Russia's Chief Peace Ambassador
Thinks They Will Be.
MR. WHITES PERSONAL VIEWS
Ultimate Decision Remains In Hands
OF Gar, He Says-Declares Worle
Should Rid Itself OF Idea Rus
sla Wants Peace at Any Price.

St Petersburg, July lS.-M. Witte,
the senior Russian peace plenipoten-
tiary, received the correspondent of
the Associated Press at his villa of
Yelagln island Monday
M. WiJre spoke in French. After
greetings, which were cordial. the con-
yersation grayitated quickly to tae
high mission with With the Russian
statesman is charged and the DISPOSE
ton Of the foreign press TO interpret
his appointment as an indication that
Russil had decided to make peace at
any pee.
NO, no." said no, strengthening up
in his chair and speaking slowly 4nG
distinctly, as if weighing the value OF
each word In the first place, l have
been designated By the emperor as hi5
ambassador extraordinary for pour
parlers with the japanese plenipotcu-
tlaries 10 ascertain whether It is pos
sible 20 conclude O treaty OF peace.
Ny personal views are OF secondary
Importance, but my ideas are IN CT
tire accord with those OF my friend,
Count Lamsdorf
Has Preclse Instructions.
an serving my emperor I have re-
ceived precise instructions from ais
majesty, and shall follow them.
The ultimate decision remains 81
the hands Of the emperor, and It is for
him to decide the destinies or Russia.
The emperor is the friend OF peace
and desires peace. but l very mIcE
fear that the japanese terms viii be
such that we will be unable TO reaca
an accord.
Secondly. the world should dis
ebuse is mind Of the idea that Russia
wants peace at any price. There are
two parties in Russia One favors the
continuation OF the war a Outrance-
this Is a large and influential pa-tv.
The other, TO which I belong. favors
peace. l avow it frankly, because
telling the truth has always been my
rule il politics. I was for peace be-
fore austilities broke out. When The
war began the situation changed.
Even though there are these two
parties as to the ACCESSIBILITY of end
ing the war in the present circrm-
stances. both would be united IL the
japanese demands wounded the amour
propre of tho Russian people or Jeopar-
died cur future as a nation.
81 am sure if l report that the condi-
lions of Japan cannot be accepted,
Russia Will accept the verdict. and
the Rrssisn people viii be ready 10
continue the war If necessary.
Russia Not Crushed.
Thirdly, Russia is rot crushed, as
the foreign press has led the world TO
believe. The interior situation Is very
serious, l do not deny, but in Europe
and America the true significance Of
what is happening is rot understood
Corr sspondents come here and talk
with a few hundred people in st.
Petersburg and Moscow, misinterpret
what - happening and I'LL the wor;i

Count Whites Opportunity.

Count Witte stands out as the hero
Of the hour, says Charles Johnston in
Harper's Weekly. More than that, he
is now one of the three most conspicu
GUS personalities in the world, and the
nation at whose head he stands is the
second in the world in point of terri
tory and the first of the white nations
in population Count Witte has de-
served we'll Of the Russian empire. He
pie. He has deserved we'll OF humani-
ty. The czar, left to reactionary coun-
selOrs like PobiedOnostseff, might have
deluged his land in blood and buried
his throne in destruction. Thepeople, led
by the anarchists and revolutionists,
cry and chaos Count Witte bridged
the chasm. Possessing the full conf
dence of the car and with the laurels
Of Portsmouth still green upon him. he
did not hesitate to withstand the car
and tell him unwelcome truth. Stand
Ing for order, he yet came forward as
the champion of the people, the her
aid of the peoples will. Yet he made
no concession to lawlessness or DEM
agogy, but stood firmly for stability
and ordered freedom. He now reaps
his reward and as the head Of Rus
sia's first constitutional cabinet will
hold the destiny Of the nation in his
hands.
