1.-THE term independent action nat
urally included the opening of hostili
ties. The fact that Russia was unable
to understand in that light is of course
no reason swhy Japan should be held
responsible for the misinterpretation
made by Russia. 1t is the almost
unanimous opinion of international iur-
lists that a declaration of war is not an
indispensable prerequisite to the open
ing of hostilities. Indeed, it has been
the common practice in recent wars TO
declare war after hostilities have beer
begun. Japan's action, therefore is
not open to the least criticism in this
regard From the standpoint of inter
national law it must be understood
that the charge made against her does
not come with good grace from Russia
inasmuch as there are not only many
historical instances of russia herself
resorting to hostilities without declar-
Ing war, but one case, that of her in
vasion Of Finland in 1903, when she
began war before there had even been

Count Cassini also informally inquired
about the report that the Commercial
Cable company had applied for land
ing privileges at Guam for a cable
from that island to Japan. He was
assured by Mr.. Hay that this govern
ment at present was considering no
such application. The ambassador did
not give any intimation as to what the
attitude of his government would be
in this matter. The Associated Press
