THE WORLD WEARY OF WAR.
London Paper Thinks the Gear Should
Make Peace.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK October 29.-A cable dis
patch from London says: Commenting on
the fact that the Russians continually re-
tire before the Japanese, even though they
are superior in force the Daily Telegraph
asks whether the czar has no minister who
dare tell him the bitter truth, which Cor
chakobb told his grandfather, Alexander II,
your majesty nlustimake peace
1.-THE victory" says the paper, (which
the holy Russian is praying for and which
the humble Russian private is stubbornly
and pathetically fighting for, does not come
Nor can 1t while Oyama and his triumvirate
Of generals SO clearly overtop the opponents
who are pitted against them. and the jap
aneSe soldier is superior to the Russian In
initiative. in attack and even in defense.
1t is for the car to rise superior to his ad-
visers. to take the true view and to lay
foundations of a lasting peace by the max
ing formal abandonment Of policy which
brought Aon the lamer1table conflict. There's
no nation in bthe world which would not
recognize in such an action on the part of
Nicholas II proofs of his sincere huna nifty.
France, as the ally of Russia, would re-
joice at the conclusion of hOstilities with
unalloyed thanks, giving which would be
eagerly shared by this country as the ally
of Japan. Without invitation there is of
course, no question of intervention by either
of these powers Or by any still more neutral
power, such as the United States, which Is
Japan, or Germany, which is in general
sympathy with Russia. Yet either one or
all would be ready to lend their good offices,
singly or in union, If the car were willing
to terminate this quarrel on terms upon
which peace might be made. Appeal either
to Washington or Berlin would probably not
fail of the desired result. The world Is
weary of the dreadful struggle"
A correspondent with the Russians at
Mukden says that during the fighting many
of the Russian soldiers become almost in
sane from excitement and fire their guns
at random, while the Japs are cool but
active and shoot with deadly effect The
correspondent attempted to photograph one
of the excited Russians and the latter
turned his gun on him and tried to shoot
him, but the colonel of the regiment inter-
fered and saved him. The story that Ku-
ropatkin advanced against his better judg-
ment is a mistake. The truth is he had
announced beforehand his intention to at
tack if a certain number of reinforcements
were sent him, and having received them
he advanced. His extreme optimism Is
shown by his kilograms.
The Petit Journal of Paris says that Ku-
ropatkin neither desired nor proposed the
war against Japan, for he considered it use
less. Kuropa tkin would have preferred an
Afghan campaign which would have re-
duced India to submission and put an end
to the duel between Russia and England
Whatever may happen, he has done his best
In the midst of an ineXtricable situation.

COAST SUBMARINE DEFENSE.
To Make It Efficient Will Cost
$3,S19,42O.

1t has been represented to the general
staff of the army that it will require an ex-
penditure of $3.S19, 420 to place the subma-
rine defenses of the United States in a
state of efficiency. This estimate is made
by the torpedo board recently in session at
Fort Totten, N. Y, and includes an item of
81, lS5, 144 for the defense of the eastern
entrance to Long Island sound. In support
of it's estimates the board poin.s out that
the cost of the entire system of submarine
defense is about one-half the cost of a
modern battle ship and is regarded as in
significant when the valuable results to be
attained are considered

Result Of Departmental Investigation
of Vic Sloan's "Good Thing"

Vic. Sloan of West 45th street, New York,
sent circulars through the mails to the eff
feet that he was in possession of Informal
ton that at date in the near future GER
tain horse race would have an entry quoted
at $50 to 1 in the betting, and that the
horse thus quoted would win.
He called attention to the fact that $40
placed at these odds would make 81. 500 for

and would take all funds sent to him for
the purpose and place them on the horse
at the odds quoted.
The matter came to the attention of the
Post Office Department, an investiga ton
was begun and has resulted in the issu-
ance of a fraud order against Sloan for
