GREAT BRITAIN

Russia Will Get What She
Wants In Manchuria.
AN AGREEMENT PROBABLE
KING EDWARD BUSY CLEARING
THE WAY.

Ut PETERSBURG. April AL
y though no official expression re-
garding the victory Of the British
expedition to Tibet is obtainable to-
night, it is certain that the matter Will
not attract the attention which IL
would have done before the outbreak
of the war with Japan. when Russian
interests in the results Of the ex3edi-
tion was very keen The real purposes
or the expedition were then viewed
with the gravest suspicion. # being
feared that a definite esta blishulent OF
British influence over the grand lama
Of lHassa. which was regarded as
Great Britain's object would be re-
garded as a severe blow TO Russian
prestige both in Tibet and in China.
Russia's Hands Tied
The situation is now changed. becausa
Russia's hands are at present too fun
to leave her free to act. even If so dis
posed, and secondly-perhaps Of even
more impOrtance-because there are
now increasing indications that better
relations between Great Britain ana
Russia are in sight. or at least. there
is an increasing desire for such reIa-
lions by both countries
Several leading newspapers here have
the NOvOe Vremya. Only this morning
the Novosti calmly discussed Great
BPitain's lOng-standing desire TO OBJ
tain a prOtectOrate over Tibet as being
i'm a fair way TO succeed. declaring thar
neither Russia nor China would object
while a special dispatch from the Paris
correspondent Of the NOVOe Vremya.
said that an entente between Russia.
and Great Britain would be effected on
the basis of a Russian free hand in
Manchuria and a British free hand in
Tibet.
Way Being Cleared.
In best informed circles, however. a
definite rapprOaChement is regarded as
premature at the present time, and. In
deed. impossible while Great Britains
ally ia at war with Russia. Neverthe-
less, the Associated Press is in posses
sion Of information that King Edward
is looking forward to and clearing the
way for an entente, which viii settle
the differences between the two cOun-
tries once war has been cleared from
the horizon.
One of the best informed diplomats is
bold enough to predict that the basis
of settlement viii include giving Rus
STA, if victorious, what she wants in
Manchuria, the opening or neutraliza-
ton of the Dardanelles and the outlet
to the PERSIAN gulf in return for an
absolute guarantee Of Greet Britain's
Indian frontier. and of her pred0m-
mating influence IN Tibet.

fronted with a coal famine as result
of the lockout which closed every mine

il is only possible to secure coal in lin
tied quantities from those points. I'm

Younghusband. commanding the Brit
ish mission to Tibet, through Lord Cur
ION, viceroy Of India. which confirm
the statement OF the Associated Press
concerning the engagement between the
British and TibettOns near Guru yes

the PHassa general who fired the first
shot. thereby melting the TibetOns 10

that the Tibetans were so hemmed in
that they could not use their weapons
the British loss might have been much
more serious

peared TO be in the best Of health and
