RUSSIA WILL FIGHT
TO THE BITTER END.
Cassini Declares His Country win
Fight Till 1t COnauers,

A
Fight Till 1t COnauers,
Washington, Nov. 14.-"Russia will
pursue the war in the Far East to tbe
bitter end-that is. until Russia has
conquered"
These are the opening words of an
emphatic statement made at the Rus
sian embassy to-day by Count Cassini
the Russian ambassador. The state
ment continues:
Il deem it my duty to reiterate what
have SO often said, that Russia will
not suspend in any case her military
operations in the Far East. All RI
mors and reports regarding the possi-
bic success of the direct overtures for
peace, which Japan is said to have
maze TO Russia. and regarding the
medlat1on of the Powers, are, in nv
opinion, started for the purpose of
convincing the public that the end of
the war is close at hand. In this way
II IS hoped that the public may be led
TO oelleVe that Japanese loans offer
attractive investments.
Russia can no more admit of inter
ference than Great Britain could in
the Transvaal or than could the Unit
ed states in her war with Spain.
Where the prestige of a country is at
stake all other considerations are and
must be put aside.
Some people may think that finan-
cial difficulties will influence Russia
to end hostilities. Such an opinion is
based on the false assumption of Rus
sla's financial resources. There is no
doubt whatever that Russia, whose
annual income exceeds one milliard
of dollars, cannot be influenced in her
attitude toward the outcome of the
war by the amount of war expendi-.
lures. Is it not altogether out of the
question that Russia, who did not ex-
pect war, should, in the moment when
