BELIEVED TO HAVE HAD GOOD EFFECT

FLUENcE IN THE JAPANESE
ANSWER TO RUSSIA.

Paris, Dec 23-Confrmation was
obtained from official sources during
the day of the reports that British
Foreign Secretary Lansdowne and
Foreign Minister Delcasse Of France
have within the last few days made
strong representations at Toxic with
the view to averting crisis between
Russia and Japan.
There is reason to believe that
these representations, coming at the
critical moment when Japans reply
was being handed to the Russian min
lister, Baron de Rosen, exercised a
powerful restraining influence This
is especially true Of Lord Lansdowne,
owing to Great Britain being the ally
OF Japan.
The terms Of the Japanese answer
are not yet known here, but owing to
the action taken by Great Britain and
France the officials here are confident
that her answer permits Of continu-
ance of the diplomatic negotiations to-
wards securing common grounds for
an agreement.
Japs Expect First Victory.
The officials of the japanese lega-
ton insist that they do not believe
there is any immediate danger of war
between Russia and Japan and express
the opinion that the dispute will be
settled amicably. They add, however,
that Japan will not abandon any of
her rights in Manchuria and say that
if. a conflict occurs they believe the
japanese will obtain the first victory
