The new government is aeeured of wide public support.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.) . . TOKYO, July 14. A report from Washington that Japan had declined the request of the Allies to intervene in Siberia on any ground whatsoever is authoritatively declared to be untrue- The Japanese attitude has not changed, and America's reply on the subject is still awaited. An unofficial report states that in Japan the almost unanimous feeling is that the dispatch of troops to Siberia at present is not neceseary.—(Renter.)
