RUSSIA READY FOR PEACE.
Would End War Now II II Could Be
Done Without Sacrifice Of Prestige.

Paris, May 26.-Russia is ready for
peace if it can be brought about in
such a way as will not cause her
too much loss of prestige. This is
the news which reaches here from st.
Petersburg, and while It can not be
officially verified, it is believed in dip
lomatic circles.
1t is said that Russia realizes nll-
ly that if she is to win ultimately, and
no doubt is felt on this point at St,
Petersburg, it will be at an enormous
cost in treasure and men, from which
Russia can not hope to get any ade-
uUate results. 1t is realized, too, that
Russian prestige in Asia has suffered
already, and even though in the end
victorious, 1t is bound to suffer more.
Under the circumstances, therefore,
it is not regarded as strange that the
cars government would willingly lis
ten to any suggestions properly made
which would bring about peace in a
way that would enable Russia TO save
lie. face.
