Proposal That France and 1merica

peace1nakers ir the Far Eastern war has been
made In the last week. and. although the OIL
cials consider that any peace overture would be
futile al the present stage q the conflict. yet
the suggestion leads 20 the belief in high quar-
tiers that France and tho United States viii be-
come the eventual peacernakers.
The suggestion came from one az the most
prominent American railroad men, " no proba bly,

any American He called at the American En-
baSsy and other Official quarters while here. He
believed that Russia would gladly avail herself
OF the opportunity even now. and that tnterna-
uonal influence would favorsbly incline Japan
The suggestion was entirely unofficial and in
formal but g WAS expected that Il would prove
germ for action.
no Official action IS likely at tho present tine.
as It is the accepted view OF the French and
American authorities that neither Of the bellig-
erents would listen 10 any peace overtures.
one Of the highest officials summed up the
situation follows:
