RUSSIA PREPARING AN
OFFICIAL STATEMENT

~. Petersburg. Feb. S.-The Russian
foreign Office is preparing a statement
OF the negotiations between Russia and
Japan 1t may be in the form of a cir
cular note 10 the Russian representa-
lives abroad but it is more likely to be
puDllshed in the Official Messenger as
an Ohncial communication.
The situation automatically IS deli
cate and anomalous. Just what Japan
csc action Russia would consider a
cause for war under the circumstances
is not clearly defined, but If is pointed
out that when Japan abruptly. severed
diplomatic negotiations notification was
given concerning the RussO-Japanese
treaty OF 1896 and 1898, covering Korea
These treaties provide for the indie
pendence OF. Korea, and in view of the
commercial interests Of japanese in the
hermit kingdom, Russia therein recog-
nlzed Japam's right 10 send troops TO
Korea for the preservation Of order.
a Delicate Point.
There is however, an important res
erVatiOn. In case Japan considers il
necessary to avail herself Of this clause.
Russia must receive an advance noti-
ucatiOn. The treaties ara specific on
This point Technically. the landing Of
a japanese army in southern Korea
without the notification which Japan
could not give now that diplomatic re-
AatIons have ceased, would be a breach
of the spirit Of the convention. The
Russian authorities declare their posi-
ton automatically IS very strong. 1t
Is possible, however, that Russia in
stead OF insisting on the inViolabiIity
of these treaties at this iuncture. will
take her stand on the contentious set
uD In the negotiations and await a
Japanese invasion Of northern Korea
for the neutrality OF which Russia in
sisted as an overt act equivalent to
war.
Slender Hope For Peace.
The situation is such that the author
tiles are prepared at any moment TO
hear that Japan has made an aggres-
sive move which would make a sem
blance OF peace any longer impossible,
and the car is making dispositions aC-
c0rdingly- Although IN diplomatic cir
Cles there still is some vague talk 10 the
effect that hosIilities may be averted,
this hope is regarded as 50 slender as
hardly to be worth considering. Media
ton is believed to be impossible unless
the two adversaries ask for il. Neither
France nor Great Britain are in posi-
ton 10 offer their good offices, on aC-
count Of their alliances. and the dis
trust here OF the United States would
make it difficult for America to do so.
In short. war is regarseS here as prac-
tically inevitable.
The people Of the Russian capital
have been thoroughly aroused by the
japanese action and war is the only
subject discussed The greatest activity
prevails in government circles. Heavy
snow is falling and the streets are filled
with marching soldiers in campaign
uniforms.
IN the first hours Of excitement. after
the receipt Of the news OF the Japanese
action the imperial train was ordered
