BRITISH FAVOR MOVE
Washington. March 9.-The <oming week will doubtless see concrete ilf- velopmenls as to .lapans course to¬ ward  Siberian intervention.
Indications about the Japanese and other Allied embassies tonight were that an early decision is e.\pected. This decision will be communicated to tht^ I'nited States before interven¬ tion is undertaken but the trend of in¬ dications was that Japan is even mure anxious than a week ago to get into the world war wilh a military force In  Siberia,
Lord Cecil's statement of the Ger¬ man menace to Siberia and his ad¬ vocacy of Japanese action inclined some international students to believ/5 that he is paving the way for open British approval of intervention, al- read.v thoroughly decided on. Such approval, despite .4merican lack of as¬ sent, Is entirely possible and would be based on the ground of necessity.
