Saturday, Oct. IS. The .lap nnejp Oovcrument not ltnvltig ni yet re plied to the Ainericnn note concerning ro-opprat'on in the administration ot the Trhus-Slbcrlnn nallrond, it i tin derstobti liere that the United States Government lina dlpntchrd a second note on the (subject to. Japan. America, according to report, n.v, in effect, that the length of time Japan 1h taking to reply to mo lormer note in dicates the important o which the Jap anese Government attaches to the sub led at inKiie. and1 intimatei the United States completely sltnres this view of the matter. The note Is said to express gratification in the fait that General Oi, communder of Japanese expeditionary forces in Siberia, lias signified his in tention to bring about complete co operation between Japanese and Amer ican troops. Nevertheless, the United States makes it clear that America is nnxinus that n definite policy relative to Siberia, including the question of the withdrawn! of American troops, be announced, mid in n perfectly friendly tone requests Japan to forward n reply to the original note ns soon as conveni ent. Information has been received by the Associated Tress that the Japanese renlv will bo fortlicominsr in a few dnft. Further investigation seems to indicate that the reason for the delay is the con troversy between the moderates and the extremists and the difficulty of satisfy ing tho military group in frnming a re sponse. It Is apparent here that the result of the negotiation between America and Japan" will determino whether the two countries shall in tho future co-operate In solving the Siberian problem, or whether America is to pursue an independent policy. It has been learned Lit Admiral Kolchak, head of the all-ItussTan Gov ernment at Omsk, is trying to sohe the Siberian crisis, and recently asked the Allies for n credit amounting to $300, 000,000 to be ued for militaiy and economic purposes. At the same time he is said to be seeking additional allied troops to guard the Trans-Siberian Railroad between Urkutsk and Omsk as substitutes for Oecho-Slovak troops who wiil soon return to l'urope. Siberian banks, co-opeiatiug -with the Omsk government, have succeeded in arrancine a credit of $25,000,000 with Japanese banks, the interest rate being 7 per cent. As security they have de posited in he Osaka Mint gold bullion to an equal amount. Negotiations for credits of S3o.000.000 with American banks and SoO.OOO.OOO with English in stitutions hae taken a faoiablc turn.
