sian formal reply regarding the con-
vening of The Hague conference is not
expected till next week. In the mean
time the views of other powers are
being ascertained through the Russian
representatives abroad. While there
is no reason to believe that Russia can
agree to participate in conference
during the war there is every indica-
ton that Russia will not only not re-
sent the proposal but that her reply
will be of a cordial character.

the subject between Foreign Minister

that any mother can give it to her
