JAPAN-RUSS|AN WAR IS SURE
LEGATIONS AT PEKlN ARE OF
THAT OPINION.
The Japanese Press Urges Immediate
Opening of Observation-Disclosures
Take a Ca!mer View-can Net Be-
Iieve the Mikado Will Try to Whip
the Cars Legions.

Fekin, Jan. Am the various for
eign legations here the opinion is pre-
valent that war between Japan and
Russia is inevitable. This opinion is
based on the latest dispatches from
Toxic and upon the conviction that it
is not a question of detail which sepa-
rates Russia and Japan, but the vital
principles whether Japan possesses
the right to a voice in the settlement
of questions of Russian occupation
of Manchuria. Russia has all along
denied this right, and unless her re-
ply shows that she has receded from
this position, which is not expected
to be the case, it probably will provoke
an ultimatum from Japan, whose de-
termination to resort to arms in sup
port of her claims is not questioned.
Advices from Manchuria represent
the Russian officials there as being
surprised at Japan's readiness to
fight. They expected that she would
submit at the last moment, as she did
in 1895, when she surrendered Port
Arthur at the bidding of the Eu-
ropean coalition. The Russian Of
icials rely for support ON the same
powers that aided the Russian gov
eminent on that occasion. Moreover.
the Russians have confidence in their
ability to win in the event of war.
Among the junior officers this feeling
takes the form Of despising the en-
envy.
General Yuan Shat Kai, commander
in chief of the Chinese army and navy,
has memorialized the throne praying
to be relieved of all his minor offices
so that he may devote all his energies
to the organization of the army.
Nothing but War.
Toxic, Jan. 4.-War with Russia is
regarded here as unavoidable and the
press is urging the immediate open
ing Of hostilities.
All of the banks are Withholding
funds and it is believed this is the re-
suit of official instructions. The gov
eminent has completed and perfected
arrangements for the transportation
of troops and supplies and the people
calmly await developments.
The continued dissemination of op-
timistic views from Berlin causes
genuine surprise and. regret here.
st. Petersburg Talks Peace.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 4.-Diplomatic
circles confidently expect that the
Russian answer to the Japanese pro-
posals will be handed to the Japanese
foreign office by Baron de Rosen, Rus
sian ambassador to Japan, within a
very few days and do not expect grave
results to follow.
In other quarters the conciliatory
attitude of both governments inspires
belief that the answer will pave the
way to further negotiations If, in
deed, it does not directly lead to a
pacific settlement of the trouble.
The characteristic note in the press
today is the doubt about the attitude
OF the United States in the event Of
war between Russia n Japan.

partisan issues, for they involve much
that comes home to the individual pride
and individual well being of our people.
Under conditions as they actually are
good Americans should refuse, for the
sake of the welfare of the nation, to
change the national policy. We who are
responsible for the administration and
legislation under which this country dur
ing the last seven years has grown so
greatly in well being at home and in hon
orable repute among the nations of the
earth abroad do not stand inertly upon
this record, do not use this record as an
excuse for failure of effort to meet new
conditions. On the contrary, we treat the
record of what we have done in the past
as Indictment to do even better in the
future. We believe that the progress
that we have made may be taken as q
measure of the progress we shall continue
to make If the people again intrust the
government of the nation to our hands.
We do not stand still. We press steadily
forward toward the goal of moral and
material well being for our own people OF
er peoples in the interest not merely of
this country, but of mankind. There Is
not. a policy, foreign or domestic, which
we are now carrying out which ii would
not be disastrous to reverse or abandon.
If our opponents should come in and
SnOulu not reverse our pOlCleS, Inen Lney
would be branded with the brand of bro
ken faith, of false promise, of insincerity
In word and deed, and no man can work
to the advantage of the nation with such
brand clinging to him. IL, on the other
hand they should come In and reverse
any or all of our policies. by just so much
would the nation as a whole be damaged.
Alike as lawmakers and as administrators
of the law we have endeavored to do our
duty in the interest of the people as a
whole. We make our appeal to no class
and to no section, but to all good citizens,
in whatever part of the land they dwell
and whatever may be their occupation or
worldly condition. We have striven both
for civic Righteousness and for national
greatness, and we have faith to believe
that our hands will be upheld by all who
feel love of country and trust in the up
lifting of mankind. We stand for en-
forcement of the law and for obedience to
the law. Our government Is a govern
ment of orderly liberty equally alien to
tyranny and to anarchy, and its founda-
ton stone is the observance of the law
alike by the people and by the public
servants. We hold ever before us as the
all important end of policy and adminis-
tration the reign of peace at home and
throughout the world, OF peace which
comes only by doing justice. Faithfully
yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
