GIVE JAPS A FREE HAND
Kaiser Will Refuse to Intervene in
Negotiations Beyond Advising
Moderation,

st. Petersburg. July 2S.-From well
Informed quarters it is learned that the
kaiser at his meeting with the car ex-
pressed his views on absolute
chies and the proper relation of the
socialistic interest as a sovereign rul-
ing by divine right to the only other
emperor whose authority is similarly
derived.
In the matter of external policy the
kaiser'S purpose was to dissuade Rus
sia from abandoning definitely her pol
icy of expansion in the extreme orient.
and especially to discourage her from
turning towards Asia Minor and the
Persian gulf.
Intervention by Germany In behalf
of Russia during the peace negotiations
etween the plenipotentiaries of the
ear and mikado will not result from
the conference.
The most Germany will do will be to
urge, as has President Roosevelt, that
Japan be moderate in her terms, but
this representation Will be In the ma
ture of a suggestion and not In the way
of Il command.
This information came from a diplo-
mat who is Informed thoroughly as to
the far eastern policy of the kaiser. He
declared that the German emperor,
through his minister at Toxic. strongly
had supported President Roosevelt's eff
forts to bring about peace negotia-
tons between the Russians and Jap
anese, and gave some additional facts
which have not been published hitherto.
1t appears that in the first note Rus
STA sent to the president III answer to
his preliminary suggestion that an at
tempt be made to end the war, the
cars government impressed upon
America the necessity of exercising a
"moderating influence upon the Jap
aneSe.
Fear Growing Power of Japan.
1t is expected that Japan Will sub
NIT demands contemplating the limita-
ton of the naval force which Russia
shall maintain In the Pacific. The
Russian government regards a demand
of this character as humiliating and
Will resist 1T, perhaps to the point Of
breaking off the negotiations.
Germany desires to offset Japan in
some way in the far east. Her rela-
lions with England are Of such a char
acter that she must maintain her whole
navy In German waters. She herself
cannot put into the Pacific a force to
rival that of Japan.

half in the tlantic ocean and English
channel.
The relations of France and England
are becoming close and in the distant
future a part OF the French fleet might
be spared for service in the Pacific. but
1t would be more han offset by the
Japanese and English navies. which
would cooperate under the terms of
the renewed Anglo-Japanese alliance
Practically Shut Out of Orient.
Consequently, Russia Is the only ma
ton whose interests command the
maintenance of a large fleet in the Pa
cific. and Germany would like her as
istance to preserve the balance OF
power. With Russia a cipher in the
Ear east. and England and France anti
German. the commerce and prestige Of
Kaiser Wilhelm's government in China
are practically at the mercy Of thu

HAS STARTLING
PROPOSAL FOR PEACE
Will Demand That Vladivostok
Be Not Fortified and Will
Do Same at Port Arthur.
PLAYS A SHREWD GAME
Japanese Have Proceeded to stack
the Deck" in Getting Situation in
Asia in Hand and Now Hold
All the Trumps.

Washington. July 29.-As a clearer
Idea Is gained of Japan's peace terms.
whose general character was outlined
in Associated Press dispatches last
night, the skepticism With which
Washington received the European re-
ports that Japan would demand the
naturalization of E~ladivostok is les
sened.
In fact, it is learned that not only
is this likely to constitute II of ia
pans demands, but it will be accom-
plished by a startling counter proposal.
In effect. according to a seemingly well
informed source. Japan will propose in
return for naturalization of this last
Russian port on the Pacific not to for
tify Port Arthur.
Should his information prove correct
it will entirely change the view which
has prevailed in official circles that the
question of Nladivostok's naturalization
could not be reasonably made Il Fart
of Japan's peace price.
An interesting story is current in
diplomatic circles regarding the selec-
ton Of Baron Komura as Japan's chief
plenipotentiary. According to the story
Japan had hardly less trouble than did
Russia in finding an official willing to
undertake the delicate mission. Ko-
mura was finally induced to accept it
with the stipulation t!%s1 before the
conference assembled the following
things should be done:
First, flotation of new loan in ORDER
that Japan should be prepared to con-
tinue the war in event the effort for
peace failed: second. occupation of the
island of Sakhalin; third, advance
against ~NladivostOk: last, that Oyama
should strike a decisive blow at the
Russian army in Manchuria.
The fact that the first three Stipula-
tons have been fulfilled, while advices
from the front indicate the imminence
OF a general engagement would indi-
cate the story was we'll founded.
