RUSSIA ON DEFENSIVE.
Cars Forces Will Only Operate to
Prevent Japanese Crossing YuIa.

Berlin, Oct. 23.-The German govern
ment takes cheerful view of the Rus
so-Japanese difficulties. Russia had con-
veyed assurances to Germany that she
will keep strictly on the defensive, even
if Japan occupies Korean ports in force.
Japan may act aggressively toward
Korea without Russia being affronted
thereby or making a counter stroke.
The only limitation Russia places on
Japanese action is that she must not
cross the Yalu river.
The impression that might be de-
rived from the foregoing definition of
Russian policy, it is pointed out here,
is that the negotiations are nearing an
end favorable to Japan. But the Asso-
ciated Press is informed that while the
result of negotiations is still pending,
precautionary military preparations on
both sides are going on.

BECOMES A LIVE ISSUE.
Boundary Decision May Influence
Canadian Elections.

st Johns, N. b, Oct. 24.-The con-
sentative newspapers in Eastern Can
ada say that the Alaska boundary
award will become a live issue in the
general elections Throughout the coun
try. Some of the papers declare that
Canadians are to blame for the deci-
sion unfavorable to Canada, and they
place the responsibility upon the gov
eminent at Ottawa for permitting the
boundary question to be arbitrated, in
view of what is termed the anti-Cana-
dian makeup of the commission.
The talk of Canada becoming an in
dependent country as the result of the
award is not regarded seriously here.
